Rare - Eau de Parfum

Not a caramel vanilla in sight :(

Listen... Im a Selena fan. I love me some RB, but I'm also a fragrance GIRILE. Its like...my specialty, and this does not give what its advertised to give. You think you're getting a creamy, warm vanilla ice cream with caramel drizzle, sitting on a cone of sandalwood ... but it isn't that........at all. It initially made me think of a knock off version of burberry goddess? but with none of that deep vanilla base (or lavender obviously). I think the ginger and pink pepper here are stealing the spotlight unfortunately. There's vanilla in there, but its more of an afterthought versus the star of the show like advertised. If you're hunting cold weather gourmands, I'd skip this entirely. It's more of a sneaky & spicy floral forward with a weird vanilla on the dry down. i got zero caramel from this frag. I'm sure this will be right up some peoples alley, and it clearly is considering the reviews, but I was definitely disappointed. I only have a tiny sample too, so maybe it smells better in the full bottle with time to macerate? But im not giving it that opportunity lol. It's not the fall weather vanilla caramel hug I thought itd be.

Barely There & Only Spicy/Woody Notes…

Love SG and was SO excited for this perfume but after purchasing the travel size to give it a try, it smells nothing like described. There are no caramel and vanilla notes; it smells spicy at first spray and dries down directly into sandalwood and a few minutes later the scent is gone other than nondescript smokey notes. Not sure if others have experienced this, I’m shocked seeing reviews saying this scent is “sweet smelling” and “long lasting”? I even got the Amber Vanilla balm to try alongside and that smell great but the spray sadly dims it. LOVE the accessible packaging on the full size however!!

I understand it now

I love how it starts out floral then it adds a warm vanilla once it drys down. I personally love it. I was confused by the floral at first but now I understand it. I’d definitely buy it again got so many compliments.

Love!

Selena did her thing with this fragrance! It has a caramel scent accompanied by warm ginger and amber notes. I don’t smell much vanilla in it, but it is still a well-balanced fragrance perfect for any occasion

So many compliments.. NEW STAPLE!

I have been waiting for a long time to get people to go out of their way to compliment me and ask me what perfume was wearing and it finally happened to me while wearing this one! Not only once, but multiple times and I’ve only been wearing it for four days. I pair it with the fresh bergamot fragrance balm and it smells so good! not to mention lasts awhile! I put it on at 6:30am and my coworker could still smell me around 4:30pm while only using 3 sprays! Smells lightly sweet and warm, and the bergamot lightens it up nicely and gives it that freshness! Not to mention Selena designed an inclusive bottle for disabilities! You need it!

I’ve smelled this before…

As everyone said, just like Burberry goddess but doesn’t last as long in my opinion I was hoping for more vanilla and caramel in this with some extra spice.

Not Bad, Just Not as Advertised

I don’t want to give this perfume one star because it isn’t awful if you like florals, but the notes are definitely NOT as advertised. There is no caramel or vanilla, just generic smelling floral notes. If you want a gourmand scent, then pass on this one.

Liebe es

Das Parfüm riecht unglaublich gut, elegant und perfekt für den Sommer! Ist auch sehr leicht und frisch. Dennoch ist der Duft wirklich sehr leicht. Eine Leichtigkeit an Süße trägt der Duft auch! Gerne noch mehr Parfüms von Rare Beauty!

Soft sweet and cozy

This scent is a soft vanilla with a hint of caramel on me. It was long lasting and will be great for fall when you want something that feels soft and cozy but a little sexy. I don’t get a lot of floral or sandalwood

Very Average

Cheap knock off of Burberry Goddess. Bottle is cute but if you want to make an investment, buy the real stuff

Dupe for Burberry Goddess

If you like Burberry Goddess, you will enjoy this fragrance. There is literally no difference between the two fragrances. If you don’t want to buy the more expensive version of this scent, buy the Rare Beauty one. However, Burberry Goddess has long lasting power. I did have to reapply this perfumed after a few hours.

Unique but not as described

Tried on in store and decided not to buy. I don’t get any of the notes described. To me this smells more spicy than true warm vanilla caramel. I do get ginger and I liked it the more I wore it but can’t get past initial smell which is like glue.
