When Did the KST SCENT Persimmon Bingsu Launch?

Price
Persimmon Bingsu costs $79 for the 30ml bottle, the same price as every other 30ml scent in the KST SCENT line. The 2ml vial is $10, a dollar more than the $9 vials of the brand's earlier scents. KST SCENT sells only through its US store, in US dollars.
KST SCENT Persimmon Bingsu Fragrance Notes
KST SCENT published a full pyramid:
- Top: Hongsi (red persimmon), banga leaf, yuja-ginger syrup
- Heart: Bangeonsi (semi-dried persimmon), milk snow
- Base: Persimmon sepal, sweet red bean rice cake, condensed milk
What Does KST SCENT Persimmon Bingsu Smell Like?
Going by the official notes, it opens on ripe red persimmon with citrusy yuja and ginger, plus banga, a Korean herb. The heart moves to semi-dried persimmon and a milky "snow" accord. The base is a dessert of red bean rice cake and condensed milk, with persimmon sepal, the green leafy cap of the fruit.
The story behind it, according to KST SCENT: persimmons are a fruit Koreans eat through autumn and winter, fresh (hongsi), semi-dried (bangeonsi) and fully dried (gotgam). The scent pairs that "familiar cold-season fruit" with bingsu, which the brand calls "one of Korea's most loved desserts".
What Makes KST SCENT Persimmon Bingsu Different?
- Three stages of one fruit. The pyramid uses persimmon at the top (fresh), heart (semi-dried) and base (sepal), rather than a single fruit note.
- A winter take on a summer dessert. Bingsu is usually eaten in summer; here it's paired with autumn-winter persimmon, red bean and condensed milk.
- Part of KST SCENT's Korean food series. The bottle label reads "Memories & Moments from Korea", the same line as the brand's Hotteok, Dujjonku, Banana Milk Coffee and Melon Pop scents, all $79 for 30ml.
Packaging
The 30ml bottle is frosted glass with a round white cap. The label has "Persimmon Bingsu" in orange, the Korean name 홍시빙수 and "KST SCENT" underneath.
