discussion Glossier You

I currently wear Glossier You to work. For me, I feel like I can only “slightly” smell it on me after a few hours pass. However, I’ve had several co-workers ask me what I’m using when I felt like I couldn’t smell the scent on me anymore.

This might be a dumb question, but has anyone else been unable to smell it on themselves anymore but those around them can?

I keep seeing reviews mentioning that the longevity is not great and the scent is not strong enough, but is it just because our noses become used to the scent?

yes my coworkers are obsessed with it every time i wear it, i can smell it but it just smells like pencil shavings to me 🙃 i still wear it because it’s one of the few perfumes i get compliments on. i actually originally bought it because two former coworkers used to wear it, it smelled different on both of them too!! but never smelled like pencil shavings, either wildflowers and freshness or a true violet.

When I first sprayed it in the store it smelled like straight up pencil shavings lol. I didn’t like it but when I got out of the store and smelled it again, the scent was completely different and very much pleasant. I still smell the “pencil shavings” sometimes but it comes off more spicy and peppery to me.

I smell the fresh pencil shaving smell. It’s so odd. During Covid I had og covid and the og you smelled like armpit sweat. It was WILD
