Villa Erbatium Scent of Seoul is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2025. Scent of Seoul opens with Bergamot and Hinoki Wood, settles into a heart of Bay Leaf and Tobacco, and dries down to a base of Cedar and Sandalwood. Villa Erbatium's Scent of Seoul carries a Favourite verdict, a woody-led wear.

This one's a proper grower. You might initially get a sour, almost 'Pinesol' blast, but give it a bit. It settles into something surprisingly elegant. It's got that divisive 'love it or hate it' thing going on with its unique cola-bay-mint vibe, so definitely sniff before you splurge.

About

Scent of Seoul bursts open with a sharp, almost tart citrus from the bergamot, quickly underpinned by the clean, almost balsamic whisper of hinoki wood. As it matures, a distinctly aromatic bay leaf emerges, intertwining with a smooth, slightly sweet tobacco note that some reviewers find reminiscent of cola. The drydown is a deeply comforting blend of cedar and creamy sandalwood, giving it a sophisticated, woody finish. It's truly a perfume of two halves, transforming from an initial zing to a refined, tranquil composure.
