  • Luxe magnetic packaging design
  • Nuanced, complex fragrance compositions

  • Inconsistent scent longevity performance
  • Occasionally generic, juvenile aromas
  • Same-y powdery brand dna
  • Mini bottles lacking protective lids

Snif delivers crowd-pleasing, long-wearing scents and standout candles, according to reviews, but consistency varies: many praise Sweet Ash, Tart Deco, and Golden Ticket for unique, complex profiles, magnetic packaging, and all-day wear, while others find certain perfumes generic, overly sweet, or short-lived. Reviews also highlight the innovative try-before-you-buy model and gender-neutral design as strengths, with critiques around scent longevity, a same-y brand DNA, and some fragrances reading cheap or juvenile to experienced noses.

  • Every fragrance I have tried by Snif has been beautiful, unique, and long-lasting. Their scents are complex and provide an experience from the initial spray to the dry down. Some of my favorites are Ex on The Beach and Way with Woods. I also love the candles. The pricepoint is also really reasonable.

  • I can't speak to the perfumes but WOW the candles are no joke. I thought the small candle I got was not initially worth the $40 I spent... but I have burned it maybe 30 hours in total so far and it hasn't even reached halfway yet. Plus, the smell stays consistent all the way through so far (no halfway through nose blindness yet!)

  • Sweet Ash is otherworldly!

    Never stop making Sweet Ash.

  • I totally thought the food ones would be just a gimmick and joke-y but no, they smell really nuanced and lovely! I'd wear them a lot if I wore fragance.

  • a really lovely accessible brand for getting into perfume. i feel like the fragrances are complex and well-blended but not too niche or intimidating. of the sample set (sweet ash, tart deco, golden ticket) i feel like they all have a certain smoky undertone, this slightly powdery campfire vibe in the background. tart deco was my favorite, a sexy cherry speakeasy cocktail and cigarette holder kind of scent. juicy but not childish. sweet ash is literally its name, extremely smoky with some floral notes, nothing amazing but a nice mysterious winter scent. didn't love golden ticket, something about it smells off to me, it is definitely a tea scent but something kind of... flat or sterile about it. i was really let down by crumb couture, but i was expecting more buttery pastry from it. it's a nice sugary sweet gourmand, but not for me.

  • So far I've only tried the Tart Deco and I am obsessed. When I first put it on, I wasn't sure about it because it's so different than what I'm used to. My boyfriend loved it immediately so I kept it, and it grew on me so fast! I love the way it smells on him too - like when he puts on a hoodie I was previously wearing. It doesn't seem unisex at first, but it definitely works on both of us. It's one of those things that smells different on everyone but compliments everyone too. It lasts FOREVER too! I just ordered another scent, Vow Factor, and I'm so excited for it to come in the mail.

  • having snif’ed four of their scents now, i can comfortably say that they make a mean perfume. Natural Talent has become one of my everyday fragrances, and although Golden Ticket didn’t quite hit the spot for me (just this side of too similar to Natural Talent to be worth keeping), my father ended up loving it, so it’s become his early fathers day gift! as for the fragrances that /really/ didn’t work for me, the return process was hassle-free! plus, at 65 bucks a bottle, you really can’t beat the price!

  • not all the perfumes are for me, but i love that they let you try before you buy! super cute packaging as well (everyone is always amazed at the magnetic caps). haven't tried their latest collection, but way with woods and sweet ash are my favs

  • I have two snif perfurms and I absolutey adore them!! The packaging is great and they send a cute little sample that I have ended up being able to share with friends. The scents are wonderful and genderless (both me and my best friend can wear them). I like being able to try the scents and send them back if they don't work for me. Definitely one of my favorite, affordable brands!

  • I have so many snif candles and I don’t think I can get a candle from anywhere else after them. I truly love all their scents and the fact that they are nontoxic. The customer service is exceptional and they offer a wide range of options and products.

    The holiday collection candles are amazing! They smell SO good omg!

  • I liked that you can sample items. Everything was straight up honest and understandable. However, I only like very fresh, non floral scents. Using that criteria, all 3 scents were way too floral or sweet. Not a fan

  • I bought Suganami and Way with Woods scents. After running into some logistical issues with shipping (it took 2 weeks), I ended up returning both. The smells were okay, I liked Suganami more than a Way with Woods, but neither one would be my go-to scent.

    Feedback

    Better shipping. Ability to purchase samples alone instead of with the full size bottle.

  • The scents were good and Sweet Ash was one of my favorites. Super well-designed and high-quality packaging. The scents are very strong and nearly lasted all day for me. However, if you find you're sometimes sensitive to strong perfumes this may not be the best fit, which I found to be true for myself. The brand's return policy was super simple and they were very helpful during the return process. I may not repurchase again for myself but I can definitely see myself purchasing a Snif perfume as a gift for a friend or my mom.

  • These smell sooo good! Very luxurious feel, leaves the room smelling like the perfume and long lasting

    Feedback

    I love how the current process works and snif truly made me love fragrance again.

  • Wow this product has the best smells. Packaging is very clean and neat. Looks very high end but the price great. Will definitely purchase again.

  • This brand has the most unique, truly luxurious perfumes I’ve tried in a long time. The scents are not your typical fragrances and the lasting power is superior to any other perfume I’ve tried in the same price point! I’m stopped all the time asking what scent I’m wearing because you can smell it from across the room without being overwhelming. Packaging is also very luxe and trendy; great for gift giving.

  • The cost-to-quality ratio is very high with Snif! Some of their earlier collaborations are really interesting in my opinion. While I wouldn't consider myself a huge fan, I now have quite a few Snif scents in my collection. I do think you either like the Snif "DNA" or you don't – a lot of them have the same underlying powdery notes. I like it, especially in Suganami, but some of their fragrances are a bit same-y. It does seem like their newer releases are less unique (a clean rose! a tropical coconut!) and I likely won't be getting a new one of theirs unless it's really interesting. Also – their minis are the perfect size for travel.

  • This is a brand that was MADE FOR ME. Their collabs are fire (Goodtime Hotel, Steph Suganami, Parcels etc), their witty product names and descriptions speak to my soul, and of course the scents are just straight up delicious. Packaging also feels super luxe but is not too expensive. My only wish is that they would last longer so I wouldn’t have to spray so often!
