Me

This does smell a lot like other things, but that doesn't make it any less worthy of your attention. On first sniff it gives a familiar comforting sensation. There are many other fragrances in this vein but it takes parts from all of them and combines them into something new. There's an undeniable peach smell to this that reminds me a lot of another fragrance that has been years since I smelled but it's hard to forget: Serge Lutens Daim Blonde. I bet anything now that I love fruity fragrances if I tested it now it'd be a total love but I remember the fruity top notes annoyed me back then so I went with Bottege Veneta instead. The orris note in Me lends a smooth suede like quality instead of feeling powdery. There's sandalwood but it's combined expertly with the musk so that there isn't a woody or even pickled smell that most sandalwoods these days turn on my skin, instead it's a creamy cashmere-like hug of warmth. It reminds me so much of another scent in my wardrobe: Santal Carmin from Atelier Cologne, though that one is sweeter. I don't get any BR540 DNA in this but it does evoke the same smell and vibe in the drydown as another popular snif perfume,Sweet Ash, so I can understand why someone who's familiar with that one would perhaps make that connection. But it's got more in common with Sweet Ash than BR540 to my nose. And nothing in common with Glossier You Reve. Maybe there's a note in that one I'm anosmic to that's present here but to me that one is a creamy sweet almost vanillic pudding and musk. This one only gets it's sweetnes from the fruit when combined with the orris + sandalwood, but it's no where near being gourmand territory. Further sniffs, and now that I've seen the smells like section make my brain go straight to Santal Carmin, I may need to test them side by side now but I still can't get the connection my brain makes to Serge Lutens Daim Blonde out of my mind. It also reminds me of other scents that I owned and were compared to that one quite often: Rihanna Rogue (with it's shared plum note this checks out) and when measured against Bottega Veneta I suppose this one could be considered much sweeter and it's missing the mossy smell that one provided. And again I must say this smells more like suede (probably from the Orris) than leather, but whatever the case may be, this is a modern musk with some character that runs in a much cooler circle than it's modern day counterparts like Glossier You and Escentric Molecules. Don't get me wrong I love those perfumes but they're more clean girl musks and this is more cool girl musk. I can't imagine this being offensive to anyone but it's got just enough intrigue that would have them sniffing the air around them wondering who or what that is because it's great and not likely to have been smelled before. This isn't one of those perfumes that everyone is gonna be walking around smelling like. They'll be in the Baccarat, the Cloud, the Bond No 9 and Glossier. And you (or we) will just be over here smelling like Me, and it'll be the most interesting scent in the room. Another great release from Snif, they're becoming one of my favorite houses. Prices are accessible if you don't think too hard about the price per ml, and you can always grab a nifty 10ml for $25 which is doable if you're the type of person who has ever shopped at Ulta, which is where I first tested this scent out and decided I needed to have it. Considering all the other perfumes I mentioned in this review are discontinued or hard to find, If you liked any of those you should really try this one out and see how you feel about Me.

