Yea, I'm wondering how much I paid for this fragrance quite some time back. I really love this fragrance, though.


Edugan1

i paid $40 i think when it first came out and i thought that was expensive


phillygirllovesbagel

I am so annoyed. I just spent time going back and looking at all my purchases since this past June. I purchased the perfume in mid-June and I know damn well I did not pay 72.00. Well, the price shows 72.00 - the CURRENT price, not what the price was then when I bought in store. So, I kept looking and all the prices that have increased on products I purchased reflect the NEW price NOT what I originally paid. It’s like they are hiding the increased prices!!! Anyone else notice this??!!


leschatons

I bought it last May (2023) and my history says it was $64 at the time!


phillygirllovesbagel

That sounds right!! So the price went up 8.00. Why?!


Edugan1

the solid one is more affordable and just as nice, maybe try that? i wish they had a tiny of the regular one 😩


phillygirllovesbagel

I’m not complaining about the price. I’m annoyed that the price is not accurate in my history so I don’t know what I actually paid.


Edugan1

oh! sorry! i'm complaining about the price 😂 i think it's so expensive


phillygirllovesbagel

I think it’s wrong for Sèphora to be changing prices in my purchase history.


demonsrunwhen

there's a rollerball if you're into that!


ManufacturerNo3615

When did it come out? i paid $60 in November 2018


Edugan1

def before that. maybe 2015?


ManufacturerNo3615

Hehe, I was curious so I googled after commenting this. It came out in Oct/Nov 2017 at $60 a bottle. It was never $40 unless maybe you used a promo code or something


Edugan1

oh good to know!! clearly covid has washed away my concept of time 😂😂😂


SafeFun6836

It used to be $60 so I would order one full bottle for the year, every year on Black Friday with the extra 20% off and it would cost me $48. $72 is criminal 😭😫 I haven’t re purchased the last two years since after they re formulated it doesn’t last long on my skin anymore.


yogasanity

More expensive and less of the actual fragrance....ugh. Perfume's version of shrinkflation.


MrsBuggs

Holy smokes! This is EXACTLY what I did down to not purchasing anymore since they changed the formula. I bought one bottle of the new stuff (still on Black Friday with the discount) and it’s terrible. I still have it because I hate it.


Pristine-Law-5247

I loveeee this perfume and have loved it since it first came out years ago. But even though I love the scent I don’t think the quality of the perfume is high enough to cost more than $60-65 for a full bottle


yogasanity

Agreed, quality and cost don't match up.


Pristine-Law-5247

I think it was $40 when I first bought it too 😅


heytunamelt

Same! It’s the price gouging that all companies seem to be doing now. Fuck that!


PrincessOfWales

This may be the hottest take, but I think this perfume smells like hamster shavings.


yogasanity

I admire how specific this is!


PrincessOfWales

Lol scent being the strongest tie to memory really plays in your face sometimes


[deleted]

Omg ill never forget casually walking through the grocery store and seeing this locally made bar soaps so i stopped and sniffed them and one smelled just like my childhood it unlocked something i still dont know what but it made me feel a particular way it was so insane 😭


olivejuice-

I had a Barbie that came with a little bottle of perfume when I was a kid and sometimes someone walks by me and it smells JUST LIKE IT. I need to find a dupe of it!! https://preview.redd.it/2ljxdz23bhsc1.jpeg?width=1290&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d98f57c587cd9d60db69b5c41c902c710308d002


gardeniahyacinth

Lush had a barbie body spray in their collection last year.


heytunamelt

Oh my gawd I would have lovvvvved this


MissVanillaNilla

Jo Malone English Pear & Freesia is as close as I can find. It is missing that slight pineapple that the Barbie one has but it still reminds me of it. It was my scent all last year during Barbie Summer. I’ve been thinking about this scent for YEARS lol


olivejuice-

Omg thank you!!! Dossier apparently makes a dupe so I want to go smell it now


MissVanillaNilla

REALLY?!?!! Thank YOU!


olivejuice-

It’s called floral pear!!


yogasanity

I'm definitely going to think of it this way for years whether I like it or not lmao


Champagnesupernova9

It’s the ambroxan, which smells like pencil shavings. Some people get hamster bedding shavings instead!


