You Fleur

Glossier You Fleur is a warm cozy scent that I love smelling on myself. It's fruity and creamy from the apricot skin, and the cashmeran makes it smell rich and luxurious. But I wouldn't describe it as sweet, juicy, or gourmand -- perhaps the mineral salt accord notes bring a dryness that cancels out sweetness. It’s also light and airy, like a salted apricot mousse. It's similar to Glossier Lilyhaze in that they're both ambery apricots, but Lilyhaze is sweet and gourmand (which I don't like) in a way that Fleur is not (which I do like). The cashmeran also reminds me of YSL Black Opium and Marc Jacobs Daisy Love, and I would say Fleur is like a fruity daytime cousin to Black Opium or a more fruity sister to Daisy Love. I've been a longtime fan of the original Glossier You, and I would have to say I like Fleur better. It's a more fragrant scent with a stronger projection and better longevity. I've been wearing it for a whopping 15 hours, and I still smell it on me. Fleur does smell pretty different from You though, and I wouldn't have guessed it was a flanker. The main thing I don't like about it is the branding. Fleur means flower, and this doesn't remind me of flowers. The pastel purple bottle makes me think this scent is supposed to be a powdery floral, and to me, it's neither. When I smell or think about this scent, my perfume synesthesia tells me it's pale orange, but then I remember it's actually supposed to be pastel purple and I suffer cognitive dissonance.

It opens with equal parts apricot, ambroxan, salt, and the florals in the background. The ambroxan fades off in the drydown for me, and the salt, apricot, and florals remain. The first time I smelled this, it gave me a rush of nostalgia, it reminded me a little of fancy hairspray, and something my mom wore before in the early 2000’s. After the opening, and wearing it throughout the day, it is so, so addictive and beautiful and effortlessly unique. I’m obsessed. I can’t decide if it’s giving a beachy summery dream kind of vibe or a wistful ethereal spring fairytale vibe. I wish with my whole heart that this had more power to it. I would say it fades to a skin scent after ~2 hours, and is gone after 7. This is kind of close to the OG Glossier You, like, before the reformulation. The bundle at Sephora that comes with a full sized bottle and a travel spray is a really good deal, and useful, since you can carry the travel spray with you to reapply. If I had to describe it with 2 words, it would be ethereal and dreamy. I decided after testing, that it will be my spring/summer scent, but it’s so good that I don’t know if I can wait to wear it 😭

Honestly I'm obsessed with this... even more so than the original. This is how you do a flanker! It retains a lot of qualities that the original possesses, but in my opinion it just makes them even better. I first tried the OG You before they reformulated it, and it was stunning, however when they decided to reformulate it almost in it's entirety lost it's appeal to me. When I found this fragrance and tested it, it took me back to when I first smelled the OG you. It's got that creamy, slightly salty warm skin smell that I can't get enough of. But this is elevated in every way. It's not as harsh or peppery on the opening, smells like apricot, and the musk and base notes last a good while on my skin. I took the travel spray to work and only reapplied once, that was 4 hrs ago and I can still smell it. I do believe I go nose blind to some of the notes after a while, but that doesn't mean that other people cant still smell it on me. It's almost got this creamy rice like quality to it. I would say it's a safe blind buy, especially if you loved the original glossier you! I'm so glad I got the travel size and the 50ml.

on my ventures to finding something to impulsively buy as a reward for finishing this project, this really took me by surprise, and i'm wondering if i've been missing out on something. i've had a tiny sample of this just waiting in my collection, and she's probably mad as hell at me right now, because she knew i'd love her, and i just wasn't paying any attention. beautiful salty, creamy skinned opening that i really love. it feels warm, and inviting, and kind of reminds me of sweaty beach skin but like in a not gross way. think of something romantic and sweet, like a cute little beach date and you're sharing apricots together, and you're sticking together; sticking to your lover. i think this scent is so beautiful. i find that ylang ylang and osmanthus kind of remind me of some sunscreens and i think that's why this reads as 'beach scent' to me. it does obviously still carry that original 'you' dna, and i do get the 'pencil shaving'-ness of it all, but i personally really like how that smells on my skin. it's soft, and smooth, and i don't find it in any way harsh, but again that's on -my- skin.

