Glossier You appeared in 2017, the brand's first perfume, signed by Frank Voelkl and Dora Baghriche at Firmenich. The house presents it as a revealer of skin scent: pink pepper at the opening, iris root, and a base of ambrette seed, ambroxan and musk that carries most of the formula.
The press praises a comfortable iris musk, questions its longevity, and doubts the promise of a fragrance that smells different on everyone.
What critics say
Fleur de Force, October 2017
The reviewer compares it to Molecule 01, a cult fragrance built on a single material, and describes a musky, powdery blend that gives the impression of wearing no perfume at all, only smelling good.
She says she adopted it after a weekend trial, for its freshness and its creamy warmth at once. She faults it for a negligible longevity, on the order of an hour.
Emily B. Jensen, online review
She disputes the promise of a fragrance that would smell different on everyone: she finds no more variation in it than with any other, while acknowledging that the story is well told.
She offers another explanation for the fragrance's commercial longevity: a soft, familiar and comforting iris musk, abstract enough to evoke no specific reference. Less spectacular than Santal 33, by the same perfumer, and just as effective at gathering compliments.