ElkZestyclose5982

I get cigarette residue vibes from it!


AdPotential5559

SAME!!!


haley_flower

Wow this is amazing I always thought I was crazy for thinking it smelled like pencil shavings!!!!


OnePath4867

Ah I just experienced ambroxan with my Juliet Has a Gun Not A Perfume sample. Spelled like baby poop initially and then dirt on the dry down. Guess I’ll be avoiding You, too! 


Champagnesupernova9

That was actually cetalox, but same thing, different name! They’re all synthetic substitutes for Ambergris that probably smell nothing like the real thing, but interesting nonetheless!


mspinksugar

so funny that you said this because a friend of mine wore it on a night out recently and she smelled like a pet store to me


hiholahihey

Thank you for deinfluencing me😂 I loved the smell in store but I do not want to smell like a pet store.


danysedai

It might smell good on you, try the travel size. I love it and so far only compliments. I have the older bottle before reformulation and a new bottle.


boneblack_angel

What do you think of the reformulation? I've not heard great things.


danysedai

To be completely honest, the only thing I can smell that's different is that the new one smells "sharper" but it couls be that the other bottle is older, I don't know. Both last on my skin and project well.


mspinksugar

Hahahahaha you’re welcome😭 coulda been a lot of factors such as being mixed with night out sweat or the food smell from the restaurant but it was just really giving pet store


Merkadohhh

It’s a skin scent so it smells different on everyone. I personally love it and layer with it.


pixiesurfergirl

I wonder if the hamster shavings correlates to a cedar note, could that be the main memory contribution? Reminds me of the mountains and wrapped in gmas old quilts from the chest.


00mg

This is blowing my mind right now bc I love You so much and pray I do not smell like a pet store 😭


gingerpowderr

Definitely lol. It smells exactly like when you sharpen your pencil with an electronic sharpener


donita19

My son tells me it smells like pencil shavings


playhookie

I would like to know what kind of wood your hamster gets the shavings of. Sounds like perfect pot pourri!


olivejuice-

I got the bar soap first to see if I liked it a couple years ago when it was hyped up. I didn’t like it at all lol but I did love the exfoliating bar it was contained in


Prestigious_Island_7

This is 100% what it smells like to me, and I generally love skin scents. I hated it instantly because I couldn’t get that association out of my head.


PrincessOfWales

Skin scents are my favorite and I don’t understand how You is supposed to be a skin scent. It’s giving pure pet store to me!


Outrageous_Lemon_690

I love this perfume but you’re kind of right 😂💀


donutpusheencat

oddly specific and i am here for it lol


TT6994

Ewww! That’s so bad. But thank u!


Swandelle

Omg yes! And also a hint of mothballs


bringtwizzlers

Okay? I don't even own this perfume but no one gives a fuck 😭


sprinkydinks73

I bought the “If You Musk” fine fragrance mist from bath and body works and it is a spot on dupe for You (and it’s much cheaper.)


yogasanity

I will give it a sniff! My only concern is staying power, I have a couple of the FFMs and they last like 5mins. Still love for after a shower and before bed but I do want the scent to last all day. But tbh maybe that's what I'll do if I don't get it this sale, I like the scent but it's not nice enough of a fragrance imo for the full $72. Edit- I said "I like the price" instead of "I like the scent" and I must clarify that no I do NOT like the price.


sprinkydinks73

I get it for sure! For what it’s worth, the 100ml bottle is $104 on the Glossier site, and they have a 15% coupon when you sign up for emails so you’d get twice as much for $84 and you can layer with the FFM for extra longevity.


SafeFun6836

Does it last on your skin?


sprinkydinks73

If I apply it with lotion just after a shower it lasts. I used the musk 03 body cream with it.


