Yara Elixir

I despise the OG Yara, the rest leave me unimpressed and Tous becomes too sour kinda like the OG but it's more tolerable. The Elixir is like the intense version of Yara Candy. Yara Candy is a fresher sister of this, strawberry dominant like strawberry milkshake while this is more berry-like with a dominant strawberry tart type of sweetness. Yara Candy is almost identical to Sweet Woman La Rive mainly a dupe for The Scent for her by Boss. (They share the black currant strawberry tangerine notes - green tangerine in Yara Candy). The Elixir one has some of the sickly sweet artificial smelling sugared black currant of Sweet Woman and Yara Candy but it's quite different and deeper than Yara Candy and Sweet Woman. It's also resinous at the later drydown while Yara Candy is not. No sour tones, very smooth but I was anosmic to it at first and after 20 mins it bloomed on my skin. When I bought it, the same thing happened I couldn't smell much the first minute but it developed quicker on my skin this time. Now I smell the opening clearly. I didn't have to let it macerate tho. It's a sweet smooth, juicy, vibrant yet jammy scent like sugared berry candy (black currant rather) with a strawberry tart scent, yet there's a subtly fresh floral undertone at first from the jasmine and a solar slightly salty element from the orange blossom. I detect the floral part even more when I smell my skin up close. At the drydown, it becomes much sweeter, more jammy. At the transition and drydown I'm getting the initial jammy, lactonic like custard, strawberry tart scent with the candied black currant's subtle green nuance almost fizzy, perhaps as it mingles with the orange blossom which can get alil fizzy on me along with its salty solar sweet nature. The black currant isn't minty exactly, but with the amber it just gives off a balsamic fresh quality, while the vanilla-infused lactonic strawberry tart scent is the dominant element and it smooths it out. The black currant offers a deeper berry-like undertone, subtly fresh - such a lovely twist- and it's still juicy but candy-like. Due to the vanilla and s'mores I get no sour effect from the black currant, only its fruity berry-like quality. I think the s'mores strawberry scent renders the black currant so candy-like, they're artificial from the start like a fruity drink, kinda plastic smelling, sickly sweet too esp at the drydown and more lactonic by the caramel, reminiscent of a bbw baked goods mist, syrupy sweet as they are. I wasn't too excited about the juvenile sickly sweet plastic effect for a minute, accompanied by the berry-candy type of black currant as it reminded me of The Scent for Her/Sweet Woman perfume but now I love this playful part because there's a beautiful resinous depth in this scent from the transition to the drydown even, so it's not juvenile and plain. Youthful playful unique yet sexy. It gets even more jammy, slightly powdery at the later drydown with the candied currant-strawberry scent blending into the resinous base, and the floral part is more discreet. The black currant and strawberry s'mores combo are so fruity jammy at the drydown that it reminds me of bbw Sugared Cherry Crisp mist (much lighter) at this stage without the coffee impression I get from that one. Equally reminiscent of the jammy berry scent of BBW Blueberry Bundt Cake and Blueberry Sugar Pancakes (no graham cookie baked goods scent here tho). At the later drydown the resinous and lactonic decadent caramel amber intensify and tie everything together, making it more mysterious and sophisticated. Absolutely love it. The strawberry s'mores scent runs throughout and influences everything along with the currant. I tested it next to Strawberry Marshmallow Dream 81 by The Dua, YBM's dupe and they're sister scents but different. I find this more dimensional, sweeter with the Sweet Woman by La Rive elements to it, more fruity, berry-like and candy-like, more syrupy, also deeper, richer, with that fresh side to it more subdued. It also has the resinous depth that the other one lacks. They're both sweet, smooth lactonic with a subtle fresh twist to them and a solar floral quality but again this is more syrupy, jammy and berry, candy-like, while YBM and DUA's dupe are more strawberry-raspberry-coconut centered and alot more fresh due to the ambroxan, the sour fruits and the freesia. This is more interesting to me. With maceration it lasts more and projects great.

