Did you know you can shop Zara hair, nail, and makeup products and fragrances online and in stores? The latter is its biggest line, offering dozens of fragrances, and many of them fall under $40 a bottle.
Yeah, you should definitely be taking a look at them the next time you're on the hunt for a good affordable scent to add to your vanity. Before you rush off to your nearest store or click away to shop, keep scrolling to discover the Zara scents I swear by to level up my fragrance game without breaking the bank.

Amber in Bloom Eau de Parfum
When I'm in the market for a timeless amber fragrance, I'm immediately drawn to scents featuring a blend of fresh florals. Zara's Amber in Bloom does so by pairing lively jasmine and tuberose with the warmth of amber and cashmere. While I love amber scents year-round, this particular one is a go-to for fall and winter.

Apple Juice Eau de Toilette
For lovers of fruity and floral fragrances, the first Zara fragrance that comes to mind is the Apple Juice Eau de Toilette. It combines effervescent notes of juicy apple, pink grapefruit, and orange with a blooming bouquet of florals against the musky, woody notes of cedar and sandalwood. In other words, this doesn't count as your everyday apple scent.

Bold Blossom Eau de Parfum
With so many amber fragrances on the market, it can be hard to know which ones stand out from the bunch with added flair. The aptly named Bold Blossom goes where no amber-floral scent has gone before by combining the spiciness of pink pepper with bright citrus, fresh rose, and smoky incense. It's a youthful, yet elegant amber perfume worth having.

Deep Garden Eau de Parfum
If your outfit calls for garden fairy vibes and needs one last touch of whimsy, try a few spritzes of Zara's Deep Garden. It's one of those unique compositions that touches on amber and fresh notes with a mixture of sweet pear and tuberose backed by elegant tonka bean. I love pairing this one with a scent that is powdery fresh for added intrigue.

Fleur D'Oranger Eau de Parfum
When a sparkling citrus scent is done well, it can be energizing, inviting, and beyond versatile. Zara's Fleur D'Oranger is all of the above. The nose behind this bright floral scent is perfumer Jo Malone, so if you love Jo Malone London's fragrances, there's a high chance you'll fall head over heels for this one as well.
Fragrance Family: fruity floral
Key Notes: orange blossom, neroli, ylang-ylang
Longevity: 5 hours of wear time
Size: 3.4 ounces
Fleur de Patchouli Eau de Parfum
To me, fragrances that open with a layer of warm, luminous patchouli are as classic as it can get. Fleur de Patchouli matches the note with a whisper of soft peony and bold guaiac wood, making it one of the most worn Zara fragrances in my collection. I'll always love the first few spray of this scent, but it's the dry-down that keeps me coming back.
Fragrance Family: fresh woods
Key Notes: patchouli, peony, guaiac wood
Longevity: 4 hours of wear time
Size: 3.4 ounces
Gardenia Eau de Parfum
Sometimes, fruity gourmand fragrances can border on being sickly sweet or medicinal smelling, and no one wants to smell like cough syrup all day long. Zara's Gardenia beats all expectations by presenting a gourmand scent profile underlined with sweet orange blossom, energizing coffee bean, and savory raspberry.
Fragrance Family: fruity gourmand
Key Notes: gardenia, orange blossom, coffee notes, peach, raspberry
Longevity: 4 hours of wear time
Sizes: 6 ounces, 3 ounces, 1 ounce
Hibiscus Eau de Parfum
Perhaps the most polarizing fragrance of this edit, Hibiscus offers a tropical paradise in a bottle. It opens with a citrus cocktail before shifting into the colorful facets of mango and passion fruit. Wearers are also met with peony, vanilla orchid, and amber as a warm finishing touch. I love this scent for the summer months, especially if you're planning on booking a tropical vacation.
Fragrance Family: fruity floral
Key Notes: bitter orange, mandarin, peony, mango, passion fruit, vanilla orchid, amber
Longevity: 5 hours of wear time
Size: 3 ounces
Nude Bouquet Eau de Parfum
It's no secret that cozy, second-skin scents are my bread and butter, so it's no surprise the brand's Nude Bouquet is a favorite of mine. This familiar fragrance combines savory cherry, peony, and vanilla for a scent that feels like wearing your comfiest cashmere sweater.
Fragrance Family: fresh floral
Key Notes: cherry, peony, vanilla
Longevity: 6 hours of wear time
Sizes: 3.4 ounces, 1 ounce
Red Vanilla Eau de Toilette
Sophisticated, warm, and spicy, Zara's Red Vanilla Eau de Toilette is the mature fruity floral fragrance of my dreams. Fresh iris and peony pair well with zesty mandarin and raspberry before drying down to a sweet vanilla. I love how this scent wears on the skin but notice it lingers much longer on clothes with an impressive silage.
Fragrance Family: fruity floral
Key Notes: iris, peony, mandarin, raspberry, vanilla
Longevity: 6 hours of wear time
