SMELLING great doesn’t necessarily mean splashing out on a designer perfume with a huge price tag, according to one fragrance fanatic.
Zara have a range of perfect dupes for plenty of boujee colognes – and the best bit is, most are only around a quarter of the price.

Instagram user @soincheveux.visage, who regularly posts clips reviewing her favourite beauty staples, recently shared her five favourite Zara scents, and the high-end spray that each is inspired by.
Her first shout out went to the £18 Nude Bouquet, a perfect swap for Dior’s £60 Miss Dior Blooming Bouquet.
Both fragrances have notes of cherry, peony and vanilla, perfect for people drawn to sweet, floral, feminine smells.
Next up is Zara’s Lightly Bloom, which is apparently a dead ringer for the iconic Dior staple Miss Dior.
Zara’s £18 version is just a quarter of the price of the £68 designer offering, and has a similar mix of floral and musky elements.
Those who love Gucci’s summery Flora scent should try the high-street brand’s Cashmere Rose.
Zara’s peachy perfume is only a quarter of the price, and has a similar vibrant and fresh feel.
Her fourth suggestion is a dupe of Marc Jacobs’s popular Daisy scent, which normally sells for around £40.
For just half the price, Zara’s Apple Juice is similarly flora and fruity, with notes of rose, jasmine violet and peony.
A final stellar switch is Zara’s Violet Blossom, which is a dead on dupe of Mugler’s famous Alien perfume.
The high-street copy has similar notes of magnolia, apple and vanilla – and amazingly, it costs just £15 compared to the £100 price tag on Alien.
The bargain scents are available to buy online or in Zara stores, for those looking to save a bit of cash while still spelling lush.
Remember that the cheaper versions sometimes have a little less staying power – so it might be worth popping it in your bag for a little midday touch up.
And while you’re visiting, you might want to also nab the blazer that one fashionista recently described as her “best ever Zara purchase”.
A barely-there blush blazer has been taking the internet by storm, after savvy shoppers found it had been discounted down from £50 to £10 in certain stores.