Omg, this is GORGEOUS and way better than I expected. I already expected it to be great because I love YBM and have about four or five other dupes aswell and expected this to be just the same but it's not. I think I might actually like this interpretation of the DNA the best. I wasn't sure if I was even got bother getting it with having all the other ones but I got it as a birthday present off my perfume buddy and I'm so glad I did. At first spray I thought it was just another YBM clone but then I realised it wasn't. I could smell the blackberry something else that reminded me of Yara Candy. There's no sandalwood listed but I swear I can smell it. It has the same sandalwood base as Yara Candy. When it fully dries down I can smell the original Yara DNA buried in there. I kept getting whiffs of it and it reminded me of something I couldn't place and then it hit me, it's the marshmallow note from Kilian Princess. That fresh sort of marshmallow. It doesn't smell like Princess overall though. It's pretty complex for a gourmand that's quite affordable. I can smell all the notes individually. The caramel isn't too noticeable close up but in the air it is. It reminds me of the caramel in Viva La Juicy and Jessica Simpson Fancy. It just smooths everything else together. For the most part it's a creamy marshmallow, strawberry milkshake sort of scent. Pretty much what I expected the original Yara to smell like based on the notes. If you like to keep your collection small then it probably is redundant if you have YBM or any other dupe but for me it's not redundant at all. It's beautiful. I can't wait to wear it out tomorrow. I'd put it somewhere between YBM and all the clones, Yara, Yara Candy, Burberry Her Elixir and Princess.

Yara Elixir is a bit of a unicorn for me. I’m not really a fan of Arabic perfumes. I usually buy them for my 12-year-old daughter, mainly because I’m very sensitive to synthetic ingredients. I’m quite picky even when it comes to designer fragrances. But this one — I’m on my third bottle and I absolutely love it. I don’t really get strawberry in it; to me it smells more like blackcurrant. The opening is sweeter, almost crunchy, and it can seem quite sweet at first. But the magic is in the drydown. It’s an incredibly beautiful combination of caramel — not sugary sweet, but more powdery — amber, vanilla, and jasmine. Those notes are very prominent on my skin. The longevity is truly impressive. My skin tends to smooth out fragrances and make them more creamy, and here it works perfectly. I own expensive perfumes, niche fragrances that I adore, but this one really excites me. It’s probably not a completely safe blind buy, but for a grown woman it’s ideal. I often use it for layering as well — with Kayali Vanilla 28, and most often with Phlur Vanilla Skin. I’m honestly fascinated by how much this fragrance won me over.

Okay so I like this. And it DOES smell like Young bougie marshmellow from Kayali, and I already have that + have tried the dupes, so naturally i enjoy the scent. I was a bit dissappointed as people Said it had the same vibe, but that it was not a dupe. But the opening didnt smell like Young boujie marshmellow, and I was so happy, didnt get why anyone would feel it smelled like Ybm! But then it dried Down. With that being Said I do find it to be redundant ig you already own Young boujie marshmellow or the other dupes as its 85% the same exact scent. It has the strawberry and the same Vanilla fluffy sweetness that all the dupes have. Sadly I believed people when They Said it wasnt a dupe and its just “similar vibe”. Its a pretty scent, but u wouldnt have bought it if i knew they were THAT similar. The sillage is really good, and better compared to Young boujie marshmellow. It also lasts a really Long time 8+ hours on me. It does remind me of Yara in a way, because it is powdery/fluffy. But I hated Yara Candy, so I dont Think it is similar at all to that.

To me, this smells like an OG Yara extrait or intense version. The original dna is there, but more potent, more gourmand, and more creamy. Not a dupe of anything if 1:1, but this smells like a possible hybrid of Yara, Choco Musk, and YBM. I don’t think it smells as much like Yara Candy as it does the original. There’s a Candy like fruitiness in the drydown but I think it leans more creamy and gourmand. It’s a nice balance that doesn’t make it too sweet and photorealistically food-like. I own OG Yara, YBM, Sugar Mallow, Marshmsllow Bludh, Pink Blush, Marshmallow Skies, Choco Musk Marshmsllow, and Scentual Fragrances’ Strawberry Clouds, but I don’t think it was redundant to purchase this. If you’re more minimalist about your perfume collection, then it may be redundant if you have any of the aforementioned, but to me, this is its own unique fragrance and I really like it! Curious to know what it will bloom into in 6 months because Yara flankers tend to get much better with time.

