Minho Of Shinee Has Officially Joined Ralph’s Club

  • By Bryan Goh


Frankly, what does Minho of Shinee have in common with Ralph’s Club Parfum? Sure, one can say that both are equally handsome but their commonality comes in the form of a remix. For Ralph’s Club Parfum, it remixes everything the world loves about the brand’s fragrances (we’ll get to that in a bit) and for Minho himself, the star has reworked his artistry from teeny-bopper artist to a full-on actor meets creative.


Think of Ralph’s Club Parfum as a remix of the brand’s perfumes with a new “sparkling apple” top note with a musky marine base. 

While Minho himself loves Ralph’s Club Parfum for its intense woodiness, the fragrance itself is an olfactory gateway to the glamorous lifestyle has been promoting for the past five decades. Its initial spritz is a heady blast of spice and fruit (think The Back Room in New York City) and the aforementioned “sparkling apple” note adds a slightly acidic feel.


Its sophisticated heart however, is a blend of lavender, clary sage and geranium. While not entirely new to Ralph Lauren and its fragrances (Purple Label Ralph Lauren fans will love this), the intrigue of Ralph’s Club Parfum is that it is a fresh and herbaaceous scent that grows stronger the longer it settles on one’s skin.

As for the dry down, think of it like a Ralph Lauren smoking suit: the warmth of vetiver, sexiness of patchouli and the snuggle-factor of cashmeran.


And like Ralph Lauren’s ready to wear itself, Ralph’s Club comes with hidden details: its hinge cap comes detail with the iconic Ralph’s Club monogram.
