Son Seok-gu has a grounded, understated charm that makes people curious about the smaller details — the kind of scent he gravitates toward, what he keeps in his bag, and how he expresses himself without trying too hard. For a long time, fans didn’t have many clues. Then a Vogue Korea video finally offered one.

In Vogue Korea’s “What’s In My Bag,” he casually takes out a bottle of Armani Privé Vert Malachite.

Vert Malachite was originally a gift from a friend, and after receiving it, he used it almost every day for five years. What he loves most is its uniqueness — a scent that’s “hard to explain,” something he rarely smells on anyone else. He prefers fragrances that feel rare and individual, not the kind you catch on every passerby.

Vert Malachite itself fits his preference perfectly. It’s a creamy, floral fragrance from Armani’s Privé collection, inspired by the blend of energy and softness found in Russia. At its heart is a lush white lily accord, wrapped in warm Arabian jasmine and ylang-ylang. As it settles, the scent softens into gentle resins and vanilla absolute, creating a warm, glowing finish. It’s elegant, comforting, and quietly distinctive — exactly the kind of scent someone like Son Seok-gu would choose.