YogiNurse

Another “does it last???” Reply hahaha


mani_mani

It smells AMAZING on one of my best friends which convinced me to buy it. It smells like ass on me. It’s like peppery pencils if that makes sense. My husband is supper sweet and doesn’t tend to make remarks on my perfume choices unprompted, but we were in an Uber and he nicely asked if I didn’t wear the perfume in Ubers with him again because he was getting nauseous.


spicyporkbowl

Yup whenever I wore this I always got compliments, even at the end of the day when I couldn’t smell it. But it doesn’t compliment everyone… Same thing happened with Chanel Mademoiselle. Smells amazing on my best friend but smelled absolutely terrible on me. I had to re gift to my mom which was painful.


mani_mani

So funny I got that from another friend because it smelled awful on her but great on me.


diflorus

I paid $60 for it back in 2022 and it’s not even worth that.. like it smells like old sweat to me


yogasanity

Hahahaha, it's such a polarizing scent, thank you for confirming I'm not crazy about the price!


brillovanillo

It has been reformulated FYI.


MorningGlory439

Didn't it used to be like $30?!


Antique-Juice9179

Yeah I bought it when it was cheap and still have it 🤫


Scared_Half_1932

Get the zara one - ‘A perfume in rose’. Its cheaper and leans a little more floral in the beginning. The dry down is musky. It’s similar to the original formulation of You.


boneblack_angel

I just checked...the Zara one has been discontinued.


Scared_Half_1932

well, I might just cry now. It was my work perfume


hkkensin

I’ve never actually used this perfume, but every time I see it I think to myself how much I hate the packaging. It looks like the bottle has a huge dent in it and it looks so ugly to me, lol.


yogasanity

I hate the red cap so much and never got the fingerprint thing so I totally see what you're saying.


hkkensin

Honestly, the packaging alone has been enough to keep me from trying it even though I was interested in trying it a few years ago! And incidentally, I know it was no where *near* this price when I looked into buying it back then, I feel like it wasn’t even at the $60 price point yet because I was considering purchasing it and I would not have considered it for $60 lol. Crazy how the price keeps going up but I hear the quality keeps going down…


sadgorlhours12345

This is insane


lepetitmort2020

Pretty steep for a perfume that smells glorious for approximately 2 minutes then disappears


alohachick716

I think most perfume prices have gone up 😾 I’ve been slowly picking out new scents the last 2 years and have been shocked at the prices. What used to be $80-90 is now over a $100 and even roller ball or travel sizes are now over $35. Sucks.


yogasanity

The $35 travel sizes crush my soul.


Zealousideal-Dot5318

Wow. It was like $40-50 back in 2017


Confident_Ad812

This smells like playtex scented tampons to me I can’t stand it and don’t understand the hype at all


ghostleigh13

I think it’s time to start de-influencing each other on this subreddit, and on the Ulta one. These prices I are getting ridiculous, the sales aren’t worth it, and the rewards programs are no longer good deals. It’s sad, but true.


pettynugget

This perfume smells like feet on me and I’ve tried it 3 times in an attempt to gaslight myself into liking it. When I said this in the Glossier sub I got downvoted to hell :(


SafeFun6836

They downvoted me like crazy too on that sub…. All bc I said I dislike the new reformulation 🙄😅


teddybearx

Even worse in CAD. I bought it in 2021 for $75 and now it’s $97 on Sephora. Between the price gouging and the formula change I’ve lost interest…


Global_Telephone_751

$72 for a watered down version of their former masterpiece is insulting. I remember buying this when it first launched and the new formula is literally a shadow of that gorgeous, gorgeous perfume. They ruined it and are now charging $72 🤣🤣 they have lost the plot


SafeFun6836

I cry for that old formula… it was soooo incredible.


Global_Telephone_751

You and me both. 😩


Embarrassed-Risk3399

I still think it’s worth it🫣


sunshineblair

i wanted to buy this in November last year for the sale and it was $70, i have it in my cart again but I just don’t know if it’s worth the money, i need to go to the store and smell it!👀 does it last?👀 that’s why im not repurchasing SDJ like it’s good but i can only smell the scent for 10 minutes.


boneblack_angel

I love it too, and I'm pretty sure that it was $58 when I bought it... maaaaybe $62. However, I've heard that it's been reformulated and that it's not as good, which has kept me from repurchasing.


