W. Dressroom New York is putting a twist on the traditional functional fragrance with a collection of products that goes beyond standard perfumes. 

Utilizing innovation to create a spray that is anti-bacterial and hypoallergenic to remove odors instead of masking, each scent is water based and oil-free, making them safe for fabric, skin and the environment, the brand said. 

Developed in South Korea by fashion designer Bumsuk Choi, the brand’s scents range from fruity to floral and woodsy to musky. 

“Fashion is not something that exists in dresses only. It is a way to say who you are without having to speak. Scent is the most powerful way to symbolize who you are,” said Bumsuk Choi.

The fragrances possess the ability to create escapism, evoke nostalgia, and create a personal self-care mini moment any time, any place, the company noted.

Hi-Chew Gummies and Gummies Sour will be available for purchase online at the beginning of July and will roll out to select retailers throughout the fall.