The best compliment getter. Great performance especially for this price. I got compliments at work after 8hrs of wearing it so projection is good over time. It smells exactly like strawberry, biscuits, vanilla, a bit black currant and a bit lactonic (but this might be just me). Very sweet, gourmand, maybe a bit junevile if you like mature fragrances, but for me it’s a 10/10 love it. A close second favourite after Donna Born in Roma Extradose. A bit of a story besides the description: I was wearing it when I went with my boyfriend to a parfume shop with more niche/expensive fragrances and the girl that was working there said something like: “Someone smells really good and sweet here, but I just know it’s not one of the fragrances we sell here”. And it was actually me... getting a compliment on a 20$ fragrance in a shop that smells like Amouage, Xerjoff, PDM, Fragrance du bois, etc.

I blind-bought Yara Elixir because I love Yara Pink that much; pure curiosity and zero regret. My bottle is from February 2026, so it’s very fresh. Right now, it’s a fruity vanilla. On paper, grape and berries are very noticeable with a sweet vanilla base. After about 30 minutes, the grape gets stronger, but on my skin it skips quickly to the dry-down. The dry-down is the best part: strawberry marshmallow lightly caramelizing; sweet, warm, and slightly nostalgic (some might even get that “doll head” sweetness). It’s very pink and girly, but not childish; playful and feminine. Similarity to Yara Pink? Maybe 30% in the opening. The rest goes its own way. Not very close to Boujee Marshmallow or Marshmallow Blush either; maybe 20% at most in the opening. Overall: fruity marshmallow vanilla with a pink personality. I’m curious to see how it develops with time.

I love this so so much ♡ on my skin this is "just" original Yara - but 100 times nicer & it will macerate with time and get even better! On my skin; original Yara and similar perfumes like Ari by Ariana Grande or even Sweet Tooth by Sabrina Carpenter; they can have that "pickle note" - even tho the pefume itself is nice it takes away from it; ranging from "unusable" to "usable but not buying again". So this being "just Yara - but without that pickle note" is actually great and I'm really happy with it ♡ Like with original Yara; on my skin it's mostly flowers but they are surrounded with such a tasty, candy-like rich sweetness ♡ I can't wait for it to fully macerate to actually truly experience it, I think it will be my new fav ♡ Oh the bottle is also perfection - lovely mauve colour with rose gold details, my fav bottle between all the Yara's ^o^ ♡

I blind-bought this the moment I read the notes and saw a few reviews, and wow — my intuition did not miss. The opening was a little “hmm” at first, that playful strawberry-s’mores and black currant swirl, but give her five minutes and she turns into pure magic. The dry-down is caramel bliss — smooth vanilla and amber melting into soft musk. It’s sweet, warm, and addictive without being juvenile. Think dessert served on fine china: cozy, elegant, and quietly irresistible. This is date-night perfection or the ultimate cozy-evening scent — sweet enough to feel romantic, soft enough to stay comforting. I can already tell she’ll get even better after a little sitting time, but even fresh out the box she’s a standout. Rating: 9.5/10 — blind-buy win, caramel masterpiece, effortlessly sensual. ✨

This is my most favorite Yara. I bought it for myself for xmas. I've been wearing it literally every single day since then. I absolutely love everything about it, I love it more than OG Yara. It's an amazing strawberry cream, vanilla, cookie/baked good, caramelized sugary fruit. It mixes gourmand with strawberries, sweet red berries. Definitely Lattafa DNA, but I love this house so I may be biased. Eclair was my go to before, but this has been my non-stop, it adds a fun fruity change yo that can be played up more if I want to layer it on-top of my strawberry pound cake body oil, or make it even more creamy with eclair or a gourmand forward scent layered with it. I wish I bought this sooner. Idk if I'll ever be able to wear Yara again after this one, nd I own 3 version of it😂

Day one review: this isn’t much at all like so many are saying- the strawberry marshmallow is only at the top intro, does have a hint of chocolate for the s’mores vibe, but strawberry s’mores isnt the whole identity of the perfume- just the introduction. The main experience in this perfume is a creamy caramel supported by the vanilla. The caramel shifts textures over time from creamy caramel to warm melting caramel to soft caramel cream. Caramel is the flavor and creamy is the texture. This is a day one impression, so looking forward to the maceration. This isn’t redundant to strawberry marshmallow perfumes as some are saying- this has its own identity and uses. I can imagine a nice juicy apple layered on this to make a caramel apple. A very welcoming first impression.

