'I swapped expensive YSL and Tom Ford perfume for £13 Zara scents'

A Zara shopper insisters she's found the perfect fragrances for those not wanting to spend a fortune on perfume. For many, indulging in a new scent every now and then is a big treat, especially considering the price tags on top brands.

Thankfully, there are ways to achieve similar scents without breaking the bank. Beauty fan Alex Pavolva, who shares her finds as on TikTok, often reveals good cheap alternatives to popular products.

In a recent video, Alex shared that Zara offers similar products to a number of high end perfumes - at a fraction of the price. In fact, she claimed they made her "stop buying the originals."

Among the fragrances she mentioned is Chanel's Chance Eau Fraiche, which is currently priced at £145 for 100ml. Alex compared Zara's Applejuice perfume, which comes in at £13, to the pricier version.

For those not wanting to fork out a whopping £485 for the very famous Maison Francis Kurkdjian Baccarat Rouge 540v (200ml), Zara shoppers could try the similar smelling fragrance Red Temptation for £13.

For those who love the classic Tom Ford scent Lost Cherry but don't fancy spending £390 on a 100ml bottle, Zara's Cherry Smoothie comes in at £12. Fans of Victoria's Secret Bombshell, priced at £59 online, can try an alternative for £9 if they snap up Zara's Orchid.

YSL fans could make some huge savings too, since Alex compares two of the brand's popular fragrances to alternatives from Zara. According to her video, Zara's Golden Decade (£23) smells similar to YSL Libre, which comes in at £135 for 90ml. YSL's Black Opium (£125) also has an alternative in Zara's Supreme Vanilla (£13).
