Lattafa Yara Candy

Fizz, not powder. Yara Candy is the tangy, sparkling member of the Yara family.

Instead of the original’s soft heliotrope and orchid, it opens with a strawberry fizz candy accord, green mandarin and black currant. It’s bright, sharp and fun, like brightly colored sweets. Gardenia adds a creamy floral heart underneath, so the flower never disappears. Sandalwood, vanilla syrup, musk and amber then carry the sweetness into a warmer finish.

The citrus and black currant matter here. They bring a sharper contrast to the sweet heart and keep it lively.

A weekend birthday lunch is the perfect excuse to wear it.

The Eau de Parfum comes in 0.8 oz or 3.4 oz.

The softer, creamier original is Lattafa Yara. For strawberry dessert instead of candy, see Yara Elixir. More Lattafa is here.
