MU:DS Fragrance Goods Guide: What to Know About the Taylor Scents Museum Relic Edition

MU:DS fragrance goods moved into a new sensory category on June 18, 2026, when Taylor Scents collaborated with MU:DS from the National Museum Cultural Foundation on the “National Museum Relic Edition.” The collection translates museum memories, cultural heritage motifs, and everyday objects into fragrance products built around two signature scents: “Sayu-ui Meok” and “Ongi-ui Baek.”¹

For readers trying to understand what was released, where it fits within museum goods, and how to approach the collection, the key point is simple: this is not a single souvenir item, but a 28-item fragrance line spanning sachets, hand creams, and objects inspired by national museum collections and traditional life culture.¹

What the MU:DS Fragrance Goods Collection Includes

The collaboration is described as “Taylor Scents x MU:DS” and centers on the “National Museum Relic Edition,” a fragrance goods project tied to the National Museum of Korea and the National Folk Museum of Korea. CJ OnStyle announced that the edition was introduced on June 18, 2026, through Taylor Scents and MU:DS, the cultural product brand of the National Museum Cultural Foundation.¹

The product range covers 28 items. Reported formats include fabric sachets, paper sachets, Twelve Zodiac hand creams, and moon jar objects, with the scents applied across the line rather than confined to one product type.¹ That structure matters for buyers because the choice is not only about fragrance preference; it is also about use case. A sachet is likely positioned as a small everyday scent item, a hand cream as a personal-care item, and the moon jar object as a more display-oriented fragrance good.

The two signature scents define the collection. “Sayu-ui Meok,” developed for the National Museum of Korea, is reported as a woody scent, while “Ongi-ui Baek,” developed for the National Folk Museum of Korea, is reported as a musk scent.² In practical terms, shoppers can treat the line as having two main directions: one connected to the quiet, reflective tone of museum relics and another connected to the warmth of folk-life motifs.

How the Two Signature Scents Differ

“Sayu-ui Meok” is the National Museum of Korea scent and appears in products such as moon jar objects and sachets.³ Its visual language draws on museum collection motifs including moon jars, celadon, white porcelain, mother-of-pearl craft objects, and “Irworobongdo,” the sun, moon, and five peaks screen.³ KPI News also reported that the moon jar object takes its motif from a white porcelain moon jar, while fabric sachets reflect designs from collection items such as a white porcelain blue-and-white peony jar.⁴

“Ongi-ui Baek” is the National Folk Museum of Korea scent. It is used in goods that reinterpret traditional living-culture materials, including gat, lucky pouches, and beoseon socks, through sachets and Twelve Zodiac hand creams.³ If “Sayu-ui Meok” is the more museum-object-centered side of the release, “Ongi-ui Baek” is the line that leans more directly into everyday traditional culture.

The project also clarifies why fragrance became the chosen medium. Etoday reported that the collaboration was planned to expand MU:DS items into the fragrance category and to let people experience the mood of museum records, narratives, and cultural heritage through scent.⁵ Chung Yong-seok, president of the National Museum Cultural Foundation, described it as an attempt to extend “the emotion and lingering impression felt at the museum” into daily life through the sense of smell.¹

That quote is useful because it explains the buyer expectation: these goods are framed less as simple character merchandise and more as lifestyle objects carrying museum-associated memory. The products are still practical goods, but their concept depends on the connection between cultural heritage, design motifs, and scent.

Where to Find the Collection and What to Check First

The collection is sold through CJ OnStyle, the shops at the National Museum of Korea and the National Folk Museum of Korea, and the Bukchon pop-up store of Today’s House.¹ Korea Economic Daily reported the same sales channels while noting the 28-item line and the two representative museum scents.²

Before choosing where to buy, check which format you want. The source material confirms several product categories but does not provide a complete item-by-item price list, stock status, or individual scent notes beyond the woody and musk descriptions. If a shopper is deciding between products, the safest source-backed comparison is therefore by product format, museum association, and visual motif, not by detailed perfume pyramid.

The official CJ OnStyle Facebook video post also announced a launch special price period from June 18 to June 21, 2026.⁶ Because the current date is June 22, 2026, that stated launch special period has already ended. Readers checking availability after that date should not assume the launch discount still applies unless the seller separately displays an active offer.

The broader retail point is that the line sits at the intersection of museum shops, online commerce, and a temporary lifestyle pop-up. For practical planning, online buyers would start with CJ OnStyle, while in-person museum visitors would check the National Museum of Korea or National Folk Museum of Korea shops. Those specifically visiting Bukchon could look for the Today’s House pop-up store, based on the sales channels named in the launch information.¹
