Selena Gomez's fragrance bottle designed with help from rehab facility and hand therapists, Entertainment News
Selena Gomez's fragrance bottle was designed with the help from a rehab facility and hand therapists. The Only Murders in the Building actress' Rare Beauty brand will launch Rare Eau de Parfum next week. Because of the dexterity issues she suffers with as a result of auto-immune condition Lupus, Selena wanted to make sure the packaging was inclusive so she brought in experts, including the Casa Colina clinic, engineers and certified hand therapists, to offer input on the design. She told WWD: "I have dexterity problems from my lupus, so sometimes it's hard for me to open a bottle of water or do anything. "Sometimes I've had to use a spray and, like, put both my fingers on it. It's not as sad as it sounds. I'm alive, and that's all that matters." The 33-year-old star quietly tested the fragrance personally and used everyday moments to obtain reactions to the scent. She explained: "It was really funny, because sometimes I would accidentally — I would accidentally or purposefully, I should say — get close to people and see if they could smell anything. "I would just flat out ask everyone I was around. I would tell them what it is, and say, 'What do you think?'" Selena — who is engaged to Benny Blanco — wanted to reflect her contentment in both her personal and professional lives with the fragrance. She said: "Some of my best memories were when I was creating this, in our little test tube, when I got engaged, when I got to celebrate my birthday, 32nd birthday. "It was just something that made me feel like a piece of me. And I wanted everyone to enjoy it. I was hoping that it would embody the place of life that I'm in." Although Rare Beauty hasn't released a fragrance before, Selena released two scents through a partnership with Adrenalina Inc. when she was just 19 years old but she doesn't "even remember" what they were like. She reflected: "I was so young. "The sweetest thing — a few months ago, [I saw] someone had saved the box that my [first] fragrance was in. It's so long ago, I couldn't help but laugh, because it had just been a trying time in my life where I really was trying hard to be cool. "I don't even remember what it smells like. I don't think it would be anything I'd wear now. This is definitely more me." [[nid:720486]]

Selena Gomez introduces Rare Eau de Parfum as Rare Beauty's first fine fragrance
Selena Gomez is bringing her signature vision of confidence, comfort and emotional connection to the world of fragrance. On August 7, the Rare Beauty founder will launch Rare Eau de Parfum, the brand's first fine fragrance, available at and select global retailers. The debut marks a new chapter for Rare Beauty, building on the success of its body-care line and expanding its universe into scent. Described as 'warm and decadent with a touch of spice,' the scent opens with notes of caramel, pistachio, and pink pepper, transitions into a heart of vanilla, ginger, and cocoa, and finishes with a drydown of sandalwood, tonka bean, and skin musks. The fragrance is designed to evolve over 12 hours, offering a balance of comforting familiarity and unexpected depth. Gomez said she 'wanted to create a scent that could evolve with the moment,' adding that it transitions effortlessly 'from quiet mornings at home to a night out with my friends.' Designed with accessibility in mind, the fragrance bottle was developed in collaboration with hand therapists to feature an ergonomic pump for ease of use. This design reflects Gomez's long-standing focus on inclusive, user-friendly beauty tools. Rare Eau de Parfum will also be available with four fragrance layering balms: Amber Vanilla, Floral Peony Blossom, Fresh Bergamot, and Woody Oak. These are designed to personalize the scent experience and allow wearers to adapt the fragrance throughout the day. Rare Beauty is known for its vegan, cruelty-free formulations and mission-driven philosophy. As part of the launch, the brand is pledging 1% of global fragrance sales to the Rare Impact Fund, which supports youth mental health initiatives. Priced at $75 for a 50 mL bottle, Rare Eau de Parfum will be offered worldwide starting this August through and Sephora.

Selena Gomez Launches Rare Beauty Perfume
Rare Beauty is at it again, releasing game-changing products in a market that feels hard to innovate in like there Soft Pinch Liquid Blush and Tinted Lip Oils. With Rare Eau de Parfum, Selena Gomez's brand has stepped into the world of fine fragrance for the first time, and I haven't been so impressed with a celebrity perfume in years. Team Cosmo UK was lucky enough to get our hands on the much-anticipated launch over two months ago to test it before it hit shelves. So yes, I've been carrying around this little vial of top-secret juice for weeks, fibbing whenever someone asks me, 'You smell great, what are you wearing?' And now, finally, we can spill the tea. So, below I'm sharing my thoughts on the new launch that hits Sephora on August 7. A full size bottle (50ml) will retail for $75, but the scene will also be available for purchase in a travel size (10mil) for $30. Grown-up, yet girlish and feminine without the need to be floral. To me, it smells like nuzzling into a fuzzy knit co-ord set that already has some of your favorite perfume on it from the last time you had it on. On first spray, and when you sniff it in the bottle, it really smells quite sweet—you can only overwhelmingly smell the caramel, pistachio and vanilla melding together and while it really smells like a fun, youthful bubble bath, I immediately thought I would hate it. If I were to judge it by its opening notes only, this would be an entirely different review. As it settles in, though, the sandalwood really pulls through, and it becomes a scent you will be obsessed with. It wears really well on me, as time passes it becomes a scent I like more and more throughout the day, to the point that I feel a little reluctant to re-spray, in case it ruins what the scent has become. A note on projection, now I don't think anyone was expecting a #beastmode type of perfume from our girl Selena, but in case you were wondering this is a personal fragrance. When people would comment on my scent, it would be when they reached in for a hug, not when I walked into a room. Thanks to the pink pepper at the top and the skin musks at the base, it has a real sense of Glossier You about it, and the buttercream that specifically gives Glossier You Rêve that lingering vanilla sweetness is super similar in Rare Eau de Parfum. Beauty can be so slapdash when it comes to inclusivity, and especially when it comes to accessibility being top of mind during product creation. But, for this launch, the team worked with a certified hand therapist and a team of packaging engineers to create an ergonomic fragrance bottle that makes dispensing the bottle comfortable for those with dexterity issues.
