When Selena Gomez announced her debut fine fragrance for Rare Beauty, I was intrigued and cautiously optimistic. I’m a genuine fan of the brand and admit that there isn’t a Rare product that I haven’t tried and loved. Described as a “warm, spicy scent” with notes of vanilla, caramel and sandalwood, the scent intrigued me. It’s admittedly hard to judge a fragrance from an on-paper description alone but I was eager to test it nonetheless. Perhaps most notably, Rare Beauty also announced an accompanying suite of fragrance layering balms (currently out of stock in the UK) designed to be worn alone or with the Rare eau de parfum to customise the scent to the wearer.
