If you want to smell expensive without shelling out hundreds of pounds, shoppers on TikTok have spotted a near perfect dupe of a £225 perfume in Zara.
The Maison Frances Baccarat Rouge is a much loved fragrance, but its steep price point puts many off of purchasing it. However, Zara’s offering shoppers an alternative that contains the same notes as the Baccarat Rouge. The top notes consist of jasmine and rich saffron, whilst the middle notes include amber and moss, which is extremely similar to the middle note of Amberwood in the Baccarat Rouge.
The Zara perfume, called ‘Red Temptation‘, allows shoppers to smell luxurious, for a tenth of the price.
TikTok users have been raving about the dupe, calling it “their go-to”.
Blake Vicknair, a beauty TikTok creator, spoke about the perfume saying, Red Temptation is “a fragrance that TikTok overhyped but got right.”
“It is the perfect transition for a winter perfume,” Vicknair said. “It just so happens to be the exact dupe for the Baccarat Rouge perfume, I wore this the other day and I’m not kidding you, I had people stop me in the street telling me how good I smell.”
Another TikToker, Alyssa J., said, “this smells like Baccarat for real for real, […] these are both pretty on par”.
She added: “Out of all the other dupes I’ve tried, this is definitely the closest to Baccarat.”
The perfume is so popular, Zara came out with additional perfumes in the Red Temptation line.
Other perfumes include, Red Temptation & Vanille, Red Floral Temptation, Red Temptation & Sandalwood, Red Temptation & Tobacco, and Red Sweet Temptation. So there really is something for everyone, no matter what scents you prefer.
