An addictive musk scent that Glossier claims will adapt to your unique skin chemistry.
Glossier You is not your typical, floral, surgery sweet perfume. And that’s why it’s so good! It has a musky, woody scent that transforms to match your body chemistry… this means it won’t smell the same on you as it does on your friend! Glossier You users rave about the amount of compliments they get when they wear this scent. I think that comes down to 2 things – it’s not your typical scent, and when you wear it, it matches with your body to create your own unique scent. Since Glossier You isn’t your typical scent, it’s not for everyone, so let’s dupe it if you’re curious but don’t want to spend just yet.
Our favorite dupe for Glossier You is Ind For Her For Him Unisex perfume. This perfume has the same musky, woody vibe that mixes with your body chemistry to create your own scent. This is definitely a ‘your skin but better’ without any sugary or floral notes! This perfume is ⅓ of the price of Glossier You and if you’re looking to save, you won’t be missing out with this dupe.
Glossier You Dupes
An addictive musk scent that Glossier claims will adapt to your unique skin chemistry.
Here are the notes in Glossier You:
- Unlike traditional fragrances, Glossier You is heavy on warm, creamy base notes (musk, ambrette, and ambrox) that transform and smell a little different on everyone
- Top notes of earthy, green iris root and spicy, sparkling pink pepper are fresh and clean without being overpowering
- It wears evenly, so the way it smells when you first spray it is the way it will smell throughout the day
I would describe it as a musky, woody, peppery scent in the best way that leans towards being unisex. It’s definitely a cool person, effortless, vibe-y scent. It’s fresh and a nice step back from the typical sugary, sweet and floral perfumes that are usually geared towards women.
We know Glossier for their ‘you but better’ mantra and this perfume definitely falls into that category. It smells like you but better.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do these perfumes smell manly?
No. These are clean, mysterious scents that pull unisex but also mesh with your skin to create the perfect scent. They smell cool and effortless but not sugary sweet. While scents are hard to explain, I promise it won’t smell like your boyfriend’s cologne.
Where’s the best place to spray perfume for a long lasting scent?
With the Glossier You perfume and dupes that mesh with your body’s chemistry, you need to spray it on your skin. It needs warmth to create the full scent. Go for your wrists, neck and some even say behind your knees! Another hack, spraying your hair helps your perfume to really last but it won’t smell the same when sprayed on your body.
If perfume gives me headaches, will this one work for me?
If your perfume gives you headaches, is it because it’s too strong or too sweet? If so, this may totally be the one for you! It’s not sweet and it’s pretty mild for a perfume. It’s a very wearable, low key scent.
