Yara
A wildly popular sweet feminine gourmand centered on orchid, heliotrope, and a creamy tahitian vanilla-sandalwood base. Yara became a social-media sensation for its cozy, milky sweetness at an unbeatable price.
Yara opens on Orchid and Heliotrope, moves through Orange Blossom and Jasmine, and dries down to Tahitian Vanilla and Sandalwood. At $20 - $32 it is which makes it an easy budget pick, with long lasting (8h - 12h) on skin. Sample before you commit — it is loud and polarising rather than crowd-safe.
