I swear I try to gatekeep perfumes, but I can\u2019t lie\u2014and I overshare for a living. So when someone asks what I\u2019m wearing, I tell them. And lately it\u2019s Lattafa Yara. It\u2019s already blowing up on Reddit and #PerfumeTok, so grab it now, before it becomes the next Santal 33. Then you can say, \u201cI wore it first.\u201d (I always do.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The reasons I love Lattafa Yara are endless. It\u2019s a vanilla-forward perfume soaked in fruity nectars and gourmand accords. On paper, it sounds sugary and juvenile\u2014but it\u2019s anything but. I usually lean floral, where citrus top notes sparkle and petals take center stage, but Lataffa\u2019s Yara rewrites that script. It opens with florals drenched in tangerine juice, then melts into creamy clouds of nectar and vanilla. Finally, it settles into soft musks and my favorite woody note of all: Sandalwood. The most interesting thing about Lattafa Yara is that the vanilla should be the star, hogging the spotlight\u2014but no. This vanilla is a team player.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I also love that it\u2019s affordable, because if there\u2019s one thing Yara teaches us, it\u2019s that you can smell expensive without paying exorbitant sums. You might read or hear that this one smells like strawberry\u2014I don\u2019t. I get my strawberry fix somewhere else (hi, Strawberry Shortcake perfume).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
No, Yara is soft, delicate, floral. The kind of scent that makes you smile at yourself in passing. Everyone\u2019s favorite type, no? <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Another thing I love about Lattafa Yara? Her flankers. <\/em> Yara Tous is a coconut\u2013mango\u2013passionfruit trio that nails what a tropical vanilla-cashmeran perfume should smell like\u2014sunny, creamy, and addictive. Yara Candy, on the other hand, is pure strawberry milkshake energy (the kind that brings all the Oh, and in case you missed it\u2014Lattafa just dropped Yara Elixir<\/strong>, the boldest evolution yet. For everyone who thinks the original Yara is \u201ctoo soft,\u201d this one projects so beautifully it could be admired two towns over. So, my sister\u2014if you read this\u2014close your eyes, because this is what you\u2019re getting for the holidays this year.\u00a0 And if you\u2019re craving more fragrance finds that are blowing up right now\u2014oh, we\u2019ve definitely got you.<\/a> I swear I try to gatekeep perfumes, but I can\u2019t lie\u2014and I overshare for a living.
