Glossier You

Glossier You is the real designer fragrance, sold at most major retailers. When one of our partners carries it, a direct buy link shows up here. The "smells-like" alternatives below are for anyone who wants the profile for less.

Glossier You opens with Pink Pepper; a heart of Iris; drying down to Ambrette and Ambroxan, from notes Glossier (official) publishes. Those notes read as powdery, spicy, sweet, amber, musky, the coarse families Glossier (official) cites. How it wears depends on your skin and the concentration. We only publish notes and accords we can trace to a source.

a real 5ml sample is $3.99; the "smells-like" alternatives start around $39.

We rank the "smells-like" alternatives to You by how closely their cited accords match the original, cheapest first. A dupe is meant to evoke You, not match its formula, and we say as much. If we can't verify a genuine match yet, we leave it off.

AromaPassions Identity Extrait de Parfum is the alternative we list first for You, ranked on shared cited accords then price, at $39. Most alternative houses publish no scent profile of their own, so for those we show the original's cited accords rather than claim an independently verified match. It's meant to evoke You, not replicate it, so we link the real bottle first and let you judge for yourself.

Diptyque Fleur De Peau (shares Ambrette, Iris, Pink Pepper); Bond No. 9 Gold Street (shares Ambrette, Iris, Pink Pepper); Parfums de Marly Percival (shares Iris, Ambroxan, Pink Pepper). These share specific notes with You, a closer match than a shared accord family. We rank them by how many of You's cited notes they actually share, weighting rarer notes heavier than ubiquitous ones. Each is its own fragrance with real, sourced notes, not a copy of You, and has its own page.
