You - like you only different
Glossier - one of the millenial brands that have totally gone through the roof, whether deserved or not, this fragrance has been all over social media for quite some time and so I had to get my hands on it somehow. Luckily a friend was able to send me my Glossier order and so I got to enjoy Glossier you.
1. Fragrance notes
Iris root, ambrette, pink pepper, ambroxan and musk
Admittedly no idea how iris root, amorette and ambroxan smell individually, but still wanted to review the scent and the notes I get out of it with you.
For me, the pink pepper comes out right away because it adds a certain spiciness to an otherwise very simple, warm scent that makes the scent a little lighter and not too tart.
Then I smell the musk out, quite different from This is her! by Zadig & Voltaire, which goes for me in a very similar direction as You (hence the comparison) - I smell here a tartness and spice. Don't get me wrong the scent isn't really spicy, but has a warmth to it and I think that's exactly what everyone loves about it. Yes it smells like musk, but somehow not because it's very elusive, but not because it's complex but because it's totally simple, but somewhere also not because it's just so attackable and you just want to say wow that's great enough. As you can see it is super hard to describe the fragrance.
What you have to say about it, according to Glossier, the fragrance should develop with everyone a little differently
2. Comparison to This is her!
This will certainly find many as very controversial, but for me both perfumes go in a very similar direction, because both are very warm, creamy, slightly woody and yet subtly sweet fragrances. I wear both scents exclusively on cold days, especially when I want to feel cozy and snuggled in.
You has but apart from the iris and pink pepper not sweetish and therefore more tart than This is her!
If I now throw this is us! by Z&V in the room so you is in the middle, This is her! is even creamier and sweeter and This is us! much more tart and not quite as creamy-warm as its distant relatives.
3. Sillage, Projection & Longevity
The sillage is now no 5m far, but even if you use the fragrance sparingly (as I do, because you do not get it here) you will smell him as soon as you walk past one (I would say so 1-2,5m far). The projection is accordingly also very good.
Now to the durability and here You beats many of my other fragrances, because he keeps incredibly long, especially in clothes, because he settles sooo insanely well in textiles even if you have not sprayed them off. On me You holds loose 12 hours and on clothes until the next wash.
4. Flacon
The bottle does not knock me off my socks now, but fits well to the brand and their Aesthetics.
5. Hand cream
Here I wanted to go briefly on the hand cream of Glossier, this smells namely just like You, I love the packaging of the hand cream (even if the closure does not remain well closed) but must say that it is almost too strongly perfumed me, otherwise very good, it is absorbed well, cares is not too silicone.
All in all, a great fragrance that is hard to define but still has something about it so you can wear it up and down. Would repurchase it too, but that's proving difficult as the brand is still holding on to its over-hyped exclusivity.
