Wondering what the Zara x Barbie perfume smells like? I’m here to help. Earlier this week, Zara dropped a collaborative capsule collection with none other than Barbie to celebrate the release of the new movie. From July 21, you can see Greta Gerwig’s Barbie movie with Margot Robbie playing the leading role alongside Ryan Gosling as Ken. After seeing the cast attending premieres all over the world in their Barbie-inspired outfits, we’ve all got Barbie fever so the new Zara x Barbie perfume is a must.
The perfume sold out almost instantly after the release of the collection, but it’s now available on reselling sites like Vinted, eBay and Depop. Before you take the plunge however, you might be wondering what it actually smells like. Is it sickly sweet, or well balanced? Is it a dupe for a designer fragrance like so many Zara perfumes are?