as a glossier die hard fan, my first love for perfume was glossier you. i was so infatuated with it that i blindly bought glossier you fleur and let’s just say, i’d been missing out on the love of my life for the past 3 years. it is everything i want in a fragrance and much more. the original glossier you can be spotted in there, slightly peppery and musky but with a touch of sweetness and floral notes. i absolutely adore the subtle saltiness and it is a perfect fragrance for spring. i’ve never been complimented on how i smell until now and my friend absolutely loves it and says she can smell me constantly (she loves to go in my bag just to sniff the travel size 🥹) she does however prefer the original but does agree with me on the fact it is a perfect spring/ summery scent. it is very youthful, like teen to young adult but i really feel it suits everyone and anyone. i absolutely recommend buying this, but definitely don’t buy it blindly as i can see how it can be disappointing for some. for reference i am 15 years old so if that give an idea on the maturity of the fragrance, you’re welcome!

This is such a pretty smell. Very spring-time, smells like dewy, early-morning rows of bouquets set up at the farmer's market. I don't necessarily pick up on the apricot but there is somehow a very subdued milky sweetness playing in the background, but it's much less prominent than the floral aspects. The top note is mineral salt accord, so it does have this slightly oceanic vibe to it, but it's less "beach day" and moreso quaint coastal town. My absolute favorite scent by Glossier will always be the original You, but something I have noticed is that their other scents, especially Fleur, have far greater staying power than the original. In Fleur's case, I can apply it in the early morning, have a whole day out, go to bed, wake up, and I still smell it clearly on me. The OG You usually completely fades within 6ish hours in my experience, which is a shame because the scent is perfect.

this fragrance reminds me of bare skin after a day in the sun, like writing notes in the margins of a book on the beach. you fleur retains the skin-like qualities of the original, and adds notes of fresh apricot, salt, & ylang ylang. these notes bring a beautiful balance of freshness, soft sweetness, & delicate florals. glossier you was my signature scent for five years, but i hesitate to reach for it now following the reformulation. this is the replacement i’ve been looking for, fresh yet complex, feminine yet versatile. this is certainly the strongest of the you flankers, and perhaps (at least for me) better than the reformulated glossier you. if you’re looking for an everyday driver that feels both fresh & feminine, i’d recommend testing this!

i’ve kind of been rolling my eyes at glossier since the reformulation of OG (why fix what isn’t broken) + the release of two absolute stinkers (releasing a santal scent in an overly saturated santal market and a “clean girl gourmand” felt like a cash grab) but, with all of that being said, fleur is EASILY their best i’m almost glad i didn’t jump on this as soon as it came out because i feel like right now is the perfect time for this profile. spring that is sort of all over the place. cold and comforting after storms, salty and dewy and sweet when it’s warmer outside. it does smell a lot like you, but i don’t think that should be a point of contention. building upon their signature DNA is genius when executed correctly

Let me preface this by saying I was not a fan of the original Glossier You, nor the Reve, so falling in love with You Fleur was entirely unexpected. You Fleur is like a whisper of sunlight on clean skin, a scent that feels both supremely familiar and disarmingly elusive. Hints of apricot skin kissed by morning sun, mineral salt reminiscent of ocean air, and a subtle floral heart that flirts with your senses. There’s a quiet magnetism here that makes you lean closer, breathe deeper, and savor its nuances again and again. It clings close, draws you in, and yet opens into something unexpectedly vast–the kind of fragrance that feels almost like a personal enchantment.

almost passed on this because of the negative reviews, but I’m so glad I grabbed it on sale. As someone who’s been a loyal Glossier You devotee for years, this is an instant new favorite. It’s not a super complex or unique fragrance in the bottle, but that’s the point it relies on your own skin to make it work. The compliments I get are on another level. People don't just give me the regular you smell like perfume comments, they tell me I smell good, and whatever room i walk in fills with the scent. I did have someone stand behind me and comment that it smelled so nice like coconut which i personally don’t get when i smell this scent but everyone is different.

MY SHAYYYYYLA. this is one of my top 5 fragrances of all time. it starts out salty and fruity, and dries down to a molecular cozy sexy musk that makes me feel like I’m wrapped in a soft thin beige throw blanket. I have never gotten more compliments than when I wear this, my coworkers LOVE her. perfect for work in a hospital or other “perfume-free” zone. the only thing I’m a little stumped on is the name, because this is not a floral perfume by any means. a zillion/10. I will repurchase this until it’s taken off the market. I applied at 0630 and it’s 1430 as I write this and she’s faded a bit for sure but still going strong!! (I layered over oil)

i was kind of skeptical at first when i received a travel size of you fleur as a gift- glossier makeup is hit or miss for me and i figured their fragrances would be very basic - but i ended up running through the entire thing in two months because i couldn't get enough of it. it's dreamy and soft and a little bit sweet but not in a vanilla-y gourmand way at all. it's just a comfy scent i want to curl up and take a nap in. i find it has pretty decent staying power, but that may just be that i had low expectations going in. on my skin i'd say it lasts around 4-5 hours give or take, but it'll linger on my clothes for a good couple days.

