Yara Moi

Yara Moi by Lattafa (often nicknamed "Yara Bianco") is a fragrance that has managed to conquer a solid niche of enthusiasts thanks to its distinctive character, very different from the famous pink progenitor. While the pink Yara is a "cloud" of strawberries and cream, Yara Moi veers into warmer, creamier and slightly more sophisticated territories. The Opening (Peach and Jasmine): The opening is juicy but not overly fresh. The peach is ripe and velvety, while the jasmine adds a clean floral touch that keeps the fragrance from becoming too heavy right away. The Heart (Caramel and Amber): This is the soul of the perfume. The caramel here is not "burnt", but more reminiscent of a milk dessert (like dulce de leche). The amber warms the composition, making it enveloping. The Base (Sandalwood and Patchouli): The sandalwood emphasizes the creaminess, while the patchouli in this fragrance is very modern and "clean"; it only serves to give structure and longer wear on the skin, without being earthy.Seasonality: This is a perfect scent for autumn and winter. In the summer heat, the caramel note might be a little too opulent. Durability: Excellent, like most Lattafas. On skin it easily lasts 6-8 hours, while on clothes it can last until the next day. Sillage: Moderate/Intense. It makes itself felt without overwhelmingly "filling" a room, as long as you don't overdo it with the sprays. I recommend it to those who love Gourmand perfumes that don't just smell like sugar, but have a woody and creamy base. If you're looking for a cheaper alternative to niche scents that mix canned fruit and sandalwood, Yara Moi is an excellent choice. It's a creamier, more tropical version (despite no declared coconut) of modern amber fragrances. It is less "adolescent" than the pink Yara and more "feminine“.

Okay, so I am re-listing the notes as per Lattafa's website, as the notes listed above are incorrect: Top Notes Pear, Pink Pepper, Black Current Middle Notes Tuberose, Jasmine, Almond Base Notes Vanilla, Cashmeran, Patchouli This is NOT a PEACH dominant scent. There is no caramel and it's not gourmand. This is a PEAR and tuberose scent. Its floral and It is GREEEEEEEEEN. We're not talking galbanum green; this is a crisp, sweet green. If you have trouble wearing white flowers, specifically tuberose, you can probably tolerate this one. The tuberose is very muted and soft, becoming more "creamy" in the drydown. I don't get much of the jasmine, except at first spray, and even that is minimal. The pepper shows up a couple minutes in, and supports the other notes, but its not overpowering, like in Guess Gold. The cashmeran and vanilla are not really noticeable but add more creaminess to the composition. I love patchouli, and patch dominant scents, but I really don't get much here. To my nose, this is a non-specific soft, sweet, creamy green scent. Very linear and easy to wear. I tend to overspray this one, which doesn't matter, as it stays pretty close to the skin, lasts for days on clothes, and trails like crazy. You may not smell it, but trust me, others do. I would consider this work safe, and if you like PEAR scents, a safe blind buy. Note: My bottle is two months old. This scent, like all Lattafa scent needs to macerate. Also, for me this layers well with other pear or jasmine scents.

Ok, so my brain & nose are no longer twisted about Moi. The notes listed here are definitely not correct. The combination of pear & black current is what my nose perceived as peach. After sitting in the cold dark closet for 6 months, I now smell every note listed on the Lattafa site... Top: pear, pink pepper, black current Mid: tuberose, jasmine, almond Bottom: vanilla, cashmeran, patchouli I had not touched in a couple months, but grabbed for Moi after my shower today. I sniffed the cap deciding whether I would wear. I immediately smelled the almond, which I couldn’t smell at all until today. On clothing, it stays a lil linear, but not completely. It performs different on my skin. The opening is very juicy, the pear & black current are sweet & fresh. On my clothing, the fruits from the opening stick around. I smelled the pink pepper from my skin. The white florals are there, the jasmine center stage. The vanilla is much stronger than before, but patchouli is dominant in the dry down. I like this perfume, it is simple, easy. Projection is good, it fills a space & leaves a trail. Moi is not offensive, she is just basic. This is a good everyday fragrance with moderate performance. For 20 bucks, you get a good, dependable fragrance. Moi is my second favorite Yara because of its simplicity & because it is not gourmand. Moi is a very juicy fruity floral that I can wear year around in our humid heat or the lingering scattered cold days of Winter. 10/10

