Hot Cakes

My first Snif bundle (came with the whipped cream), and I’m loving it! For the price point, it can’t be beat, and though I can’t remember the last time I ate pancakes or anything similar, the smell hits that sugary maple syrup without being too sweet or too thick, it’s just right. Granted, these are edt, so my expectations on it lasting for a while isn’t strong but for the price, I’d def think it’s FB worthy esp since they are now on sale for the moment. It is a bit confusing though as i start to think the smaller versions are edt vs the larger sizes, which are thr same, which I say is confusing as when they are in bundles like the one I got which was just this and whipped cream, that scent is described as a body spray. Either way I am so loving this esp for fall. Not a date night sent but a hanging out doing random stuff scent. Also got the tanning slash since im a sucker for sunscreen scents but haven’t smelled it yet. Love the whipped cream tho, its not as u iwuenas this but I think I’d wear whipped cream a lot so think ill need another bottle while its still on sale. Very pleased and impressed. Next one will either be coco shimmy, vanilla vibes, or sweet ash. Can’t decide if I should buy full sizes of them all or but the smaller version which includes tart deco which doesn’t seem up my alley but it includes the other 3, so small version wise, it’s cheaper to buy that, but feel like I’m either gonna love vanilla shimmy or use it as a room refresher, think I’ll like coco shimmy more since it’s supposed to be more beachy. Oh well gotta try them all and then some. Saw they did a collab w Lenvain bakery in their site but as much as I love a good cookie and dark chocolate, I do not fancy chocolate or coffee for that matter in my scents. I’d try crumb couture if I hadn’t read that it had so much blueberry, not my thing. Great blind buy.

Photorealistic fresh pancakes, fresh off the griddle, DOUSED in some butter-flavored pancake syrup (not natural maple; think Mrs. Butterworth's). I can taste it vividly when I smell this. I swear, you can just FEEL the thick syrup oozing out of fluffy pancakes as you bite in. To emphasize how edible this is: smelling it on my wrist is making my brain feel like it should be sticky. It's like I just devoured some IHOP pancakes so quickly, I got some syrup on myself in the process. Downright scrumptious. I find it strange that this was released right as winter comes to a close... This is such a perfect, warm gourmand for the cold months. It feels a bit *too* sweet and thick for the warm days approaching. I'll definitely be getting a full size to hang onto, though; as a fan of hyper-realistic gourmands, this is incredible. I could bathe in this. In all honesty, Snif doesn't usually excite me too much. But this did. Edit: I'm seeing a lot of comparisons to Crumb Couture, and while I get where people are coming from (sweet, buttery), there was something about Crumb Couture that I strongly disliked. Too much of that butter note, which ended up smelling gross on me, unfortunately. This works far better with my skin chemistry. The buttery goodness is still there, but it's not as prominent. If you don't like Crumb Couture, but you like the concept, this might be for you! Don't let the comparisons scare you off!

This smells so much like actual pancakes and syrup that it is truly bizarre. Not like pancakes and *perfume*, but like actual pancakes and syrup. The first time I sprayed it at Ulta I was flabbergasted, like who on earth wants to smell like pancakes all day??? And then I couldn't stop sniffing myself. And I realized... it's me. I'm the one that wants to smell like pancakes all day. I promptly ordered the full size online. This perfume is maple syrup that lasts for HOURS. Buttery baked goods linger underneath, but the syrup is the star of the show. There is just a touch of fruitiness that keeps it from smelling too cloying, but she is sugary sticky GOURMAND. The most edible-smelling scent ever. My favorite is when it's about 3-4 hours old, and it melts into your skin and leaves behind this maple syrup musky sweetness. I'm obsessed. I adore this perfume. Is it weird? Yes, absolutely. Is it delicious? 100%. I love the way it clings to my skin and clothes, I can smell it on my jacket sleeves for literal days after I wear it.

