Selena Gomez’s scent-sational launch

Rare Eau de Parfum is Rare Beauty’s first foray into fragrance, and it’s already creating a buzz ahead of its August 7 launch. Described as warm, sweet and slightly spicy, the scent blends caramel, pistachio, and pink pepper with heart notes of vanilla and cocoa. It settles into a soft base of sandalwood and musk - basically, it’s sunshine in a bottle.

What makes it even more special? The bottle design is accessibility-first, created in collaboration with hand therapists to ensure everyone can spritz with ease. Selena Gomez really said: beauty for all.

In addition, Rare Beauty is also launching four Fragrance Layering Balms, letting fans create custom scent profiles that feel just as unique as they are.
