Rare Beauty’s First Perfume Is Here — Meet Your New Signature Scent?

Published on by LeeLeave a comment

It’s Here: Rare Beauty’s First-Ever Perfume Just Dropped — And It’s Everything

Rare Eau de Parfum has officially arrived, and yes, Selena Gomez delivered. Think warm, soft, and delicious — the kind of scent that wraps you up like a cozy hug. But this isn’t just about smelling good. True to Selena’s vision, Rare Beauty’s debut fragrance is all about inclusivity and intention.

The bottle? Thoughtfully designed for everyone, including those with limited mobility. The experience? Totally customizable — layer it with balms, play with scent combos, and make it your own.

Selena said it best: “I wanted to create a fragrance that could evolve with the moment.” And just like that, your new signature scent might’ve found you.

It Smells Like Dessert… with a Side of Mystery 🍨✨

Rare Eau de Parfum is all about contrast — sweet, cozy, and just a little unexpected. It opens with dreamy notes of caramel, pistachio, and vanilla (yes, it smells edible), then melts into something deeper with warm ginger and creamy sandalwood. Basically, it’s a dessert — but make it grown and mysterious.

And the genius behind the scent? Jérôme Epinette — the same perfumer behind Byredo and Sol de Janeiro — so you know it’s going to hit.

To take things even further, Selena launched four Fragrance Layering Balms: Amber Vanilla, Floral Peony Blossom, Fresh Bergamot, and Woody Oak. Wear them solo or layer with the perfume to dial up certain vibes, play with texture, or boost staying power. Your scent, your rules.

Fragrance for All — Thoughtfully Designed, Beautifully Inclusive

Selena didn’t just want Rare Eau de Parfum to smell amazing — she wanted everyone to be able to enjoy it. That’s why the bottle was co-created with hand therapists and ergonomic experts, designed specifically for those with limited mobility, including conditions like arthritis or lupus. For Selena, this was personal — her own journey with lupus deeply shaped how she approaches beauty and self-care.

Rare Beauty has already led the way with accessible design — like the soft, easy-to-use applicator on their viral liquid blush. Now, they’re taking that same care into the world of fragrance, where accessibility is often overlooked.

Rare Eau de Parfum and its dreamy Layering Balms officially launch at Sephora on August 6. So yes — soon, you can smell like Selena, your way.

✨ Selena Gomez Just Dropped Her First Perfume — and It Smells Like a Core Memory ✨

Published on by Lee1 Comment

The Vibe? Think…
• Sweet and woodsy — a scent with depth, designed to feel personal and wearable
• Rare Beauty’s mission of emotional, accessible beauty bottled up
• A fragrance that feels like nostalgia, self-love, and a moment you’ll never forget

Leave it to Selena Gomez to turn her first fragrance into something more than just a scent — Rare Eau de Parfum is a memory in a bottle. As the debut perfume from Rare Beauty, it captures everything we love about the brand: thoughtful, emotional, and made to feel personal.

Crafted with renowned perfumer Jérôme Epinette (the nose behind Byredo favorites), Rare is sweet yet grounded — think creamy caramel and pistachio with a pop of pink pepper, softened by notes of ginger, vanilla, and skin musk, and finished with a dreamy haze of sandalwood and tonka bean. The vibe? A wedding-day fragrance meets your everyday signature — elegant, comforting, and unforgettable.

Selena reportedly wore Rare for her 32nd birthday, while developing the scent, and during her recent engagement to Benny Blanco. It’s more than perfume — it’s the scent of her favorite moments, and now, it can be part of yours.

Romantic. Real. Rare. Let’s dive into the scent that’s about to take over vanities everywhere.

Selena Thought of Everything — Down to the Last Detail 💫

When it comes to beauty with purpose, Selena Gomez doesn’t miss. Knowing firsthand how important accessibility is — especially for those living with autoimmune conditions — she ensured that Rare Eau de Parfum was designed to be both functional and beautiful. With help from certified hand therapists, the bottle was crafted to feel easy, comfortable, and luxe in your hand — no fussy spritzers, just a sculptural design that’s as chic on your vanity as it is effortless to use.

And because personalization is the new luxury, Rare didn’t stop at the perfume. Launching alongside it? Four Fragrance Layering Balms that let you create your own signature scent moment:
• Floral Peony Blossom
• Amber Vanilla
• Fresh Bergamot
• Woody Oak (Selena’s go-to for an after-shower ritual that feels indulgent yet low-key)

Wear them solo or layer with Rare Eau de Parfum for a scent that’s uniquely you. It’s all about self-expression, softness, and rituals that feel real — exactly what we expect from Rare Beauty.

