This new high-street perfume smells just like Glossier you – but it’s half the price

The new fragrance launch is £30 less than its Glossier counterpart. If you’ve ever stepped foot into a Space NK or Sephora, then you’ll know the hype around Glossier’s debut fragrance, you. As of late last year, the you perfume actually expanded to include two new scents – namely, doux and reve – but, for tried and true fans of the brand, it always comes back to the OG aroma.
I’d consider myself one of these fans and, for those not familiar with the perfume’s olfactory profile, it features pink pepper, ambrette seeds, ambrox (a type of amber musk) and iris. While on paper that description might sound a touch overwhelming, in reality the women’s perfume smells clean, almost like fresh laundry, with a hint of those iris florals and a warm, cashmere-like undercurrent.
For context, when I first smelt blank pages and recognised its similarity to Glossier you, I had no idea what the fragrance notes were – so, looking at them now, it’s no surprise I thought the two aromas were comparable. Blank pages also features notes of pepper and swaps iris for iris seed, also known as orris. To create the warm undercurrent that’s paramount to the comforting essence of you, blank pages opts for sandalwood as well as musk (much like the ambrox) and cashmere.
