10 Zara Perfumes That Are Great Dupes to Designer Perfumes

If you enjoy trying out new scents without breaking the bank, Zara’s collection of affordable perfumes is worth considering.

A lot of these fragrances are incredibly similar to popular designer perfumes, but at a much lower cost.

Whether you’re new to the world of fragrances or have been eyeing a specific designer perfume for a while, Zara’s more budget-friendly options can help you ease into it.

Not only that, Zara’s perfumes are also known for their long-lasting scent, giving you great value for your money!

Zara Gardenia (Dupe For: Yves Saint Laurent Black Opium)

Zara’s Gardenia is a delightful mix of coffee and fruit cake, much like Yves Saint Laurent’s Black Opium.

With shared notes of coffee, orange blossom, and vanilla, these fragrances stand out from other perfumes in the gourmand category.

For a cozy and balanced scent that combines sweetness and spice, Gardenia is a great choice to explore alongside Black Opium.

Zara Gardenia retails from RM49.90 and is available on zara.com.

Yves Saint Laurent Black Opium retails from RM445 and is available on Sephora.

Zara Cherry Smoothie (Dupe For: Tom Ford Lost Cherry)

Both fragrances are dominated by cherry, plum, and almond notes, but Zara’s Cherry Smoothie includes an additional touch of vanilla.

While Zara’s scent is reminiscent of a cherry smoothie, Tom Ford’s Lost Cherry is more like a fizzy cherry cider.

The Cherry Smoothie is creamier and more playful, making it a great daytime option compared to the more expensive Lost Cherry.

Zara Cherry Smoothie retails from RM69.90 and will be available on zara.com.

Tom Ford Lost Cherry retails from RM1110 and is available on Sephora.

Zara Apple Juice (Dupe For: Chanel Chance Eau Tendre and Marc Jacobs Daisy)

Zara’s AppleJuice is like the younger, playful sibling of Chanel’s Chance Eau Tendre.

While they both contain grapefruit, jasmine, and musk notes, AppleJuice adds a refreshing twist with its apple, orange, and peony elements.

This fragrance is a revitalizing and light floral-fruity blend, with a touch of warm sandalwood to balance out its vibrant scent.

If you’re familiar with floral-fruity fragrances, you might notice similarities between AppleJuice and Marc Jacobs’ Daisy. Both fragrances exude a soft and delicate aura, perfect for the quintessential clean girl.

What sets Lightly Bloom apart is its infusion of an aquatic note, which adds a unique and invigorating touch to the beloved Love Story.
