What wearers say
“Similar to invictus, but not a clone. It`s a really pleasantscent 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.”
“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.”
“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.”
