FINALLY! Finally, YesStyle has a whole dedicated fragrance section! No more searching for “perfume” and “fragrance” just to get a bunch of results for hand cream or “perfumed body wash”.
Earlier this year, I told myself I will not be buying any more perfume, but flesh is weak and so am I. I couldn’t say no to 3CE Eau De Parfum. It comes in three scents inspired by “nature, art, and love”. I chose 003 Fragments of Summer, available on YesStyle (reward code KBHOBBIT). Ironically, you could grab a hand cream in a matching scent.
How to use
Spray anywhere you’d like (or on pulse points, if you are a rule follower)
I prefer to do one spray on each inner arm, otherwise I find the scent a bit too strong
The reason I chose Fragments of Summer over the other two options is the promised note of oolong tea. I love tea and aspire to smell like it. As a true Russian, I drink hot tea in any season, including Summer. 3CE also promises sparkling water, tepid wind, plus fig flowers and leaves. It sounds amazing. I highly suggest checking out the images on the YesStyle listing for a full list of top, middle, and base notes. Several of them are trademarked. I listed the ones I can pronounce :)
My impressions
I’m so happy I tried 3CE Eau De Parfum Fragments of Summer, and even happier to have access to Korean perfumes - something that wasn’t available to me a mere six months ago. The scent is fresh and vibrant, providing a little extra boost of positivity in the morning. It lacks the complexity of some of my favorite fragrances (like Nest Indigo, another amazing tea scent), but it still has a place in my scent wardrobe.
Despite promises of scent that “lasts for days”, Fragments of Summer definitely doesn’t even last one full day, but I’m OK with that. On me, it’s noticeable for about 6 hours. 12 hours later and I cannot detect it on my skin at all.
While this isn’t my forever perfume, I’m going to finish the bottle and wouldn’t mind trying the other two scents as well. It’s definitely worth a try if you are looking to branch into other categories of Korean beauty aside from makeup and skincare.
