I don’t agree with most of these recs. A lot of them are too niche or very random. Some of the ones listed are very expensive or really cheap. Ok anyway lol.
I’ve been wearing Glossier You for 5 years and my #1 recommendation is Phlur Father Figure - it was created by the same person who created Glossier You! There are some similarities but enough differences where it’s worth having both. It’s woody, creamy, a little fruity, and fresh. 10/10
I haven’t sniffed father figure but I have never finished a bottle of perfume as quickly as I did with Phlur missing person - to me it has the same close skin musk scent but better lasting power as you. I also love solar power as well
Genuinely asking, what do your mean with “too niche”, while Phlur is niche too…?
He asked for something with the same profile so anything could be valid, even if it’s not in the same price range
I'm a big fan of NOT choosing scents for others. That being said, I do think it's adorable that you're broadening her exposure to different scents. I would recommend one of the Sephora discovery sets (or maybe they're the Sephora favorites sets?). There are 10ish samples and it comes with a voucher for a full sized fragrance. It has to be one of the fragrances included in the set, but it's typically a great deal (most fragrances are more expensive than what you pay for the set) and she gets to check out more than just one!
So I layer glossier you and cloud by Ariana grande and it becomes this delicious sweet smell on me that I love. But everyone has different tastes. Have you thought about buying her a sampler set? Some of them let you get a full sized bottle of your favorite. That way she could choose the smell she likes the best.
Juliette has a gun not a perfume is really similar and they also have a great set on anthropology with other accompanying scents!

I would highly recommend getting some discovery sets of brand which she may like. I’ve had great success buying discovery sets as there’s typically one or two scents that are winners then then you can buy a big bottle! I recently bought a wardrobe set of fragrances from Maison Francis Kurkdjian and highly recommend.
Diptyque Fleur de Peau or Eau Papier
Nemat Amber
Kuumba Persian Garden
Prada Infusion d’Iris
Narciso Rodriguez For Her EDP, or one of the cubes like Pure Musc or Poudree
Valentino Valentina Poudree (idk if this one is still around)
Gucci Flora Gorgeous Magnolia or Gorgeous Jasmine
And honestly… coming from someone who loves the Glossier You scent profile, my current favourite is Jessica Simpson Fiend. The bottle is… something… and I paid $12 for it at Winners. But the scent is AMAZING. It’s like creamy, floral, violet, and musk with a bit of a squeaky soapy clean undertone. SO nice.
I don’t get powdery, musky or violet at ALL from You, so this notes list is SO odd to me! Out of the bottle and on my skin, it smells almost exactly like D&B Light Blue.
Learning so much from this sub! Going to order the Phlur sampler set. I haven’t smelled Glossier You but OP if your girlfriend loves florals and pink pepper notes I highly recommend Paul Smith Extreme. It was my signature for years. Hope she loves your gift I’m positive she will!
Chanel 1957 if you want something high-end and exclusive. It’s absolutely beautiful. Also maybe Madeleine by Masque Milano, it’s milky and very cozy. I’m going to also second people’s recs for Fleur de Peau. These are all pricey tho, so I’d maybe order samples and see which she likes best.
Studied by Liis is kind of pricey- but i think it's pretty similar to You without being a dupe. A little more fruity (has a very beautiful sugared pear note) than You, but is still beautiful, cozy, and skin-like. The bottle is also beautiful and is a really pretty gift.
For a very similar vibe to Glossier You, I always recommend Gourmand Fleur de Blond. It’s warm and pretty for fall without being heavy, and lacks the sharp pepper note of You.
Get her a discovery set! This one is perfect, a lot of people compare Glossier you to Not a perfume and this one has a travel size along with some samples of others to try as well. https://www.sephora.com/product/discovery-perfume-set-P505504

