Rare Beauty Perfume & Fragrance Layering Balm Review

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 designed to be worn alone or with the Rare eau de parfum to customize the scent to the wearer.
