The warmer days are rolling in, and in our opinion, there’s no better scent for those long, sun-kissed days than a skin scent. This new fragrance from much-loved beauty brand Glossier bottles that feeling to bring fans a unique and nostalgic new scent.

A new iteration of the iconic ‘You’ perfume, Glossier’s new solar scent, You Soie, is a skin-scent enhancer with warmth, radiance and sunlit brightness built in. As a long-time fan of the original, I put this new fragrance to the test.

The fifth fragrance in Glossier's iconic You lineup, you Soie is a solar scent that evokes feelings of warmth, radiance and sunlit brightness, tapping into that ‘dusk evening’ feel on holiday you wish you could bottle.

Though it’s only just launched, Soie is already winning praise from lovers of the original You and new fans alike, with reviews calling it ‘natural and comforting’ and ‘like nothing I’ve smelt before’.

Sensual, creamy and sharing the same warm, musky base as the original You, Glossier You Soie is a solar scent that evokes feelings of warmth, radiance and sunlit brightness

Rising to internet virality in 2022, the original Glossier You has become a firm favourite within the beauty community thanks to its addictive, nostalgic and skin-like scent that smells slightly different on everyone.

Following the success of its most recent fragrance launch last year – You Fleur – comes Glossier's new, fresh take on the fan-favourite perfume, boasting the same skin-scent base but with added solar notes that make it perfect for summer sunshine.

Sensual, creamy and sharing the same warm, musky base as the original You, Glossier You Soie is what the brand calls a ‘solar’ scent, evoking feelings of warmth, radiance and sunlit brightness, tapping into that ‘dusk evening’ feel on holiday you wish you could bottle.

Coined by early reviewers as being ‘fresh without feeling sharp, and soft without being overly sweet’, the ‘effortless’ new perfume brings a fresh, salty twist to the hearty, musky undertones You is so loved for.

The scent opens with bright, cool Bergamot that is grounded by a creamy, solar heart of Rice Milk, Tiare Water and Evening Jasmine.

Developed to be perfect alone or layered, the stunning Glossier fragrance leaves a lingering, delectable trail in your wake that’s sure to gain you compliments

Bringing the scent back to that skin-like familiarity with a warm, musky base of Ambrox, this silky, floral mix embodies a sense of transition, evolving from raw simplicity into something effortlessly fluid and strong.

In an official press release, the brand wrote: ‘Named after the French word for silk, Soie captures sunlit brightness along with the sensuality of stepping into yourself - the transformative ritual of dressing up as a long sun-kissed day blends into dusk, when still-warm, salty skin meets cool evening air.’

And if you’re worried about losing the signature, skin-like magic of the original You, fear not. Soie still embodies Glossier’s ‘your scent but better’ ethos, enhancing your natural skin chemistry with a touch of floral brightness and saltiness that whispers of the sea.

Developed to be perfect alone or layered, the stunning Glossier fragrance leaves a lingering, delectable trail in your wake that’s sure to gain you compliments, with users commenting on its ‘genuinely good’ longevity, too.

And while You Soie was only just launched at the end of March, it’s already winning praise from lovers of the original You and new fans alike, with reviewers calling it ‘natural and comforting’ and ‘like nothing I’ve smelt before’.

‘Glossier have done it again with this one,’ raved one impressed reviewer. ‘This is easily the most refreshing scent in their fragrance line, but it still carries those signature warm, skin-like undertones they’re known for.

‘There’s something really effortless about it. It feels clean, slightly creamy and just easy to wear day-to-day. I’ve also found the staying power to be genuinely good, especially for a fragrance that sits quite close to the skin.’

Another added: ‘I’m trying to cut down my perfume collection, so wasn’t going to buy, but smelt it in store and couldn’t walk away without it. I am obsessed with the dry down, it’s like nothing I’ve smelt before. Summery, gorgeous scent, definitely worth adding to your collection!’

My thoughts: 

I’m a long-time lover of the original You scent, and Glossier’s last release, You Fleur, has continued to be a staple in my perfume rotation thanks to its unique and delicate freshness.

Suffice to say, I had high hopes for this new solar scent, praying that it would be unique and 'You' enough to become my new summer staple. Gratefully, Soie seriously impressed me.

Warm, salty and familiar, this new fragrance has just the perfect amount of recognisably ‘You’ muskiness, but pairs it with a unique coolness that melts into the skin instantly

Warm, salty and familiar, this new Glossier fragrance has just the perfect amount of recognisably ‘You’ muskiness, but pairs it with a coolness that melts into the skin, changing over time to create your own, unique-to-you scent.

Saltiness and sharpness are grounded by a warm and comforting, creamy base of amber, creating for me the embodiment of a cooling sea breeze as it touches sun-warmed skin.

I get whiffs of it occasionally when I move or when the wind blows right and am greeted with such a wonderful warmth and addictiveness that it instantly lightens my mood. I also love to layer it with my original 'You' to add even more musky depth.

All of Glossier’s fragrances, I find, complement my skin so beautifully, thanks to their incredible skin-scent-enhancing technology. After a few minutes, you’ll find it settles and changes, meaning how it smells on you may not be exactly how it smells on another.

Long-lasting and like nothing I’ve ever smelled before, You Soie has become my new go-to scent for the summer. I just can’t wait to smell it during the warmer months when the sun comes out.
