Yara Candy suits anyone drawn to a sweet, confectionary gourmand — a tart-fruit opening giving way to strawberry candy, gardenia and a warm vanilla-musk base that lingers close to the skin. It's an easy pick for spring and summer daytime wear rather than an evening scent.

Yara Candy opens with sharp blackcurrant and green tangerine, moves into a sugary strawberry-fizz-candy and gardenia heart, then settles into vanilla, musk, amber and sandalwood for a warm, powdery gourmand finish. Fragrantica's community voting (1,408 votes) puts longevity as moderate for the largest group of wearers (53%), with a further 18% calling it long-lasting.
Yara Candy is a 2024 Floral Fruity Gourmand from Lattafa, part of the wider Yara family. Fragrantica's accord breakdown puts vanilla at full strength (100%), with fruity (77%) and powdery (66%) close behind, plus citrus (58%), white floral (52%), an aromatic edge (50%), woody (46%) and a soft musky base (40%). It opens on blackcurrant and green tangerine, moves into a strawberry-fizz-candy and gardenia heart, and settles into a base of vanilla, musk, amber and sandalwood. The overall effect reads sweet and confectionary, closer to a dessert than a floral.
The opening is a burst of tart blackcurrant and juicy green tangerine, bright and juicy rather than sharp. That fades into the strawberry-fizz-candy and gardenia heart, where the sweetness builds and the floral side softens the sugariness. The dry-down brings vanilla, musk, amber and sandalwood together into a warm, powdery finish that stays close to the skin for the rest of wear. Fragrantica voters lean strongly toward daytime wear — 76% log it as a day scent against 24% for evening.
Of 1,408 Fragrantica longevity votes, the largest group (53%) rate Yara Candy's staying power as moderate, with a further 18% calling it long-lasting and 19% finding it weak.

Lattafa markets Yara Candy as a women's fragrance, and Fragrantica's own gender voting agrees strongly — 90% female and a further 7% female-leaning of 1,454 votes, against just 2% calling it unisex. Given how one-sided both the brand framing and the community voting are, FG Perfumes lists it as a women's fragrance rather than defaulting to unisex.
Fragrantica's community voting links Yara Candy most closely to Bint Hooran Rose Passion by Ard Al Zaafaran, suggesting the two share a similar sweet, fruity-floral accord profile. Fragrantica users also flag it alongside Yara Elixir, Lattafa's own vanilla-caramel take from the same Yara family, which FG Perfumes carries in stock for a direct comparison.

Wide range of budget friendly to relatively high end priced perfume brands. Rayhan, Armaf, French Avenue, Brandy, Lattafa just to mention a few. They also sell a 10ml of any brand you like, good for testing before you commit to the whole bottle.
This store reminds me of my days in Dubai. Prices are competitive and most probably the best I have found on the market. Amazing perfumes!
Shahed was very welcoming and friendly… He was knowledgeable about the perfumes and took the time to understand what I was looking for before recommending a fragrance that suited my preferences perfectly.
What a good find! A place where you can smell all the Dubai perfumes. Monique assisted us and she was very helpful. Will see you soon!
Customer service 10/10. Tamzyn helped me she was very nice energetic and helpful… when I heard the price I had to take it. So very affordable in my opinion.
The quality of the fragrances is outstanding. The oils and perfumes are impressive and has longevity… I will definitely be returning and recommending this shop to others.
He was very helpful and friendly as I did not have a clue of what I wanted to get for my mom… It smells very nice. I got compliments at work… I would recommend people to go here.
Lattafa Perfumes started in Dubai in 1980, and the family who founded it still runs the company. Its name comes from the Arabic words for kindness and pleasantness. Lattafa perfumes range from sweet gourmands to bold ouds, at prices well below designer brands.
