Looking for a Zara perfume to tide me over till my birthday.
There are so many!
I’d like either a fresh, floral fragrance or a sweet gourmand fragrance.
Needs to have longevity.

I have Perpetual Oud and Violet Blossom, and I'm super impressed with the longevity of both

Britpopbaby · 02/04/2025 07:22

Apple Juice

My favourite is Elegantly Tokyo.

Red temptation- it’s the baccarat rouge dupe and it is in perpetual beast mode. I loathe it, but that stuff clings on like a needy ex boyfriend.

There are soooo many Zara Perfumes!!
I always spray into my skin, not a piece of card, so it gets tricky!
DS2 wears By the Fireplace, he left for school almost an hour ago and I can still smell it. Guessing Zara won’t have anything with the same longevity.

Fashionably London! I’ve had so many lovely comments about it.

ConcernedFriendgbvc56 · 02/04/2025 21:37

The new chocolate ones are a lovely gourmand I’ve had lots of compliments on

IDontHateRainbows · 02/04/2025 21:39

Zara immortal vanilla is a lovely vanilla for summer

He wears it to school?

Another vote for Fashionably London.
though I do like Apple Juice and Golden Decade.

🤣🤣He is 18. Were you imagining a 9 yo trotting off to primary school swathed in Maison Margiela?

Well yes.. but that 9 year old would ROCK! Good choice of brand, too

I’ve seen a lot of love for Fashionably London online so will definitely try this one and Immortal Vanilla and Apple Juice (dupe for Chanel Chance?) also sound great.

And why not? He has style!!!!!!

getahhtmapub · 03/04/2025 19:53

Is there a list of the Zara fragrances and their dupes?

Hattysbackpack · 03/04/2025 19:55

I wear Apple Juice every day which is supposed to be a dupe of Chanel Chance. It’s lovely and about a tenth of the price, don’t think it has a massive amount of staying power though.

boredwfh · 03/04/2025 20:09

Another vote for fashionably London! I smelled it on a lady in M&S & had to ask her what she was wearing! I immediately went and bought it!

Apollobinds · 03/04/2025 20:55

Fields at nightfall. It’s a dupe of zadig & Voltaire ‘this is her’. I get comments every time I wear it.

This is my favourite too. It lasts ages and I've got lots of compliments.

I got Fashionably London.
Its not as strong as I’d like but its still nice.

I wear Zara’s Majestic Silver, which I believe is supposed to be similar to Le Labo’s Santal 33. It’s quite strong and lasts quite well. I get lots of compliments on it.
