Rare - Eau de Parfum

Love how the lock- in & dispensing function works

This perfume is so sophisticated! It captures softness, grace, and confidence in every spritz. The fragrance opens with subtle floral notes and settles into a warm, elegant finish which is perfect for both day and evening wear. I love the bottle. It is a simple minimalist glass bottle with gold detailing. Looks great on my vanity. Honestly the first spritz gave me unisex vibes but in a few seconds the perfume turned into a very feminine, delicate and timeless scent. It is perfect for everyday wear. The perfume did have a staying power and lasted a long time. I love the twist-to-lock cap, which makes it great while traveling. It comes in a blush-toned box with elegant botanical accents.

Great bottle and scent longevity could be better

I was gifted this fragrance through the Gloss Angeles Confidential program. The bottle and atomizer are amazing - easy to use and a wide spritz. It will be hard going back to other perfumes! I love the scent - it’s very warm and comforting and dries down beautifully. I , especially can’t wait to wear it in cooler months. The longevity could be better - I did not have a chance to try the layering balms though and am very hopeful they will help with that!

My everyday use

I love everything about this product. The packaging look so luxurious it is so pretty and cute. The smell is so good too, it’s not too strong. And it really last for a day.

The Woody Oak Bundle is simply divine—a deep, earthy embrace that feels sophisticated and comforting. The fragrance balm melts into skin with rich oakmoss, dry woods, and patchouli, while the Rare Eau de Parfum adds layers of creamy vanilla, caramel, pink pepper, ginger, and sandalwood. Together, they create a beautifully complex scent story that’s warm yet edgy. Elegant, long-lasting, and effortlessly luxurious.

Boyfriend said it smelled like sexy vanilla!

Note: I received this product through Gloss Angeles Confidential. Overall I enjoy the fragrance! I will say that I did not think it lasted long on my skin and I used more sprays than I do with other perfumes. However, my boyfriend would say he could smell it linger so maybe it was just me. I liked how warm and comfy it smelled and not overpowering.

Beautiful gourmand scent

Caramel, vanilla, creamy, musky, a little sweet, a little spice, and absolutely delicious! This fragrance is definitely for the gourmand lovers and will be a perfect fall scent. Although, I’ll gladly wear it year round.

Cozy, Sweet, And Comforting!

From the first spritz, Rare wrapped me in a warm, soft hug. It opens with this smooth swirl of pistachio and caramel that feels delicious but not overpowering. As it settles, I get hints of vanilla and ginger with this subtle powdery rose note that’s so comforting and elegant. The dry down is my favorite part — woody, creamy, and skin-like with sandalwood and musks. It wears close but lasts beautifully all day on me. I’ve never had a scent that makes me feel this content and confident at the same time. Definitely a new signature.

Truly a must-have!!!

This scent is perfection! The description includes vanilla and caramel, which is spot on. I've heard some describe it as spicy, which my nose doesn't find, but for this girlie who loves a solid gourmand scent, this is one of the best! Definitely a new favorite, and I CANNOT wait to play with the new layering balms that come out on 8/6! A review of this perfume cannot be complete without mentioning the unique bottle. It is so easy to use, and major props to the Rare Beauty team for coming up with this design in order to help more people be able to apply scent in an easier way. Lastly, shoutout to Glossangeles Confidential for selecting me to be part of the testing!

10/10

I’m usually skeptical when it comes to celebrity perfumes, but saying I’m shocked would be an understatement. I’d honestly put this fragrance in the luxury category. It smells soft and delicate, yet bold and confident at the same time. The notes blend beautifully and sit on the skin in a way that feels expensive. It’s definitely better suited for cooler weather or nighttime wear, it has depth and weight that pairs perfectly with an evening look. I give this one a solid 10/10.

A fragrance wardrobe must

I received this product through Gloss Angeles. Very pleased with how this fragrance hits the right tone of a warm and soothingly sweet product. I very much like the bottle design- travels well, easy to open

Unique Component and Decadent Scent

I was provided the opportunity to try out this product as part of Gloss Angeles Confidential and was very excited to see a new category of product from Rare Beauty. Upon opening the package, I noticed the unique dispensing mechanism which appears to be very well thought out. It fits perfectly in my hand with the divet in the back and I love being able to lock the spraying mechanism to prevent any inadvertent sprays. The packing is very sleek and looks beautiful on my counter. I tend to gravitate towards gourmand scents regardless of the season and was so excited while reading the key notes. The pistachio and vanilla notes really hit the mark and the touch of ginger adds a spicy note to the fragrance. At first application it smells divine but in my experience it has minimal longevity and quickly became a skin scent for the limited time the product lingered. Over about a week I tried wearing the perfume by itself, applying over a parfum primer, apply over and under unscented lotion and it never lasted more than around two hours. Using these techniques with other perfumes I have tend to work. Maybe it’s the pH of my skin and the humid climate and it might last longer using Rare’s new layering balms. I’m disappointed this didn’t work out for me because I love the scent and the price point is decent for the volume of product.

Peppery, Spicy Vanilla

When I first sprayed this I was instantly reminded of a perfume my mom used to wear when I was a kid, California by Jaclyn Smith. Its a scent I haven’t smelled in quite some time and was a very nostalgic experience for me. That being said, it smells much different on the skin. This is a peppery, spicy vanilla that eventually dries down to a pleasant, non-overpowering vanilla that I think most people would really enjoy. The opening notes really do smell unique. Celebrity fragrances always tend to try and appeal to the general public and I think this is no different, but the first hour or so of wear I know I smell different than anyone around me. The only thing I wish was different was how long this lasted on me. I don’t like to be a walking cloud of perfume but I would like there to be more projection to this, it only lasted a few hours on my skin. I’m not sure I’ll immediately repurchase when I run out but I am intrigued by the scent balms Rare is releasing alongside this, something I didn’t know of while testing. Another thing to note is the bottle. The locking mechanism is something I personally haven't seen on a perfume bottle before and it has been great so far, not to mention how beautiful the bottle looks on my vanity while still being functional for people with dexterity issues. Rare always does that very well. Overall I recommend this product. I was gifted this product through GlossAngeles Confidential in exchange for my honest review.
