About
A red-toned fragrance showroom for perfumes, diffusers, hand cream and wash products, with testers to smell and try.
The red, ethnic-leaning interior at Hetras Haeundae makes it feel more like a fragrance showroom than a standard cosmetics shop. Diffusers, perfumes, hand creams and wash products sit alongside everyday items such as toothpaste and toothbrushes, so there is more to browse than scent alone. The displays have a polished look, but the prices are more accessible than the room first suggests. You can pick up products and smell them without having to commit to a purchase. Wash products can be tested on the spot, making this an easy stop if you want to compare scents or simply try a hand wash. Perfume in a 50 ml bottle is around ₩60,000, hand cream about ₩9,000, and a set of three toothpastes ₩9,900. There is also a five-piece set of 15 ml Layered Handmade Perfumes for ₩68,000. There is no separate entry queue; browse freely, though the shop can get crowded. One blog lists hours as 11:00 to 23:30, so check before making a late visit. It works well for a small gift, a souvenir, or a quick sensory break while shopping. One reviewer complained about rude service, and the available sources do not establish whether staff speak English, so be prepared to browse independently.