Ahhh!!! I've been looking forward to smelling this for at least a month! I'm so happy to report that, YES, this smells EXACTLY like pancakes! This is not at all a serious perfume to me...it's in the class of experimental fragrances, and hyper-real things that are fun to wear. But it's incredibly well-constructed. You get most of the alleged notes. Most obviously here is an underlying sticky syrup. Truly maple syrup as we know it. It's also realistically pancakes, replete with a bready quality. It's soft too...not orris soft, or sandalwood soft, but it's sweetly, sugary-soft with a creamy drydown. Absolutely as advertised. I'm really impressed. Do I want a bottle? Not exactly, but it's delicious and so perfectly pancake-y in every sense (I hoped it would be good, but I didn't anticipate it actually being this awesome)! Just try it even if you're slightly curious, it's a fun one. 🥞 🍁 🥛

Well, everyone has said it! IHOP just sat your buttery pancakes down in front of you & you are pouring on the syrup. I LOVE IT! I have to disagree with the likeness to Crumb Couture, I sent that back, after a blind buy that came with a test sample. EWWW. I also have the Kyse one, it's a cousin, but it's not Hot Cakes. SO realistic, it's amazing how they did that! I had one spray on & could smell it for hours, very unusual for a perfume like this. Great job, SNIF! After the Crumb Couture fail, I wasn't blind buying from them again. Went to Ulta, smelled it & snatched it up SO FAST. No need to wonder what this smells like. You KNOW this smell. I also bought the Berry Styles Body Mist, YUMMMY! Those are the only 2 that have impressed me.

I was really worried about this one because I was scared it would be TOO sweet. Like, Sticky Dates is a fragrance that’s is super sickly sweet and sugary to my nose, and for some reason I though this would be like that. Someone said it smells like McDonald’s syrup, and it lowkey kind of does but I don’t hate it for some reason 🤣 This smells like buttery, syrupy pancakes. I agree it’s more pancake forward and if that’s something you’re interested in, I would totally recommend this. I’ve also had it on for a few hours (on dry skin) and I thankfully can still smell it. Definitely not too sweet, just right; very very soft and comforting. I’m sure this would go insane with their Extra Whip mist (which also smells amazing!)

I originally got a tiny sample of this - and thought it was too familiar to Crumb couture, however they're similar but very different. Hot cakes is the one to buy. It has great longevity, and lots of silage, I always get asked "why do I smell like pancakes or cookies" haha it's my fragrance! I really love layering this one as well. I recently grabbed Ellis Brooklyn's Queens Caramel too and I took it back for a travel spray because it reminded me of Hot cakes as well but not as good. For the price hot cakes really is the better deal. Yummy, lasts long, and its fun to layer with other like minded cozy gourmands, one of the better releases from SNIF for sure!

If you don’t like super sweet scents, stay faaaar away from this perfume! It’s a very photorealistic pancakes and syrup fragrance that even captures the light breadyness of the pancakes. I would say it’s the least wearable of the collection as it’s pretty foodie, but I think it can still be pulled off in most casual environments and especially in the colder months. It has moderate sillage and lasts all day AND MORE. I sometimes even smell remnants of it on my skin after a shower, a night’s rest, AND a day of work. It’s pretty similar to Kyse Douceur Brulee which is just missing the hint of pancakes andI find is actually a bit more buttery than Hot Cakes.

Perfume is so subjective so I can only speak on how it comes off on me, but I absolutely love this perfume😍 It smells exactly like what the notes suggest. I was extremely surprised by how wearable this perfume is. I was thinking it was going to be too sickly sweet and dense to wear on a regular basis and that it would just stay on my shelf as a novelty perfume. But I feel like Snif balances this perfume out perfectly 🤗 For me, the buttery pancakes fizzled out around the 3-4 hour mark and then I was left with a sweet maple that lasted the rest of the whole day. This perfume definitely exceeded my expectations.

