A WOMAN who used to work on a perfume counter has raved about Zara's Baccarat Rouge dupe, insisting it's a must buy.
Maria took to TikTok to share her glowing review of the high-street store's Red Temptation.
"I used to work on a perfume counter so perfume is kind of my thing," she began.
"And by now I’m sure you’re all aware of the Zara Red Temptation perfume, which is meant to be a dupe for Baccarat Rouge 540 – aka the Molly-Mae perfume.
"Except obviously the Zara version is 80ml for £22.99 and Baccarat Rouge is 70ml and costs £235.00.
"That is more expensive than any perfume I ever sold on the counter."

She explained that when she was in Zara a few weeks ago, she wanted to see if they had Red Temptation, and spritzed some on her jacket sleeve before completely forgetting about it.
"Throughout the day I started going, ‘One of my friends smells really nice, what is this?’" she said.
"I ended up at a 90th birthday party later in the day – that’s a different story – but I was sat there and I was like, ‘That smell, I can still smell it!’
"And I was pretty confident that it wasn’t any of the 90-year-olds. And then I remembered that I sprayed one spray of this stuff, the cheap one, on my jacket.

Maria continued to reveal that after that, she'd gone out with her friend and her sister was wearing a familiar scent.
When she asked if she wearing Baccarat Rouge or Red Temptation, she told her it was the former, and she'd paid £240 for it.
"And I tell you they smell the same," Maria insisted.
"So basically yeah I am going to go back to Zara and buy this perfume because it’s ridiculous – it’s so nice."
"I’ve got the real baccarat rouge and it literally smells identical I was shocked," one person commented on the video.
To which Maria replied: "Yep!! My friends sisters is real and I couldn’t tell the difference!
"I think the real is a bit stronger but honestly for the price it’s insane!"
