I’ve been seeing stuff *everywhere* about Zara’s perfume dupes, and specifically, their *Nude Bouquet* being a dead-ringer for Miss Dior. Now, Miss Dior… that’s a classic, a frickin’ *icon*. But the price tag? Ouch.
Apparently, Nude Bouquet is Zara’s attempt to mimic Miss Dior’s Blooming Bouquet version. I mean, let’s be real, “Blooming Bouquet” sounds *way* more expensive and fancy than “Nude Bouquet,” but hey, marketing, amirite? I dunno who comes up with these names. Sometimes I think they just throw darts at a board with random words.
And like, from what I’ve read (and I’ve done a lot of reading, trust me, I practically live on beauty blogs), Nude Bouquet captures that fresh, floral kinda vibe that Miss Dior is all about. They say it’s “delicate.” Delicate is good, right? Don’t wanna smell like, I dunno, a lumberjack. No offense to lumberjacks, but you know what I mean. We want to smell like flowers, not…wood.
Okay, so here’s the thing. I haven’t actually *tried* Nude Bouquet yet. I know, I know, I’m giving you all this info and I haven’t even smelled it myself. But based on what the “fragrance experts” (whoever *they* are!) are saying, it’s a pretty darn close dupe. I saw one person, like, a professional with “15 years of experience in the beauty industry” (!) say that Nude Bouquet is legit. So, you know… gotta trust the experts, I guess?
Honestly, the whole dupe thing is kinda genius. You get the *essence* of a fancy perfume without emptying your bank account. Plus, let’s be real, even if it’s not *exactly* the same, who’s gonna know? Unless you’re, like, hanging out with a bunch of perfume snobs, you’re probably good.
