Yara Moi by Lattafa Perfumes

Hello! Tried it today and absolutely loved it. As it dries down, the jasmine and peach really stand out, reminding me of those canned peaches sold in Chile. It has something that transports me back to perfumes from the 90s. So far, I’m quite fond of it and am considering wearing it to work.

It’s a difficult perfume to like, very floral and woody, in the ‘lady perfume’ style. It works for special occasions, has an elegant touch, but personally, I don’t like it much. It has good longevity and is noticeable; I wouldn’t buy it for more than $30. I don’t like this type of perfume, but for someone who really loves florals, it could be excellent. 6.5/10.

There’s no doubt that the pH of each person is a wonder: three of us friends tried it and it gave us different notes. It came out floral for me, but for one friend, it smelled like pure scandal. In the end, it’s a rich perfume; I have the Body version and if it works for me, I like it, but it’s something casual, not as rich on my skin as the Candy.

It’s elegant and slightly sweet. But the florals ended up making me dizzy. I liked sensing the peach with caramel, but the rest didn’t convince me; I found it too strong and floral.

It’s a well-woody jasmine. At times, you feel that creamy sweetness of the peach. I’m not a fan of woody perfumes, but it’s well balanced. It’s okay; it doesn’t drive me crazy and I wouldn’t buy it again. If you like the vibe of Dior’s J’adore, you’ll like this (not dupes, by the way). It’s rather a formal perfume, for a woman in her thirties.

I like it but it doesn’t overwhelm me. It has that thing the Yara ones have, like a dessert; you can feel the caramel and it’s sweet. But you can also detect quite a bit of the florals, the jasmine, which for me makes it less youthful. For an older person, I feel it’s a good perfume. It’s a more mature and elegant fragrance, not such a sweet dessert. But try it on skin because it changes a lot. I agree with the comments; if you like J’adore, you’ll like this.

Why didn’t I buy this sooner? It’s gorgeous and I love it. It smells much better than Yara Rosado: elegant and it lasts until the next day. A sexy scent of caramel, sandalwood, and amber that will surely captivate. I agree with those who say it resembles J’adore; it’s a bit like it, but this one is better.

Opens with rose, vaguely reminding me of Idole, and I’m fascinated because I’m a fan of the flower. Every nose is different, and I agree: of the three Yaras, this is my favourite (mind you, I adore Perfect by Maison Jil Sander). As it dries down, the jasmine appears with elegant sweetness. I don’t recommend buying it blindly as opinions vary greatly, but for me, it’s an absolute yes.

A substantial, elegant, and imposing fragrance. It’s sweet but very different from its sisters, Yara Rosa and Candy; it has a more mature sweetness from the caramel and jasmine, with the latter being the predominant note alongside the wood, giving it a green and fresh touch. The peach is more noticeable in the opening and balances the fragrance to make it floral/fruity. It’s not for older ladies, but for someone in their early twenties (like me). Not for daily use, but for the office, dinners, or special occasions. The longevity is beastly: I shower and I can still smell it. I give it 10/10; I like it more than Yara Rosado.

Reminds me of J’adore by Dior and I absolutely love it.

I bought it months ago and didn’t like it at first, but I wore it today and the dry-down was delicious. The projection is incredible; I’ve worn it for 8 hours and I can still smell it. It starts with lots of jasmine, then dries down to reveal a creamy, floral sandalwood, finishing with a sparkling, woody amber base. What a beautiful scent; I’m completely smitten.

My biggest disappointment… I tested it on blotter and fell in love with that caramel and peach scent, so I went to buy it without even smelling it again. When I got home, the great letdown: it smells of flowers and I hate flowers. Furthermore, its fixation is so high that with just one spray the scent wouldn’t go away and I couldn’t stand it. This was my first Yara; had I known, I would have bought the Tous Yara instead. In short, for me it smells like an older woman. Elegant? Perhaps, but it’s simply an ‘older woman’ scent. Sadly, it will be forgotten. NOTE: 5.5/10.

By far the worst of all the Yaras. It’s the only one we don’t sell in our perfumery because it’s bad at everything: poor dry-down, poor projection, poor trail, and poor fixation. It’s at the level of Zanzibar in terms of how bad it is. I recommend not buying it to anyone, at any price. It’s economical, but that doesn’t mean it can be rubbish. I recommend NOT BUYING, and certainly not blindly (unless you’re 85; if so, congratulations on knowing how to use Fragrantica).

What a shame. It’s truly exquisite and I loved it until the dry-down, when the patchouli starts to show; I almost tore my arm off from washing it so much.

I bought it today, tested it on skin, and waited. While it’s beautiful and rich, it’s a bit soft and I prefer more intense perfumes. It’s ideal for the day, summer, and spring: fresh, green, with lots of white flowers. On the trail and on skin, the jasmine is very noticeable, and only after a few hours does a shy but rich and deep caramel appear. If you like white flowers and jasmine, buy it without hesitation.
