You Soie

Creamy, dreamy, enveloping, sensual, beautiful. A floral rice coconut pudding. Opens slightly fresh but quickly becomes very close to the skin. Wish it projected a little more. Still want. I want to bathe in this. Can't stop inhaling it. I keep seeking it. The Walt Disney of perfumes - leaves you wanting more. Sits just on the edge of being the perfect fragrance for my current mood. I have a small sample but will definitely buy the full size. My second-favourite of the Glossier You range. The OG Glossier You smells linear and like nothing to me other than pencil shavings. I was always so disappointed that I didn't get the cosiness that everyone else described - just pencil shavings. You Doux - all I get is mouldy orange peel. Rève is ok but nothing special - a pleasant enough cherry-almond gourmand to my nose. You Fleur - I fell in love immediately with this one and have the full size. Soie is another love for me. I don't get tropical beaches or vacations from this. I get addictive coconutty musky rice pudding sitting beside a vase of white flowers and I want to dive head first into it. I find it fascinating that the Glossier You range is so different on everyone and so very divisive. Soie and Fleur are by far two of my favourite fragrances in my entire collection.

personally feel like this is the closest we've gotten to original You while being Not You. the cursed dill/pencil shaving notes are NOT present, and it relies heavily on ambroxan as the base. like many ambroxan frags, you won't get the full effect of this one unless you wear it on your skin. it smells like nothing on the sample paper but once it warms up, the notes start to open up. lactonic is correct - jasmine-forward with the creaminess of cold milk in your mouth and just the slightest hint of glutinous rice - but the bergamot is easy to miss as it's not immediately citrus-forward. on the scale of summeriness, this is closer to the transition between spring and summer; before things get too hot, but after the fresh rain of spring. this is very lowkey - i imagine it's made for the folks that like pre-reformulation you, diptyque, jo malone - and not really Apparent like doux or fleur. i wouldn't recommend this as a blind buy solely because you just never know how an ambroxan is going to react to your skin.

This was an immediate full bottle purchase. I tried it out a few times in store, and between tests found myself wishing I had it to spray at home. To me, I get a very soft rice milk and tiare flower scent with an undercurrent of humidity and fresh wood. It’s a tiny bit sweet, but also a bit mineral and salty at the same time. I’m surprised there isn’t a salt note listed to be completely honest. I get almost no jasmine in this except for on the initial spray. Jasmine usually pops pretty aggressively on my skin, so most jasmine-forward scents just turn into Alien on me almost immediately, but this doesn’t give even a hint of that. I hate the word “creamy” for perfumes, but I really don’t have another way to describe this. It almost literally smells like a body cream. Overall, it’s a lovely hot-weather scent that’s going to probably be abused relentlessly this summer along with its You siblings.

Oh. My. Gosh. OBSESSED with this. I follow a lot of perfumetok creators on tiktok who raveeee about milky lactonic scents and I never got the hype....until now. This is calm, sweet, a little powdery, and truly so beautiful. I don't lean towards these notes typically, so I don't have much in my collection to compare it to, but let me just say it's gorgeous and I regret only getting the travel size! I've seen complaints about longevity but it lasts a while on me! Especially if I spray on my hair and not just pulse points. I do totally recognize some of the comments that compare it to fresh laundry, but it's more floral than that. So soft and sweet, very pretty dry down. Inoffensive skin scent to wear at the office/in public year-round. Definitely a new fave (and this is coming from someone whose body chemistry does NOT work with the OG glossier you!!)

This is the perfect summer scent. To me it smells like water less in the beachy, oceanic way as promised on the Glossier website, and more so like swimming in a creek in the woods on a sunny day, a little greener and softer. It also just smells like really fresh, summery air to me, like when you're in the car driving to the lake with your friends and you stick your head out the window and just want to gulp the air down because it smells so good. Just fun and breezy and free-spirited. After 6+ hours I still totally smell it on me, but it fades into a really nice milky musk, the very classic "your skin but better" You base, but Soie retains some of the greenness, it's like the skin of someone who's been outside all day. This is probably my favorite in the You line besides the OG.

wow. as a You truther and Fleur disliker, this is the most perfect scent glossier has released. the first spray is a little harsh, a spicy bergamot and dry rice.. i understand the comparisons to fleur and doux. however its fleur without the screechy cologney apricot and doux without the pickly sandalwood and sweeping paulo santo. it combines the saltiness and creamy depth of the two, reaching a depth similar to reve after a few hours. however its light and gentle, it smells like clean skin and cashmere. the jasmine is dark and supportive of the rice milk and abroxan. i layer with Miu Miu’s Fleur de Lait and get the creamiest coconutty, deep, solar scent. beautiful for the coastal chill of early spring with warmth, flowers, and salty skin around the corner.

Love love love. I sprayed this on my skin while shopping on a few difference occasions and decided to go for full bottle. I wanted a creamy sandalwood I could wear in the warmer months. While there's no sandalwood listed, the rice and milk notes give off this creamy effect I was looking for. The jasmine and tiare flowers makes for a nice white floral mix while the rice and milk mimics summer heat. It gives the effect of getting whiffs of white florals through hot and thick summer air. The florals are faint enough to be unisex and while salt is not listed, it is so so salty. I love wearing Santal Blush in the colder months and I feel like I found a nice summer counterpart. I'm not saying they are similar scents but definitely both feel like creamy woods.

