Zara Golden Decade Eau de Parfum
Zara’s Golden Decade is a very close match for YSL's Libre, which both have jasmine, orange blossom and lavender as their notes. YSL's has better staying power but Zara's version is a very affordable version if you know you like the scent already.
Zara Ebony Wood Eau de Parfum
Zara's Ebony Wood 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. The Zara perfume is a little richer, whilst the Jo Malone scent has fresher notes of sea salt and sage.
Zara Energetically New York Eau de Parfum
Zara’s Energetically New York with sandalwood, jasmine and cardamom smells just like Le Labo Santal 33, but without the price tag! This smooth sandalwood scent has become hugely popular.
Zara Vibrant Caramel Eau de Parfum
If you love Prada Paradoxe, then you'll really like Zara's Vibrant Caramel scent as they smell very similar. Like Prada's it is sweet and good enough to eat with a citrus opening that dries down into an addictive vanilla and praline base.
Zara Sublime Epoque Eau de Parfum
Zara Sublime Epoque is supposedly 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.
Zara Red Temptation Eau de Parfum
Zara's Red Temptation Parfum is probably the best dupe. This fragrance smells so much like the famous Maison Francis’ Baccarat Rouge 540, with notes of creamy praline, musky amber and sensual jasmine. It's worth noting that the Zara one doesn't last as long, but you won’t mind spritzing again throughout the day.
Zara Apple Juice Eau de Parfum
Daisy by Marc Jacob’s and Apple Juice from Zara will have you feeling nostalgic. It's just as floral and fruity, with notes of apple, orange and grapefruit combined with rose, jasmine, violet and peony. Both fragrances finish with hints of sandalwood.
Zara Nude Bouquet Eau de Parfum
Everyone knows and loves the Miss Dior fragrance, and it looks as if Zara has created its own version for a fraction of the price. Nude Bouquet contains sweet cherry, peony and vanilla, making it a perfect option for spring and summer.
Zara Cherry Smoothie Eau de Parfum
There's nothing quite as delicious as the smell of fresh cherries, and Zara's alternative to Tom Ford's iconic fragrance, 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 noticeable warmth.
Zara Waterlily Tea Dress Eau de Parfum
Byredo's Gypsy Water is such a beautiful, fresh scent with notes of lemon, pine needle and sandalwood, and Zara's Waterlily Tea Dress is a great alternative. It is also a super fresh, invigorating fragrance with hints of zesty bergamot and refreshing mint.
Zara Hypnotic Vanilla Eau de Parfum
Not only do these both have very similar names, but Zara’s Hypnotic Vanilla is a very close match for Dior's much-loved Dior 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.
Zara Amalfi Sunray Eau de Parfum
Tom Ford's Neroli Portofino is a favorite among many. 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.
Zara Fashionably London Eau de Parfum
Many love 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 — it’s perfect to wear all year round.
Zara Deep Garden Eau de Parfum
If you like Carolina Herra's Good Girl fragrance, then you will love this Zara’s Deep Garden perfume. Both scents feature notes of tuberose and tonka bean for a truly intoxicating finish.
Zara Fleur D'oranger Eau de Parfum
Part of Jo Malone CBE's collection for Zara, Fleur D'oranger smells very much like Jo Malone London's iconic Orange Blossom cologne. Think soft creamy florals with a twist of clementine — it's the ultimate floral scent.
Zara Gardenia Eau de Parfum
YSL Black Opium is such an intoxicating scent, and Zara's Gardenia fragrance contains all of the same key notes such as orange blossom and coffee. Definitely give this one a try!
Zara Fields at Nightfall Eau de Parfum
Sweet praline, soft jasmine and sumptuous sandalwood take center stage in Zara's Fields at Nightfall. One of Zara's bestselling fragrances, many have likened it to the ever-alluring Zadig & Voltaire This is Her.
Zara Sand Desert at Sunset Eau de Parfum
Zara’s Sand Desert at Sunset is a fragrance with depth thanks to top notes of incense and orange, a heart of cinnamon, tonka bean and chocolate, and base notes of cedar and iris. Keen noses will instantly recognize its similarity to Granado’s Tonka. A little goes a long way, and it sits on the skin beautifully.
Zara Red Vanilla Eau de Parfum
Both Lancôme's La Vie Est Belle and Zara's Red Vanilla are reminiscent of fresh bouquets on a warm spring day. Red Vanilla holds its own against the high-end equivalent, with floral notes of red peony and iris, tangy tangerine, blackcurrant and raspberry, all encased on a bed of creamy vanilla.
Zara Orchid Eau de Parfum
Zara's charming fragrance Orchid is loaded with fresh and floral notes of rose, lily of the valley as well as fruity accords including peach and apple. It is warm and earthy, too, thanks to a rich base of musk, wood and amber. If it smells familiar, that may be because many have likened it to Victoria's Secret Bombshell.
Zara Violet Blossom Eau de Parfum
Zara’s Violet Blossom smells astonishingly similar to the Mugler Alien perfume. Both perfumes have a powerful floral scent and smell super feminine. The only significant difference is that the Zara perfume doesn't last as long, however given the price difference, you won’t mind reapplying.
Zara Oriental Eau de Parfum
The Zara Oriental Perfume is a crazy-good of a dupe for the super-indulgent Viktor&Rolf’s Flowerbomb Perfume. Both unique and intense fragrances will grab attention and are very similar in scent.
Zara’s Vetiver Pamplemousse Eau de Parfum
Zara doesn't just offer excellent perfume alternatives for women. The brand has also ventured into men's scents too. For the guys, Zara’s Vetiver Pamplemousse fragrance matches the fresh yet deep notes of Tom Ford's Grey Vetiver, which starts with a strong bright citrus blend of grapefruit and lemon before fading to a woody vetiver base.
Many of these are going to be close, but maybe not exact. In the end, it’s going to be a personal preference. It still might be worth the while to check them out and see what you think as it could save you some major money in the long run.
