Why everyone is talking about Rêve and Doux
The beauty community on TikTok is currently obsessed with the expansion of the Glossier You fragrance line. With the launch of Rêve (a gourmand, plum-heavy scent) and Doux (a woody, soft violet profile), fans are eager to get their hands on these US-exclusive releases. If you are living in Singapore, you have probably noticed that local resellers are already marking these up to eye-watering prices. The best way to ensure you are getting the real deal is to purchase directly from the source using a freight forwarder.
Buying from the US site ensures you get the freshest batch and all the official Glossier perks, including those iconic pink pouches and seasonal stickers. However, shipping liquid fragrances internationally requires a bit of planning due to their flammable nature.
Calculating your shipping costs and estimates
Before you hit the checkout button, it helps to have a blueprint for your logistics costs. Fragrances are relatively small, but they require careful packaging to prevent breakage during international shipping.
| Factor | Estimate |
|---|---|
| Box Weight | Approx. 1.1 lbs (0.5 kg) for a duo set with packaging. |
| Box Dimensions | Small (Approx. 8 x 6 x 4 inches). |
| Volumetric Warning | Low risk. These items are dense and small, so you will likely be charged by actual weight rather than size. |
| Battery Check | No lithium batteries are present in this item. |
Keep in mind that perfumes are often classified as Dangerous Goods (DG) because of their alcohol content. When you forward packages, check if there are specific DG handling fees applied by the carrier. You can use a shipping calculator to get a more precise idea of the total landed cost to your doorstep in Singapore.
Handling the logistics with a freight forwarder
Glossier currently does not ship directly to Singapore. To bridge this gap, you need a tax-free US address. By using comGateway, you can shop any US store and have your items sent to a warehouse in Oregon, where you won't pay any US sales tax. This alone often saves you about 7-10% on the purchase price.
Once your Glossier You Rêve & Doux duo arrives at the warehouse, you can choose your preferred shipping method. Whether you prefer DHL international shipping for speed or FedEx international shipping for reliability, having a dedicated parcel forwarding service makes the process seamless.
Overcoming payment blocks with proxy shopping
One of the biggest hurdles for Singaporean shoppers is the dreaded order cancellation. Some US retailers have strict security filters that block international credit cards or flag addresses associated with forwarding services. If Glossier declines your transaction, don't worry—there is a workaround.
Using a proxy shopping service like "BuyForMe" is the safest way to guarantee your order goes through. With this service, the freight forwarder uses a US-based payment method to buy the item on your behalf. This eliminates the frustration of regional payment blocks and ensures you don't miss out on limited-edition fragrance drops. It is the most reliable "plan B" for any difficult-to-buy US brand.
Navigating Singapore import tax and GST
When your package arrives in Singapore, it will be subject to local regulations. As of 2026, Singapore applies a Goods and Services Tax (GST) on all imported goods. Understanding the import tax landscape is crucial to avoid surprises.
You should factor in the current 9% GST on the total value of your goods, including international shipping rates and insurance. By checking the latest import duties information, you can stay updated on any changes to the de minimis values or tax brackets. While perfumes generally do not incur additional excise duty in Singapore, the GST is mandatory regardless of the item's value for air imports.
Planning your purchase with these steps ensures that your new signature scents arrive safely, authentically, and without unnecessary stress.