This is the newest fragrance in my collection, I haven't had time to give it a full wear test but I did spray it as soon as I got it and yes it is what I hoped it would be. I get rice from it, I get clean, rice, creamy, delicious and skin. What a fantastic fragrance. I don't like fragrances that open very green and I didn't get that from this. I sprayed at 4pm on Monday and I could still smell this at 10pm as I got ready for bed, that was on unprepared skin (no moisturiser etc) so I am interested to see how it goes today after a shower etc. I will come back in a few weeks to update and see how this develops, but for how this is a success.

Real perfume lovers know you never judge by initial spray. I was actually a little put off by Soie upon first spray. I remember thinking “this is not what I expected.” However within a hour on smelling it on my skin I had fallen in love. I went back to Sephora the same day to buy a travel spray. I agree with others that the marketing campaign is off. This does not give “beach” or “vacation” vibes IMO. It has a beautiful melancholy essence. It gives “relaxing, reading a book next to lit candles on a rainy day”. I also agree with those who say it’s similar to a mix of Fleur & Doux. Yes, but in the best way!

I read the reviews for Glossier You Soie and I was so afraid it wouldn't deliver. I'm not a huge lactonic fragrance fan, but this blew me away. Immediately the note that stood out was the rice and jasmine. On my skin, the tiare flower really shines through. To me, it smells like a summer evening, skin still warm from the sun. Definitely on the savoury side but I love these sort of fragrances. It is a skin scent but I would argue that's very much what Glossier You does. If intimate sillage isn't what you're looking for, then I'd say you can probably pass on this one. But I love it personally.

Tested this in sephora today in preparation to purchase online, and I loved it! Fleur is my favorite of the Glossier fragrances, and this is the closest to that one. Also my second favorite so far. I only get a hint of rice and milk, personally. It's more floral, the jasmine is super strong. Beachy, a bit sunscreen-y, creamy, clean. Settles into my skin warm, sweet and musky like the rest of the You collection does. It reminds me of laying down on the sand in the evening, where the sun is golden but you're cool in the shade... in more of a lakefront, surrounded by floral bushes sort of way.

I love this so much. On me this is a creamy white floral skin musk with a slight tropical vibe from the tiare flower. In my opinion, this is a stronger and more interesting Dirty Rice from Born to stand out, but with a milky jasmine note. I would agree this is unisex, but I disagree with reviewers below and think this actually leans a touch feminine with the noticeable florals. I know this type of starchy musk isn’t for everyone, but if you like dirty rice, white rice, sand and skin, sunny side up, or want a white floral You Fleur, then you should give this a sniff.

I picked up a travel bottle after hearing rave reviews from Suzy Nightingale and Nicola Bonn of On the Scent. And damn, they were right, it is so so good—I can’t stop wearing it. I’ve tried all the glossier you versions and this is the best one by far. It’s just as easy to wear as the original but with more warmth, intrigue, and sensuality. Who knew that bergamot + jasmine + rice milk + ambroxan would make me feel like the most comfortable, sexiest version of myself. Definitely full bottle and even backup bottle worthy.

Two months after launch, this is the first travel sized perfume I’ve emptied out in years, if not decades. It made me understand why people love a skin scent - but YMMV. The other You flankers were either alright or nothing to write home about for me, but Soie swept me away. It’s the first milky scent that doesn’t nauseate me, and coupled with white florals, I positively love it. 2-4 sprays will keep a close bubble that is only for me. It lasts for about 5 hours before needing a touch up. Graduating to the 50ml bottle.

I’ve tried the original you and the reve version, didnt like them so I thought I wasn’t gonna like this one either, but I got the travel spray anyway cuz I was curious and oh.my.god. The most gorgeous exotic, cozy, creamy, unique scent had enveloped me once I sprayed it all over myself. It does smell like you were at the beach, but not on a typical sunny day; maybe at night or under a cloudy sky. I kept getting whiffs of it for hours and I immediately bought the full size afterwards!!!

I love this. I get like a creamy, milky wood, even though wood isn't listed. It's smoother than Doux even if you considered it a wood perfume. I do get and appreciate the rice here, in most other rice perfumes it's been too savory for me and here it's just fluffy. I think this is beautiful To me it's more in the vein of L'eau Papier. Not a dupe by any means, but a similar vibe. I didn't like L'eau Papier though and I love this

this is stunning and as it is new i’ll just suggest i think it’s wearable all year round or at least a safe option for the period from winter/spring, spring/summer and summer/autumn with an optional layer. i also think the sillage is on par with my fav glossier, you doux, so i’ll be wearing them together, but soie has a special place in my heart already. i think my ranking is doux > soie > fleur > original > reve.

Ummm how is this voted so low?? It’s hella cinematic. This smells like falling in love with someone on an island during a monsoon. Its smells like the rain you’ve been waiting for during a long hot summer. This is absolutely incredible fragrance. It’s sexy, summer, island vibes without the stereotypical island notes like coconut. This is so elegant and these notes blend very well together. 10/10 for any occasion

Clean, warm and creamy. Very wearable all day and all year. A truly unisex fragrance. Really looking forward to getting a full size bottle. I am a big fan of the freshness of Glossier You. The two are different, but equally wearable. As far as family resemblance; think cousins, not siblings. And in the You family Soie is the cousin you want to "go out on the town" with. 😉

i was expecting to be unimpresssed with this fragrance based off of reviews. but i actually found it very warm and comforting. probably my 2nd favorite scent from the you line. it smells very different from fleur despite both being very summery fragrances. its definitely more unisex and musky, its longevity is fairly decent but it sticks very close to your skin.
