Choosing the Best Glossier You Alternative

For the past several years, Glossier You has positioned itself as a youthful, understated, and minimalist fragrance.

Its key note finds inspiration in classic fragrances such as Kiehls Original Musk. At the same time, the first spritz of light and spicy pink pepper, floral and earthy iris root heart notes, and creamy ambrette and musk base notes offer a subtle dry-down and skin-like finish unique to Glossier You.

If you want a similar mix of scents that transforms to smell uniquely you without being overwhelming, look for fragrances that have warm, gourmand, and creamy base notes with amber and musk. While this list's perfumes feel fresh and sensual, the scent pyramids often go light on the woody, spicy, sweet, and floral notes, just like Glossier You.

Choosing the Most Affordable Glossier You Alternative

This Ind. For Them Gender-Free Fragrance offers a clean, youthful, and minimalist vibe that doesn't confine itself to traditional boundaries. This means that it's unisex, affordable, and offers a strong similarity to Glossier You. The woody, peppery, and musky notes enhance your body's natural chemistry so you can feel like the best version of yourself.
