Beauty stores · Hannam
Find a fragrance direction in a green, roomy Hannam setting: compare Santal Cream’s wood and spice with Gentle Night’s tea and suede-like notes, or try smoky-floral Gaiac Flower. The testing sink lets you explore hand care too, if you prefer an everyday scented souvenir.

Good to know
Why visit
- NONFICTION Hannam makes fragrance shopping a hands-on stop: compare the Korean brand's perfumes, test hand care and decide which scent you would actually enjoy taking home. Greenery and a roomy interior were part of one recent visitor's experience, giving this branch an appeal beyond simply picking up a bottle.nonfiction+2
Compare two woody directions
- The brand describes Santal Cream through sandalwood, vetiver, fig and cardamom, while Gentle Night centres on fig, white tea, suede and cedarwood. Start with that contrast: wood and spice versus tea and a soft leather-like note. Test both to see which you prefer on your skin.nonfiction
- For a floral alternative, the official guide pairs Gaiac Flower's wild rose with guaiac wood, amber and vanilla, describing a smoky floral character. Test it alongside the woody pair if you want flowers with a warm, woody background rather than choosing solely from a perfume's name.nonfiction
Try the format as well as the scent
- In a January 2026 post, Seoulshopper's writer said they normally favoured Santal Cream but were drawn to Gentle Night on this visit. They also tested body wash, hand wash and hand cream and admired the gift sets. A perfume, a cream and a wash serve different uses, so try the format you intend to buy rather than assuming your preferred scent feels identical in every product.seoulshopper
The Hannam setting
- The same writer noticed flowers and greenery outside and found the larger interior comfortable for browsing and testing. Visit Seoul's tourism listing separately describes a testing sink and fragrance station. This is a good fit if you want to slow down and compare scents.seoulshopper+1
