What’s in Victon’s Bag?

Korean fashion magazine The Star has recently posted What’s In My Bag? interviews with the members of the K-Pop band Victon. All of them showed their favourite beauty products and fragrances.

Let’s start with Se-jun.

In his backpack there’s Le Labo Santal 33, a woody/powdery fragrance created by Frank Voelkl and launched in 2011.

Chan has two bottles in his Louis Vuitton shoulder bag.

The first is Yves Saint Laurent L’Homme eau de toilette, a warm spicy scent created by Anne Flipo, Pierre Wargnye, Dominique Ropion and Juliette Karagueuzoglou, and launched in 2006.

The second is Maison Francis Kurkdjian Aqua Universalis eau de toilette, created by Francis Kurkdjian and launched in 2009.

The band’s leader, Seung-sik, has opted for Byredo Super Cedar, a woody fragrance created by Jerome Epinette and launched in 2016.

Byung-chan shows one beauty product – Jo Malone Vitamin E lip conditioner.

Han-se stands out by showing a fragrance that looks like Byredo (same bottle) but it’s not! He explains he made it himself at a perfume bar in Seoul. When asked what it smells like, he said: “freshly-cut grass”.

Su-bin first shows a skincare product – Byredo Bal d’Afrique hand cream.

Like Chan, he has two bottles in his Louis Vuitton bag.

One is Le Labo Another 13, an amber woody fragrance created by Nathalie Lorson and launched in 2010.

The other is Frederic Malle Musc Ravageur, created by Maurice Roucel and launched in 2000.

Out of all the fragrances shown by Victon members, this is the one I would love to try: Su-bin points out the cedar and cinnamon notes, which I think are very intriguing.

Judy (2019)

The bathroom of the London hotel where Judy Garland (Renee Zellweger) is staying hides two British gems – both by Floris.

The first bottle on the left sitting on the top glass shelf is a Floris perfume. Unable to tell more about the exact fragrance, but the tall stopper is quite distinctive.

On the bottom shelf sits another Floris product – the concentrated bath essence in the big pyramid-shaped bottle with gold stopper.

On the bottom shelf there’s another bottle decorated with what looks like a ribbon. If so, it could be a Penhaligon’s fragrance, possibly Cornubia, a spectacular white floral launched in 1910 and now sadly discontinued.

Thanks to Scentimentalist for the Floris id and Rocco for the screencaps.

Claws S04E05 (Comeuppance)

Cherry (Gissette Valentin) remembers the time in which Ann defended her by fighting with a prison inmate who was beating her down for a bottle of CK One.

Mentioning CK One shouldn’t come as a surprise, since it’s probably one of the most popular ever. Created by Alberto Morillas and Harry Fremont, this citrus aromatic fragrance took the 1990s by storm with its minimal packaging, flask-shaped bottle and unisex appeal.
