So Maek

The ginseng, tea, and tobacco in this fragrance go so well together! I feel like I'm in a smoke shop having a warm green ginseng tea and chatting the evening away with a close friend. It's a really calming and grounding scent and super wearable. This fragrance house is so creative and I love how they compose fragrances based on their own memories. It make every scent that much more special!

So Maek opens up with beer foam and ginseng, bright and cheery, like hanging out with friends! The dry-down is green, clean, soft and musky. There is tobacco but it's more of tobacco leaf instead of smoky tobacco. Smells like a put-together charming person in a white t-shirt :D

bright, fresh, sparkling tea with a side of earthy booziness that’s just as fresh in a bed of dry, wispy tobacco and musk

i got a headache instantly upon applying this, which almost never happens. the opening is just so strong and alcoholic, but it does eventually dry down to a soft and pretty musky tea scent. if it was like that for the entire duration it'd get a much higher rating from me, but i can't get past that opening. overall rating: 🩷🩷💔🖤🖤 2.5/5

Crisp green tea and a buzzy high after your first cocktail on an empty stomach. Somehow both clean and dirty. The beer note definitely makes itself known, but it is competing with the bubbly silliness of ramune. Zesty! Unfortunately, this has a dank aspect to it underneath that is not for me.

She’s zesty and bright! A perfect interpretation of a sexy night out with all your friends, a cool breeze as you skip from bar to bar, passing someone rolling a tobacco cigarette. Beautiful, joyful and stupendous!

woody and green... i don't smell soju so much as i smell ramune soda. reminds me of winding down from a night out, sweating out liquor at the sauna.
