True to You
Glossier finally release their newest fragrances
Just Because... | Oct 29, 2024
A scent that will get people asking “What are you wearing?”
By Sylvia Shoshan
Finding a unique scent that feels quintessentially ‘you’ is something that many of us spend years searching for. Something that feels just right, that acts as an extension of our personality, enhancing but never overpowering. You feel us?
With Glossier’s original ‘You’ fragrance, its conceit was to be the perfect skin scent enhancer that still smelled like yourself, but better - a whiff resulting in the question as to whether or not that was your natural scent. It became a cult favourite, and fast forward six years later the brand has finally launched an expansion of their fragrance line with ‘Impressions of You’, putting out not one but two new scents.
Glossier You Doux and Glossier You Rêve have been newly introduced. The former is a serene and woody blend with warmer musky undertones. It opens with a lightly sweet Violet, blended with the woody Palo Santo, Frankincense and Myrrh, elevated by a saltiness in an Ambrox base, “showcasing how strong softness can be.” Corny, yes, but delicious, for sure.
Glossier You Rêve is a gourmand fragrance designed to “capture the rush of you” (again, the marketing speak doesn’t quite translate here, but still). It features rich, sweet notes, opening with decadent Buttercream, evolving into a rich heart of Plum Butter, Toasted Almond, Iris, and white Sandalwood, finally elevated by the salty Ambrox base. It’s reminiscent of a sticky-sweet fever dream.
Both distinctively indulgent, the scents offer a blend of natural warmth together with a freshness in Doux and rich intensity in Rêve. Whether you and your friend choose the same scent, its light approach allows it to feel almost bespoke once combined with your own heat. So smell like you. Just better.
