She revealed the best bottles to nab and exactly which designer fragrances they’re dupes for in a TikTok video.
The first perfume she recommended was Sublime Epoque, which smells like Giorgio Armani My Way.
The scent “pays tribute to a sublime and radiant femininity”, according to Zara bosses.
They said: “At the heart, a scintillating floral bouquet featuring jasmine, tuberose and orange blossom is brightened up in contact with the natural facets of bergamot.

“Vanilla and cedar mingle to form a warm and addictive background.”
For 90ml of the designer version, you’d pay £125 compared to £22.99 for Zara’s 80ml dupe.
The perfume expert also recommended Golden Decade, which is a dupe for Yves Saint Laurent's Libre Intense.
Both have notes of jasmine, lavender and orange blossom but Zara’s version costs £22.99 compared to the luxury price tag of £130.
