Truly iconic perfumes are the ones you don’t even need to experience first-hand to get the hype, and Glossier You has transcended beyond the if-you-know-you-know category. It’s no secret that Gen-Z and Millennials unanimously love the your-skin-but-better scent. Your friend (or you) likely owns a bottle, and you’ve probably smelt it on the street without knowing and did a double take. The notes of pink pepper, iris, and ambrox are simple, yet effective at crafting a custom but familiar scent. For Glossier You lovers, or fans of the brand in general, there’s good news: Two brand-new scents are coming to the Glossier You family this fall.
After cryptic locked PR boxes and rumors flooded FragranceTok, we finally have some answers. Ahead, all the details on Glossier You Doux and You Rêve.

The Inspiration
The popularity of Glossier’s first fragrance inspired the brand to add two complimentary scents to its lineup. What makes the OG perfume so well-loved? You’d think a super popular fragrance would deter people from buying it (or maybe it’s the Leo in me thinking I wouldn’t want to smell like everyone else), but with Glossier’s standalone scent, it’s the total opposite. The fragrance is meant to combine with your skin’s pH and pheromones to create a custom-to-you scent. So, yes, maybe your entire office is wearing the fragrance, but you wouldn’t know it. It lays differently on each wearer, which creates a “uniquely you” scent that’s “soft, warm, and familiar,” per the brand. Because of this, the fragrance has been able to shine on its own since launching in 2017.

Now, the brand is introducing the Impressions of You collection, a “wadrobe of skin-scent enhancers” inspired by Glossier You, starting with Glossier You Doux and Glossier You Rêve. The new scents keep the same spirit and musky ambrox and ambrette base as the OG, with fresh new top notes. They’re also designed to smell a little different on everyone, and wear “close to the skin and true to you.”
The Fragrances
First, there’s Glossier You Doux (French for “soft”), a woody fragrance that “embodies the balance of you.” It opens with delicate, powdery violet, followed by warm palo santo, frankincense, and myrrh, grounded by You’s signature ambrette base. It’s the perfect blend of delicate and strong, and comes in a chic white bottle to reflect the fragrance’s softness and sense of calm.
Glossier
Glossier You Rêve (French for “dream”), on the other hand, is a sophisticated gourmand “designed to capture a rush of you.” The top note features vanilla buttercream, with a heart of plum butter, toasted almond, powdery Iris, and creamy white sandalwood. Again, grounding it at the base is that signature combination of ambrette and ambrox, all wrapped up in a pretty purple bottle.
While you may be itching to smell the new perfumes, you’re going to have to wait a little longer. You Doux and You Rêve launch on glossier.com starting October 3.