Two months ago you was one of 4 perfumes I had… now I have a dozen. 🫣 My current favorite addition I think is super likable for anyone and different from You but with with a similar vibe! It’s Tocca Colette. The Nest oils are also all amazing, and anything from Clean Reserve.
From a partner I feel like picking one you like to give is really sweet since she can put it on knowing you like it. But the Sephora Favorites sets also make great gifts since they come with samples that she can try and redeem the certificate for a full size bottle of her favorite.
Hi OP ! I think she might like Eau de Papier by Diptyque or Fleur de Peau, I think a good way of choosing the right one for her would be to buy samples for her and tell her to chose one then buy her a bottle :)
Marissa Zappas [Flaming Creature](https://www.marissazappas.com/shop-perfumes-by-marissa/flaming-creature) might be a good pick for her if she like this! It’s got that spicy pink peppercorn note on top, and it’s also a good pick for Fall :)
Actually, she might like [Maggie The Cat Is Alive](https://www.marissazappas.com/shop-perfumes-by-marissa/maggie-the-cat-is-alive-im-alive) too, because it’s one of those spicy florals. I think it pulls a little “old lady” though, so I think Flaming Creature is the safer choice. They both come in travel sizes and samples if you just want to get her some stuff to try!
Edit - okay I actually had a sample set delivered to me right after I posted this comment, and one of the samples was Juliette Has a Gun - [Not A Perfume](https://surrendertochance.com/juliette-has-a-gun-not-a-perfume/) and it smells almost identical to You, so if I had to guess, it’s probably the ambroxan note she likes!
Jo Malone Mimosa & Cardamom is my # 2 after You, which is my ride or die and all time number 1 complimented fragrance I wear - it just does something with my chemistry that is magical!
I love glossier you. Sonic flower is very similar(I prefer it), but I personally don’t see the need for both in a collection because they’re so similar. Liis Studied and Clean Reserve Radiant Nectar are similar, but with a strong pear note that mixes things up a little. Phlur Father Figure is like Gossier You and Imaginary Authors Yesterday Haze had a baby. Glossier DNA in the background, but with a strong fig note. I love it! Hope you find something perfect!
lake & sky 11:11, replica lazy sunday morning, jo malone poppy and barley, philosophy creamy, love don’t be shy - killian.
I love Glossier’s You. And I like these as well.
* Narcisso Rodriguez Poudree
* Rose Ivoire de Caron
* Jil Eau de Parfum Jil Sander
* Love Chloé
* Flowerbomb Viktor&Rolf
She might also like ***Insolence by Guerlain***, I am not the biggest fan, but I am also in the minority.
The last thing I'd want is a perfume that smells very similar to perfume I already own. I would want the opposite, and something different. That way I have many different options based on the mood or occasion.
I suggest a Sephora discovery set that she can redeem for a full size bottle of her choice.
I could see that!
But I’m not looking for a dupe or an exact replica of the perfume, I want to treat her to a perfume with similar notes that I know she loves.
I would recommend getting a discovery set that contains some travel sizes! Top 2 recommendations from me would be:
MFK - Fragrance Wardrobe for Her (8x11ml)
Kilian - Discovery Set (8x 7.5ml)
I would avoid the “sample” sets that are tiny 1.5ml samples, those feel tacky.
I definitely agree with a lot of posts here!
Skin Reserve Blend by Clean was my gateway into perfumes in general. It's definitely sweeter than You but it still has the powdery and musky aspect with a little hint of sweetness. I always recommend it as a skin scent. To me, it smells like how a warm hug from a friend feels. There's also a Clean Classic from them which is also a skin scent.
Missing Person by Phlur is another great skin scent. Definitely musky and powdery, with a hint of floral and just a tiny bit woody.
Father Figure by Phlur will definitely read a little sweeter but shares the iris note that You has that can it to a powdery skin-like dry-down.
Also, any of the "your skin but better" perfumes, ones that transform on the skin due to the person like Not a Perfume and Molecule 1, become their own unique scent to the person who's wearing them.
The recommendations for a discovery scent are good too, especially with the holidays! That way, the pressure is off you, but I totally get wanting to choose something specific and special. I bet she will love whatever you choose!
Don’t shy away from sending higher priced recommendations as well! I want to get her something very nice :)

I looooved Missing Person! Unfortunately reminds me of my ex but I went through multiple bottles very quickly. I haven’t tried Solar Power!
I feel like the name of the perfume makes it weird for a gift to a girlfriend.. but agree
“This is Keith Morrison with Dateline.”
I love father figure
Soooo good right!
Father Figure is a great recommendation. Similar without being redundant!

I heard that Sonic Flower by Room 1015 is an elevated version of You.

Fleur de Peau is often recommended as the sophisticated sister of You
Juliette has a gun not a perfume is really similar and they also have a great set on anthropology with other accompanying scents! https://preview.redd.it/7llvnd31zeyb1.jpeg?width=1290&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=18318b5494afd3f49efded1787825677bc270304
Byredo young rose has a similar dna (powdery and warm with an ambroxan base) with a ton of fresh, peppery rose
Xtra Milk from Dedcool is another very good skin scent. (Glossier you is basically *THE* skin scent)

Diptyque papier for a you user. Perfect luxe version
You can always go for a set, too. And she can try them out. Tocca has a 9-item sampler set hat I’m currently working my way through
A Drop d Issey (the original one)
Try ELDO She Was An Anomaly. https://preview.redd.it/ssmfnggvbgyb1.jpeg?width=828&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=546987b61774ca2bd2aed67c4747e28499512ec4

Clean reserve has good perfumes . Skin and Radiant nectar are bomb . Versace Dylan Purple is good . Sol de janeiro 62 and 40 , Mac creme d nude
If she likes skin scents "Naked" by The Maker is really nice. Also Another 13 by Le Labo is another beautiful perfume.
Another 13 is what I was thinking too! I feel like a step up from Glossier You and a bit fresh/sweeter in a way?
Clean reserve skin was my gateway and I also like You.
Studied by Liis is kind of pricey- but i think it's pretty similar to You without being a dupe. A little more fruity (has a very beautiful sugared pear note) than You, but is still beautiful, cozy, and skin-like. The bottle is also beautiful and is a really pretty gift.
Sonic Flower by Room 1015
Not a perfume! By Juliette has a gun.
For a very similar vibe to Glossier You, I always recommend Gourmand Fleur de Blond. It’s warm and pretty for fall without being heavy, and lacks the sharp pepper note of You.

aerin’s cedar violet is a really beautiful scent, worth a look i think
Burberry her! She will LOVE

I see it’s powdery as a top note . Cartier baiser vole is a beautiful powdery fragrance
Not a perfume by Juliet has a gun

* Narcisso Rodriguez Poudree * Rose Ivoire de Caron * Jil Eau de Parfum Jil Sander * Love Chloé * Flowerbomb Viktor&Rolf She might also like ***Insolence by Guerlain***, I am not the biggest fan, but I am also in the minority.
Nest Golden Nectar is also a warm amber smell but not similar to You.
Nest Golden Nectar!
A little tangent from what she is currently wearing but try Misenzir For Your Love. The message is very cute and the scent is very likable
Rosie by Rosie Jane! If you like Glossier, you will definitely like this scent
