Rare Beauty Rare Beginnings is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2026. Rare Beginnings opens with Pistachio and Pear, settles into a heart of Jasmine, Gardenia, and Lotus, and dries down to a base of Sugar, Cedar, and Vanilla. Rare Beauty's Rare Beginnings carries a Statement verdict, a sweet-led wear.

A sweet, fruity floral that's sparking a bit of a 'been there, smelled that' vibe. It's pleasant and easy-going but don't expect anything groundbreaking - some find it generic, others an unoffensive daily wear.

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

About

Rare Beginnings opens with a burst of sweet, juicy pear, accented by a hint of creamy pistachio, though some find it elusive. The heart unfolds with a delicate bouquet of jasmine and gardenia, brightened by an aquatic touch of lotus. It settles into a warm, sugary base of vanilla and a subtle cedar whisper, creating a gentle, comforting drydown.
