I've been discreetly using Glossier's new perfume for weeks—you should get ready to experience its brilliance.

      I need to confess something. Over the last two months, I've received more compliments on my perfume than I can remember. (If I had to estimate, I'd say around 50.) Now it's time to be honest—every single time someone asked me what fragrance I was wearing, I didn't tell the truth. But now, I’m ready to admit it. For anyone who has inquired about my perfume recently, let me clarify: that fresh, warm, creamy, slightly salty aroma was indeed Glossier You Fleur. As of today, I can finally share that with you.

      Yes, Glossier has introduced yet another version of its beloved skin scent—and in my view, this one surpasses all its predecessors (excluding the original, which will always be iconic). While Glossier You remains one of the most celebrated perfumes today, with its creamy, musky, sweetly peppered blend, You Rêve offers a sugar-laden depth and You Doux brings in sandy notes paired with light smoke, Glossier You Fleur marks the brand's venture into new territory—florals.

      However, don’t jump to conclusions. While You Fleur is certainly a spring fragrance, it isn't your conventional floral scent. In fact, not a single person who commented on my perfume has said it smells floral in any way. I want you to trust me on this. With over ten years of experience in fragrance writing and a lifelong passion for scent, I’ve often encountered beauty brands claiming their new fragrance is a "reinvention" of floral scents. Whenever I hear that, I tend to tune out.

      But Glossier You Fleur arrived at my doorstep in January, discreetly packaged in a nondescript parcel alongside a handwritten note from the PR representative saying, “I think it's going to be your favorite.” Besides knowing it was called Fleur (French for flower, in case you weren’t aware), and having a vague description as “an airy and luminous floral blend,” I had no reason to expect Glossier was trying to "reimagine" the somewhat antiquated floral fragrance realm—yet I stand corrected, as I have never encountered a floral scent quite like this.

      After wearing it almost daily for eight weeks, I can say with confidence that Glossier You Fleur is a success. While my usual go-to fragrances are priced around £200 each, I'm surprised to see that the £70 You Fleur has garnered more compliments than all my other favorites combined. As someone recognized for accurately predicting future cult scents, I strongly believe You Fleur will become one of the most sought-after perfumes of 2025. Here's why...

      If you are already acquainted with the slightly sweet, skin-like, musky warmth of Glossier You, keep this in mind as you read further. While I admit past additions to the You collection seemed to lack the original perfume's charm, Fleur embodies that signature You essence abundantly. It is undeniably the closest to the original scent.

      This fragrance is clearly a daytime perfume, best applied to warm, bare skin on sunny days when the air is fresh. It is soft and subtle in a way that feels intimate and inviting—the kind of scent that makes you want to bury your nose in the skin where it has been spritzed.

      You Fleur is neither a light, juicy floral nor a sugary fragrance. Instead, it envelops you in a comforting layer of smooth, creamy dewiness. It resembles nectar flowing over velvety, powdery petals under bright sunlight. Remarkably, it accomplishes this without becoming overly sweet or cloying. Sprinkled with sea salt, it retains a refreshing bite that invites you back for more.

      It evokes the sensation of snuggling into a luxurious cashmere knit, enjoying the warmth of flower gardens, and strolling down a sunny street on a glorious spring day all at once. It captures springtime memories that gain depth with maturity—fresh without being chilly, sweet without being saccharine, floral without being overly delicate, and inviting without being overpowering. In true You fashion, it melds seamlessly with the wearer, expertly blurring the line between fragrance and skin.

      Glossier You Fleur may be infused with fresh, powdered petals, but it is the skin-like, musky warmth of ambrox combined with a refreshing hint of sea salt that binds it together into a comforting veil of familiarity.