So photorealistic that it's hard to wear in regular daily life - like I absolutely love Hot Cakes but don't wear it often. When I do it's on days that I'm home with my baby or before bed. Comforting and sweet. When I apply before bed I can still smell it in the morning so longevity is great. The maple syrup and butter notes are the stars of the show, I pick up on the bready pancake note but I don't get any musk or buttermilk. Also not sure how this is being compared to Crumb Couture, they're totally different - CC is very much a berry croissant and much more "perfumey" than Hot Cakes

OH MY GODDDD! Nosegasm I tell you! This has that lovely baseline that crumb couture has (my favorite scent ever) and OMG ITS ADDICTIVE!! Now there is this lovely maple syrup note and a spongy crumbiness that has me going back for more! This is decadent, fluffy pancakes with rich maple syrup on top and a fat pat of butter on it. God I love butter notes! This is so wonderfully creamy and sweet in the beginning, but the dry down is a tad synthetic, but that’s to be expected. Not as good as it’s predecessor, but pretty fantastic all the same.

mcdonalds breakfast pancakes, but specifically the kind they make when the president goes to mcdonalds. like they definitely put butter on it and made it specially, maybe broke out the nicer syrup, but also its still distinctly mcdonalds hot cakes in a good way. syrup comes first, its thick and sugary and slightly buttery and underneath are slightly maple hot cakes but theyre drenched in it. obama has a picture eating these. big big thumbs up. mmmmmm

As others have said before me... you really have to want to smell like pancakes with syrup. I see people talking about this across platforms and complaining it's too sweet or syrup-y - girl I don't know what you expected. She is what she says she is. VERY true to listed notes. It does fade into a soft musk after a few hours, so it would require a re-apply if you want the scent all day. I layer it with a vanilla. Truly a cool/cold weather perfume.

i love this perfume and all the layering mists!! it’s so fun and it makes me happy! finally a fun, cute, and original idea. if you don’t like the smell of syrup don’t even bother trying this lol. but i think it’s worth smelling bc it’s so unique. i prefer to layer with with berry styles, i like the tart juicy combo with the super sweet gourmand, it smells exactly like buttered, syrupy pancakes with boysenberry on top 🥞🫐

such a beautiful photorealistic scent. warm pancakes with a pad of butter and sweet maple syrup. i don't get much of the musk note, even on the dry down. it stays sweet and almost sticky smelling. i can imagine it would be amazing layer with any vanilla or berry scents. a fruity layering combo would probably cut the sweetness of the maple note. overall super sweet and cozy and beautiful. 9/10.

I like this a lot!! It’s quite sweet and warm, however not as sweet as I was expecting (which is a good thing!). This would be quite nice to wear in the fall and I think I will save it for that season. My only complaint is that I wish the syrup note was more of a realistic maple syrup note instead of the “fake” stuff if that makes sense. If you are fan of gourmands I think you’d like this! 🥞🍁

This perfume truly encapsulates a perfect Sunday morning for me: pancakes on the stove, butter and maple syrup glistening in the sunspot on the breakfast table. It is magical to me, especially how nostalgic the fragrance makes me feel. I, now, religiously wear this every Sunday morning and leave a trail of breakfast goodness around me.

I love this!! It’s dead on walking past a bed and breakfast after everyone has started eating their pancakes with all the butter and Aunt Jemima syrup! It’s not maple like natural but like the store bought generic scent. Although it taste like the stickiest food it’s not super cloying after dry down. Doesn’t feel super heavy.

Got this for xmas and IMMEDIATELY put it on bc i was SO excited about it and it lvoed up to the hype for me. VERY maple-heavy at first but after an hour or 2 ot mellows down to the buttery sugary scent that is like. mouthwatering. For me, it lasted 6-7ish hours. Literally pancakes in a bottle im in love

photorealistic syrupy buttery pancake. layered with berry styles, this is the perfect sweet breakfast perfume. always get compliments when i wear this! sometimes, the initial spray is a little sour? smoky maybe? but the dry down is delicious and it lasts all day, although it does not project very far.
