The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2014, Zara Seoul by Zara is a fragrance that captures the essence of a coastal city. The composition opens with a bright citrus-aromatic accord that evokes the freshness and energy of salty sea breezes. Lavender adds a soothing touch to the aromatic mix, while the fresh spicy notes bring an invigorating warmth. As it settles into its base of amber and aquatic accords, Zara Seoul maintains a crispness that feels both refreshing and grounding.

How to wear it

One or two sprays is sufficient — the citrus and aromatic top notes are bright but fade within a couple hours. The amber base keeps it warm and comforting for the rest of the day, making it ideal for morning to evening wear.
