Glossier’s original You perfume has been a staple for its addictive, skin-but-better warmth—so when the brand announced You Fleur, a floral-forward iteration, the beauty world took notice. After testing it for two weeks, here’s the full breakdown on whether this limited-edition spritz lives up to the hype.
First Impressions: What’s New?
Original “You” vs. “You Fleur”
| Aspect | Glossier You | Glossier You Fleur |
|---|---|---|
| Scent Profile | Warm, peppery, musky | Softer, powdery floral |
| Top Notes | Pink pepper, iris | Pink pepper, iris, peony |
| Dry Down | Ambrette, musk | Ambrette, musk, powdery violet |
| Vibe | Your skin, but better | Spring garden romance |
First Spritz Thoughts:
- Lighter than the original, with an airy peony-violet lift
- Still has that peppery kick upfront (signature You DNA)
- Less intimate—projects slightly more, but still subtle
Who Will Love This?
✔ Original You fans who want a spring-ready version
✔ Powdery floral lovers (think: Marc Jacobs Daisy, but less sweet)
✔ Minimalists who prefer your-skin-but-bouquet scents
Who Might Not?
✖ Die-hard musk fans (the florals dilute the original’s addictive warmth)
✖ Those who hate powdery notes (violet adds a vintage cosmetic touch)
Longevity & Sillage
- On Skin: 4–5 hours (similar to original)
- On Clothes: 6+ hours (florals linger longer than musk)
- Sillage: Soft—not a room-filler, but detectable in hugs
Pro Tip: Layer with the original You Solid Perfume to boost staying power.
When & How to Wear It
🌸 Best For: Daytime, brunch dates, spring weddings
🌸 Pair With: A crisp white dress or linen separates
🌸 Avoid: Super hot days (powdery notes can feel heavy)
The Verdict: Is It Worth It?
If You Love the Original: This is a pretty seasonal twist—worth the $64 if you crave variety.
If You’re New to Glossier Scents: Try the original first (it’s more versatile).
Final Thought: You Fleur is like reading poetry in a flower shop—delicate, wistful, and just nostalgic enough to feel special.
