“That is in all probability the one floral fragrance I’ve ever been keen on carrying. The notes of Osmanthus and Ylang Ylang are sheer so that they actually give technique to the nice and cozy and woody scents of cashmeran and ambrox—which is my favourite type of perfume! It’s very clear to me what Glossier is doing with perfume and Fleur completely fills the house for a tastefully floral-forward scent inside the perfume household. Fleur is what the Glossier-wearer spritzes to welcome spring with open arms.”

I principally decide up on the traditional You notes—musk and ambrox are tremendous current—in addition to the salt observe. It is actually fairly, however I barely get any floral notes from it, extra of only a mushy, creamy vibe. In the event you’re searching for a real bouquet, this in all probability will not match the invoice, but it surely’s the right springy addition to Glossier’s heat and comfortable perfume lineup.”

It’s not a floral in the best way that you just’d count on; slightly, it’s concurrently creamy and salty, intimate but whimsical—it’s a floral for individuals who hate florals. The mineral salt observe is sort of hypnotizing, and it someway captures the nostalgic aftertaste of sea spray on sun-drenched pores and skin. That is probably the most playful iteration of You but—it’s the type of floral that makes you’re feeling such as you’re in a pastel-hued Wes Anderson movie.”
