The r/fragrance community expresses cautious interest in Hue due to its appealing fruity floral composition and gender-neutral positioning, but criticizes the contradictory marketing language and expresses frustration at the scarcity of actual reviews.

Glossier You is divisive in the fragrance community, primarily due to its post-reformulation performance. While the scent profile itself receives praise for being pleasant and wearable, the drastically reduced longevity (often just minutes to hours) makes it a poor value at its premium price point. Performance varies significantly between individuals, with some reporting all-day wear while others describe it as a fleeting whisper, creating widespread frustration about quality control.
