Yara Moi by Lattafa Perfumes

I bought it blind because I love jasmine and had read countless reviews. It gave me so much anxiety to try it out, and I think that anxiety worked against me. On the first spray, I thought I’d made a mistake—it wasn’t for me. I smelled a very strong wood note at first, so much so that I doubted it. But then the hidden jasmine appeared, one of my favorite notes. From there, the perfume changed: you can smell the peach, amber, and then patchouli. Dried down, it’s impeccable, elegant but not pretentious. I loved it. I find it very versatile, suitable for all year and almost any occasion.

It’s a perfume that’s hard 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 great. 6.5/10.

No doubt that pH is a miracle: three of us friends tried it and got different notes. For me, it came out floral; for one friend, it smelled like pure scandal. In the end, it’s a nice 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.

I find it elegant and refined; it’s the most formal of the sisters. I like it for daytime formal occasions.

I like it, but it doesn’t overwhelm me. It has that thing the Yara line has, like a dessert; you can smell the caramel and it’s sweet. But you can also smell quite a bit of floral, 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 as sweet as a dessert. But try it on your skin because it changes a lot. I agree with the comments; if you like J’adore, you’ll like this.

White floral and coconut opening, super fresh and delicate. Then the peach and jasmine create a creamy accord that’s rich but not cloying—tropical yet refined. As it dries down, the sandalwood with a touch of caramel adds warmth and elegance. It’s understated, perfect for everyday wear: it doesn’t overpower, smells amazing without being overwhelming. It’s neither too youthful nor old-fashioned; it’s the most sophisticated in the Yara line. Perfect for heat and moments when you want to smell good without bothering anyone. There are more intense options for night, but this shines with its balance and serenity. A sophisticated, mature delight, the calmest in the collection. 8/10.

Quick analysis: 1. Versatility: works for any season, day or night, but feels very formal. 2. Longevity: between 6 and 8 hours. 3. Sillage: moderate, projects well in both open and enclosed spaces. 4. My take: it fits my tastes but not entirely. I wouldn’t buy it again; I only used it once in the last three months.

The notes I notice most are caramel, sandalwood, and amber. It’s sweet, creamy, woody, and ambered, with a floral touch that doesn’t get cloying. I love the dry-down of this Lattafa collection; it has a powdery, 90s vibe. It’s not my usual gourmand style, but I might give it a shot.

Honestly, I was pleasantly surprised; I didn’t have high expectations. It’s a rich, creamy jasmine; at first, you get the peach and I don’t detect much caramel, which makes it a good daily, feminine, and more original scent than I expected. To sum it up: creamy jasmine + sandalwood, then jasmine with sweet peach. I’m hooked.

I bought it months ago and didn’t like it at first, but I used 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.

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

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 like flowers, and I hate flowers. Plus, its longevity is so high that one spray wouldn’t go away, and I couldn’t stand it. This was my first Yara; if I had known, I would have bought the Tous Yara instead. In short, for me, it smells like an older woman. Elegant? Maybe, but it’s simply an ‘older woman’ scent. Sadly, it will be forgotten. NOTE: 5.5/10.

Out of the entire Yara collection, this is the best for my nose. I wouldn’t buy it again because it’s different and has a very special note. I don’t compare it to the others; each one is special. Would I gift it?……..

So sad. It’s truly exquisite and I loved it until the dry-down, when the patchouli really kicks in—I almost ripped my arm off from washing it so many times.