My favorite EDP from Glossier. It’s tied with Phlur Soft Spot for my favorite musk. And it’s my favorite skin scent. Very long lasting on my skin. To my nose, this is so reminiscent of Room 1015 Sonic Flower in the opening - but lux, and I enjoy it immensely more. Add osmanthus and apricot to Sonic Flower, and you’ve got You Fleur. Cashmeran and ylang ylang perfect the composition from there. I can pick out each individual note, which is a delight. It’s such a beautifully blended floral. Airy, clean, soft, warm, creamy, pleasingly salty - with a well-behaved ambroxan. Cocooning and addicting. So gorgeous!

i do think calling this "fleur" is a bit of a misnomer because it leans way more fruity initially and then dries down into a musky ambroxan that smells almost identical to the original you formulation to me...genuinely was not expecting to love this as much as i do but something about the sweetness of the apricot mixed with the slight tang of the salt and the rich muskiness is so incredibly sexy to me. she's like if a femme lesbian were turned into a perfume she's like a stranger i'd go down on in the bathroom of the dyke bar & then forget to get her number & think about her for weeks...ugh i'm obsessed

glossier is the brand for clean scents on a whim to expand my perfume wardrobe to scent profiles other than gourmand it was almost fate that the free birthday gift from sephora was a glossier gift set with three baby bottles of perfume: you, you doux, and of course, you fleur. evidently you fleur is my favorite of the bunch, in my opinion, it is everything that chanel no.5 tries to be. fresh but not green, clean like soap but doesn't smell like public restroom soap. its very light and classy, not necessarily a deeply complex fragrance but overall is very beautiful.

Beautiful. Very very unisex. The salty aspect makes this sort of masculine, and like an herbal tea. The apricot and ambroxan give it just the right amount of sweetness and femininity. This is the first You offshoot I’ve loved, I can’t stop sniffing my wrist. It’s woody but in a cozy way, not overbearing. Reminds me of something I would’ve smelled on a gorgeous lady walking past me at the mall in the early 2000s for some reason. Like the vibe is vaguely 2006. I don’t really know how to explain that. Full bottle worthy and blind buy safe imo

I received a sample last year which I loved, and finally purchased a travel size this week! Initial spray smells like peppery bubble-blowing solution, but it settles into a creamy, airy skin scent less than 5 minutes later. It's far more sweet and woody than it is floral and salty, so the name is puzzling to me. Nevertheless, I'm still a fan and like this the most out of Glossier's offerings. :) You Fleur has a similar vibe to Phlur's Soft Spot, although Soft Spot is far more floral. If you like one, you'll probably like the other.

Is the "fleur" in the room with us?! If Doux is a trip to the sauna and spa, then Fleur is laying out on the beach after your spa treatment. You can still smell the massage oils on your skin and a hint of the woodiness of the sauna in your hair, but mostly you can smell your coconut-scented tanning oil and the salty sea breeze and the faded cashmere scent of a dryer sheet on your beach towel. I'm slightly obsessed with this for spring/summer, but on me this pulls straight coconut/tropical/beachy vibes.

I love this perfume so much, it's a perfect unisex fragrance, it's good for any season. I really love the ambroxan and apricot mix, I wish I got more of the ylang-ylang and osmanthus. When it dries down, sometimes I get a note of like the smell your hands have when you've been outside? And only sometimes when mixed with other musky perfumes, you get a kinda soil-manure scent, but I've only noticed that when im with my mom and she's wearing something different

My favorite glossier perfume by far, everytime i wear this my nose is magnetically drawn to my wrist because of how good this smells. It's starts off as a lightly floral apricot scent, almost has a shampoo quality to it but in the best way possible. It mellows down into the ambroxan glossier you base which i absolutely love while still maintaining its nectar-like opening. This wears so well on my skin, it projects well and it lasts longer than the other ones.
