Glossier just expanded its iconic You lineup with two fresh scents, You Doux and You Rêve, the ultimate fragrance sisters—similar at heart but with totally unique personalities. Imagine the classic You as your perfect, versatile staple scent. These new additions? They’re like signature cocktails with a twist, each crafted to fit a different side of you.
Here’s the scoop on what makes each fragrance tick and why Glossier’s latest releases might just become your go-tos for every occasion.
You Doux: Cozy and Cashmere-Soft
You Doux lives up to its name, meaning “soft” in French, by bringing a calm, refined touch that’s all about subtlety. If you’re into subtle, refined luxury, this is the fragrance for you. Doux opens with sweet violet, a note that’s fresh and slightly powdery, making way for a woodsy blend of palo santo, frankincense, and myrrh. Together, they create a soft, earthy aura that feels like wrapping up in your coziest cashmere on a crisp autumn day. It’s like someone distilled the feeling of an upscale lounge—think rich wood tones, soft lighting, and that warm, welcoming feeling of plush interiors.
Emily Weiss, Glossier’s founder, describes Doux as a scent for the “quiet luxury” crowd. “When I think of Glossier Doux,” says Weiss, “I think of cashmere and marble, a lot of woods, and this duality of hard and soft.” Imagine yourself as the person who loves simple, elegant things: a favorite well-worn cashmere sweater, classic accessories, and the kind of understated style that feels effortlessly chic. Doux is for those who want their fragrance to blend with them, close to the skin yet lasting all day with a warm, musky Ambrox base. Its inviting aroma makes it the perfect choice for everything from workdays to laid-back dinners.
You Rêve: Sweet, Seductive, and Free
Then there’s You Rêve, which, as its name suggests, is a bit of a “dream” in fragrance form—only it’s a vivid, unforgettable dream. Rêve opens with a rich, almost edible buttercream and toasted almond. Right off the bat, we’re hit with an enticing sweetness that is difficult to forget... but don’t expect a sugary overload!
Rêve transitions into a tart, juicy plum butter and creamy sandalwood heart, balanced out with iris to bring an earthy, floral sophistication. Together, these notes make for a fragrance that’s playful and sophisticated, like a chic dessert you’d enjoy after a night out.
Weiss calls Rêve the bratty, rich fragrance of the collection, and it shows in its bold sweetness and flirty aroma. If Doux is a cozy night in cashmere, Rêve is a sleek slip dress and a fun, wild late night out. Perfumer Frank Voelkl, the mind behind these two You fragrances and Santal 33, crafted this one to be a gourmand without being cloying. It’s the scent for your bold nights out, the one you wear when you want to be noticed.
Why They’re Both So Unique
Both You Doux and You Rêve keep the core You DNA, using the same musky ambrox and ambrette base that makes these fragrances melt into your skin’s natural scent. This gives each a “skin-scent” effect—they’re close-wearing, subtle fragrances meant to be enjoyed up close. Glossier has truly leaned into the trend of personal, low-projection scents that become part of you. As a result, these fragrances are as intimate as they are stylish.
The best part? Neither scent overpowers, so they’re great for people who love an understated but lasting fragrance. Whether you’re after cozy elegance or bold allure, each new You has you covered. So, who says you have to pick just one?
Both scents are available now on Glossier and Sephora for $78. If you’re in the mood to refresh your signature scent, You Doux and You Rêve offer two very different ways to do it.
