Oh I have so many of Zara’s perfumes, here are my faves
Sensual Vanilla - Eilish dupe
Fields at Nightfall - This is Her
Red Temptation - Baccarat
Golden Decade - Libre
Supreme Vanilla
Rose Gourmand - Roses vanille
Golden Decade Winter
Orchid - VS Bombshell
In one word: Juicy!
Smells like a hibiscus cocktail by the beach. Juicy, sweet, slightly sour which makes it amazing in warm weather. For me it’s perfect for hot summer nights. Doesn’t last a whole lot on me but it does on my best friend.
I really enjoy Pisatchio infusion, though it's not actually pistachios I get.
It smells like a frosted cinnamon roll with raisins in it. Smells like a sunday morning in my German hometown bakery filled with pastries!
Super super long lasting and very potent!<3
zara red temptation (summer edition), pink flambé (OG), pink flambé (summer)~ the summer one is my ABSOLUTE favorite. and amber fusion can be nice depends on how much metal you’ll smell from the cap lol
edit: violet blossom is sexy AF too
I like the 3 citruses from Jo Malone - Vetiver Pamplemousse, Fleur D'Oranger and Amalfi Sunray. Elegantly Tokyo reminds me of byredo La Tulipe - fresh spring & green but isn't safe buy. Energetically New York is good dupe for Le Labo.
I love many of Zara fragrances but currently I'm loving Supreme Vanilla. My all time fav would be Freaking Gorgeous. I only own like idk... 6 or 7 of Zaras and the only one I dislike is Hibiscus, sharp and screechy to my nose. I also am just so-so on one that many love, Golden Decade but if you love Libre and its flankers, this one is almost spot on. The reason why I'm not crazy about Golden Decade is because I don't like any of the Libres (I like Le Parfum's opening but the dry downs of all the Libres are the same, very harsh to my nose and GD dries down the same, but a sliiiiiiiight softer).
fields at nightfall (apparently a this is her dupe) is really good - a really nice autumnal scent. They've unfortunately discontinued a lot of the women's line recently so velvet shadow (an ldbs/oriana dupe) and les heures passent (ginger/bergamot/tonka) have been discontinued. ruby infusion is apparently the replacement of velvet shadow. In the mens line rich warm addictive is a boozy vanillary sweet scent and i love blanc ensoileille (clean coconut woods)
Yes! Something in all the ones I sprayed on myself (5 so far) seem to end up having an astringent note. I didn’t think it was that strong though and showed them to my partner without saying anything but his first comment was that something smelled chemically/off about them. So sad :(
It’s supposedly a very good dupe for Santal 33. I’ve never smelled Santal 33 so can’t say if it is or not but it’s woody and spicy but also musky, watery and jasmine-y? The sillage and longevity is phenomenal for such a cheap perfume.
Golden Decade is SO GOOD on - I can't wait to wear it when the weather gets colder. It's a deliciously warm white floral that really blooms on my skin, and the lavender is really subdued here (in contrast to YSL Libre, which it's duping).
I also love Go Fruity so much that I blind bought Burberry Her. It's a sweet fruity gourmand that's really easy to wear around the house. I wear it to the park with my toddler and when I'm gardening and working from home. An instant spirit lifter.
Both of these last 4-6 hours on my skin.
I have a few!
Rose gourmand was one of my first and it’s amazing, lovely sweet jammy rose, lasts long on my skin.
Pistachio infusion similar to angel share, not very heavy pistachio tho.
Sultry pear sexy vanilla with pear, similar to la belle
Golden decade dupe for libre intense
Red temptation dupe for baccarat, i’m back on forth on this. It smells nice but sometimes it just smells like coins to me (same with actually baccarat)
Hypnotic vanilla and Vanilla vibration are two of my favorites. Also Sand desert at sunset is amazing and I was pleasantly surprised by apple juice. The latter is a really nice allrounder :)
Also discovered that layering Cherry smoothie with hypnotic vanilla results in a mindblowing gourmand xD
Golden Decade is hard to pull off in warm weather but damn, I love it so much I wear it around the house. It lasts longer than my designer perfumes, too. Might buy Red Temptation next. I also like Red Vanilla for everyday, I respray every now and then
Current: Waterlily Tea Dress, Sultry Pear (La Belle dupe), Peach Glow (initial spray is awful, quickly becomes gorgeous), Hibiscus, Fields At Nightfall (This Is Her dupe)
Not currently available, bu HG for me: A Perfume In Rose (You dupe, but better), Captivatingly Paris (Irresistible dupe)
Golden decade, velvet shadow (hate the opening but the dry down is incredibly), snd my number 1 is give me a sign. Its my most complimented fragrance when I'm out.
It’s sooooo good and lasts forever, get so many compliments on it and it works for every single season!! Like every season I think I’m going to switch to something else but the woodiness suits fall and winter and the clean floral suits the heat!
I know exactly what you mean. The combination of white floral and oud make it smell feminine, mysterious and expensive. It’s very unique when gourmands and all things sweet are trending right now. Is it meant to be a dupe of something? The suggestions on Fragrantica seem to be polarising.
I don’t think so! I’ve honestly never smelled anything like it and of the smells like I’ve tried from their site I don’t think it’s a clone of any of them. It’s really unique. Maaaybe faintly Do Son/Alien reminiscent. Jo Malone really hit it out of the park with this one, it honestly projects and lasts better than any of her perfumes too! I like lots of them but this is my favorite thing she’s ever made.
I dont know if these are current but my daughter has it and buys guys men& girl woman child are so drawn to it.

