The brand’s perfumes have been around for a while now, but they’ve been getting more attention lately thanks to TikTok. In fact, videos about the range have 44.7 million views at the time of writing. But why?

However many Zara’s perfumes have caught the attention of a few beauty aficionados lately as they’re said to be incredibly similar to designer scents.
Not only that, but some Zara scents released last year were also made in collaboration with world-renowned perfumer Jo Malone.
