Yara Moi

Lattafa Yara Moi, often referred to as "Yara White" due to its bottle color, is a women's fragrance from the popular Lattafa perfume house. It was launched in 2022 as a companion to the original Yara (Yara Pink) and Yara Tous (Yara Yellow). Yara Moi has a different character from its siblings, leaning more towards a sophisticated, creamy, and woody scent rather than a pure gourmand.

Scent and Vibe

Despite the different note lists, many fragrance enthusiasts describe the scent similarly. It is often perceived as a blend of sweet, creamy, and woody notes with a distinct floral heart.

• Opening: The initial spray can be either a crisp mix of pear and citrus or a sweeter, more floral blend of peach and jasmine.

• Heart: The middle notes are typically a creamy white floral accord, often with a hint of sweetness from a gourmand element like caramel or praline, and a nutty warmth from almond.

• Dry Down: The base is where the fragrance settles into its warm, woody, and earthy character. Vanilla, cashmeran, and sandalwood contribute a smooth creaminess, while patchouli adds a subtle earthiness and depth.

Yara Moi is generally considered to be more mature and complex than the original Yara. It's less of a straight-up "strawberry milkshake" and more of a "creamy white floral with a warm, sophisticated base." It's often praised for its versatility, working well for both daytime and evening wear, and is particularly suited for cooler weather due to its warm, comforting dry down.
