Glossier girlies, buckle up! When the millennial pink-toned beauty brand first launched its debut fragrance Glossier You towards the end of 2017, the ambrette- and ambroxan-based scent became a fast favourite for its delicate notes that work with the natural chemistry of your skin. At a time when heady fragrances reigned supreme, Glossier You turned the tides and propelled the ‘skin scent’ category forward.

Now, Glossier is introducing two new fragrances to its lineup, You Rêve and You Doux. The duo of newcomers will join the original Glossier You to form a category titled ‘Impressions of You’. Like the original, You Rêve and You Doux are both touted as ‘skin scent enhancers’, retaining the ambrette seed and ambrox base of the original (as well as its thumb-print bottle); together, these two notes create a sweet, musky, warm, slightly animalic base that’s reminiscent of skin.

However, from there the two scents diverge. You Rêve is a gourmand fragrance, while You Doux is an elegant, soft floral woody scent. Read more about the two below.

Glossier You Rêve

Scent notes: buttercream, plum butter, toasted almond, iris, sandalwood, ambrette, ambrox

As per Glosser’s official description, You Rêve “ is a lush, dreamy gourmand fragrance that opens with rich Buttercream, followed by an addictive centre of plum butter, toasted almond, iris, and creamy white sandalwood — heightened by a warm, musky base driven by ambrox.”

Testers have noted that while this scent doesn’t have a cherry note, it undeniably smells of cherry. It’s gourmand in a sultry red lolly way, rather than in a classic vanilla dessert way. The opening has been compared to Jolly Ranchers and Lipsmackers lip glosses—i.e. a somewhat artificial fruity scent—which dries down to reveal a warm, creamy, musky base with a hint of the former saccharine sweetness.

Glossier You Doux

Scent notes: sweet violet, palo santo, frankincense, myrrh, ambrette, ambrox

We predict Glossier You Doux will be the star of the show in months to come. According to the brand, You Doux “is a soft and serene woody fragrance that opens with sweet violet, followed by a precious blend of woody palo santo, frankincense, and smoky myrrh — heightened by a warm, musky base driven by ambrox.”

Testers have compared the creamy, woody fragrance to both Le Labo Santal 33 and Santa Maria Novella Tabacco Toscano. It’s light and creamy, with layers of spice and smokiness which lend it an alluring tone. Reviewers have noted that You Doux stays on the skin longer than You Rêve.

You Rêve and You Doux are both priced at $145AUD for 50ml and available via the Glossier webstore.
