Side by side
Comparing the originals — price, breadth, listed-note depth.
Opens with a cool, slightly bitter green tea that reads more watery than vegetal, softened almost immediately by a quiet lactonic milk note that keeps things from going sharp. The heart is a hushed jasmine — barely lifted, no indolic edge — sitting inside a cedar and sandalwood framework that reads pale and dry rather than creamy or rich. Projection stays close to skin throughout; sillage is minimal. The dry-down is almost nothing: white musk and a breath of wood, clean and forgettable in the best way — Made for warm-weather days when you want to smell like a thoughtful absence rather than a statement.
Warm, earthy pumpkin opens with a slightly raw, vegetal edge — not bakery sweet, more like flesh than spice. Neroli lifts it early, keeping it from going too heavy, while ginger adds a dry, almost medicinal bite that cuts the softness. The heart settles into powdery heliotrope, grounding things in a cool, almond-adjacent floral. Musk in the dry-down is skin-close and clean, with earthy notes keeping a faint dampness underneath. Projection is modest; sillage is intimate — this stays near the body — best worn in fall or early winter by anyone who wants cozy without smelling edible.
How they overlap
You or Someone Like You and Like This share no notes in common — these two fragrances target very different olfactory territory, and the comparison is a question of which direction you want to go rather than which version of the same accord.
The buying decision
Original-bottle pricing is essentially identical ($185 vs $185), so the choice rarely comes down to upfront cost. You or Someone Like You is built for spring/summer; Like This for fall/winter. Pick by when you'd actually wear it. They sit in different families — You or Someone Like You is fresh+woody, Like This is gourmand+floral. Comparison is more about preference than tradeoff.
Recommendation
