Zara Seoul 532-8 Sinsa Dong Gangnam-Gu Summer

Received this one in the mail today. Smells great! Bright, crisp apple in the opening. After about 5 minutes or so the orange blossom picks up. The cedar rounds it out nicely in the dry-down. I got a compliment from my sister-in-law the first day. It projects well for about 30 minutes. Lasts about 2 1/2 hours, but for $10 for 100 mL bottle. I've been reapplying ever 2-3 hours. Lasts longer on clothes. Overall I give it a 6/10. Would be an 8 if it lasted longer. Update on this one. Tried it again and it lasted about 6 hours. The first wear it only lasted around 3 hours. If I can cosistantly get about 6 hours, I give this an 8/10 since I only paid $10 for 100 mL. The scent is awesome. Update: Smelled Invictus for the firs time recently at Saphora. I sprayed it on a tester strip and immediately I smelled Zara Summer Seoul. They were identical to my nose. Glad I didn't cough up the money for a bottle of Invictus when I can have the same scent for $10. No Shame in smelling good for less!

I got what i believe is a fully macerated 2022 bottle and i was expecting bad performance but this is pretty okay for the price. I like that the change from lavender to green, crisp apple is pretty noticeable, i prefer this over the original Seoul. As i said performance is very okay, the literal definition of average. 4-5 hours with 1 hour of pretty decent projection and sillage lasts until about the 2nd hour, then it turns into a pretty sillage that never truly dies down to a super intimate skin scent, we use the word "aterciopelado" in spanish to describe scents that even at skin scent level are still pretty noticeable and this is one of them. What matters to me is that my girlfriend really loves this but hates the original seoul? She gave the regular one a 6/10 but this one an 8.5/10 lmao. Get it!

It's essentially Zara Seoul but with fruity apple and floral note. It’s a nice twist on a tried DNA and would make a great summer/gym scent.

Fruity fresh good summer scent it lacks in performance abt 3h good quality but no projection nor the performance

Fairly pleasant sweet scent. Kids like it, has a good project just after you apply it. I can say I smell it after an hour, but no sure if its there or not. As with the other reviewers here, its a steel the twin pack was selling for pennies. I find that Zara sometimes just puts their perfumes on sale amongst others that aren't, hence I own this one, Half of summer is gone, and so is half the bottle. I use it one week ends on sunny days.

I bought this on a recommendation from a friend. It's a good Invictus clone for sure and it lasts a decent amount of time on my skin. I wish Zara would figure out their sillage problem though, all their scents sit really close to the skin to my nose. Can't beat it for the price ($10) they had it at during their sales.

Batch: 30180 / 2023-01-18 A very linear fragrance that smells the same from start to finish, it's like Invictus but a little sweeter and with apple, the projection and duration is better than most Zara fragrances, good for when you don't know what to wear to go to the supermarket or the gym Rate: 6/10

Pretty much the same as Seoul (and Invictus) but sweet apple instead of lavender. Perhaps slightly weaker too. It’s on clearance now, ridiculously cheap. 100 ml for 5,50€ so I grabbed one just for fun. Can’t go wrong with this one. Notes/description listed on the box: Fougere marine. Mandarin, green/fruity, apple, orange flower, woody Amber. Update: not so weak after all. I got 6-7 hours with 2-3 sprays, and more on clothes. Just be careful with the overspray...! 🌫🌫🌫

It is cheap but save your money & do not buy this one. even if it is cheap it is not worth the money. smells synthetic & performance is terrible. lasts for 15 mins & then it is gone. I mainly use it as an air freshener inside my room. It is a much weaker flanker compared to the original Seoul 532. both are disappointing but this one is much more disappointing. of course, not looking to buy another bottle.

save your money and look for Zara Blue Spirit instead

I really like this scent. Great everyday scent. Fresh, light, unique, and very wearable. Unfortunately the performance seems abysmal. Pretty weak scent, but still smells good. The opening on this is bright, citrusy, and woodsy all at the same time. But after about an hour it dries down into something more generic and not well put together and becomes a skin scent. The ingredients may make some people sick. But I still like it. And for the price it's a good deal.

Basically just a linear synthetic lemon scent. Something a high school girl would wear. Smells almost like a car freshener. If you're looking for quality look elsewhere. If you need something for a dumb reach casual summer scent that you don't mind leans feminine then you might like this maybe, like if you just want something to spray and waste, for 10 bucks it's not bad. Might be a decent cheap gift for someone you don't care about that much haha

Not in the group of the best of Zara ... Better than cousin-brother Seoul, more marine and stronger than Seoul but weak as well, anyway for the pack of 2 bottles price 13 eur is not bad at all. I will use for the gym, pool, beach... Similar to Invictus but x10 cheaper what is an advantage.

This was released in 2019 February and it's a nice piece in the masculine apple-woody genre. It's leaning more towards the sweet side than to the woody side. 10/10 value for the money. Longevity is good from my perspective, 6+ hours. Uniqueness on the other hand is 3/10.

Insanely cheap as f███ right now in the mid-year sale, as it's essentially over 60% off for a 100ml bottle. Smells similar to old Teahupoo (not the ones now) and as what everyone has said here, Invictus Aqua with sweet apple.

Very similar to regular Seoul, but sweeter thanks to apple. Lasting power is similar, sillage a bit smaller, than Seoul. After an hour it's still projecting a bit from the skin.

To much similar to normal Seoul, with minor changes of course. The staying power is similar and weak, slightly less than sillage Seoul. After an hour, it is slightly noticeable.
