Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - You EDP
A minimalist powdery musk that melts into your skin, Glossier You is the ultimate 'your skin but better' scent. Comforting, soft, and quietly radiant, it is modern, intimate, and effortlessly wearable.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Les Exceptions Over The Musk EDP
The reference musk for those who crave subtlety and sophistication. Over The Musk is a cocoon of soft powder and clean woods, never animalic, always poised. Its gentle presence is as comforting as white cashmere on bare skin.

Season and Occasion Fit

You

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Autumn
Also Works:
Summer

The musky powdery core and soft iris make it ideal for spring and fall, while the clean, airy character is fresh enough for summer. It lacks the heft and density for true winter impact.

Occasions

Best For:
Office Date Casual

Its intimate projection and soft powdery musky character make it perfect for office and daily wear, as it will not offend. For dates it is subtly sensual, but too understated for formal or sport contexts.

Les Exceptions Over The Musk

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Autumn Winter
Also Works:
Summer

Its musky-powdery core and soft woody base lend themselves beautifully to transitional seasons like spring and fall, while its subtlety and warmth make it wearable in winter too. Summer wear is possible but less ideal due to the heavier musky and powdery facets.

Occasions

Best For:
Office Date Casual
Also Works:
Formal

Over The Musk's intimate sillage and clean musky texture make it superb for the office, dates, and everyday wear, where subtlety is valued. It's less suited for sports due to its powdery, enveloping character, and its understated presence doesn't demand the formality of evening events.
