With two new Glossier fragrances launching today after a seven-year wait, it’s the perfect time to revisit the brand’s original, subtle “skin scent.” Loved for its understated, personal touch, Glossier You is the scent that whispers rather than shouts. Let’s break it down in this Glossier You perfume review.
What is Glossier You?
Glossier You is a soft, skin-like fragrance that blends musky, slightly sweet, and powdery notes. Designed to adapt to your body chemistry, it creates a personal scent that stays close to the skin rather than projecting outward. It’s subtle, feminine, and perfect for everyday wear, though it has minimal longevity and sillage.
Longevity and Sillage
When it comes to lasting power, Glossier You doesn’t stay around for long. After just a few hours, it fades, requiring a mid-day reapplication. The sillage (that lovely scent trail perfumes leave behind) is also minimal. This fragrance clings closely to the skin and doesn’t leave much of an impression once you walk away.
In my opinion as a perfume collector, this is like the weaker version of Diptyque’s Fleur de Peau, which lasts longer and makes a bolder statement, Glossier You feels more like a light breeze rather than a gust of wind. It’s cozy and familiar, but not meant to steal the spotlight.
Packaging
True to Glossier’s signature minimalist aesthetic, they kept the bottle simple yet modern. Made from translucent pink glass, it feels chic and easy to hold. The bright red cap adds a playful touch without being over-the-top, keeping the overall vibe fun but subtle.
Price
At roughly $78 or PHP5000 for 50 mL (they raised the price) and $112 or PHP7200 for 100 mL, Glossier You offers a relatively affordable price. Given the brand’s reputation and the premium ingredients used, it feels like a good deal for those who want a go-to scent without splurging on luxury brands. However, if you prefer stronger, longer-lasting perfumes, the constant need to reapply might make it feel less worth the cost over time. If you don’t want to commit to a full bottle yet, you can try their 8 mL bottle or a 2 mL decant from Shopee. Or try the solid perfume version which costs $35 or Php300 from a Shopee reseller. But I haven’t tried the latter yet.
Glossier You Perfume Review: Final Verdict
For those who enjoy soft, skin-close fragrances, Glossier You delivers a beautiful blend of femininity, musk, and light sweetness. It doesn’t last long or carry far, but that’s its strength—it’s designed to be a personal scent that stays close to you. As Glossier launches two new perfumes today, we’ll see if they’ve dialed up the lasting power in their new scents, but Glossier You still holds its place as a fan favorite for those seeking something subtle and intimate.
VERDICTMY THOUGHTSGlossier You is perfect for everyday wear and for those who don’t want an overpowering fragrance and it easily pairs with other perfumes for a unique, personal scent. However, it fades within a few hours, so you’ll need to reapply throughout the day. It stays close to the skin, which won’t suit those looking for a more noticeable fragrance.PROSSubtle and VersatileLayerableChic PackagingCONSPoor LongevityLow Sillage4PRODUCT RATINGWhere to Buy?Glossier WebsiteShopee Philippines""""""""
