Lattafa Yara Candy

Gourmand EdPs from the Gulf houses rarely aim for subtlety, and Yara Candy by Lattafa Perfumes is entirely comfortable with that. Released in 2024 as a sweeter, more playful companion to the original Yara, it leans hard into fruit and sugar and makes no apologies for it. Where the original Yara is a softer floral musk, this one cranks the candy dial up several notches, resulting in an unabashedly edible Eau de Parfum built for women who want exactly that. Aromatica carries the Lattafa Yara Candy price in Bangladesh across all available sizes.

The Scent

Right from the first spray, black currant and green tangerine arrive together, giving something brighter and slightly tart rather than flat sugarwater sweetness. The tangerine has a fizzy, almost carbonated quality on skin in those first few minutes, the kind of brightness that feels more sparkling water than orange slice. Black currant brings a deep berry darkness that stops the citrus from going too light or veering into generic citrus-cologne territory. There is a slight tartness to this combination that keeps the opening grounded and stops it from smelling like a sugar rush before the heart even arrives. The two top notes play off each other with a push-and-pull tension: the tangerine pushes bright and airy while the black currant pulls toward depth and darkness, and that friction is what makes the first phase more interesting than a straightforward fruity opener. Within five to ten minutes, the strawberry fizz candy note begins rising into the heart, and this is where the fragrance earns its name. It smells genuinely like strawberry hard candy, the kind with a faintly sour shell and a sweet centre, not like fresh strawberries or strawberry jam. It can read intensely sweet and candy-shop obvious, or charming and addictive rather than cloying, depending on skin chemistry and personal tolerance for gourmand sweetness. The fizz accord within the strawberry note is a deliberate detail that keeps referencing the carbonated character introduced by the tangerine up top, so the fragrance has more internal consistency than you might expect from something so overtly fun.

That throughline of effervescence from the top note all the way into the heart gives the composition a sense of narrative continuity, almost like a story told in bubbles. Gardenia sits underneath the strawberry through this middle phase, and it does important structural work. It adds a soft, faintly creamy floral backdrop that keeps the candy accord from reading as a one-note sugar bomb. The gardenia does not announce itself loudly at any point, but remove it mentally and the heart would feel considerably flatter and more one-dimensional. As the fragrance dries down into the base, the vanilla and amber warm things considerably. The vanilla is the milky, slightly sweet kind rather than sharp or boozy, and it begins softening the strawberry fizz into something more blended and skin-like. Amber adds a golden, resinous glow that deepens the composition and gives the base genuine weight. Sandalwood contributes a faint creaminess and a mild woodiness that rounds out the sweetness without pushing the dry-down into anything approaching dry or austere. The musk keeps everything close to skin in the final hours, making the late dry-down feel intimate and warm rather than projecting the candy blast of the earlier phases. The overall arc moves from bright and tart to sweet and effervescent to soft and creamy, which is a more interesting progression than the opening might suggest.

When to Wear

Yara Candy is made for spring and summer, especially casual daytime outings, shopping trips, or social gatherings where a cheerful, sweet cloud of scent fits the mood. It also works well for relaxed evenings with friends, particularly for those who gravitate toward the gourmand and sweet end of the fragrance spectrum.

Who Is It For

Women who wear their sweetness without apology will find an immediate home here -- those who grew up loving fruit-candy scents and want something in that world that performs like a proper EDP rather than a body spray. Pick up a decant to sample the full arc from tart opening to creamy dry-down on your own skin before investing in all available sizes.

If you enjoy the original Yara, Yara Candy sits in the same family but pushes deeper into the gourmand direction and is a natural comparison. Browse the full Lattafa collection at Aromatica to explore more from the house.
