Yara

I can understand why some people don't like this fragrance. When I first got it, it was poorly blended, synthetic smelling, and didn't last longer than an hour, even on clothes. I didn't get the Strawberry Milkshake scent that other people were describing. Honestly, it just smelled cheap. I left it to sit on my shelf, checking back occasionally to see if it had gotten any better and then, boom, after over a year of sitting it finally smelled like something I could enjoy wearing. I still don't get the strawberry milkshake that people were talking about, but I do get a soft, sweet, lightly powdery bubblegum fragrance. The longevity has also improved substantially. I sprayed it on my sweatshirt last night before I went to bed then put the same sweatshirt back on this morning and I am still catching whiffs of it every time I turn. Even my husband commented on how good it smelled. He was shocked when I told him it was Yara Pink and that I had sprayed it last night. Now, admittedly, waiting over a year for a perfume to mature is not ideal, but if you're like me and you have a collection, I would just recommend leaving her alone for a while and checking back every now and again. Eventually, she will meld into something quite nice and wearable with a decent silage and longevity. If you're impatient and powdery, bubblegummy scents aren't for you, then I would just skip this one altogether. Overall, I think with time, this is a lovely daily wear perfume and is especially nice as a bedtime fragrance.

Perfume leaves such an impression on people, on the wearer's personality, I'm sure rather subconsciously for those who aren't as enthusiastically invested in perfumery. I like to use some of my scents to guide my encounters, besides matching my feeling of the day of course. I love Yara and wear it for every exam I take. My university exams are like a verbal interrogation, so I am face-to-face with my professors at close range. I genuinely believe it softens the other person's perception of me, like my professors go easier on me or something. It radiates beautifully, it surrounds me as my introduction and enwraps the other person in my comfort bubble. It's sweet and pink, so it leaves the impression of a sweet, feminine girl. It's calm and put together like an inherent, almost goody-two-shoes way. At the same time it's light enough to allow conversation, a smile, even some laughter. I like to literally "assert" my knowledge in a way that is easy to accept. I feel that if I were to wear a more assertively confident perfume I could have been trapped in some trick questions, you know, in a "since you know everything" sort of tone, instead with Yara it just follows to prove that I have studied. I just tried the dark pink Yara and I am sure I'll add it to my collection as well, I swear people's reactions to you change under the influence of some scents. I love the Yara line for that reason. They work on people!

Strawberry? Marshmallow? Milkshake? Where are you?! I bought into the hype after this kept coming up in my Facebook Fragrance group. I read all the reviews on here and got sucked in. Curiosity got my coins. Well let me tell you I don't detect anything gourmand in this fragrance. It smells like generic hand lotion. So if that's what people are calling "creamy" then there it is there. This isn't the kind of sweet, lactonic, "creamy" scent that people hype it up to be. I'm still waiting to find those gourmand accords and "delicious" vanilla.... Feel like I'm going to be waiting for a very long time. I think sometimes people see the color of a bottle or juice and make these assumptions that the fragrance smells like something it doesn't. Case in point this fragrance has a creamy pink container so people say it smells like a strawberry milkshake. Not. At. All. ***UPDATE: I let this sit for a few weeks and I can't believe it but it got so much better. Still don't get strawberries but it is creamy, tropical, and fluffy. I definitely am enjoying it as a bedtime scent. Glad to have it in my collection.

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE. For the price, around 29 euros, you really do not expect much. But this one completely exceeded my expectations for an affordable perfume. At first, I did notice a slightly synthetic edge, and the longevity was not impressive. However, I have come to realize that many Arab perfumes need time to mature. Once you let it age, it truly reaches its full potential. And honestly, it smells nothing like a 30-euro perfume. It is sweet, but also floral, gourmand, and powdery all at once. I love wearing it when I am in a romantic mood. If you can look past the bottle design, this is easily my second favorite perfume of all time. It combines everything I love in a scent. The longevity is also excellent after aging. Is there still a slight synthetic touch? Yes, but at this price point, it is hard to complain. And in any case, that synthetic note fades quite quickly.

This perfume is beautifully constructed. I'm currently on my second bottle of it. It's very sweet with the gourmand notes and tropical fruits but you don't really smell any florals even though there's top nots of orchid and heliotrope. I would describe this scent as a sweet vanilla strawberry. The vanilla and the musk makes it smell very creamy even though there's no cream note and a bit powdery but not in an old lady way, in a very girly way and the sandalwood gives it a woody undertone that adds an additional layer to the fragrance. It smells like what you would imagine a sweet strawberry and vanilla yogurt. This could definitely be a signature scent for a girl in her teens or 20s who wants a perfume that smells very girly, but isn't immature smelling or generic smelling. I think this is an amazing perfume. You can't go wrong with this if you enjoy sweet, girly scents.

This is a comforting scent to me - not a typical gourmand like I would expect, but I suppose strawberry milkshake would be a good likeness. When I smell it, I get more summer, beachy, sunscreen-almost vibes as it reminds me of a warm day spent on a beach towel on the hot sand. I wear it in any season, and find it appropriate for all 4 seasons daytime or before bed. This isn't something I'd wear on a date night, but for cozying up watching movies at home or just wanting to feel comforted during a rainy day indoors, yes! It is one of my absolute favs. Not cloying, not synthetic, excellent longevity, moderate-strong projection. I will always have a bottle of this in my wardrobe.

