De Los Santos (Byredo) is my signature scent and You Doux is her more subtle little sister... like an EDT version of an EDP. The violet provides a soft, natural sweetness and the ambrox/ambrette base impart the signature Glossier musky drydown. But the Palo Santo and Frankincense in the mid? MAGIC. It takes me back to meditation & puja in India, ceremony in Perú, sacred sunrise prayers in Bali... honestly, so pretty and refined.
On a technical note, I appreciate that this doesn't go 'pickle' - I hate Santal 33 (and its many dupes) because of the pickle turn. It is definitely woody but stays as an incense/wood scent on my skin. Some reviews have said it reminds of Another 13 and I think that's a better comparison to the Le Labo line.
Definitely not a safe 'blind buy' - I don't think any of the You line are - because the ambrox really does affect how this smells on each person. My mom love OG You (it smells foul on me), my sister loves Rêve (cheap & plasticky to my nose), and I love Doux (mom described it as 'wood chips' lol). But they suit us all differently :)
