Everyone Loves Zara’s Perfumes (And Here’s Why You Will Too)

Luxurious scents without splurging.

Last Updated on January 27, 2023

It’s no secret that everyone here is a big fan of Zara. The brand consistently delivers stylish and chic clothes and accessories, but I honestly believe the Zara perfume collection is seriously underrated.

Zara has been offering high-quality fragrances since 1998. Sure, perfume may not be the first thing you think of when you hear the brand’s name, but when you find out that many of their fragrances can easily be mistaken for luxury scents, you might just change your mind.

If you’re a perfume lover, Zara perfumes should be part of your collection especially given their wide range and the fact that not a single item goes beyond £50.

If you want to add a couple of Zara perfumes to your collection, their inventory of scents is pretty extensive. So here’s everything you need to know about Zara perfumes.

Are Zara fragrances worth it?

Yes! Zara perfumes are affordable, long-lasting and there’s a wide range of scents for every mood and occasion. We’re talking fresh florals, woody scents, hints of vanilla, citrus smells and so much more.

They also collaborate with experienced perfumers, like the Spanish perfume house Puig and even Jo Malone.

Zara perfumes often mimic scents from brands like Yves St Laurent and Dior, with a lot of fans comparing their fragrances to these luxury labels.

Thanks to TikTok, Zara’s perfume has been getting a lot of love and attention. In fact, videos about the range have 188 million views at the time of writing.

Which Zara perfume smells like Chanel?

Zara perfumes have really great dupes for Chanel fragrances.

A popular dupe is the Zara Applejuice, which everyone compares to Chanel’s Chance perfume. The scent may be similar, but the price difference is massive.

Any fragrance from Chanel will set you back over £100, while Zara’s Applejuice is only £12.99 for 90ml.

But if you prefer masculine scents or buying perfume for a man in your life, Zara’s Navy Black is also a pretty good dupe for Chanel’s Bleu De Chanel.

Which Zara perfume smells like Dior?

Zara’s Rose perfume has caught the attention of many beauty aficionados because it’s incredibly similar to Dior’s J’adore. Like Chanel, any Dior fragrance will set you back at least £63 and luckily Zara’s dupe is only £12.99 – so you’re saving £50.

The Rose perfume has a gorgeous floral scent with the freshness of blackcurrant, peony and of course, roses. But if you’re not a fan of this kind of perfume, Zara has another Dior dupe you might like.

Zara Femme is quite similar to Dior’s Hypnotic Poison, but with added warm woody and white musk notes, making it a softer scent. It also includes floral notes mixed with vanilla and tonka beans for a sweet and intense smell.
