We sell only the originals. Every perfume we sell is the authentic original, decanted from the perfume house’s own bottle. We buy our bottles from authorized EU distributors and directly from the brands, and 10ML decants every perfume itself. We never sell dupes, clones or inspired-by perfumes. The dupes in this guide are made and sold by other houses; we compare them so you can choose, or wear the original first.
For alternatives to Glossier You, try 6 perfumes from other houses that share parts of its peppery, powdery, close-to-skin character. 10ML does not stock Glossier You itself. Fleur de Peau by Diptyque comes closest on the notes: 118 of 245 Parfumo voters find the two similar. Not a Perfume by Juliette Has a Gun suits the skin-glow core: 45 of 90 Parfumo voters find it similar to You. Wear two in 3ml decants before you choose.
What Glossier You smells like
Glossier launched You in 2017. Glossier's own pyramid opens on pink pepper, moves to iris in the heart and rests on ambrette and ambroxan. Parfumo also lists musk, and its accords for You are powdery, fresh, synthetic, woody and creamy.
In plain words, it is a warm, powdery skin scent. It sits close, and Glossier says it smells a little different on everyone. That is why a search for a Glossier You dupe has no single answer: people love different parts of it.
So this guide splits You into three parts. You may love the peppery iris, the ambroxan glow or the soft musk. Each part has a pair of perfumes below. If you are new to buying by description, see how to choose perfume without smelling it before you buy.

Closest on the notes: pink pepper and iris
These two share named notes with You. The first has the stronger crowd evidence.
Fleur de Peau by Diptyque
Fleur de Peau is a unisex Eau de Parfum from 2018, made by Olivier Pescheux. It opens with aldehydes, bergamot, angelica and pink pepper. Iris and Turkish rose form the heart. The base is musk, ambrette, ambergris and sandalwood.
It shares pink pepper, iris, ambrette and musk with You. 118 of 245 Parfumo voters find Fleur de Peau and You similar. A Fragrantica forum member names Fleur de Peau and one other perfume as very close to You but more refined.
What differs is the frame around those notes. The aldehydes, bergamot and rose make Fleur de Peau cooler and more powdery-floral. Most community voters rate its longevity as moderate. Community votes on its sillage also lean moderate. Community voters most often pick it for day wear.
Escentric 01 by Escentric Molecules
Escentric 01 is a unisex niche perfume from 2006 by Geza Schoen. Lime and pink pepper lead, jasmine and orris form the heart, and musk closes it.
Parfumo's comparison page lists pink pepper and orris as the notes it shares with You, and labels the pair "moderately similar". This is the weakest evidence in the group: a notes match more than a crowd verdict.
It differs through lime and jasmine, and its accords run woody, citrus and aromatic, so it reads fresher and woodier. Its sillage votes lean strong in the community. Fall and winter are the seasons community voters most often choose it for.
The ambroxan skin-scent core
If the glow of You on skin is what you love, start here. See also our guide to ambergris and ambroxan.
Not a Perfume by Juliette Has a Gun
Not a Perfume is a women's Eau de Parfum from 2010 by Romano Ricci. It lists a single note, Cetalox. Its accords are amber, woody, musky, balsamic and warm spicy.
45 of 90 Parfumo voters find You and Not a Perfume similar. A Parfumo member's write-up calls You its biggest competitor. In one Fragrantica forum thread, a member finds You more powdery and a bit stronger, and Not a Perfume closer to the skin and more linear. Another finds You softer at the edges.
What differs is the build. It is simpler and sheerer, with none of You's listed top or heart notes. Community voters most often pick it for day wear.
Another 13 by Le Labo
Another 13 is a unisex niche perfume from 2010 by Nathalie Lorson. Pear and apple open it, ambroxan, moss and jasmine form the heart, and musk and ambrette close it.
It shares ambroxan, ambrette and musk with You. Parfumo's comparison page names ambroxan as the common note and labels the pair "moderately similar". Basenotes members are split: one calls You a less animalic version of Another 13, another does not see the link.
What differs is the build: Another 13 is more ambroxan-forward and a little animalic, with pear on top and moss in the heart, and less powdery lift than You. Community votes on its longevity lean long lasting. For the perfume itself, see our guide to Another 13 dupes.
The same soft-musk mood
Here the match is the quiet, clean mood rather than the notes.
For Her Pure Musc by Narciso Rodriguez
For Her Pure Musc is a women's Eau de Parfum from 2019 by Sonia Constant. Musk opens it, jasmine, ylang-ylang and orange blossom form the heart, and cashmeran sits underneath.
Parfumo's comparison page labels the pair "quite similar". What differs is the floral heart: this one is creamier and more white floral, and it shares only the soft-musk mood with You. Community voters most often pick it for spring, fall and summer, and for day wear. More soft musks sit in our white musk perfume guide.
Lazy Sunday Morning by Maison Margiela
Lazy Sunday Morning is a unisex Eau de Toilette from 2013 by Louise Turner. The top is aldehydes, lily-of-the-valley and pear. A heart of iris, orange blossom and rose follows, and the base holds ambrette, patchouli and white musk.
It shares iris and ambrette with You, and Parfumo's comparison page labels the pair "moderately similar". It differs by being fresher and cooler, and its accords run clean and fresh. Community votes on its longevity lean moderate. Its sillage votes also lean moderate. Community voters most often pick it for spring and summer. It suits office perfumes too, as a day scent.

Try two side by side before a bottle
Pick two perfumes from different groups and wear one on each wrist, then switch sides the next day. A 3ml decant gives you around 60 sprays, so you can test properly. A 10ml decant gives you around 200 sprays, for the one you reach for every day.
Not a Perfume starts at €8.90 for 3ml. Fleur de Peau is €13.23 for 3ml, or €3.73/ml in the 10ml. Lazy Sunday Morning is €8.01 for 3ml.
Wear each for a week on skin before deciding, because Glossier says You smells a little different on everyone, and only your own skin shows how each one wears. If one wins, move up to a larger decant. For more ways to test before you commit, read our guide to safe blind buy perfumes.