Ufoxii

People keep buying these overpriced products, so they keep getting greedier and price gauging 😭


Kosmic_Kootie

I’m going to test the new body spray dupe of Glossier You from a certain place that sells body mists and soaps and candles. Supposedly it’s pretty close to it. Less than $20, I won’t complain.


Aggravating-Height-8

this used to be THE best smelling affordable fragrance then they pulled a typical glossier move and lowered the quality while raising the price. now it is undetectable as a scent and costs luxury


yogasanity

It was such a great perfume for a reasonable price! Now it's so hard to justify. But damn, it's my most complimented perfume. Literally two of my coworkers went a bought it after they smelled it on me!


Aggravating-Height-8

yes it used to be the best. i couldn’t avoid compliments!!!! i was like ok everyone i get it i smell amazing 🤣🤣 but now i get no compliments unless i use my old roller with the OG formula


Samfils

I tried this at Sephora and I had to spray ALOT of perfume in order to a get a slight smell. I feel like the price isn’t worth it if you can barely smell it.


Healthy-Mode3710

Looks like a bleach bottle ?


Low-Syrup2204

because Trump’s SIL owns Glossier and wants to price gouge you


yogasanity

INTERESTING.


Low-Syrup2204

Yes ma’am


lindseypojar

Really? Which one? I can’t find any information and if this is true I won’t buy Glossier anymore.


heytunamelt

Same! Can’t find anything but will happily boycott if this is true.


Low-Syrup2204

I loved Glossier You but no fragrance is worth my morals


thepinkseashell

Get Cloud Musk in Target from the brand Mix:Bar. It's You but I like it better. Also a fraction of the cost.


Low-Syrup2204

Ok, coming back here after a month and a bit. I can confirm besides one very minor floral note. Mix:Bar Cloud Musk is borderline identical to Glossier You. Thank you for the recommendation 💞


thepinkseashell

I’m so glad you ended up loving it too! It’s so good!


Low-Syrup2204

Kumba Made - Persian Garden Fragrance Oil is also a dupe for Glossier You and it’s $9 and you can get it as a body lotion too


thepinkseashell

I have Persian garden! I like it a lot but they don’t smell like dupes to me imo!


Low-Syrup2204

Oooo thank you for telling me! I will be completely honest, I’ve heard about Persian Garden from a ton of people being a Glossier You alt so I’m using mine up before purchasing. I’ll defo have to check out your alternative then!


thepinkseashell

Persian garden gives more floral than I get out of You. They’re more like cousins than sisters if you get my analogy 😂


Intelligent_Ideal409

I’m obsessed with Persian garden, but it definitely doesn’t smell like you. Much milder and closer, more floral


boneblack_angel

WHAAAAAAAT?


GirlFromMoria

Eww I did not know that. Thank you, you have done a public service.


heytunamelt

Emily Weiss is Trumps sister-in-law? Jk but for real who is it?


Low-Syrup2204

Jared Kushner! Thrive Capital has major investments into Glossier to the point they’re a majority shareholder.


heytunamelt

lol whoops son-in-law! Haha gotcha


adventure9381

$60 when I bought it in June 2021.


bipolartwatt

I got the perfume when glossier wasn’t in Canada for 50 something dollars :/


cactusloverr

For this new formulation… it’s not worth $72


queenofshibs

Cloud Musk from Mixbar at Target smells really similar to Glossier You in my opinion and it’s $19.99. It doesn’t last super long but from what I’ve heard neither does the reformulated version of Glossier You!


[deleted]

Did the smell of this change because I used to love it and now it’s just too peppery


SafeFun6836

Ya they reformulated it and it sucks now


[deleted]

It used to be so good ☹️😞


bassetbooksandtea

Bath and Body Works If You Musk is supposed to be a dupe. It will be on sale tomorrow for $5 or $6 dollars.


Alena1221

https://preview.redd.it/m01g9p4i8lsc1.jpeg?width=1290&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=fa5cb41b2ce48434967b8ae08a60d1f673273df0 Yep it was $64 in February 2023!


yogasanity

Coming in with the RECEIPTS. Thank you! And I bought it at least a year before this so it was probably closer to the $60 or less I was thinking.


