Your Ultimate Guide to the Most Popular Zara Perfume Dupes
Fragrance might be the most normalized industry for expensive prices. That's why there's nothing more exciting than receiving a luxurious bottle of perfume. That said, it also means we don't always have the versatility we'd like because we don't have the funds to have Flowerbomb, Black Opium and more on deck at all times.
On the bright side, many brands offer reasonably priced dupes to give you the range you prefer without breaking the bank. If you've got a luxury perfume you love, chances are you can find a similar option in Zara's expansive collection.
Below, discover everything you wanted to know about their perfumes and the scent that inspired them.
Barbie — Kilian Love Don't Be Shy
If you wondered what Barbie would be as a fragrance, it's Kilian's Love Don't Be Shy, if Zara's dupe is any indication. Much like the viral scent previously worn by Rihanna, this perfectly pink dupe also boasts notes of orange and neroli. That sounds like girl power to us, too.

Black Peony — Viktor & Rolf Flowerbomb
Fragrance lovers on the internet name Black Peony one of Zara's best dupes to date. Sadly, they discontinued it, but you can still find it on resale. But what makes it so great? It smells like one of the most classic perfumes, Viktor & Rolf's Flowerbomb, thanks to its floral-heavy mixture.
Cherry Smoothie — Tom Ford Lost Cherry
Cherry is one of the most underrated fragrance notes, and we're glad to see it finally receive its flowers. Any true cherry fan will know one of the best perfumes with the note: Tom Ford's Lost Cherry. At a $255 base point, it's an investment piece, but you can get super similar with Zara's Cherry Smoothie.

Gardenia — YSL Black Opium
With a name like Gardenia, you wouldn't think this Zara perfume would have a robust potpourri of coffee and vanilla, but we embrace it—and the fragrance also makes for a great dupe of YSL's Black Opium. You'll feel the same empowerment, all for less than $20.

Golden Decade — YSL Libre
Speaking of YSL fragrances, Libre might be one of their best, next to Black Opium. Of course, Zara's got a dupe for that, too, with Golden Decade. This complex fragrance of jasmine and orange blossom empowers women to "evoke a sense of freedom and express her emotions to the max," much like the liberating scent of Libre.

Red Temptation — Baccarat Rouge 540
Sure, we understand spending upwards of $100 on a luxury perfume, but more than $300 is a questionable purchase for our wallets, meaning Maison Francis Kurkdjian's iconic Baccarat Rouge 540 probably won't be on our armoire anytime soon. Thankfully, Zara has an affordable dupe in Red Temptation, channeling the same fiery spice from saffron and coriander.

Wonder Rose — Dior J'Adore
J'adore Dior? You'll also love this suitable dupe for the golden fragrance in Zara's Wonder Rose. This perfume is feminine to a T with floral notes of grapefruit blossom alongside white peony and lily. It's a perfect option for an it-girl looking for a charming signature scent.
