Fragrance is no longer limited to the skin. Today, scent has expanded beyond traditional perfume to include products for the hair, car interiors, and other everyday spaces.

As part of this growing lifestyle fragrance trend, Monclos has introduced its Hair Perfume Mist - Vanilla Musk.

Here's a closer look at the fragrance itself and what makes this product different.

1. What Does It Actually Smell Like?

At first glance, the name Vanilla Musk might suggest a rich, sweet fragrance. However, Monclos Hair Perfume Mist – Vanilla Musk takes a more balanced approach.

The fragrance opens with fresh citrus notes, gradually transitions into soft vanilla and delicate florals, and finishes with warm woody notes that linger gently throughout the day.

Rather than feeling overly sweet from the beginning, it evolves into a smooth, cozy fragrance. If you enjoy vanilla but find heavy vanilla perfumes overwhelming, this composition offers a refreshing alternative.

Beyond its fragrance, the formula also includes moisturizing and protein- care ingredients, making it more than just

a perfume— it is a fragrance mist specifically designed for the hair.

2. From Fresh Citrus to a Warm, Comforting Finish

The fragrance follows a classic three-stage fragrance pyramid.

It begins with the bright freshness of bergamot and mandarin, complemented by the subtle spice of cardamom. Instead of opening with intense sweetness, it creates a crisp and refreshing first impression.

At the heart are vanilla absolute, white iris, and ylang-ylang, where the creamy softness of vanilla blends beautifully with elegant floral notes.

The fragrance finally settles into a comforting base of sandalwood, tonka bean, and vetiver, creating a warm, smooth finish while balancing the sweetness with subtle woody depth.

3. A Modern Gourmand Created by a French Perfumer

The fragrance was created in collaboration with Marie Salamagne, Senior Perfumer at DSM-Firmenich, one of the world's leading fragrance companies.

She is known for her work on fragrances for internationally recognized luxury brands including Yves Saint Laurent, Maison Margiela, and Giorgio Armani.

According to Monclos, the collaboration was intended to capture both the elegance of French niche perfumery and the brand's own identity.

The fragrance is a contemporary interpretation of the Gourmand family-- a fragrance style inspired by warm, comforting notes often associated with desserts and edible ingredients.

Rather than relying solely on sweetness, it layers vanilla and tonka bean with citrus, floral, and woody notes to create

a more refined and balanced fragrance experience.

4. Why Is It Designed for Hair?

Although hair perfumes may look similar to traditional perfumes, they are created with a different purpose in mind.

While traditional perfumes are formulated primarily for fragrance on the skin, hair perfumes are designed with both hair-friendly application and hair care in consideration.

Monclos Hair Perfume Mist contains:

10 types of Hyaluronic Acid
13 types of Peptides

According to the brand, the hyaluronic acid complex is formulated to help maintain moisture and enhance shine, while the peptide complex is designed to support healthier-looking hair by helping care for the hair's protein structure.

The lightweight water-mist formula also delivers an ultra-fine spray that distributes evenly throughout the hair, allowing multiple applications without stickiness or product buildup.

5. Who Is It Best For?

This product is an excellent choice for those who prefer a soft, elegant fragrance that gently lingers in the hair rather than a bold traditional perfume.

It is also ideal for anyone looking for a fragrance that combines the sweetness of vanilla with fresh citrus and warm woody notes for a more balanced scent profile.

Finally, for those who prefer an all-in-one solution instead of carrying both a perfume and a separate hair mist, Monclos Hair Perfume Mist offers the convenience of fragrance and hair care together in a single spray.

Nam Bo-ra Shares Pre-Delivery Anxieties Ahead of Naturalistic Childbirth

Actress Nam Bo-ra has opened up about her growing nervousness as her due date approaches. On June 9, she shared an update on her Instagram story featuring a pregnancy app screen indicating that her delivery countdown has officially entered single digits, leaving her with just nine days before welcoming her baby.

Expressing her relatable fears, the actress admitted to feeling terrified about the impending labor pains. She confessed that watching childbirth videos makes her highly anxious, noting how incredibly intense the experience appears for mothers in labor.

Nam Bo-ra married a businessman of the same age in May last year and announced her pregnancy the following December. She is expecting a boy this June and has chosen a naturalistic childbirth approach, opting out of both labor induction and an epidural. During a radio appearance last month, she explained that she hopes this decision will lead to a faster delivery, as she heard epidurals can sometimes reduce physical strength and delay labor.

She also took the opportunity to clear up common misconceptions about her chosen method. Nam Bo-ra clarified that naturalistic childbirth does not mean giving birth at home. She emphasized that a medical doctor will still guide the delivery in a proper facility, but without the use of chemical interventions like induction drugs or pain-relieving epidurals.

During the showcase, Yerin highlighted her artistic development, explaining that she focused on delivering raw emotions rather than relying on vocal techniques. She noted that fans will be able to hear her growth in both her vocal tone and overall performance, as she put extensive effort into conveying the deep meaning behind the lyrics.

The singer also playfully shared a personal update about her physical transformation during the preparation period. She revealed that she did not intentionally go on a diet, but naturally shed weight because she worked incredibly hard on the release. She laughed while adding that she focused heavily on maintaining her beauty for this comeback.

'Reach You' is set to hit major online music streaming platforms at 6 p.m. on June 9. The new album promises to show a more mature and refined side of the artist as she continues her journey as a solo vocalist.

Singer-turned-actress Kang Mi-na may soon take on a bold new role in the upcoming drama "Protect Me." Her agency, Story J Company, confirmed that she has received an offer for the series and is currently reviewing it with a positive outlook.

