Lattafa Yara : Unpopular opinion
I tried my best to like this. And to make it like my skin. But I spectacularly failed each time I made an attempt to get to know it (and that is quite a number of times).
The opening is fruity with a synthetic edge to it. After a while the fruity note disappears and what I can smell is one of those pink antacid syrups. Yes, this feels like a stronger version of Gelusil gel minus the minty taste of the syrup.
The drydown is a cross between a make-up store and Gelusil. It’s sweet and chalky (not powdery). It remains like that for hours.
Yes, it is well macerated. I have had it sitting in my cabinet for months. And yes, I didn’t get a bad decant. I had that doubt and tried it out from a friend who has a full bottle. And that too is Gelusil gel for me, whereas she likes it.
Conclusion: Not for me. I have the Yara Candy as well and that is so much better than this.
PS: To those who love this, please understand that this is purely my opinion. You love some, you don’t like some, and that’s the way it is for all of us.