some of these reviews are wild... i do wonder if there are fakes out there, due to the viral popularity of the yaras. idk. I don't smell any of those nasty things mentioned. I got mine from a big grey market seller with good feedback and it has the holo sticker. It's also a little 'pre started' because unfortunately the package got smashed up and it started leaking in transit 🙃. But i like it so much i'm gonna get an undamaged bottle, or at least decant this one! it starts out fruity and tangy with like a peach-pear-mandarin-y clean summer fruit juice and shampoo-y, not at all indolic jasmine, and then a kind of biscoff caramelized biscuit almondy amber aspect (that no, doesn't smell like actual sugar and butter caramel, that's true) and very light, fresh herbal airy twang that i guess is the patchouli, though it's a much less earthy patch than in other lattafas. I feel like there is a bit of unlisted white musk in the base, and maybe it's an aspect of the fruit but i keep thinking there's ylang ylang in there that's not in the notes. i don't sense the sandalwood exactly, except maybe in adding to the 'biscuit' sensation. It's a relatively long lasting scent but it stays close to the skin, hopefully that will improve. my first association when i unboxed it was actually that barbie doll in the 90s that came with a perfume bottle, both the fresh sweet plastic doll head and the tropical "perfume" 😅. Nostalgic and girlish, imo.

Wow this is so gorgeous. It's elegant, classy, feminine and comforting. The notes listed on fragrantica are wrong, this its the notes from the lattafa website: Top: Pear, Pink Pepper, Black Current Middle Notes: Tubercose,Jasmine, Almond Base: Vanilla, Cashmeran,Patchouli It opens up with a very juicy fruit note, to me it smells like peach but I think it's the mix of pink pepper, pear and black current since that's the actual notes You definitely get that fruity juiciness with the pink pepper, it's very sweet and fresh As it starts drying down you get the florals they are very well blended in the fruit, I definitely get that jasmine, I get a sweet syrupy caramel note and it dries down to a beautiful peaches and caramel scent with some earthiness which grounds it and makes it so elegant. I definitely get vanilla as this dries down as well. It is so long lasting and it didn't even need to macerate! To me this is so gourmand, sweet and fruity but also fresh, floral and slightly earthy. I absolutely love this. The earthiness in this is like smelling a sweet caramel peach that is outside after it rained. It's so cosy and comforting. Truly a beautiful fragrance, 10/10, to me this is so elegant and feminine I don't really understand why it's so polarising and why there are so many bad reviews...

I know this perfume gets a lot of hate but first let me say that most Arabic perfumes need time to macerate. I did not like this at first but my friend told me wait about a month and then revisit it. She was right, this smells so good on my skin now. It has a slightly sweet clean soap smell, on my skin I smell peach and jasmine for sure. Now I’m not a fan of patchouli but it’s really well blended in this perfume. The dry down is light florals peach and subtle sweetness from the caramel. This is not a gourmand, this is for people who like Lataffa peace and love or soapy clean girl type fragrances. Eventho it leans feminine I can see a man pulling this off. Something about this perfume draws me in more and more. That’s what I appreciate and love about it. This to me you can wear year round but I think it will perform better in fall and spring. Anytime of the day wear, but I wear this at night.

