Solid Perfume: Solid Fragrance | Glossier You
Glossier You perfume solid—the same beloved clean, warm scent in a sculpted metal fragrance compact.
Always with You.
Creamy, warm, sparkling notes of ambrox, ambrette, musk, iris root and pink pepper are encased in a metal compact that’s sculpted to perfectly fit the curve of your palm and thumb, with an addictively flippable swivel.
The solid formula is softer and more intimate, with an alcohol-free, anhydrous wax base that quite literally melts into skin and holds the fragrance close, almost like it’s a part of you. Instead of being surrounded by a cloud of scent, you get friendly reminders throughout the day when you catch a whiff of your wrist or the neck of your sweater.
WHY IT’S SPECIAL:
Materials: the solid fragrance lives in a removable, recyclable tin tray, and secures into the weighted metal compact with a magnet. The compact is coated in pink enamel, and features a hidden smile wave, debossed G logo, and ergonomic thumbprint. It’s packed in a recyclable, molded paper carton and secured with a reusable rubber band for safe transit.

Glossier is a skincare and beauty brand founded by Emily Weiss in 2014. It started as an online-only company, building on the popularity of the beauty blog "Into the Gloss". Its marketing challenged traditional norms and beauty standards.
Perfume (UK: , US: ; French: parfum) is a mixture of fragrant essential oils or aroma compounds (fragrances), fixatives and solvents, usually in liquid form, used to give the human body, animals, food, objects, and living-spaces an agreeable scent. Perfumes can be defined as substances that emit and diffuse a pleasant and fragrant odor. They consist of manmade mixtures of aromatic chemicals and essential oils. The 1939 Nobel Laureate for Chemistry, Leopold Ružička stated in 1945 that "right from the earliest days of scientific chemistry up to the present time, perfumes have substantially contributed to the development of organic chemistry as regards methods, systematic classification, and theory."
Ancient texts and archaeological excavations show the use of perfumes in some of the earliest human civilizations. Modern perfumery began in the late 19th century with the commercial synthesis of aroma compounds such as vanillin or coumarin, which allowed for the composition of perfumes with smells previously unattainable solely from natural aromatics.
Solid is one of the four fundamental states of matter along with liquid, gas, and plasma. The molecules in a solid are closely packed together and contain the least amount of kinetic energy. A solid is characterized by structural rigidity (as in rigid bodies) and resistance to a force applied to the surface. Unlike a liquid, a solid object does not flow to take on the shape of its container, nor does it expand to fill the entire available volume like a gas. The atoms in a solid are bound to each other, either in a regular geometric lattice (crystalline solids, which include metals and ordinary ice), or irregularly (an amorphous solid such as common window glass). Solids cannot be compressed with little pressure whereas gases can be compressed with little pressure because the molecules in a gas are loosely packed.
The branch of physics that deals with solids is called solid-state physics, and is the main branch of condensed matter physics (which also includes liquids). Materials science is primarily concerned with the physical and chemical properties of solids. Solid-state chemistry is especially concerned with the synthesis of novel materials, as well as the science of identification and chemical composition.
In Modern English, the word "you" is the second-person pronoun. It is grammatically plural, and was historically used only for the dative case, but in most modern dialects is used for all cases and numbers.

I absolutely loved this solid and I am so glad Glossier brought it back. It smells just like the original perfume. It starts off with a peppery and musky kinda smell (which is not my favorite) but then settles down into a lovely, fresh, light flowerly kinda smell! The design of the product is very convenient and the hinge slides both ways. Although it is a little heavier than I thought (which is not a bad thing!). 😅 But overall I love this solid! 🙂

I have a sample of the spray of glossier you and wasn’t sure if I liked it. Wanted this based off the price point and I love the scent much more so I’ll probs give the spray another try! Def more of a skin scent with slight projection at first but it smelled good on my wrist for a few hours. Reapplied after about four hours. I like that it’s refillable, cute, easy to travel with, the price, so I would recommend this to try as I liked how it sat on my skin.

The product is really heavy and feels like great quality! Smells like fresh laundry straight out the drier but also has floral hints. The thumb indent is genius and comfortable + addicting to hold. Also worth noting it opens both ways – you can twist the top left or right. The product is hard at first and you need to warm it up and maybe push your finger into it a bit to really get the full scent and application. Smells just like the perfume and stays on all day. The only thing that bothers me is the pan spins when you swirl your finger in it so you have to do more of a back and forth motion, which fine – I guess it’s slightly smaller than the case so it can pop out and be replaced with a refill.

i am a die-hard You stan but never got the chance to buy the original solid! i’m so happy that i can have it in a little compact now to take with me wherever—a must-have addition to my tote bag! the compact is way heavier than expected & feels so luxury!! so excited to finally have my fave fragrance on the go!

I’ve always worn Glossier You, and have always preferred it in the solid form for no specific reason. It was discontinued for the longest time, so thank you so so much for bringing it back to life!!
