Ask any editor at Who What Wear UK what some of the best perfumes are, and there's bound to be a Zara perfume on the list. Not only do these scents smell incredible, but the bottles look chic, they're super affordable and they give some of the best fashion-house fragrances a run for their money. If I'm being totally honest, some of the most used perfumes in my collection are from the high-street store. The other day, my friend texted me to say that she was out shopping and looking to treat herself to a Zara fragrance, and she asked which one I'd recommend.
I replied straight away telling her that she had to get Zara Red Temptation. Don't get me wrong—there isn't one Zara perfume that I've tried and haven't liked, but in my opinion, Red Temptation is a cut above the rest. I've never received so many compliments on a scent before, and it smells so expensive.

Zara Red Temptation Review
What Does Zara Red Temptation Smell Like?
The affordable fragrance contains notes of smooth saffron, jasmine and amber, but the addition of praline gives it a delicious, creamy finish. If I had to describe it in a nutshell, I would say it smells sweet, sensual and incredibly luxurious. Even if you don't like sweet scents, the woody, earthiness of amber and moss give this fragrance a deep richness, and I'm yet to meet someone who isn't obsessed with it. Honestly, I couldn't recommend it enough. Spritzing the perfume feels like a warm hug, and the scent is perfect for date nights or special occasions.
Does Zara Red Temptation Last?
I know what you're thinking, surely a Zara perfume doesn't last as long as a designer fragrance? Although the scent projection and lasting powers might not be quite as good, I was really impressed when testing this out. Thanks to the rich, heady aroma, the notes linger on the skin all day long. Sure, it might fade by the time the evening rolls around, but thanks to the more affordable price point, I don't mind having to top up my perfume before heading out to dinner or drinks.
How Much Does Zara Red Temptation Cost?
The best bit about this perfume is just how affordable it is. You can get a 80ml bottle for £23 (it also comes in 50ml and 30ml sizes too) and trust me when I say that it will last you forever. All in all, if you're looking for a new perfume this season, I urge you to make this one top of your list.

Intensified by notes of cocoa and vanilla, this fragrance is totally intoxicating.
If smoky, spicy scents are more your thing, I highly suggest adding this to your basket.
Hints of sandalwood make this fragrance smell even more sophisticated.