When I first got this I sprayed it and it was all notes of bug spray and alcohol. But the rule of thumb with any of these Arabian gems is to let it macerate 1-3 months and revisit. After about 3 months I tried it again and it was gorgeous, and now about 6 months later I can honestly say this fragrance is so smooth and beautiful you can't really decipher individual notes, it's that well blended and gorgeous. Creamy white floral, sweet caramel, powdery amber. I don't get any patchouli--or if it's there, very little. The sandalwood shines in the drydown as a creamy soft base to the whole thing. Sniffing up close I get a delightful tart burst of sweet tarts candy, which makes the whole thing fun. Worth a blind buy if you're curious and willing to spray once and put it in time out. ♥

I just received this perfume. I have well over 160 perfumes. I have the best of the best in perfumery.. I have heard nothing but trash talk about these Yara perfumes from Lattafa on YouTube and frankly, I don’t get it. They are very crowd pleasing scents. They are just sweet,sexy and good smelling. that’s all. Synthetic ? I have news for you. They are very few perfumes that are not synthetic anymore. Not every perfume has to be mind blowing or completely revolutionary. for the money $20-$23. It’s a win-win just a very good everyday scent. What’s wrong with smelling delicious? On a sidenote, here, if you don’t like patchouly, this probably is not for you, but otherwise, just a very good perfume and that includes j the original Yara as well..

I bought this blindly because I tend to like white floral/peachy/sweet vanilla perfumes so this sounded great to me. When I started seeing that it had so many negative reviews I got scared and thought I wasn't gonna like it. I'm wearing it for the first time now and I LOVE this fragrance. The most prominent notes (at least on my skin) are the white flowers and caramel. This smells sweet, gourmand and long lasting but clean, fresh and not overwelming at the same time. I wish the peach was more prominent on me, it faded away really quickly. If you read the notes this perfume has and you love them then you should buy it because it smells exactly how it's described. The patchouli scent it's not that prominent on my skin either.

Finally I have it! I'm a fanatic of the Jasmine smells a lot that I have Jasmine incenses since years ago,so I can confirm that this lattafa Moi smells predominantly a Jasmine like my incense of Jasmine,maybe the sandal wood and patchouli notices but is very slightly for my olfative nose, also my body PH is Acidic Skin,and my body temperature is intermediate of cold and warm,so i only sniff the Jasmine scent in my body, and I tend to use always a Lavender soaps for my showers ,so also thats why I sniff only the Full Jasmine floral, And That's is what I wished of this perfume! (And at least in me is long lasted like 8+ hours if I spray in myself generously, and if I spray on my clothes the durability is for days.) 🥹🪷🌸🎋🤲🏻

I've had this one for a couple of years now - I've gone through phases with it, sometimes finding it synthetic and weird and sometimes getting delicious peaches and cream. Now I've tried it again - I want to say I got this early 2023? - and it smells so good! I think it'll go back into my everyday rotation - it smells like peaches and digestive biscuits. The peach isn't syrupy and juicy but more custardy, and there's definitely some sort of vanilla/ caramel/ toffee note in there now. I really like this now, although I do wish it hadn't taken so long to reach a point where I'm able to genuinely enjoy it. The longevity has actually improved over time for me, as has the projection. This is really nice!

The notes listed here are wrong. As a user mentioned below, according to Lataffa's website they are (and I quote textually): Top: Pear, Pink Pepper, Black Current Middle Notes: Tubercose,Jasmine, Almond Base: Vanilla, Cashmeran,Patchouli It's a lovely perfume. At first sniff, I could smell some strooong jasmine, which I like but it was all jamine. I almost discareded it, but as time went by, the vanilla and cashmeran started taking over and it became much more woody and sweet (but not overpowering). I love it! thinking about purchasing it. EDIT: After an hour or so, I can smell something that reminds me of the smell of old make up (like old lipsticks or old eye shadow), but I still like it!

I bought this on spec and I am in love!!!!!!!! This starts with a huge blast of peach and jasmine, very "loud" but in a nice way. It took a good 3 hours to dry down into the sweet caramel floral, slight spice of amber, with the hint of patchouli and sandlwood. This stays well and now, 8 hours later, it is mostly an extremely well blended mix of mostly patchouli and sandlwood but, soft and sweetened, not harsh. A delight to wear. I am well happy with this concoction. The dry down is the best I have come across in a long time. All aspects are still there but rearranged. That makes a pleasant change from linear perfumes on the market nowadays. This is alchemy indeed!!!!!!!!

