... Read moreYou know that feeling when you find a treasure you've been looking for? That's exactly how I felt when I stumbled upon not just one, but three of the Lattafa Yara concentrated perfume oils at Marshalls! If you saw my original post, you know I was so excited I ran back there a second time. It was an absolute steal to find the beautiful pink 'YARA', the vibrant red 'YARA Candy', and my personal favorite, the elegant white 'YARA Moi', all in their signature 20 ML bottles. These pure concentrated perfume oils are truly something special.
Now, I know many of you are probably wondering, especially if you're in the Philippines, how to get your hands on these captivating scents and what kind of price you can expect. While my Marshalls finds were a lucky strike in the U.S., the good news is that Lattafa fragrances, including the popular Yara line, are widely available internationally, and that includes the Philippines!
When you're looking for Lattafa Yara Moi perfume oil, or its sisters Yara and Yara Candy, in the Philippines, your best bet will typically be reputable online marketplaces. Think Lazada and Shopee – they often have various sellers offering Arabian perfumes. It's crucial to check seller reviews and ensure they are selling authentic products. Sometimes, local perfume boutiques that specialize in Middle Eastern fragrances might also carry them.
As for the price, it can vary quite a bit. Because these are imported, factors like shipping costs, customs duties, and retailer markups will influence the final cost. Generally, for a 20 ML pure concentrated perfume oil like Yara Moi, you might see prices ranging from PHP 800 to PHP 1,500, or sometimes a bit more depending on the seller and current import situation. While this might be a little higher than what you'd find in the US (especially if you snagged it at a discount store like Marshalls!), many still consider it excellent value for money given the quality and longevity. Always compare prices from a few different trusted sellers before making a purchase.
What makes these Yara perfume oils so sought after? Let's talk scents! 'YARA Moi' is often described as a beautiful blend of tropical fruits, jasmine, peach, and caramel, drying down to a creamy, musky base. It's sophisticated yet playful. The original 'YARA' (the pink one) is famous for its sweet, tropical strawberry and tangerine notes, with a warm vanilla and musk finish – truly a crowd-pleaser! And 'YARA Candy' (the red box from my haul) is a gourmand lover's dream, with notes of caramel, vanilla, and sweet fruits that are just irresistible. These are not your typical alcohol-based sprays; their concentrated oil form means they last for hours and project beautifully without being overwhelming. A little dab goes a long, long way!
When buying, always look for the distinctive packaging, like the elegant Arabic script and floral patterns on the boxes shown in my pictures. Make sure the seals are intact. If you're buying online, don't hesitate to ask the seller for actual photos of the product and its batch code if you're concerned about authenticity. Finding your perfect Lattafa Yara scent can be a delightful journey, and while my Marshalls adventure was unique, I hope these tips help you track down your own beloved Yara perfume oil in the Philippines! Happy scent hunting!
