Glossier Just Made Its "You" Perfume Solid and Portable
When Glossier released its first fragrance called "You" in the fall last year, fans were instantly hooked on its subtle scent. The frosted pink bottle with a signature red top (a tribute to the brand’s infamous zipper pouches) first became available in October, retailed for $60, and made a claim that the wearer was the first ingredient, thus making it weable for everyone and playing into the name, “You.”
Now, the cult-worthy beauty brand is releasing a solid version of “You”. The notes are the exact same: an ambrette base note, ambrox and musk and lastly, iris root and pink pepper for an extra surprise. The small blush pink container is super weighty, comes in a little pouch for ease, and has the kind of design that feels expensive. Best of all, it retails for just $22 and is tiny enough to fit into the smallest of handbags. Considering Glossier has yet to release a travel-size rollerball of “You,” this is the next best thing and a lot chicer.
The solid rendition of Glossier’s fragrance even has a little dimple on the container, similar to the full size bottle. As for staying power, we’d argue that the solid actually stays even longer than the traditional eau de parfum — with its creamy base — in the colder winter months. It applies just like the original and you can dab a little bit on wrists, your neck or anywhere else you want a nice, subtle musky, powdery smell.
At 0.11 ounces compared to the EDP’s 1.7 ounces, it’s a lot smaller for the price. But then again, the size is right when it comes to having your favorite personal fragrance on you at all times in pocket-sized form.
