ZOMG Smells General Catalog Perfume Oil (Available)
This scent is based upon a 17th-century Korean recipe for a perfume worn by a lady of the Joseon court. The listed ingredients include "clove, anise, and nut-grass". We've added jaggery and ginseng accord.
No doubt there were many different perfumes, and many different names for those perfumes. The name for this one, however, has not survived. We considered choosing a new one. And then we realized that we couldn't hope to match the romance of a scent whose name itself had wafted away: "hyang-su" is simply Korean for "perfume", and the rest is lost to time. Ah, glamour.