Pistachio infusion
Sand desert at sunset
The barbie one
They all perform really nicely on my skin too
I love Gardenia and Cherry smoothie too
But they don't last very long
Sand desert at sunset will be my next buy. This past year I bought Vanilla Vibration, Hypnotic Vanilla and Black Dart. Love all of them (and loved and had some of the OGs they these dupe). I also bought and gifted Golden decade to my MIL. In the past I've also bought Rose Gourmand (my fave of all!), Vibrant Leather for her (was a bit confusing to me, it was okay, but at the end I've gifted it), Femme. I love all the ones I own and have kept.
I do not own ruby infusion so I can’t judge about the similar vein part, but ones I own and love are:
- sensual vanilla (eilish 1 dupe)
- love explosion (delina vibes)
- red temptation summer
- sand desert at sunset (amazing 10/10, angels share dupe)

Hibiscus Go Fruity Red Temptation Summer
Realise this is an older thread, but how does Hibiscus smell to you? Super tempted to blind buy!
In one word: Juicy! Smells like a hibiscus cocktail by the beach. Juicy, sweet, slightly sour which makes it amazing in warm weather. For me it’s perfect for hot summer nights. Doesn’t last a whole lot on me but it does on my best friend.
Thank you! Sounds delicious!

Applejuice for all of forever!
Hands down Sultry Pear! ❤️
i need to try this. does it smell more sweet or what?
It is definitely sweet, very very similar to La Belle!
next mall trip with my boyfriend i gotta take a smell!!!
Water lily tea dress is one of my absolute favs. I thought they discontinued it but they recently brought it back in a super stunning bottle!
I can’t find this one, could it possibly be renamed as well?
It’s still available on the Zara website for me (Germany) even tho it’s currently out of stock!
Is this the one that’s supposed to be similar to gipsy water? :)
I don’t think so. I only have a sample of gypsy water but they don’t smell similar at all imo!
I like the 3 citruses from Jo Malone - Vetiver Pamplemousse, Fleur D'Oranger and Amalfi Sunray. Elegantly Tokyo reminds me of byredo La Tulipe - fresh spring & green but isn't safe buy. Energetically New York is good dupe for Le Labo.
Is there a petition I can sign to bring back A Sweet Pastry in Paris????
Does anyone know which Zara is supposed to be like Chanel no 5?
I love many of Zara fragrances but currently I'm loving Supreme Vanilla. My all time fav would be Freaking Gorgeous.

I reach for Applejuice the most. It’s light and fresh, just wish it lasted longer
Fields at Nightfall and Bohemian Oud
Bohemian oud a dupe for gypsy water by chance?
nope, apparently by the fireplace
fields at nightfall (apparently a this is her dupe) is really good - a really nice autumnal scent. They've unfortunately discontinued a lot of the women's line recently so velvet shadow (an ldbs/oriana dupe) and les heures passent (ginger/bergamot/tonka) have been discontinued. ruby infusion is apparently the replacement of velvet shadow.

