SW19 beyond Jeonghan’s campaign: comparing Midnight and 3pm fragrances
Korean fragrance brand SW19 draws its name from Wimbledon. Explore Jeonghan’s At Midnight campaign, the notes of Midnight and 3pm, and a practical approach to sampling.
SW19 names its fragrances after times of day, imagining scent as a scene that changes with the light. The Korean brand takes its name from a Wimbledon postcode in London. Its place of origin and the location inspiring its stories are distinct.
SEVENTEEN’s Jeonghan was announced as global brand ambassador on October 1, bringing attention to Midnight through the At Midnight campaign. Moving from a celebrity image to notes, personal preferences and sampling is what makes a fragrance a lasting part of daily life.
Key details
SW19 is a Korean fragrance brand named after the Wimbledon postcode in London.
Jeonghan’s global ambassador announcement was October 1, not a new appointment on October 23.
The scent stories include 6am, 8am, Noon, 3pm, Twilight, 9pm and Midnight.
Midnight places white flowers beside woods
Midnight is described through lily of the valley and white lotus, followed by white musk and a powdery impression, with sandalwood, benzoin and musk further along. A note list suggests a creative direction; it is not a fixed sequence everyone will experience on skin.
Those drawn to quieter, close-to-skin scents may want to sample it, while anyone sensitive to powdery or musky impressions can take extra time to compare. The nocturnal campaign mood does not restrict the fragrance to nighttime.

3pm suggests a brighter, greener afternoon
3pm lists bergamot, rhubarb and tangerine, followed by cedar, jasmine and gardenia, with white musk, vetiver and iris in the base description. Beside Midnight’s white-floral and powdery story, these notes suggest another starting point in fruit and greenery.
Sharing floral and musky elements does not make the two scents identical. Compare whether you prefer citrus brightness or a powdery, woody impression. Their names alone do not establish different concentrations or guaranteed wear times.

Turn campaign interest into a personal sampling list
Start with blotters if available, narrow down a few favourites, then follow the retailer’s rules for trying them on skin. Returning to a scent after some time can help you compare how it fits your preferences and surroundings, rather than trying to remember an entire shelf at once.
For a gift, learn what the recipient already wears and which notes they enjoy. Buyers in Taiwan can check actual listings through retailers such as Plaisir. Size, price, availability and return conditions should be checked when purchasing; a campaign does not ensure identical stock or offers everywhere.
