Music video
The music video for "Perfume" was released on April 17, 2023, alongside the single and album release.[9] It was filmed in Bangkok, Thailand and featured the members dancing in outdoor vibrant sets, as well as the interiors and exteriors of a mansion.[10] The first part of the music video is set in daylight, with the members wearing light-colored outfits, while the latter shows the members in darker and sexier outfits in the nighttime. One section also features them riding in a red 1960 Chevrolet Impala convertible and taking mugshots. The music video also stars a woman, shown to be gifted a set of perfumes by the members.
Critical reception
On NME's midyear list of the best K-pop songs of 2023, Ivana E. Morales wrote that the song "a luxurious, aural throwback to the ’90s, swimming in gorgeous vocals and enthralling transitions, making it an elegant detour" and called it "one of the greatest K-pop gifts from this year so far".[11]
