Lattafa Perfumes

Yara

2020

“Soft, sugary and a little extra — the spring-afternoon bottle for when the outfit is already doing the talking.”

sweet

vanilla

powdery

A powdery tropical gourmand from Lattafa's 2020 lineup: orchid and heliotrope open over a fruit-led gourmand heart, finishing on soft vanilla. Sweet, vanilla and powdery accords run in near-equal measure, with the tropical fruit reading as a secondary layer rather than the lead. The line expanded in 2023 with Yara Tous. Wears strongest in spring, with summer close behind, and leans heavily toward daytime.
