The brand broke the mould with its first fragrance, Glossier You, a base note-forward blend (think floral but woody iris and warm ambrette seeds) that smells different on everyone. And now, Glossier has two new skin-enhancing scents, including You Doux, which shares ambrette and ambrox notes with the OG aroma but rounds out its woody feel with palo santo, frankincense and myrrh.

Chloé’s latest fragrance collection explores some of the extraordinary flowers whose aroma changes at a specific time of night.
