Yara Elixir opens on strawberry s'mores and black currant, moves into a jasmine and orange blossom heart, then settles into a dessert-like vanilla, caramel, amber and musk base. Fragrantica's community voting (355 votes) puts longevity as moderate for the largest group of wearers, with a further quarter calling it long-lasting.
Yara Elixir is a 2025 Oriental Vanilla release from Lattafa. It opens on Strawberry S'mores and Black Currant — Fragrantica's accord breakdown puts vanilla at 100% strength and caramel at 94%, so the sweetness is there from the very first spray instead of building up gradually, with the fruity accord (60%) giving the black currant its tart, berry-skin edge against all that sugar. The heart brings Jasmine and Orange Blossom, registering as the white floral accord (73%) — this is what keeps the composition reading as a perfume rather than straight confectionery, adding a waxy, honeyed lift over the caramel. The base is Vanilla, Caramel, Amber and Musk: amber (50%) and musky (46%) round out the sweetness with warmth and skin-closeness, while a powdery quality (60%) softens the final effect. Sweetness (72% strength on the sweet accord) is the throughline from top to base.
The opening is bright and dessert-forward — the strawberry s'mores note reads almost gourmand, with black currant cutting some of the sugar. Within the first hour the jasmine and orange blossom heart comes through, softening the fruit into something more floral and less overtly sweet. From there it dries down into the vanilla-caramel-amber-musk base, where the powdery quality takes over and the scent sits close and warm against the skin for the rest of wear. Fragrantica voters lean toward daytime wear — 56% log it as a day scent against 44% for evening, a fairly even split rather than a strong lean either way.
Of 355 Fragrantica longevity votes, the largest group (49%) rate Yara Elixir's staying power as moderate, with a further 26% calling it long-lasting, 13% weak, 8% very weak and 5% eternal. Sillage tracks similarly: of 334 votes, 59% describe its projection as moderate, 24% as strong, 13% as more intimate and skin-close, and 4% as enormous. Fragrantica community voting. See the full breakdown.
Season votes cluster in the cooler months — autumn (28%), winter (28%) and spring (28%) sit almost level with each other, with summer trailing well behind at 16%. It reads as a scent for the cooler and transitional months, with peak summer heat clearly the weaker fit.
Lattafa markets Yara Elixir as a women's fragrance, and Fragrantica's gender voting agrees strongly — 87% female and a further 8% female-leaning of 370 votes, with unisex and male readings each under 3%. FG Perfumes lists it as a women's fragrance in line with this weight of voting.
Fragrantica's community voting links Yara Elixir most closely to Yum Boujee Marshmallow 81 by Kayali Fragrances, suggesting a shared marshmallow-vanilla-gourmand character. Within Lattafa's own line, Yara Candy sits in similar territory for anyone who wants to stay with the same brand, and it's in stock at FG.

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.
