Snif earns largely positive reviews for creative, unisex fragrances and powerhouse candles that often draw compliments and feel luxe, indicating the brand is good for both newcomers and collectors. Reviews flag inconsistent longevity and projection across perfumes, recurring smoky/powdery “DNA” that can read generic or juvenile to some, and occasional scents skewing overly sweet or synthetic, while strengths include memorable collabs, nuanced gourmands like Crumb Couture and popular scents such as Sweet Ash, Tart Deco, and Golden Ticket.

  • I smelt a bunch of these at Ulta and they are just not for me. They smell abit cheap and juvenile IMO. I could imagine a teenager loving these but i like my fragrance to be a little more complex that what is brand is offering.

  • This smells so incredible and makes me feel like I’m on a tropical vacation! I am truly obsessed with this and get so many compliments every time I wear it. This sprays evenly and wears all day long, this is perfect for summer time!

  • Best candle I have ever bought and/or smelt, and I have bought a lot. My partner does not ever comment on candles but he did as soon as I lit this. It gives off the most pleasant scent and also fills our entire apartment. Will repurchase again and again.

  • The best scent ever!! I've never received more compliments on a scent than with Snif Me. It compliments my own skin chemistry as a skin-scent, so it also smells a little bit different on everyone (so cool!).

  • I’m not a gourmand girlie at all so please don’t take my opinion the wrong way haha. This is definitely a fragrance that lives up to the name because it smells JUST like a warm stack of pancakes. It’s sweet and fluffy, and I can definitely smell the syrup in the fragrance. A little goes a long way because the scent is STRONG. I don’t think that this is particularly a fragrance you use on the daily basis but if you’re a fan of gourmand scents, you will not be disappointed. The only downside is that the scent wears off quickly and you kinda just stay smelling sugary. Not a bad fragrance, just not one thing I would ever repurchase

  • The packaging of these are really cool - they look slick and the magnetic cover hold is an awesome feature that was a nice surprise. As for the scents - I like the ones I got! They felt accurate to the website descriptions, so was happy with what I received. The one thing is that these feel more like a body spray than a perfume or cologne. The scent does not last as long as other fragrances within the same price point, but the bottles are small enough to carry around and reapply. Overall happy with this brand, and will definitely look into new fragrances and if they improve upon the longevity of the scent.

  • I purchased the mini trio bundle of perfumes via a Thingdrop with the intention of finding a new perfume scent without committing to a full bottle... After polling the Thingtester slack community, I went with Tart Deco, Sweet Ash, and Me. Tart Deco is by far my favorite (already ran out) - it's a great warm, cherry, sweet scent that's not too overpowering - I got so many compliments, going to buy the full size now :) On the other hand, me and sweet ash were a bit of a drier scent for my liking - I prefer Sweet Ash over Me, but definitely grabbed Tart Deco the most.

  • I ordered the 'vow factor' scented candle, and also was sent a free sample of citrus circus with the order. I've really enjoyed the candle! For the size & for being a 'luxury candle', it's pretty affordable. The smell is definitely much warmer than anticipated (more creamy fig/cashmere than a green type fragrance) but it's pleasant. Really good as a calming scent, doesn't smell synthetic or cheap. Unfortunately the citrus circus fragrance smells exactly like when you go into a department store and all the perfumes mix together and give you a headache. Smells pretty synthetic, and it's STRONG. Maybe some of their other fragrances are nice, but I'll stick to just the candles.

  • For simple scents that are easy to layer and inoffensive, this seems like a reliable and affordable brand. I'd give a set of these to a teenager in my life and feel confident they would enjoy them. I'm in my 30s and tend to go for more complex, high-end scents. None of the three I tried blew me away, but their simplicity made them so easy to layer with each other, as well as the rest of my scent wardrobe.

  • I received a sample size of the collab candle that snif did with Levain cookies. I’m a huge Levain fan but I’m pretty particular about scents. The candle is cute, packaging is aligned to the brand, but the smell doesn’t quite hit the mark for me. It’s very coconut forward for something that’s supposed to be reminiscent of a chocolate chip cookie.

  • These candles burn evenly and have a good amount of throw. Heal the Way is a gentle, fresh scent. I received a sample of Suganami and really, really liked it! I also ordered the candle in collaboration with Levain. I haven't burned it yet but it smells divine. I would recommend the candles and would also try their scents when I order again.

  • I got the Levain candle collab and a small bottle of the pancake perfume/fragrance. The levain candle is insanely impressive. Lots of depth and deliciousness. As an expat from NY, this makes me feel at home. The pancake fragrance was accurate but a little sickly smelling…I felt like a kid who didn’t wash their hands after breakfast.

  • It’s been called a mall scent from friends but not in a bad way. It’s cozy, it’s familiar; it’s a scent that you’d smell walking up to a girl sitting in the food court while nervously asking her number. It’s a cute vibe, not grown but not immature. Longevity is very decent lasting me 5-7 hours after 2-3 sprays. Love the magnetic bottle top and the bottle feels modern and chic.

  • I love my Snif scents! Burning Bridges and Tart Deco are two I enjoyed samples of, but I decided to try out “Swede Tooth” in full size and it’s a nice fragrance that’s fruity and floral, but not too sugar-sweet. I have also fell in love with two discontinued scents, Poppy Issues and Ex on the Beach, which I’m sad to not have any longer! The magnetic caps are satisfying as well 😜

  • I’ve been a Snif fan since day one. I have truly enjoyed every product that I have tried from them so far. I love the brands creativity in designing fun, unique fragrances that other brands aren’t doing. I also find the scents to be long lasting, with good throw/projection.

  • My experience with Snif has been exceedingly good. I bought a limited edition collab candle (the Standard-Private Hours) and the Golden Ticket fragrance. Money well spent! The candle smells incredible. It is sweet, warm, and smoky. And the Golden Ticket has a top note of pure imagination, gobstopping middle notes, and an oompa loompa base note. I will be rocking it all December as my own personal tie-in to the new Wonka movie. Both items are good enough for me to explore both product lines more throughly.

  • My boyfriend got me the 3 set sampler for my birthday because I have been on the long search to find my signature scent. I tried out sweet ash, burning bridges, and show pony. Ultimately, I kept burning bridges and sent the other 2 back, but I still got to keep the testers which is cool.

    Nothing - happy with the scent and the process!

  • Snif is the only place I go for scents these days. Sweet ash is one I'm obsessed with. The scents all smell familiar but at the same time unique enough where it's something you feel like you've never smelled before. The experience in total is also very cool. Amazing packaging, trial samples to try and keep, send back what you don't want, only pay for what you keep. Continue to try every new scent that comes out of Snif!

  • You want to smell good? Get Snif. The quality of the product is great, the smell lasts all day on just 1 or 2 sprays. I also love the packaging and branding of it all. The cap for the spray is magnetic and it's so so satisfying. I also got their candles which are also beautiful. I wasn't a fan of the smells of all of them, but that's a personal preference.

    I would love a sample pack of all the scents in those small bottles.

  • I really enjoyed the fragrances from Snif - I think they smelled amazing! I liked that they provide this luxury and unique fragrance experience but also being relatively affordable. I tried the Sweet Ash and would like to try other different scents too.
