Zara Just Dropped 6 Expensive-Smelling Fragrance Edits That Could Easily Pass for Designer

Zara's Red Temptation fragrance has become well-known for smelling very similar to Maison Francis Kurkdjian's Baccarat Rouge 540. Since taking off on TikTok when users realised it was £222 cheaper than MFK—not to mention how expensive it smells—Zara has since launched flanking versions of the scent, including Red Temptation Summer, Red Temptation Winter and Red Temptation Elixir.

This discovery set allows you to try all of them in rollerball format for just £16, and the 7.5ml vials are ideal for popping into your bag or carry-on luggage if you're heading on holiday. If you love warm, woody amber scents, you have to try this quartet.

This set has four 30ml travel-sized versions of Zara's Chapters scents—can we take a moment to talk about how cute these miniature bottles are? Inside you get Red Temptation, Golden Decade and Rose Gourmand as in the above set, but with the addition of Sublime Epoque, a heavenly mix of creamy tuberose, jasmine and vanilla. This is the ideal discovery set if you want to try some of Zara's most-loved fragrances without committing to a full-sized bottle.

I'm so pleased these scents created by perfumer Jo Malone CBE are back in the form of a discovery set—and new chic bottles—as each is incredible. I'm willing to put it out there: these are Zara's best perfumes, ever. Many of these are inspired by cities around the world, there is something for everyone in this discovery collection, including Fashionable London, Elegantly Tokyo, Energetically New York, Ebony Wood and Fleur d'Oranger. You get five designer-smelling scents in 7.5ml sizes for just £36, which is great value for how beautiful these perfumes are.

Fragrance lovers say that Fashionably London is a dead-ringer for Parfums De Marly Delina (one of the most sought-after luxury perfumes right now) and Energetically New York is a sandalwood scent that gives a little nod to Le Labo Santal 33. Ebony Wood will appease sweet-woody lovers and both Fleur d'Orangeur and Elegantly Tokyo are a floral-lover's dream.

Also created by Jo Malone CBE are the Emotions scents, and you can try a handful of these in this discovery set in 7.5ml form. Inside, you have Ebony Wood, Amalfi Sunray, Vetiver Pamplemousse, Waterlily Tea Dress and Fleur de Patchouli. Ebony Wood reminds me a lot of Jo Malone London's Pomegranate Noir, and Amalfi Sunray transports you straight to the Italian Riviera, with sun-drenched orange blossom, mandarin and bergamot. Vetiver Pamplemousse is an aromatic and fresh take on grapefruit and woody vetiver, and Waterlily Tea Dress will transport you to summer picnics with a gentle breeze in the air. Finally, Fleur de Patchouli is a sophisticated take on earthy patchouli with peonies and guiac wood. This is such a chic edit of fragrances.

If you want to try some of Zara's other best-selling perfumes, this discovery set has a selection of 30ml vials to try, including the much-loved Red Temptation with its luxurious notes of amber and wood.

Inside this set, you also have Golden Decade, a fruity floral with hypnotic jasmine, orange blossom and juicy mandarin; and Hypnotic Vanilla, a sweet and mysterious scent that TikTok says is like Dior Hypnotic Poison, but to me, it reminds me a little of Byredo's Vanille Antique.My favourite from the set is Rose Gourmand, which I recently experienced on a friend who smelt absolutely incredible, and I demanded to know what it was. Think velvety rose and peony petals laced with caramel with a hint of musk. It's a divine evening scent if you want compliments left, right and centre.

Inside this discovery set you can try 6.5ml miniature bottles of the Shades of Fragrances collection, which includes Bliss, Nirvana, Lust, Joy and Nostalgia.

Bliss is a rich floral with notes of kumquata, gardenia and narcissus, with base notes of ruby cocoa and patchouli. Fans of gourmand florals will love Joy, which combines peony and rose with hypnotic vanilla. Looking at the notes, Lust sounds very similar to the much-loved Valaya fragrance with peach, orange blossom and musk. Like fruity scents? Nostalgia's kiwi-based fragrance is combined with cedarwood and magnolia for an elevated twist. Finally, Nirvana is a zesty scent of ginger, eucalyptus and jasmine.
