Welcome to my Lattafa Yara review!
The Arabic world is very vast and has tons of hidden gems, but is Yara one of them? Lattafa gained a lot of visibility in 2023 with TikTok and social media, but most people get suspicious about this “new” perfume brand due to its popularity and budget fragrances.
Costing almost half of most perfumes from famous brands costs, Yara has appeared as an interesting fragrance that has gained public attention. In this article you´ll know more about the perfume and if it´s a reliable scent from a reliable house.
Yara was crafted to combine the sweetness of tropical fruits with the creaminess of vanilla. It´s not a combination we see every day, making the fragrance considered a tropical gourmand fragrance with notes of vanilla, pineapple, musk and tangerine. This blend of notes gives the fragrance a gourmand sweet scent, reminding bakery fruit cakes.
In this Lattafa Yara review, I’ll try to explain in the best and most detailed way possible the main aspects of the perfume. This includes its scent, fragrance evolution, longevity, projection, versatility, and price. Join me on this journey and enjoy the reading!
Scent
Lattafa Yara has a very interesting scent, not usual in the perfumery world. It has a good blend of tropical fruits with an accord of “gourmand cake” and vanilla, giving the fragrance a characteristic of a tropical gourmand fragrance. The main notes of the perfume include:
- Top Notes: Orchid, Heliotrope, and Mandarin Orange
- Middle Notes: Gourmand and Tropical Fruits
- Base Notes: Vanilla and Musk
First, the scent starts citric with a mandarin orange followed by some flowers accords with the joining of Heliotrope and Orchid, creating a sensation of floral perfume. Second, with the joining of gourmand notes and tropical fruits, the fragrance starts to get a “creamy fruit cake” vibe, giving the perfume a gourmand aspect. Lastly, the notes of vanilla and musk take place, making the fragrance settle down with a creamy fruity scent.
Overall, the scent is very nice and different from what we are used to smell on the market. For the price, this scent offers much more than you´d expect and deserves attention for sure!
Longevity
One aspect they needed to sacrifice to give a smelling budget perfume is longevity for sure. It´s not a long-lasting fragrance, lasting for around 4 – 6 hours on most women’s skin. However, you can get a longevity of 8+ hours with this perfume if combined with another vanilla fragrance.
It´s important to acknowledge that the longevity of any fragrance is closely linked to individual skin chemistry. Therefore, results may vary from. We highly recommend purchasing a decant or a travel bottle size or even testing it and experiencing the performance on your skin.
Projection
Regarding projection, Lattafa Yara has also a weak performance in this aspect, being considered an intimate fragrance with a low projection.
However, it´s important to mention that performance may vary with seasons. The projection has good adaptability to different climates, getting louder during spring and summer and shyer during winter and autumn.
It´s a fragrance crafted for versatility, being perfect for warm weather, especially for summer nights. Lattafa Yara cannot be used during the day in these seasons, due to its lack of freshness in its ingredients. The warm weather boosts the fragrance projection, making its scent of creamy cake louder for everyone around you.
Versatility
As said before, Lattafa Yara has very good versatility, especially for hot nights during spring and summer. The fragrance can adopt 2 different configurations, a shy and creamy scent during winter and autumn and a tropical fruity vanilla gourmand during summer and spring.
This versatility makes the fragrance perfect for summer parties at night, casual hangouts, dinners, hangouts with friends, and some dates at night.
During summer and spring, the perfume becomes more aggressive with a strong fruity vanilla scent, perfect for dates or more formal occasions. On the other hand, during winter and autumn, the fragrance gets shyer, showcasing a soft version of the perfume with a scent of vanilla and musk.
The only occasion I do not recommend using this perfume is during summer and spring days. The fragrance lacks fresh notes and will turn into an annoying scent.
Price
This is the most impressive part of the fragrance. Lattafa Yara costs only 30€ for the 100ml bottle which is amazing for the quality you get! Lattafa is always surprising with high-quality fragrances and low prices.
Conclusion
With a distinct blend of notes of orchid, heliotrope, mandarin orange, gourmand and tropical fruits, vanilla, and musk Yara is considered a fruity gourmand fragrance, perfect for a wide range of occasions.
Its versatility is very unique, being perfect for warm weather and usable during cold weather too. During spring and summer, the fragrance adopts a louder version, being more usable for dates and formal occasions. However, during winter and autumn, things change and the fragrance starts to get shy with a low projection and longevity, being perfect for more casual moments.
Besides its versatility, Lattafa has done a very good job with this fragrance for release on the market for only 30€! If the fragrance was released by a traditional perfumery house, would cost much more. Way more…
To conclude our Lattafa Yara review, I´ll give it an Overall Rating of: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐(8/10)
