The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2021 by Zara and crafted by renowned perfumer Jo Malone, Boldly Seoul is an unisex fragrance that captures the essence of its namesake city. The composition opens with a delicate yet bold note of violet, which transitions into the sunny and vibrant heart of mimosa before settling into a musky base that grounds the entire scent in a powdery warmth.

How to wear it

Apply one or two sprays to your pulse points. The fragrance blooms within minutes, so let it settle for a few moments before heading out. It pairs well with light layers in cooler weather.