I have two bottles of this , one that I got from fragantica and smelled like powdery strawberry milkshake, sweet and delicious. A few week later I found a bottle at Marshall’s so I got it as a backup and I left it in my car for touch ups . I sprayed it on for the first time today and this one is very different , it has some of the DNA of my first bottle but this is sexy woody vanilla . I had to double check the bottle to see if this one wasn’t something different . Then I came to the reviews and the last person also described yara as woody vanilla . I guess this perfume changes over time ! Now it make sense why a lot of people are not getting the strawberry vibe from it

I am so confused on this. I got to sprey it from a friend’s bottle about a month ago, and it was heavenly so youthful and sweet that I could bathe in it. I knew I had to get it so I ordered a smaller 50ml bottle from where I usually order but what came was nothing like I remembered. My bottle was a big dissapointment, not sweet, not energetic, just light but soapy and synthetic generic grocery store flower perfume smell. I wish to believe that my friend’s perfume was the right one and I got a bad patch or something bc her’s matches the notes and descriptions so well.

I'm not sure I understand the hype on this one or why anyone would describe it as a strawberry scent (maybe they were confusing it for Yara Candy? 🤨) On me, it is extremely weak and doesn't last more than a body spray would. On my clothes and hair, it has slightly better lasting power but it is still definitely a "skin" scent type fragrance in that case. It mostly translates to an ever so slightly floral, very powdery fragrance to my nose. Nothing particularly mind blowing and definitely far removed from my preferences.

Here to give Yara some serious love. I've just been gifted this. It is so far from what I would choose for myself but I think it is feminine tropical summer in a bottle. I don't care much for the first sweet synthetic spritz, but after 10minutes I get a clean, fruity, slightly creamy 'just out of the shower' scent that is addictive. I like a big perfume in the colder months but this is a dreamy day-to-day summer perfume amd it makes me feel beautiful.

I honestly didn't expect to like this fragrance as much as I did. I originally bought it as a gift for one of my female family members It's incredibly easy to wear. The sweetness is rich and delicious without becoming overwhelming, giving it a truly edible, dessert-like quality. there's none of that harsh, synthetic sweetness that some gourmand fragrances suffer from. The longevity is excellent, and as it develops it becomes even more warm, seductive.

As cheap as yara is, I was hesitant to get it. I wasn't have good luck with the hyped Arabic fragrances they are beautiful but some were just not for me. Yara definitely is! It's very gourmand and so pretty ...a delicious creamy berry and citrus confection...but the dry down is vanilla and musky on me and my favorite part! Smells so amazing. I brought a back up immediately. Finally a hyped fragrances that wasn't a empty promise for me.

This was a blind buy, and I'm delighted. Overall, I get sweet and powder, plus the nostalgic plastic smell of scented erasers from the 80's. It settles into a smooth, pleasant vanilla musk. I don't have this combination in any other thing that I own. It's like the prettiest, nicest, babysitter on her day off. If you like the smell of the Sanrio store, but want to smell like a person instead of a toystore - this is the way.

I've loved her since the day we met. lol. Literally it was love at first sniff. She's reliable, just the right amount of sweet, floral, and fruity...feminine, soft. Not offensive, a safe blind buy IMO. Wish it lasted longer but I just got the roll on! The perfect floral fruity gourmand. She does no wrong in my eyes. lol. I'll sing her praises til I die. Literally so damn good. Was my signature scent for almost a year.

No me había llamado la atención, pero me lo regalaron y me llevé una grata sorpresa, me terminó gustando mucho. A mi novio le encanta como me queda. Es dulcesito pero no me empalaga demasiado, lo siento bastante versátil como para usar casi a diario, hasta me dieron ganas de probar el elixir cuando se me termine este. Me compré un aromatizante de ropa y ambientes que huele bastante similar para combinarlo jjajaj

such a pretty perfume, perfect balance of floral, sweetness, fruity and vanilla creaminess. the only thing is that the sillage and longevity really varies with the different bottles/packaging? the smaller glass bottle is perfect, good lasting power and decent sillage while the pink plastic bottle (the regular packaging) smells so chemical and doesn't last as long. otherwise its a gorgeous perfume.

I'm confused on whether I got a fake. On my 2nd bottle atm, got it off Amazon and it smells completely different than my last bottle. It used to smell much stronger and sweeter and so heavenly but the bottle I have smells like sanitary wipes and just so... faint? and very watered down. I'm disappointed. Maybe it needs time to 'sit' but I've had it for a while now :/

I don't care how many people hates on this, they'll never change my mind. This scent is the color pink mixed with a thick white cream. It's sweet, uplifting, fun and creamy. If barbie had a perfume this would be it. I will never be without this one. It's such an addictive and unique scent. I absolutely love it 💖

I hated this perfume at first and now I love it lol. I was expecting it to be sweeter but months later I realized it’s the perfect sweet. Very tropical fruity and pink-ish. Feminine. This made me realize I was more into fruity sweet scents than gourmand sweet scents. Can use it everyday. I would buy it again.

This is the type of scent that you wear at night, it smells so delicious and creamy! The only issue I have with it is that it does not project that much and the longevity is soooo little. It's good if you're wearing it for a quick "pick-me-up" but don't expect for it to last 8 hours on skin 😩.
