Most of Zara perfumes never lasts on me but this one is difference. If you are living in a hot weather area and want something that refreshes everyone around you without breaking your bank – this is the one.
Here is my personal scores.
Scent : 7.5 / 10 – Good but nothing unique or special
Longevity : 8 / 10 – Can lasts for more than 8 hours on my skin
Sillage : 7 / 10 – Excellent projection for the first hour, good projection for the next 3 hours before come to skin scent.
Price : 10 / 10 – Worth more than itself price.
Safe Blind Buy : 8 / 10 – You won’t regret this even you may not like it much.
Compliments : 9 / 10 – Most women I encountered do like this one.

On my skin this is very long lasting don’t proyect to many is close to the skin but the longevity is relly good.
trackerplusru – :
This is basically invictus without any of the spices. That fruit note overpowers everything, and it smells more like melon than tangerine to me. Aromatic and playful, not sexy. Longevity is moderate, sillage is good only for the first hour

Its fresh light good for summer
U can smell the tangarine so intense at first spraying
Then turns powdery scent
Not masculine
A lil bit aquatic
But I’m not really into it
Longevity around 5 hrs
Sillage just moderate

Similar to invictus, but not a clone. It`s a really pleasant
scent with (unfortunatelly) poor performance (1h of projection and 2-3 hours of longevity, on my skin). I did a side by side comparison with the Zara men blue spirit, and the BS killed it. If you like the seoul, try the w/end till 8pm. This one has even better performance then blue spirit, and has some similarities to seoul.
Seoul summer is also a really pleasant scent, but too weak to be recommended.
Poker Face – :
There is the new Zara Seoul Summer 2 piece bottle very cheap and lasts as long. I guess a newly repackaged version of this.

There are two other versions of Zara Seoul 532-8 Sinsa Dong Gangnam-Gu; Seoul Winter and Seoul Summer. The winter version appeared in 2017 as an intense version with top note “Tangerine”, middle “apple”, and bottom “woody” as listed on the back of the box. It was supplied with very limited stock quantities and was sold out in a month. The summer version appeared in 2018 as a slightly lighter version with listed notes “Fougere Marine”, “Mandarin, Green/Fruity”, “Apple, Orange Flower”, and “Woody, Amber”. Seoul 532-8 Sinsa Dong Gangnam-Gu is offered in three sets; a set with San Fransisco 250 Post Street, a set with Seoul Summer, and a set with Lisboa Colombo Aventida Do Colegio Militar.

As many have mentioned before, there are quite big similarities to Invictus for sure. But I would say it’s a lot weaker (performance) than Invictus and dies quite fast on my skin. In my opinion Zara Man Blue Spirit has better longevity and will still cary that Invictus vibe for you. But still Seoul 532-8 is a nice one, you just have to overspray and refresh every second hour.
Edit: i woud say it is really, really close to Invictus with a more powdery drydown.

Another good find in Zara! Completely agree with the “citrusy Nautica Voyage” comment. spot-on.. a nice combination of citrus and aquatic notes. definitely a summer go to…Do wish it had Voyage’s longevity. Only lasts about four hours on me, but, for the price, can’t complain. a good value fragrance.
Update: Wore this on a hot day in South Florida and it really came alive. Smells great and longevity was actually not bad! definitely longer than the aforementioned four hours. A winner for the summer.

This smells like Tangerine. Period. Like from start to end. Extremely linear. Stays for some hours 2-3 and then dissappears. The thing that stops me from hating this is that it’s tangerine smells bittery sweet sexy and fresh. So i use it every now and then. Otherwise it is a stupid scent.
When to wear: I don’t see myself wearing it out. It is too linear, sharp and synthetic to me for that. I wear it casually in evenings. I’d wear this probably after gym.
Valeriya – :
I liken this to a citrusy Nautica Voyage. The opening, to a slight degree, smells synthetic, but after the first few minutes the fragrance becomes beautifully fresh – radiating prominent fruity citrus with a definite aquatic touch. By the time it reaches the skin scent level, I get hints of lavender and amber.
It projects pretty well for 3 or so hours and I can smell it around me (without having to stick my nose into my skin) for 8+ hours. In general, I’d call the performance decent, but considering the price tag, it goes into exceptional territory.
Edit:
So I went and checked out Invictus today to see how similar (or dissimilar) these two are. I was actually quite surprised at the level of similarity – the only noticeable differentiating factor was that there’s a stronger aqueous presence in Invictus, whereas this is stronger on the citrus sweetness. If I had to put a number on it, I’d say they’re around 85% similar.

>> has anybody seen the Winter version of this?
@jpon91, I’ve seen it. The sales manager said it was exactly the same juice as in the bottle without the ‘Winter’ marker. I couldn’t believe, so I’ve checked it and he was right. Bad marketing.
Kumische – :
Excellent fragrance: fresh, aquatic, floral (lavender) and slightly fruity (citrusy). Natural. Original. Good quality. Very very good smelling. One of the best scents I own for hot weather. Perfect for Summer but so fresh and clean that you can actually wear it all over the year.
Cons: moderate projection and moderate to weak longevity.
Like all Zara fragrances, a real bargain.
I love it.
Highly recommended if you don’t mind to re-apply.

As some people have noted here, there’s a strong similarity to Invictus. I wouldn’t go so far as to call it a clone, however. The open isn’t as cloyingly sweet as Invictus, and there’s no florals or woods in the drydown. If you like Invictus, you might like this as it’s similar. If you don’t like Invictus (like me), you’ll like this because it’s not exactly the same.
The open is a lovely mix of citrus and aquatics, with just a hint of lavender. I don’t get much nutmeg, but that may just be me. This settles into a lovely warm amber accord that sustains into the drydown.
Nothing that’s going to knock your socks off, but a nice well-balanced fragrance that I feel is much superior to Invictus. Also, cheap as chips! I paid under USD 20 for a 100 ml bottle, at that price it’s very good value.
Performance is average, I get around 4 hours on my skin with moderate sillage.

I got an extremely heavy dose of honeydew melon of it! It reminds me a lot of Invictus simply a much fresher version of Invictus with the heavy honeydew melon and of course without the longevity.
Du4ka – :
I just bought the summer version of this one which is in my opinion a touch better than this one – still very similar to blue spirit of Zara
peselyday – :
Great fragrance from zara. Got it on sale and it smells amazing. I love it!
Yes it does smell simmilar to Invictus but definitely different smell. If you ask me i would prefer this one over Invictus since everybody wears Invictus and this fragrance even though having similar pyramid it still smells unique. For the price it is offered it has long lasting longevity and satisfactory sillage. I get compliments wearing it all the time.
TekFieksted – :
I agree this smells almost identical to invictus opening just not as strong as invictus
atotowomIsose – :
Invictus clone. Top notes of invictus are totally there. Doesn’t develop much but it stays on for 6 hours and projects decent 2. Not bad at all, veeeery close to invictus, almost identical, just this is a bit powdery. Anyone wanting to try invictus before buying, get this. A lot of girls went, mmmm with this one.
