When you’re ready, come and get it — if it’s not sold out by then.

Selena Gomez’s Rare Beauty is no stranger to creating major buzz (and clearing the Sephora shelves) with fresh launches — and its first-ever fragrance, Rare Eau de Parfum, is no exception.

“Some of my best memories were when I was wearing this scent from a little test tube, like when I got engaged or my 32nd birthday,” the beauty mogul told Harper’s Bazaar. “It’s something that felt like a piece of me.”

While the travel set is already out of stock at Rare, the full-sized bottle and mini roll-on are both still available for now. (Perhaps some of her “Only Murders in the Building” co-stars are among those buying in bulk; she said someone on set complimented the “unreal” fragrance when it was still in the testing phases.)

Billed as a warm and spicy gourmand blend, the signature scent combines key notes of caramel, vanilla and sandalwood, with hints of pistachio and ginger.

Since it’s well, rare to find a truly universal fragrance, we had several staffers test out the new scent to see if it’s worth the hype. Read on for our honest thoughts.

“I was surprised that the perfume smelled totally different on everyone who wore it. On me, it pulled very vanilla, but on others it was more spicy or even citrusy. I really like perfumes that have vanilla in them, so I was a fan of ‘my’ final fragrance.”
