Looking for a cheaper alternative to the Glossier You Eau de Parfum (50 mL)? It usually sells for about $82. Here are 4 cheaper swaps from $32: the ALT. Fragrances Me (60 mL) is the closest match from another brand and the Glossier You Solid (3 g) is a cheaper option from Glossier. Each one says what you give up for the lower price.
The Glossier You Eau de Parfum (50 mL) ($82) is worth it if you want the original skin scent rather than an interpretation. Glossier lists a pink pepper top, an iris heart and a base of ambrette and ambrox that “wears close to skin”, so it smells a little different on everyone. It suits people who want a subtle scent: StyleVanity's reviewer found it stays close to the skin and fades after a few hours.
If you want the scent style for less per bottle, the ALT. Fragrances Me (60 mL) ($32) is an extrait de parfum that ALT says is inspired by the original Glossier You, not its spin-offs. The Dossier Musky Orris Eau de Parfum (50 mL) ($32) publishes a note list close to Glossier's, but it was sold out when checked. If you want the real thing for travel or to test, the Glossier You Eau de Parfum (8 mL) ($32) is the same perfume, and the Glossier You Solid (3 g) ($35) is a softer, alcohol-free balm in a refillable compact.

StyleVanity's reviewer found that it fades after a few hours and needed reapplying mid-day, and that it stays close to the skin. ALT says its Me is an extrait de parfum, a richer concentration where a few sprays go a long way.

Every swap is a product sold in the US that does the main job of the original. Close match is another brand with similar features, Same brand, cheaper is an older, smaller or renewed model from the same maker, and Budget pick is the cheapest thing that still does the job. On each page, Closest match is the close match nearest the original in price, and Lowest price is the cheapest swap. We compare published specs, retailer listings and reviews; we don't test products ourselves.
A cheaper product is cheaper for a reason. Each swap says what you give up, like weaker noise cancelling, a smaller screen or a shorter warranty, so you can decide if the savings are worth it.