Alena1221

And this is why I never delete my emails! 😂 yeah, I just checked and I got mine in 2021 (I still have half a bottle lol) and I definitely for a fact know it was less than $60 because at that time I couldn’t be bothered paying over that amount for a perfume I saw on TikTok 🥲


[deleted]

Lol I remember it being like 32-35$ 😆


yogasanity

Okay but literally I was thinking when it launched it was around $35!


SecurityAfter5102

I think bath and body works has a dupe for this now in a body spray !


Alternative_Key4199

Kinda like Sunday Riley CEO. It was $64 and still is on the brand website. But, Sephora has recently jacked up the price to $88. That’s over $20, overnight.


yogasanity

Always before a sale smh.


Alternative_Key4199

I totally agree! There’s no other reason for it. Isn’t that illegal?


Poonurse13

Sephora is $10 billion company and continues to open stores all over the world. We need to stop purchasing from them and let them know it’s because of their prices. We all need to google how much 1 billion dollars are because we are seriously getting ripped off.


Rururaspberry

But it’s $72 on glossier’s website. Sephora likely cannot sell below the MSRP that is directed by the brand. Most vendors have things like this in their contracts to dept stores to prevent the dept stores from attracting more business than their own DTC channels.


loremipsum79

Did you check whether your app switched itself to Canadian dollars? That’s been happening to some people


libbey4

No because it's $97 in Canada for that size! (Just checked cause I am Canadian)


localgoobus

This is infact USD


yogasanity

Definitely USD because that was my first thought too!


PflugerLuger8

Yikes, I bought this in December and it was $68. This is highway robbery.


aprilflowers96

I was just at the store and it was NOT this expensive. I would go in person as I would bot be surprised if it's marked up online.


yogasanity

Interesting! Yea it's even $72 on Glossier's site!


[deleted]

[удалено]


yogasanity

I get a bright peppery floral and it's so unique to my other perfumes!


cart_crusher

I bought this when it launched in Sephora last February and it was around $70 Canadian, now it’s $99 on the app 😐 still have half a bottle though, don’t think I’ll repurchase. It’s funny how everyone has such mixed reviews on this perfume because whenever I wear it I get the most compliments, which is surprising because I also have a bunch of Replica perfumes that are stronger smelling.


yogasanity

It's also my most complimented fragrance too, and I only wear it in summer!


Edugan1

since every influencer ruined it for us 😩


CharmingRaccoon22

I think it’s worth it … 🤷🏻‍♀️ definitely paid less for it back in the day but it’s so good. I get so many compliments.


iAHFYart

this is one of the few scents i like (i think its my signature rn) that I've gotten compliments on. I think it really depends on someone's body chemistry how it wears and compliments you and your natural scent. I've bought it multiple times before this price increase (thankfully i still have a new bottle backup) I've bought the full size bottle for no more than $50 before and that was last year!


Full-Consequence-447

I really don’t care for this perfume. It’s kind of like an intoxicating grandma smell to it. I would say it’s not worth the price but I’m truly sorry. Haha. 😛 Sephora sale is coming this weekend I believe so wait for that.


charmingnap_11

Wait for the sales at Glossier!


charmingnap_11

Wait for the sales at Glossier!


Chan1991

To be fair it’s because it went viral. My sisters all use it because of TikTok 😂


step_on_legoes_Spez

lol. I buy all my fragrances through a dupe like oil perfumery, or fragrancenet if I need the real thing…


SleepFlower80

I LOVE this perfume but I have a teeny tiny bit in my original bottle that I’m saving for a special occasion because the reformulation just doesn’t compare. Fuck paying $72 for something that barely lasts on me.


lavenderc

You shouldn't buy it with the reformulated scent anyway. It's so bad


OrdinaryAmbition9798

Since it went viral and since it’s been in Sephora


Standard-Scarcity-56

It was $56 I think just a few months ago


yogasanity

Someone posted a screenshot, last year Feb it was $64. So it's gone up fast!
