I’m a beauty pro – 7 buys you ALWAYS need to whip off the shelves in Zara when you see them – they’ll save you HUNDREDS | The Sun
April 15, 2023FINDING that signature scent that will transform your entire look is hard enough, but forking out hundreds for it is even tougher on you and your bank account.
Luckily, one TikTok user, @mariajoynson, has found dupes for seven signature perfumes from brands like Yves Saint Laurent and Paco Rabanne.
Costing a fraction of the price of the original, Maria said she would be rushing down to Zara to “smell all these dupes”.
“So recently I did a video about how the Zara Red Temptation (£23) perfume was a perfect dupe for Maison Francis Kurkdjian’s Baccarat Rouge 540 (£235) – except nowhere near as expensive,” she started her video off.
“I have since learned that Zara basically have dupes for every perfume on the market. I’m going to list some of my favourites…” [sic]
Starting with Zara’s Golden Decade, which retails for £23, she explained that this is meant to be a dupe for Yves Saint Laurent’s Libre Eau De Parfum, which is over three times the price at £92.

“Zara Gardenia at £17.99 is a dupe for one of my all time faves,” she went on while moving back to show off the YSL Black Opium label, which also retails for £92.
“We’ve also got a dupe for Paco Rabanne Lady Million in this Woman Gold,” she continued. While Paco Rabanne’s perfume sells for £90, Zara’s scent is just £13.
Maria then moved on to Zara’s Red Vanilla perfume, which is a mere £18, as she explained it’s a dupe for her “all time summer perfume” – Lancôme’s La Vie Est Belle Eau De Parfum, which retails at £92.
“Finally, Zara Oriental is a dupe for Flowerbomb by Viktor and Rolf,” she said, noting that the price difference is £18 to £125.

“I’ve only shared a handful of these, I’m just going by the research and the comments that I’ve had,” she continued. “But I’m definitely going to Zara to spray literally every single one of these on me.”
Viewers were quick to share their thoughts on her list of Zara dupes as one person argued they “last 15min literally”. [sic]
Maria replied: “I’ve sprayed red temptation a few times and it been on my clothes for AGES after but definitely you do get a higher quality with the real thing”. [sic]
Another said: “Wait. I have both lancome and Red Vanilla but gave the Lancôme to my mum because the scent is too much for me. Kept the red vanilla cause I love it h”. [sic]
“Zara is probably a bit of a lighter version,” Maria responded.
A third raved over another one of Zara’s dupes as they shared: “The golden decade one smells soooo gorgeous & lasts forever on me too”. [sic]
“Lightly Bloom is a dupe for Miss Dior,” a fourth said, furthering Zara’s dupe list.
A fifth followed their lead as they shared: “try cherry smoothie it’s a dupe for Tom ford red cherry,” [sic] and a sixth wrote: “Zara deep garden is a dupe for good girl too!” [sic]
Meanwhile, others suggested looking at other brands, including Mango and M&S as one person shared: “yes, but have you tried Mango perfumes? More lasting”.
