[Travel in October – November 2025]
Granhand is one of my favourite places to visit on every trip to Korea. No matter how many times I return, it’s always on my list. I pick up my own favourites, choose gifts for friends, and somehow end up sharing the brand with everyone around me. If they fall in love with it too, they can always revisit Granhand on their next Korea trip, which makes it even more special, haha.
Over the years, I’ve visited several Granhand outlets across Seoul. You can read more about my experiences at Granhand Dosan, Granhand Mapo, and Granhand Seochon, each with its own mood, neighbourhood, and story. For fragrance lovers travelling to Korea, every Granhand store feels slightly different, yet unmistakably familiar.
This trip, though, is a little different. I’ll be visiting all nine Granhand outlets in Korea — every single one of them. It’s a small personal project, driven by my love for scent, slow travel, and discovering how place and fragrance come together. There’s a reason behind this journey, and I’ll be sharing it with you, one outlet at a time, along the way.
As you may have read in the previous post, this Granhand outlet is located just one floor below the café. It makes the experience even better because who doesn’t love an aesthetic café in Korea? After a relaxed chat with friends, enjoying the sunset view, you can head down to pick up a beautiful fragrance for your home or a thoughtful gift for someone special.
I love their tagline alot!
fragrance everywhere! I used to buy this and hang it in my wardrobe, and i still does that!
This store is super spacious!
I think Granhand’s visual merchandising is exceptionally well done. Across all their stores in Seoul, each space looks beautiful and thoughtfully designed. Even though every outlet has its own unique touch, you can immediately tell that it’s still Granhand.
They have different series and this store also sell beans!
Cin and me, and cin is very game to go on this granhand journey with me haha!
🙂
And the main reason behind this Granhand journey is the Granhand Passport. There are a total of nine stores, and we’ll be visiting every single one of them to collect a unique stamp in our Granhand Passport. Once all nine stamps are completed, we’ll be able to redeem a special gift.
But honestly, it’s less about the gift and more about the journey itself exploring different neighbourhoods, stepping into each Granhand space, and enjoying the process along the way.
I’ll be sharing more about my Granhand Passport journey in upcoming posts – A Granhand Journey in Korea 🙂

HELLOSIHUI’S THOUGHTS:
My personal advice? If you see something you love, just get it! You won’t regret it.
HELLOSIHUI’S TIPS:
If you’re doing the Granhand Passport journey, I recommend starting or ending with the Namsan store, as it’s slightly farther away compared to the other outlets.