I don't know why everybody is comparing this to YBM or Marshmallow Blush, it is it's own thing. Don't get me wrong, Marshmallow Blush is my favorite fragrance but they are different.Those two are just fluffy, ultra sweet and bright, perfect for the day, while Yara Elixir feels darker, sensual, intimate and almost oriental/spicy smelling. You get lot's off black currant, jammy strawberry, white florals, sweet caramel and vanilla, while YBM/Marshmallow Blush has the whipped cream note which makes it fluffy and airy. YBM/Marshmallow Blush is a sugary marshmallow cloud while Yara Elixir is a creamy, caramelized dessert. Same sweet category but totally different execution. Only because both are gourmands and have a strawberry note doesn't make it the same. ♥

ok disregard my original review. after letting this sit for 2 weeks, it has gone from a hate to an absolute love. it does smell like yum boujee marshmallow, but a cleaner, less cloying version. i had a full bottle of ybm but gave it away because it was just so sickeningly sweet and headache inducing, and there was something in the background (maybe the mix of artificial strawberry and coconut milk) that just made me sick. yara elixir doesn’t have any of those facets. although it’s still sugary sweet, the strawberry is less jarring and takes a backseat in this fragrance. it also doesn’t have that coconut weighing it down, so it maintains a fresh, airy quality that makes it so much more wearable for me. obsessed

THIS IS THE FRAGRANCE IVE BEEN LOOKING FOR. My gf told me she wants a powdery vanilla fragrance, shes mostly been using zara white and red vanilla all this time, and i wanted to find a creamier vanilla fragrance for her and this is absolutely it. Opens with a very realistic strawberry jam like smell, that dries down to a beautiful sweet creamy vanilla cake sort of vibe. This is the first time i felt a real GOURMAND type dragrance and its everything i imagined what gourmand would smell like. Sprayed it on my skin and my mouth keeps watering everytime i smell my hand. I cant wait to smell this on my GF, she would smell very yummy and seductive.

This smells really good I really love it for once there berry notes don't smell synthetic usually raspberry and some strawberry will smell like acetone. This doesn't do that at all. The dry down is so lovely it's vanilla, caramel with a touch of berry. This scent lasts on my skin over 8 hours in my case My only complaint is I wish that this was stronger it's called an Elixir. So hopefully in time it will develop more otherwise really lovely fragrance. I own YBM and there is a small vibe there but the dry down is totally different to me. I wish this had an attar like the others.

I loveee this. It took a little while to settle and for the notes to come out after purchasing, but I left it for a little while and wow 😍 whilst it may have some similarity to YBM it’s definitely not the same. Probably something to do with the strawberry s’mores note which gives it a different feel. Not quite toasted but something along those lines. Also the caramel is noticeable. I truly love all of the Yara’s so far, with the exception of the white bottle which is just ok.. maybe Yara Moi one needs more time but it is JUST floral to me with a little sweetness.

🌸 Wonderful perfume 💗💗💗 🌸 Price is only ~20e in Lithuania 🌸 Bottle is nice, soft pink color 🌸 For me it smells like more luxurious original Yara, like fluffy strawberry 🍓 milkshake with caramel and other soft notes 🌸 Sillage and longevity are good, not overpowering, but really noticeable, I was wearing it in the hospital 🏥, and I have received many compliments about how great I smell and all the room that I was sitting in 🌸 Of course I will buy it again when I will finish it, because it's one of my best perfumes from my huge ~50 perfumes collection 💗

A very nice Strawberry vanilla aroma. I like it because the strawberry is not juvenile. It’s an adultier strawberry bubblegummy vanilic scent. The musk gives it depth while the scent lasts. I can definitely say it lasts on clothes longer than it does on skin (unless I’m nose blind lol) Got a bottle gifted to me today and this is a great everyday easy going scent that I would say it’s ok to blind buy if you like gourmand scents. I haven’t left my bottle to macerate yet, but if it changes after a two three weeks, I’ll be back to update me review.

I was on the fence about Elixir since I already have the entire Yara line, but a coworker wore it one day and it was instant love for me... It’s DELICIOUS!! Strawberry jam and toasty marshmallow mixed with fluffy caramel is everything I’ve ever wanted. The black currant and florals are present and beautiful blended with those main notes. Amber and musk give it depth and complexity. Great longevity and projection, I know maceration will serve it right. Feminine, gourmand, perfect for any occasion! (Elixir + Eclaire have become my favorite duo)
