Glossier Perfumes, Ranked

Purple Star emoji 12 items
Glossier is sticking with this whole You perfume thing, but which one of the flankers is best? I do enjoy the original You, but oddly enough I've grown to love the flankers more than the original. I've ranked them below, with more thoughts on each ve...

💐You Fleur 🧂

 Glossier You Fleur is the most recent addition to the Glossier You family. Its listed notes are salt, apricot, ylang-ylang, osmathus, ambroxan, and cashmeran. Overall, it is an airy and beautiful floral, and my favorite from the collection.

Like all of the You perfumes, You Fleur is a sparkling, musky skin scent base of the original You with a layer of salt, ylang-ylang, and apricot added on top. 

The result is a slightly airy creamy yellow floral, and although there is no lavender listed as a note, there is a slightly lavender feel to this scent, and I also detect a very slight element of fig. If you worry about seasons for your perfumes, thi... 

This is something that takes you away to a warmer, lighter place, where your windows are open and gauzy windows blow with a fresh, salty sea breeze, and a vase full of fresh flowers.
Fleur + You

The travel size of You Fleur is a good choice for people who are not sure if they'll like this perfume. You Fleur is a union of fresh springtime florals and summery salty, creamy and tropical scents.

This is a You perfume for floral lovers. As far as florals go, this is a muted version that's appropriate for office wear. It veers almost into tropical land, but it's mostly a non-revolutionary but beautiful nonetheless floral.

🪵 You Doux 🪻

This is the sleeper hit of the Glossier You collection. This is a woody skin scent with sweet violet, palo santo, and ambroxan. A lovely take on the office skin scent classic.

This is a soft, subtle, close to the skin scent. I think of this one as a fragrance you can recommend to somebody who is not sure they want to wear a fragrance because it is really just a clean scent, but on the woody side rather than the laundry sid...
Glossier You Doux

This is a soft, woody, and subtle scent. There's a slight hint of smoke, kind of similar to what you get when walking into a room where incense has been burned. The projection of You Doux is stronger for the first two hours, but it's not likely that ...

You Doux is another example of a scent that is best tried out extensively at home. A travel size spray is a good way to do this at home, and give you some time with the perfume.

🍒🍨 You Rêve

Glossier You Reve is a sweet, nostalgic, plummy and fruity take on the You baselayer. Some people get a cherry note from this perfume, but the official notes are buttercream, plum, almond, iris, sandalwood, ambrette, and ambroxan. Another You flanker...

This is one you need to try on skin to truly enjoy. It is soft and powdery, with an initial blast of pink pepper like all of the You Flankers, but this settles quickly and this turns into a plum scent with a creamy base. Very pleasant perfume and sli...

Try a travel size and test it for several days at home. Generally, it's hard to know if you like a perfume before you do this. It's a great way to spend time with a perfume and figure out if it grows on you.

This is one of the more accessible of the You perfumes. If you have trouble smelling it in the store, make sure to give it a try at home. Many of the You perfumes tend to fill a room, and smelling them inside a busy store is often challenging.

🌬️The Original You ☁️

This scent is a classic for a reason--it's airy, light, inoffensive and appropriate for all occasions. With notes of pink pepper and iris, Glossier You is familiar and comforting. It's a classic for a reason.

The original Glossier You is kind of a gateway for people to get into perfume collecting. It was a groundbreaking perfume when it came out because it was one of the first you-but-better type perfumes. There are many people who claim to always get com...

This is a perfume that depends upon base notes for its longevity. It does not demand attention, but it's a pleasant scent that appeals to nearly everyone. People smelling the original Glossier You for the first time might have trouble smelling it bec...

While I've never been complimented for wearing Glossier You, I do think it's a pretty scent and a great starter scent for people who don't know a lot about perfumes and want to branch out from what they have been wearing. A great option for trying a ...
