Yara

Bottom Line

Yara is a fun, flirty fragrance. It's for the girl (or guy) who loves unapologetically sweet scents and wants to make a statement without breaking the bank. If you want Poison Girl's refined elegance, save your money. But if you want a similar vibe with a youthful, loud twist – and you don't mind a synthetic edge – Yara is a steal.

Scent Breakdown

Yara arrives like a sugary rush – that bitter orange/lemon combo is dialed way up compared to Poison Girl. It's initially sharper, a bit more synthetic, lacking the Dior's smoother citrus finesse. The heart leans heavily into that candy-sweet orange blossom. The roses are there, but they're playing backup to the orange groves. As it settles, the vanilla/almond base emerges, aiming for that creamy, gourmand vibe of Poison Girl. It gets close… maybe 87% of the way? It's missing Dior's signature depth, the almost boozy, dark cherry facet. This is the sweeter, brighter, less complex cousin.

Projection Power

This stuff sticks around. On my skin, I get a solid 6 hours, maybe a bit more. The projection is initially strong, filling a room for the first hour, then gradually mellowing to a moderate scent bubble. It's definitely noticeable. Overspraying? A recipe for a saccharine headache.