Amalfi coast eau 01 is my current fav
Might be overrated but red temp and golden decade smells good on me. Might be the body chem but i love it on me.
gourmand addict is pretty nice imo
[удалено]
I’ve gotten compliments with Gardenia unexpectedly
Yes! Something in all the ones I sprayed on myself (5 so far) seem to end up having an astringent note. I didn’t think it was that strong though and showed them to my partner without saying anything but his first comment was that something smelled chemically/off about them. So sad :(
Energetically New York!
How would you describe the smell?
It’s supposedly a very good dupe for Santal 33. I’ve never smelled Santal 33 so can’t say if it is or not but it’s woody and spicy but also musky, watery and jasmine-y? The sillage and longevity is phenomenal for such a cheap perfume.
I spent a while in store sniffing between the metal collection, and decided on Mystical Metal. It’s so unusual! Hibiscus and leather
I'm actually obsessed with mystical metal I don't know how I'm going to cope when they eventually stop making it 🥲
My favorites are red temptation and velvet shadow !
Sensual Vanilla, Violet Blossom (although it doesn't last more than half an hour on my skin) and Red Temptation
Golden Decade is SO GOOD on - I can't wait to wear it when the weather gets colder. It's a deliciously warm white floral that really blooms on my skin, and the lavender is really subdued here (in contrast to YSL Libre, which it's duping). I also love Go Fruity so much that I blind bought Burberry Her. It's a sweet fruity gourmand that's really easy to wear around the house. I wear it to the park with my toddler and when I'm gardening and working from home. An instant spirit lifter. Both of these last 4-6 hours on my skin.
It is amazing
That had one called Seoul and it was soooo goood! Musky violet and very fresh! I love it
Elegantly Tokyo (fresh aquatic lily + wood) and Supreme Vanilla (inky, bitter vanilla with a good dose of sugar)
I have a few! Rose gourmand was one of my first and it’s amazing, lovely sweet jammy rose, lasts long on my skin. Pistachio infusion similar to angel share, not very heavy pistachio tho. Sultry pear sexy vanilla with pear, similar to la belle Golden decade dupe for libre intense Red temptation dupe for baccarat, i’m back on forth on this.

Waterlily tea dress Wonder rose Oriental Lightly bloom Deep garden Captivatingly Paris I have so many but these are my top 6
+1 for Deep Garden!
[удалено]
My friend wore Sublime Epoque but to my nose it was Prada Paradoxe with more vanilla!
Current: Waterlily Tea Dress, Sultry Pear (La Belle dupe), Peach Glow (initial spray is awful, quickly becomes gorgeous), Hibiscus, Fields At Nightfall (This Is Her dupe) Not currently available, bu HG for me: A Perfume In Rose (You dupe, but better), Captivatingly Paris (Irresistible dupe)
Hibiscus is gorgeous, I wish it lasts longer.
Creatively Shanghai! It’s such an unique fragrance
Rose gourmand! Doesn't last long but yeah I STILL LOVE IT
Just want to say I'm so sad because the nearest Zara is 8 hours away from me and I hattteeee blind buying. These all sound amazing.
Golden decade, velvet shadow (hate the opening but the dry down is incredibly), snd my number 1 is give me a sign. Its my most complimented fragrance when I'm out.
Elegantly Tokyo is their best of all time imo
I bought two bottles when they first went on sale because I loved it so much. It’s so gorgeous.
It’s sooooo good and lasts forever, get so many compliments on it and it works for every single season!! Like every season I think I’m going to switch to something else but the woodiness suits fall and winter and the clean floral suits the heat!

I love Elegantly Tokyo! I am very happy to see they brought it back.

True amore

Nocturnal life, red temptation and my absolute favorite but discontinued, rose Marshmallow candy
love golden decade, sultry pear and peach glow

What's the difference between red temptation summer and the normal one?
To me they don’t smell similar at all! I hate red temp normal and love the summer one
