Not A Perfume is extremely divisive, with reactions ranging from love to hatred depending heavily on individual skin chemistry and potential genetic anosmia to its key molecules. The fragrance works beautifully for some wearers who find it comforting and receive compliments, but others experience it as unpleasantly sharp or can't smell it at all, making it one of the most unpredictable fragrances in the community.
Positief
Unique skin scent that smells different on everyone based on chemistry
Grows on you over time with repeated wear
Receives genuine compliments despite wearer's personal dislike
Warm, clean, and comforting for those who connect with it
Negatief
Highly polarizing - some people smell nothing at all due to anosmia
Others experience it as sharp, caustic, or unpleasant (burning plastic, chemicals, vinegar)

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.
Positief
Pleasant, appealing scent profile with subtle skin scent quality
Good for those who prefer non-projecting fragrances
Performs well on some individuals despite reformulation
Receives genuine compliments from others hours after application
Negatief
Severe longevity issues post-reformulation (2 minutes to 1 hour for many users)
