I’m a beauty fan and I’ve found the best perfume dupe ever – it’s £207 cheaper than the posh version and smells the same
A BEAUTY fan has revealed that she has found the best perfume dupe ever.
So if you want to smell fresh, but are on a budget, luckily for you, you’ve come to the right place.
Lisa Jemide claimed that she has found a £22.99 perfume from Zara that smells “exactly the same” to posh designer scent Parfums De Marly, in the scent Oriana.
But if the eye-watering price of £230 for some scented spray sends shivers down your spine, then you’ll need to check out Zara’s affordable alternative.
Showing off her dupe perfume on social media, which will save you a staggering £207, Lisa said: “Perfume dupe PSA.
“The Zara dupe only retails for £22.
“The actual perfume is the Parfums De Marly, and this is in the scent Oriana.
“I picked it up for about $200 [£160].
“It has notes of bergamot and marshmallow. It’s so delicious and so sweet.
“This particular fragrance kind of reminded me of the Love Don’t be Shy by Kilian – extremely sweet, kind of eat me up kind of fragrance.
“I was in Zara the other day. I just happened to stumble across this fragrance and this is called Velvet Shadow.
“These two smell exactly the same. This Zara scent has very similar notes.
“It’s got bergamot, it’s got marshmallow as well, and it’s got jasmine.
“They truly smell exactly the same. I am not joking with you guys.”
Lisa then advised shoppers: “Run down to your nearest Zara and smell this fragrance.
“I wore this the other day. The person I was with was like ‘oh, my God, you smell good.’
“Most definitely recommend.”
The TikTok clip, which was posted under the username @lisajemide, has clearly impressed many, as it has quickly amassed 31,700 views.
Social media users were stunned at the affordable dupe and were eager to share their thoughts in the comments.
One person said: “The smell is so gorgeous! Such a girly scent.”
Another added: “Added to bag cause the original is EXPENSIVE.”
A third commented: “Running to Zara.”
Meanwhile, another shopper wrote: “Bought it ASAP! You didn’t lie.”
Whilst someone else claimed: “It is a gooood dupe!”