It surprises me that this perfume gets so many negative reviews. It's one of my all-time favorites from Lattafa! The notes here on this site are INCORRECT, here is the notes listing from the seller website: Top notes of Pear, Black Currant, and Pink Pepper. Mid notes of Tuberose, Jasmine, and Almond. Base notes of Vanilla, Cashmeran, and Patchouli. To me, this scent is beautiful and alluring. The pear and currant are strong and present in the opening, but blend well and softly give way to the jasmine and cashmeran over time. It lasts forever on my skin, and never dries down to anything unpleasant for me. It smells expensive and bold, and I will keep buying more bottles!

Maybe my sense of smell is off, but Yara Moi reminds me so much of caramel cookies, sweet biscuits, and moist muffins. This is a warm treat that's been freshly baked and has an enticing aroma that wafts throughout the house. The peach mixes with the caramel and amber to give that decadent peach pie-like richness and the jasmine and sandalwood help to ground this to keep it from being too sugary. It's like a mother's loving hug when you're feeling down, or like visiting grandma's house when she's got a batch of your favorites baking in the oven. I truly believe you could wear this all year round because it is comforting and delightful, just like home.

Just blind bought this and am very pleased with my purchase! Starts off peachy with lots of jasmine and dries down to be something less strong yet elegant. The patchouli in this doesn’t turn me away as it often does in other scents. Reminds me of Perfect without the artificial banana scent. I also get a faint sweet almond scent which was a wonderful surprise. Smells fresh, clean, and very feminine. Makes me feel put together and beautiful! A couple sprays will do, non-offensive so can wear to work daily and won’t be a bother. For sure one of my new favourite perfumes and will be wearing this year round, all the time (especially for the price)!

I'm going mirror some of the other positive reviews: this is nostalgic, youthful, beachy, summery. It's a sweet, creamy floral with a musty scent that reminds me of a wet swimsuit. Multiple people have mentioned that "wet" smell that I believe is the way the notes interact with the patchouli but it's SO comforting. This is one of my favorite perfumes. It's polarizing, so I recommend you find a used one where the notes have had time to settle. I can't gush about this fragrance enough. Sweet & creamy: like ice cream, maybe frozen yogurt, but light Floral: soft jasmine. Not loud, not sharp, not soapy Musty: almost aquatic? Soft, balanced.

Im honestly shocked by the negative reviews on this perfume, it is beautiful! The jasmine, peach and caramel are prominent, and in my opinion this fragrance is so sweet and fresh. To me, Yara Moi is a very feminine take on the "just came out the shower" smell with a creamy caramel on the side, and in my opinion it really captivates the middle ground of fresh and sweet. The sillage and longevity are both good as well, it lasts about 6 hours on my skin :) The bottle itself is also very beautiful, which is a huge plus if you are a collector of perfumes and care about the looks of the bootle! <3

I really love my OG Yara, but the description of the notes on this one grabbed me. The super-sweet characteristic of the Yaras, plus woodsy/spicy/patchouli? I can see why some wouldn't like it, but I enjoy this weird juxtaposition of sweet/floral and spicy/earthy. I got her 2nd hand, so she's most likely had time to macerate, too. Loving how it dried down on my skin. Very comforting and cozy. It's surprisingly still pretty strong and noticeable after 4 hours, and it's not very warm where I am right now.

Yara Moi is a caramel bomb to my nose. She's Gorgeous. Out of all the Yaras, Moi is the best. I had this one a year ago and I liked it but didn't love it. At first, I was bothered by that prominent patchouli note. Let me tell you... That patchouli drove my husband crazy. Whoohoo! He is kissing 70 and he went straight wild! I'm in my mid 50s and that reaction really caught me off guard! I'm on bottle number 3. Happy spouse, happy house.
