House of 8

I'm in love with this fragrance. When I first got it, it came off a lot more herbal with the sage and lavender being more prominent and the chocolate not lasting too long however, this is one of those fragrances that benefits from a good maceration, though I loved it even before. A few months later, it has transformed into the best chocolate fragrance I have ever smelled. It's dark and powdery, but not in the hot chocolate sense. The herbal elements are still there and provide the fragrance with depth and a richness that is delicious. The lasting power is great, solid 10 hours, you'll definitely smell it on yourself all day. Definitely slightly overpriced, not because of the scent profile but because of the size, given that Snif only sells 30ml bottles, but I think this particular scent is worth it. You can get 10% off from certain perfume reviewers like @Oliviaolfactory, who is great in my opinion, so you don't necessarily have to pay the full 65 dollars. I found this to also be a great fragrance for layering, goes great with Bath and Bodyworks Into the Night, and its amazing with Lattafa's Khamrah Qahwa. Longevity: 8/10 Projection: 7/10 Overall Scent Profile: 9/10

Upon initial application, this is a chocolate-forward frag with a base of vanilla, layered with aromatic sage and lavender. Already five minutes in and the chocolate dissipates to the point of barely being there, but it still lingers. The purple florals add a sweet powdery note and the sandalwood is almost creamy. It leaves you with a masculine-leaning, spicy yet powdery sweet scent, which I think would be perfect for a cool fall evening. The subtle chocolate note adds complexity while pairing beautifully with the vanilla and aromatics. I will be buying a full bottle of this, I can't stop sniffing my wrist!

As someone who prefers gourmands and feminine fragrances and often finds unisex fragrances too dry... this is heavenly to me. I purchased House of 8 as part of a travel size bundle to try it out; safe to say I'll be purchasing a full bottle. I don't get a lot of the chocolate notes, for me the stand outs are the Sage and Sandalwood softened by the Vanilla and Iris. On me House of 8 reads as a little smokey, a little woody, a little powdery, and very sexy. I can't stop smelling my wrists a solid 6 hours after putting it on. Definitely a win for me!

I’m surprised by how much I like this. I’m not sure I would have noticed the chocolate if I hadn’t known it was in there but it is a very sexy masculine-leaning fragrance. It makes me feel fancy and expensive without having to pay the high price tag. I’m not sure why, they have almost nothing in common including fragrance notes, but it reminds me of Halfeti by Panhaligons in the sense that it feels like an old vintage perfume that’s been modernized. It’s very very nice.

A delicious, provocative scent that is beautifully unisex to me. The iris and chocolate notes here coexist in a way that makes it difficult to determine if this is a gourmand or not. My verdict: it’s not. The aromatic feel to this makes it very masculine, but the powdery finish makes it perfect for a woman. Sexy, sensual frags are my favorite, so this will stay in the rotation all year long, I think, though I do believe it’s best for the fall and winter months (duh).
