Crumb Couture

this perfume is so yum. i think snif did their big one with crumb couture and it is their best scent released so far. i, unlike many others, do pick up on the croissant smell off the first spray. it smells very buttery and pastry like in my opinion. i find myself smelling the black currant next. as it dries down, the croissant smell defiantly lessens but i find myself still smelling it until the scent fades completely. i smell the vanilla, tonka bean, black currant and rose jam as it continues to dry, with an emphasis on the rose jam. it smells so edible but interestingly enough, don't find it to be terribly sweet...but sweet of course, don't get me wrong. i've been wearing this for about a year now and its an amazing fall scent. i also don't understand people saying it doesn't last long. it will stay on my skin off 1 spray around maybe 2.5 hours and 2-3 sprays can last me all day. and on my clothes? oh believe we are smelling it until its washed. i get whiffs of myself ALL DAY. im serious!!! one of my fav uni scents as a student. not a basic sweet/gourmand perfume, she does stand out! she has personality! everyone is different and experiences will vary, but to me, this is a scent is a great investment if you are a gourmand fan. i think it can be a safe blind buy IF your skin can handle buttery/pastry notes and jammy/fruity notes. i know of some people say the dry down of these notes is not pleasant. but a great, inexpensive, fun, statement scent. worth a try for sure!

After hearing one of my fave fragrance influencers rave about this, I found a cheap 1/2 used 10 mL of this in a bundle and figured why not. I was nervous...I wasn’t sure what to expect, but surely wasn’t expecting THIS. I have always thought I didn’t like rose, and tended to avoid it all together; I was also afraid of the bready note. Basically , I wasn’t up for smelling like yeast or like I spilled a beer on myself. this fragrance is STUNNING and oddly nostalgic to me- it smells like walking into the mall near where I grew up. it smells like walking past Mrs. Fields and Cinnabon, headed directly for Abercrombie. it’s foodie and edible with a wearable, unisex-leaning depth that reminds you it is a fragrance without being cloying. I get the rose a bit but it is jammy and in the background for me. I get a flash of berries if I think about it in the beginning, then they are gone and it is temporarily, admittedly, very yeasty. however, the beautiful dry down is definitely worth it and I find myself reaching for this, mostly using before bed. I could see myself wearing this during the day during the colder months for sure. :)

Fascinating. Absolutely fascinating. This is fairly accurate to the idea I had in my head about how this could smell. It's more jammy than I anticipated, less salty/savory, but certainly croissant in all truth. In the opening I couldn't smell the bready-ness of the croissant, but merely jam alongside a vanillic sweetness. The jam is a strawberry or raspberry type of affair, and adds dimension to this. I'm glad it's there actually. As it dies and fruits settle down, the bakery notes emerges and peeks through the sweet vanilla. Yes...it IS flakey, buttery, delicious smelling croissant. Hot Cakes was legitimately pancake-y, and this is authentically croissant-y. I think when Snif sets out to be accurate to gourmonds, they pull it off. It's believable perfumery, and I applaud this. Also, I'd probably sooner wear this than Hot Cakes, this is airy, and has a slight perfumey background. It's buttered croissants with jam and powdered sugar with vanilla flavoring; but altogether pretty. Very enjoyable.

This makes my eyes roll up into the back of my head. One of my favorite gourmand perfumes. Photorealistic jammy croissants. It’s also a cozy scent to me, and I’ve worn it to bed. The lasting power is poor from my sample, so I also purchased the DUA dupe, which the reviews said has way more longevity. Edit: The DUA dupe is fabulous, spot on, and has the longevity I was looking for from Snif. I’m testing them side by side. The DUA brand has more croissant than Snif, and this addition smells better to my nose. The Crumb Couture is fading very fast on skin, within fifteen minutes. The DUA brand is going strong as if I had just sprayed it. The jam in both are very similar, very, but not exact. I kind of am coming to the conclusion that the DUA brand improved on Crumb Couture to be honest. I’m personally surprised, but on skin.. it is what it is. Grab the DUA one!

I received this as a gift for my birthday after spraying it on myself for months every time I'd visit an ulta. I love this so much. It's yeasty and bready, but not too warm. I can't stand a brown sugar note or overbearing warmth, and this does not have that - it's just sweet bread, maybe some butter. I love how odd it is, honestly. It brings me so much comfort to wear. On my skin I really do not get any of the jammy notes, it's just bread - croissant-like, if you will. This will be my go-to for all of fall. I will say, this snif fragrance does not have as much projection as the others; every time i've worn "me" everyone can smell me, it lingers really well, where as this one is much closer to the skin (which honestly, I love - because yes I do want someone to hug me and go wow, she smells like bread).
