I’m a perfume expert and Zara has a dupe for pretty much every popular scent – here’s what I recommend
A PERFUME expert has broken down exactly what designer scents Zara’s fragrances are dupes for.
The content creator behind Somali Girls Smell Good claimed that the Spanish fashion retailer “has a dupe for pretty much any perfume”.
She revealed the best bottles to nab and exactly which designer fragrances they’re dupes for in a TikTok video.
The first perfume she recommended was Sublime Epoque, which smells like Giorgio Armani My Way.
The scent “pays tribute to a sublime and radiant femininity”, according to Zara bosses.
They said: “At the heart, a scintillating floral bouquet featuring jasmine, tuberose and orange blossom is brightened up in contact with the natural facets of bergamot.
“Vanilla and cedar mingle to form a warm and addictive background.”
For 90ml of the designer version, you’d pay £125 compared to £22.99 for Zara’s 80ml dupe.
The perfume expert also recommended Golden Decade, which is a dupe for Yves Saint Laurent’s Libre Intense.
Both have notes of jasmine, lavender and orange blossom but Zara’s version costs £22.99 compared to the luxury price tag of £130.
There’s a dupe for a viral scent in the high street store, too.
Zara’s Red Temptation is a dupe for Maison Francis Kurkdjian Baccarat Rouge 540 – which will set you back £235 a pop.
The dupe costs just £22.99 and has 10ml more perfume in the bottle.
The next product the perfume expert recommended is Zara’s Violet Blossom scent which costs £12.99 for 90ml of product.
A blurb on the perfume reads: “A lightning bolt that crosses a cloud of freshness, made up of delicate notes of magnolia, apple and madonna lily.
“The warmth of vanilla, together with the sweetness of almond, lend comfort and voluptuousness to the fragrance.”
It is a dupe for Thierry Mugler’s Alien which costs £125 for the same amount of perfume.
Zara’s smaller perfume Cherry Smoothie costs £11.99 and is a dupe for Tom Ford’s £280 Lost Cherry, according to the expert.
Somali Girls Smell Good’s video has racked up an impressive 1.4 million views, with almost 400 people taking to the comments to praise and validate the suggestions.
