About Hwayang

What is Hwayang?

Hwayang is a Korean-inspired fragrance and community brand born from friendship and a shared love of BTS. Created by ARMY friends, our small-batch perfumes bring together symbolic birth flowers, memory and the stories that connect us.

Our scents draw on much-loved Korean ingredients such as ginseng, rice, gochugaru, pear, mugwort, perilla and sesame seeds, found in everyday life and special celebrations. Paired with a bag charm, each fragrance lets you carry your special moments wherever your day takes you.

Hwayang is an independent fragrance brand and is not affiliated with, sponsored by, or endorsed by BTS, BIGHIT MUSIC, or HYBE.

What is the h’yang fragrance collection?

h’yang is Hwayang’s debut collection of seven small-batch perfumes inspired by Korean culture, music and symbolic birth flowers. Each fragrance explores an emotion or experience such as comfort, curiosity, resilience, joy, tenderness, mystery or becoming.

Every h’yang fragrance begins with three elements: a birth flower, a Korean ingredient and a story.

Each scent is custom-formulated to stand on its own or be layered with others, inviting you to make it your own.

How did BTS and ARMY inspire Hwayang?

Hwayang began as a passion project among BTS ARMY friends, shaped by music, friendship and an appreciation of Korean culture. We wanted a perfume we could bring to concerts and attach to our bags, something personal that could also spark a connection with another fan.

Our appreciation of BTS lives through symbolism, birth flowers and stories of love, growth and belonging. Some details may feel familiar to fellow fans; others may become meaningful through your own experiences.

Is Hwayang only for BTS ARMY?

No. Although Hwayang was born from inspirations that many ARMY will recognise, our perfumes welcome Korean culture lovers, perfume lovers and anyone drawn to meaningful charms and keepsakes.

You do not need to know the references to find a scent or story that feels like yours.

Does Hwayang have perfumes for men?

Yes. All seven h’yang perfumes are unisex, made for anyone to wear regardless of gender. Choose by the fragrance notes you enjoy, the mood you’re in or the story that speaks to you.

Your nose doesn’t check gender labels. You like what you like.

Why are there seven fragrances?

Our debut collection, h’yang, brings together seven individual scent stories. Each has its own birth flower, Korean ingredient inspiration and story, while sharing the same roots in memory, connection and becoming.

What is the relationship between Hwayang and Tadhana?

Hwayang is a fragrance and community brand under Tadhana Fragrances Corp., a Filipino fragrance house. Hwayang brings its own stories and creative inspirations to life through this connection.

Bag Charm Perfumes

What is a bag charm perfume?

A bag charm perfume combines a portable fragrance with an accessory you can attach to your bag. Hwayang brings together custom-formulated perfume, birth flower details and storytelling in something you can carry, wear and talk about.

Part perfume, part keepsake, part conversation starter.

Can I attach Hwayang perfume to my bag?

Yes. Hwayang’s charm perfume is designed to attach to your bag, making your favourite fragrance part of your everyday style. Carry it on a concert bag or an everyday bag as a small expression of your personality and the stories you love.

Can I bring Hwayang perfume to a BTS concert?

Whether you can bring Hwayang perfume inside a BTS concert or any other event depends on the organiser’s rules for liquids, perfume bottles and bag accessories. Its portable size does not guarantee admission.

Check the policy for your specific venue and concert date before bringing your perfume.

How can a perfume charm help fans connect?

A familiar flower or a perfume charm on someone’s bag can offer a small opening for conversation. Compare scents, share your favourite combinations or talk about the story behind your choice.

For ARMY friends meeting at concerts, fan gatherings or cafés, Hwayang is another way to carry something meaningful and discover what you have in common.

Flowers, Ingredients and Fragrance

What are the seven h’yang perfumes?

The h’yang collection features seven perfumes, CLEMATIS 94,RUMEX 92, LARCH 93, BUTTERCUP 94, SPIREA 95, WINTERSWEET 95, LILY 97, each connecting a symbolic birth flower with a Korean ingredient inspiration.

Explore each fragrance’s product page for its scent notes and the story behind it.

Are Hwayang perfumes floral?

The birth flowers in Hwayang are symbolic, rather than ingredients in the perfumes. Each flower represents a personality and story, connected to scent notes inspired by Korean ingredients.

The flower gives the fragrance its symbolic identity; the fragrance notes describe how it smells.

Why does Hwayang connect birth flowers with Korean ingredients?

Birth flowers bring personal meaning to each fragrance, while Korean ingredients connect that story to a wider culture. Together, they reflect our appreciation of the traditions, flavours and everyday experiences that make Korea meaningful to us.

Each pairing becomes a way to explore an emotion through scent.

What do the flower names and numbers mean?

Each h’yang perfume is named after a symbolic birth flower paired with a year. These choices reflect the personal inspirations behind the collection and offer connections that BTS fans may recognise.

For those who recognise the references, there is another layer to discover. For everyone, there is a story to make their own.

How do I choose the right Hwayang perfume?

Start with the fragrance notes you enjoy, then explore the story that speaks to you. You might connect with a familiar ingredient, a symbolic flower or a feeling you want to carry through your day.

Whether you usually enjoy a fresh perfume or prefer warmer, richer scents, use each product’s scent description to guide your choice. Let the story draw you in, and let the scent help you decide.

Can I layer h’yang perfumes?

Yes. All seven h’yang perfumes are designed to be worn on their own or layered with each other to create a scent combination that feels uniquely yours.

BTS fans can think of layering as creating a favourite sub-unit: bring together your rap line, vocal line, dance line or maknae line—or let an unexpected duo or trio take the stage. Each scent has its own character; together, they tell a different story.

Wearing and Caring for Your Perfume

How long does Hwayang perfume last?

Perfume longevity varies with the fragrance, your skin, the weather and how much you apply. Refer to each product page for any fragrance-specific wear guidance.

Give the perfume time to settle on your skin so you can experience how its scent develops.

What are top, heart and base notes?

Fragrance notes describe how a perfume unfolds after you apply it.

  • Top notes create the first impression.
  • Heart notes emerge as the opening softens.
  • Base notes form the lasting foundation of the scent.

Together, they tell a story that develops over time.

How should I apply a Hwayang perfume?

Spray lightly from about 15–20 cm away onto pulse points, such as your wrists and neck, and let the fragrance settle without rubbing. Start with a small amount and adjust to your preference.

How should I store and carry my perfume?

When storing your perfume at home, keep it upright in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and heat. Close the bottle securely between uses to help preserve its fragrance.

When carrying it as a bag charm, check that the bottle is securely closed and the attachment is fastened. Avoid leaving it in direct sun or a hot car.