Rare Moments, Real Meaning 💖

For Selena Gomez, this perfume isn’t just a fragrance — it’s a reflection of her life, her health journey, and the values at the heart of Rare Beauty. From the beginning, Rare has stood for inclusivity, intention, and emotional connection — and Rare Eau de Parfum continues that mission in the most personal way yet.

This is more than scent — it’s self-expression with soul. The design, the story, the feel — every detail was made with care. And behind it all is the Rare Impact Fund, which has already raised $20 million in just five years to support mental health initiatives through 30 nonprofits worldwide. With the launch of Rare’s first fragrance, the community is invited to connect on an even deeper level — through scent, memory, and purpose.

Selena’s choice to lead with vulnerability and meaning makes this so much more than just a perfume. From the way it sits comfortably in your hand, to the way it stirs emotion, to the campaign’s raw and real storytelling — Rare Eau de Parfum feels intimate, powerful, and quietly revolutionary.

Yes, it’s beautiful on your vanity — but more importantly, it’s a reminder that beauty can be meaningful. And that’s always been the Rare way.

So, whether you’re layering it for a moment that’s all your own or spritzing it on before stepping into your day, Rare Eau de Parfum is more than a scent — it’s a feeling, a memory, a mood.

Because the most beautiful moments? They’re the ones that feel real, intentional, and uniquely yours.

💫 Romanticize your rituals. Celebrate your Rare moments. 💫

DISCOVER DOSSIER PERFUMES NEW WORLD OF FRAGRANCE ONLINE

Published on by Lee2 Comments

Even before COVID-19 shuttered shops, online retail was replacing storefronts. Many people still wanted to feel the fabrics of their garments or take a few steps in their shoes before committing. Fragrances were another in-person must. Stopping to sample a new perfume and take it for a spin around the mall is a memory of a bye-gone era. Picking up a bottle of your favorite perfume duty-free is almost an act of self-care on a long layover. Dossier brings the best memories of discovering new perfumes to the ease of online retail.

There’s a new way to shop for your signature scent.

To minimize returns, a key ingredient of any sustainability strategy, Dossier sells samples so customers can try the perfume before opening the full-size version. They also include samples of new fragrances with purchases. Dossier’s products boast sustainability, shipping in 100% recycled and recyclable packaging as well as 100% recycled glass bottles. They have managed to reduce their plastic use to all but the pump in samples. Most importantly, the products themselves are clean, vegan, and cruelty-free, with “no nasty, useless, or harmful ingredient.”

Because many Dossier scents are inspired by familiar and famous scents. Making the switch from your favorite floral designer fragrance like YSL Libre, for example, is an easy way to make your daily routine more sustainable. What’s more, starting at $29 (less than one-third the price of their designer inspiration) Dossier perfumes are by far the more cost-effective choice.

Perfume, the essential of the morning routine!

Published on by Lee2 Comments

Happy Friday! Can’t believe we’re almost done with 2022 already. We are hoping things slow down a bit so we can enjoy more of the year 2022!

Putting on fragrance is part of our morning routine. Even when we never left the house during quarantine. haha, we were super excited to try out Dossier fragrances. They are inspired by luxury designer scents but have a much more affordable price point.

We decided to try one inspired by Marc Jacobs’ Daisy, called FLORAL VIOLET. We still had some in a sample-size bottle of Daisy so we could compare the two. We put a spritz on each wrist. In the bottle, they smell different but once they dry on your skin, they smell identical.

It’s somehow both creamy and powdery at the same time, sweet without being too sweet, and simply gorgeous. This is perfect for any teenager; the scent isn’t too strong and isn’t too mature for the young ones. It’s a beautiful vanilla/violet that doesn’t overload the senses. It’s somehow both creamy and powdery at the same time, sweet without being too sweet, and simply gorgeous.

The other perfume we tried is the CITRUS GREEN APPLE, inspired by D&G’s Light Blue. We haven’t had it in a few years, but it smells exactly how we remember the D&G’s Light Blue in the bottle and on. This scent reminds you of summer in Italy or Spain all year long. The scent is fresh, airy, and sweet and you automatically smell the citrus. It is many people’s faves.
