Sotoor SEEN

Scent Breakdown

Sotoor Seen aims for Gucci Eau de Parfum, and gets reasonably close, maybe 88%. The opening is a powdery orange blossom and heliotrope – pleasant, but slightly more synthetic than the real deal. The heart introduces that iris and spice; I get the caraway, though it's dialed down here. The thyme is barely present. Where it deviates most is in the base. The leather is smoother, less animalic, and the vanilla is more prominent, sweeter. It lacks the depth and complexity of the Gucci. It's a simplified, sweeter take.

The Verdict

Sotoor Seen is a good, affordable option if you like the general idea of Gucci Eau de Parfum but don't want to pay designer prices. It scratches the itch. It's not a perfect replica, lacking the nuanced depth of the original, and has a noticeable synthetic edge. But difference - we're talking potentially 10x cheaper - it's a worthwhile compromise. If you're on a budget, or simply want a daily wear fragrance that smells similar, give this one a shot. Just don't expect niche quality.

Performance Reality Check

Longevity is decent, I get about 5-6 hours on skin. Projection is moderate for the first hour, then settles closer to the skin. It won’t fill a room. that's acceptable. It performs like a budget fragrance should.
