Rare Beauty Rare is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2025, created by Jérôme Epinette. Rare opens with Pink Pepper, Pistachio, and Caramel, settles into a heart of Cacao Pod, Ginger, and Vanilla, and dries down to a base of Musk, Sandalwood, and Tonka Bean. Rare Beauty's Rare carries a Favourite verdict, a vanilla-led wear.

This "clean girl gourmand" is a pleasant, comfy vanilla that's an easy reach. Don't expect groundbreaking originality; many say it's basically Burberry Goddess without the lavender. Performance can be a bit of a mixed bag - some find it lasting, others say it fades fast.

Best For:

Also Works:
Office

Its gentle projection and comforting, sweet profile make it an excellent choice for casual wear and dates. While some find its performance strong, its generally softer nature allows for office wear, provided it's applied lightly. It's too sweet for formal settings and far too cloying for sport.

About

Imagine a creamy vanilla ice cream drizzled generously with warm caramel, then subtly spiced with a hint of pink pepper and ginger. As it settles, a soft, fluffy cacao pod and tonka bean sweetness emerges, cocooned in a musky sandalwood base. It's a sweet, warm, and inviting scent without being overly heavy or cloying.
