A BEAUTY enthusiast has shared her honest thoughts on the newest perfumes to land in Zara, including a £12 dupe for Black Opium.
Zara – home to budget-friendly fashion, trendy home decor and now, also perfume dupes that are said to be copies of posh designer scents.
According to one shopper, only known as @theperfumelife on TikTok, the high street retailer offers a wide range of affordable perfumes that ''smell a lot like some of your favourite niche and designer perfumes''.
One of her top finds, for instance, was Red Temptation, which scans for £22.99.
But don't let the low price fool you – the beautiful saffron and feminine jasmine mix emulates the cult favourite Baccarat Rouge 540.
Unlike the version at Zara, the real deal will set you back by an eye-watering £235 for a 70ml bottle.

Meanwhile, if you're after a more floral number, the beauty enthusiast advised to check out Zara's Rose Gourmand.
The £22.99 aroma smells to @theperfumelife a lot like Intense Cafe by Montale Paris and the formula boasts notes of warming vanilla, as well as a blend of musky amber.
On the lookout for the perfect dupe of the viral YSL Libre? Then Zara also have the ultimate smell-alike of the posh £92 aroma – their Golden Decade perfume.
''It's very vanilla heavy,'' the shopper added in the video, before revealing her next favourite scent – Gardenia.