Based on a popular webtoon of the same name, "Protect Me" is an office romantic comedy centered around two individuals with severe trust issues.

Kang Mi-na has been offered the role of Kang Hae-ra, a fierce senior detective serving on a violent crime unit. If she accepts, this project will mark another major transition in her acting career, moving away from her usual characters into a more action-oriented and charismatic persona.

Since transitioning into acting after her 2016 debut with the project girl group I.O.I, Kang Mi-na has steadily built up her filmography. She has showcased her versatile acting skills through various roles in hit series such as "Hotel Del Luna," "Welcome to Samdal-ri," and "Moonshine."

Singer Kim Yun-seol, known for her recent appearance on the audition show Sing Again 4, has tragically passed away at the age of 27. Industry sources confirmed that she left this world on June 7, and her funeral procession was held on the morning of June 9. She was laid to rest at Seongnam Yeongsengwon.

The heartbreaking news spread through social media, where colleagues and fellow musicians paid tribute to her memory. Those who worked with her deeply mourned the loss, fondly remembering her as a remarkably kind and warm-hearted individual.

Kim Yun-seol first made a name for herself in 2013, when she won Mnet's youth survival program Voice Kids thanks to her exceptional vocal talent. She made her official debut that same year with the single "Man and Woman" and continued her musical journey with subsequent releases like "Finally Good-bye."

Driven by her lifelong passion for singing, she frequently shared her voice on various music platforms, appearing on The Voice of Korea 2020 and I Can See Your Voice 7. In October of last year, she once again captured the public's attention by competing as Contestant No. 6 on Sing Again 4.

Park Bo-young Dismisses Demands for Statement on Ballot Shortage Protests

right-le — Wed, 10 Jun 2026 17:12:32 +0900

Actress Park Bo-young addressed the public pressure regarding the recent local election controversies through a fan communication platform on June 7. She reassured her followers, stating, "Don't worry. There's not much impact," effectively dismissing the forceful demands for her to make an official statement.

Her personal social media channels had been flooded with comments criticizing her silence on the ongoing protests blocking the Jamsil ballot counting center. Some users accused her of having "selective justice," pointing out that while she previously supported citizens during the martial law incident and anti-government rallies, she remained silent on the current voting crisis.

The controversy stems from the June 3 local elections, where severe ballot shortages at several polling stations in Seoul—including Gangnam, Gwangjin, and Songpa districts—forced voters into long delays. Following the voting mishap, angry citizens at a Jamsil polling station blocked the entrance to demand a re-election, delaying the removal of ballot boxes for 35 hours.

Protests have continued for days at the Olympic Park Handball Gymnasium, the main ballot counting center for the Jamsil area. Despite the mounting pressure from critics online to voice her opinion on this political situation, Park chose to briefly comfort her fans instead of engaging in the controversy.

Monclos Launches on KakaoTalk Gift Shop, Introducing Popular Hannam Store ‘Custom Keyrings’

right-le — Fri, 5 Jun 2026 18:16:41 +0900

Recently, the trend of "self-gifting"—purchasing items for oneself—has become

increasingly prominent in the mobile gift market. According to Kakao,

during the Kakao Shopping Festa this past March,

transaction volume for self-gifting on the Gift Shop platform surged 53% compared to the same period last year.

While gifts for acquaintances are primarily chosen for their practicality,

purchases made for oneself tend to be heavily driven by personal taste and self-satisfaction.

Paying close attention to this shift, house beauty brand Monclos announced

on the 4th that it officially launched on KakaoTalk Gift Shop on the 1st of this month.

Monclos plans to use this launch as a stepping stone to mount a full-scale push into the mobile gift market.

In particular, the brand is bringing its customization keyring service—which

received an enthusiastic response at its Hannam flagship store—directly to the Gift Shop channel.

Customers purchasing products can mix and match four different main keyring designs with

alphabet initials according to their preference to receive their own personalized keyring.

For its platform lineup, Monclos is putting its three popular keyring-compatible products from the Hannam store at the forefront: Comfort Hand Cream, Peptide Plumping Lip Serum, and PDRN Moisture Sun Cream. In addition, the brand has curated a diverse selection ranging from hair and body care lines, such as the Velvet Nourishing Treatment and Ritual Moisture Body Lotion, to home fragrances. Monclos also plans to introduce exclusive KakaoTalk Gift Shop sets in the future.

To celebrate the launch, a month-long rolling promotion will run throughout June. In addition to standard discount coupons based on purchase amounts, special period-specific benefits have been prepared. From the 8th to the 14th, customers will receive tier-based coupons along with an extra 10% discount when paying with KakaoPay.

From the 22nd to the 28th, the brand will continue its promotional momentum by offering discount coupons of up to 5,000 KRW alongside a 10% KakaoPay payment discount.

A Monclos representative stated, "As the gift market evolves into a shopping platform for oneself, products that reflect personal taste and satisfaction are gaining significant attention. Through our distinctive custom keyring service and diverse product lineup, we hope more consumers will experience Monclos’s wellness rituals."

Meanwhile, Monclos, which showcases beauty products combining high-performance formulas with natural ingredients sourced from Union Farms worldwide, is actively expanding its online and offline presence. Offline, the brand can be found at the Hannam flagship store, Olive Young, and Musinsa Megastore Seongsu. Online, its products are available through its official online mall, Olive Young Online Mall, Naver Brand Store, KakaoTalk Gift Shop, Musinsa, and Beauty Kurly.
