14 Zara Perfume Dupes That Smell Like Designer Fragrances

According to TikTok, Golden Decade is a very close match for YSL’s Libre, and both include jasmine, orange blossom, and lavender notes. YSL’s fragrance has better staying power, but Zara’s version is a very affordable option if you know you like the scent already.

A perfume I always get complimented on is Zara’s Ebony Wood, and it smells so similar to Wood Sage & Sea Salt by Jo Malone London. In fact, Ebony Wood is part of Zara’s collection with Jo Malone CBE herself, so you know it’s going to be good. I would say that the Zara perfume is a little richer, while the Jo Malone scent has fresher notes of sea salt and sage, which is why I like to wear the Jo Malone London fragrance in the day and layer with Ebony Wood for the evening.

Everyone loves Le Labo’s Santal 33, but the price tag? Not so much. This smooth sandalwood scent has become hugely popular—almost synonymous with some parts of New York, in fact. Energetically New York smells very, very similar with notes of sandalwood, jasmine, and cardamom.

If you love Prada’s Paradoxe, then you’ll really like Zara’s Vibrant Caramel, which smells very similar. Like Prada’s, this one is sweet and good enough to eat with a citrus opening that dries down into an intoxicating vanilla and praline base. It’s a very close match for Prada’s now-iconic scent.

According to the internet, Zara’s Sublime Époque is an exact dupe for Armani’s popular fragrance My Way. Both perfumes contain notes of sweet jasmine and floral tuberose with warm vanilla and cedar at the base. Zara’s perfume also contains hints of orange blossom for a fresh, citrusy element.

Possibly one of the best dupes I have ever come across is Zara’s Red Zara Temptation. This fragrance smells so much like the famous Baccarat Rouge 540 with notes of creamy praline, musky amber, and sensual jasmine. I’m not lying when I say I always get complimented on this scent. It’s worth noting that the Zara one doesn’t last as long, but the slim bottle means that it’s easy to throw in your bag to refresh throughout the day.

Daisy by Marc Jacobs was one of the first perfumes I ever owned, and smelling Apple Juice from Zara has me feeling so nostalgic. It’s just as floral and fruity and has notes of apple, orange, and grapefruit combined with rose, jasmine, violet, and peony. Both fragrances finish with hints of sandalwood, which makes wearing them feel like a warm hug.

To me, there’s nothing quite as delicious as the smell of fresh cherries, and Zara’s alternative to Tom Ford’s Lost Cherry smells almost good enough to eat. Both fragrances combine sweet and sour notes of cherry and plum with creamy, woody almond. Zara’s fragrance also contains a hint of vanilla, giving it a noticeable warmth.

Not only do these both have very similar names, but the Zara one is also a close match for Dior’s much-loved Hypnotic Poison. Zara’s take is drenched with golden vanilla bourbon that envelopes you in a gourmand cloud with apricot blossom and jasmine that lasts really well. Expect compliments whenever you wear this one.

Tom Ford’s Neroli Portofino is a favorite among many. But the price tag? Not so much. A close match is Zara’s Amalfi Sunray, which has very similar notes of zesty bergamot and mandarin with a twist of orange blossom and musk that will transport you straight to the Amalfi coastline.

The whole Who What Wear team loves Parfums de Marly’s Delina scent, and Zara’s Fashionably London perfume has lots of similar notes. They are both rose fragrances with fresh hints of bergamot and warm musk at the base, making both scents perfect all year round.

If you like Carolina Herrera’s Good Girl fragrance, then you will love this Zara perfume, according to TikTok. Both scents feature notes of tuberose and tonka bean for a truly intoxicating finish.

YSL’s Black Opium has been in my collection for as long as I can remember. It’s such an intoxicating scent, and Zara’s Gardenia fragrance contains all of the same key notes such as orange blossom and coffee. What’s not to like?

Giardini di Toscana’s viral Bianco Latte has been all over my For You page. However, I’ve noticed that Cocoa & Latte smells very similar. It’s a delicious gourmand of white chocolate, Chantilly cream, and luxurious suede.