Oh how I love Me! But this can be, imo, a polarizing fragrance. That said, the inclusion of Baccarat Rouge 540 in the “smells like” section here makes zero sense to me. There is absolutely no resemblance to BR540 in Me whatsoever... except maybe for the fact that BR540 is itself a very polarizing fragrance. The day I discovered this, I had sampled a lot of Snif scents at my local Ulta and not a single one they had displayed grabbed me. In fact, not even this one did at first. I had sprayed the back of my hand with Me, sniffed, and I was kind of underwhelmed. I wandered around the Snif display area for a minute or two, looking at other various Snif fragrances. When I’m in a thoughtful mood, I unconsciously cross my arms and bring my left fist to my chin. When I did this while at the Snif display, I instantly caught a whiff of a delightfully fruity, dewy musk. I thought, “Oh my God, whoa. WOW!” and I began frantically looking at all the Snif bottles. I had forgotten which Snif I had sprayed on my left hand🤷🏻♀️ A very patient salesperson and I had to go through and sample every Snif frag Ulta had on display to figure out which one it was. But I found her, and she’s a beauty. Before I continue, what people are saying about this fragrance is true: it smells somewhat different for and on everyone. So I’m going to say my little rhyming advice here: Try BEFORE you buy. Ok. Now, here’s how Me smells on uh, ...er, ME— —Me is fruity. But not in a sweet way, it’s tart. The musk here is the “warm dewy skin” type. If you’re familiar with Coty Vanilla Musk or the Francis Kurkdjian fragrance “Kurky”, it’s THAT type of musk exactly. Me also smells a bit like cool, moist earth. There’s a petrichor element in Me that reminds me of the smell of snow melt rushing over mossy river rocks in a mountain brook. Although this is marketed as female, I personally think it’s very unisex, and would I love to discover how this smells on a dude? Why, YES. Yes I would. I am very happy that the sandalwood here is creamy and not sharp with that dreaded “pickle” note that seems to plague some sandalwood forward fragrances today. The caramel does add a pinch of sweetness, but it’s so well blended my nose almost doesn’t register it. It’s there, but very subtle. When fully dried down, Me transforms into the most fantastic skin musk scent I own...and I own a lot! Performance: This beautiful stuff lasts a good while on my skin, 6-8 hours. These frags are marketed as eau de toilettes, but when sprayed on skin, you can very clearly see how much of the fragrance oil these scents contain. I think because of that, this performs more like a high quality eau de parfum (on my skin anyway). You probably don’t want to spray your clothes, as this might leave oily spots. If you’d still like to scent your clothing, I suggest using a scarf, or lightly spritzing the inner panels of a blazer/jacket. If you wear one, (I do this all the time, trust me, it works extremely well) try spritzing your brassiere. Projection isn’t very far, but certainly far enough that coworkers, friends and family compliment the fragrance 4-5 hours after I have applied it. So when you’re out and about and someone asks “What smells so good?”, you can relish the mischievous double entendre and say, “It’s Me!” It’s worth the cash to buy two at a time to have a backup! The juice is just. that. good.🥰

I LOVE THIS PERFUME SO MUCH. your skin but better. beautiful scent. juicy but not sweet, luxurious but not pretencious. perfect for daily wear and honestly any and every occasion. i get so many compliments on her whenever i wear it. scent development 🧸 opening/top notes & initial impression: it's just stunning. addicting. i don't know how snif did it (and does it time and time again). there is no stage of this perfume i do not like. i will say, i don't get plum, but the juiciness of the peach is there and i do get the musk, sandlewood, and i think what is the orcanox (google: powerful, sustainably produced synthetic fragrance ingredient by MANE, known for its warm, musky, woody, and powdery scent, acting as a modern, ethical alternative to natural ambergris with a complex profile similar to ambroxan but often described as softer and rounder). but FEAR NOT TO MY POWDERY HATERS (like myself), i do NOT get any powder. phew. 🧸 middle notes: the peach gets more subtle while the plum develops with the sweetness of the caramel, but it's not cloying or childish. 🧸 dry down/base notes: everything ties in together in a beautiful neat bow, yet the fragrance remains classy, timeless, youthful, and honeyed. characteristics 🧸 season(s): all 🧸 occasion: all 🧸 time of day: all 🧸 versatility: anytime, anywhere. so versitile 🧸 uniqueness: i honestly wouldn't call it unique, as 'you' by glossier is a relatively close dupe in my opinion. but it does what it wants to do and set out to do 🧸 compliment factor (personally): always. every time i wear it. practicality 🧸 bottle/packaging design: simple and cute, nothing special (not in a bad way, though) 🧸 ages i think this is best suited for: 20-40s 🧸 mood/vibe: juicy peach, honey-ed but not cloyingly sweet (not a gourmand). sophisticated and leans slightly unisex. classy but not pretentious. youthful and fresh. perfect for daily wear and any occasion. 🧸 repurchase/purchase if sample?: yes. on my third bottle. overall recommend?: yes x100

It’s interesting how many people think this smells like a BR540 dupe. Judging by the reviews it’s obvious Me checks the BR540 box for quite a few folks. But there are also many here (myself included) who are truly confounded by that comparison because Me is in a very different fragrance category. I own both the edp and extrait, and to my nose, they smell very different from Me. BR540 is airy, lightly spiced and woody with a slightly metallic, sweet/salty tang (the extrait is much sweeter and includes an almond note). In contrast, Me is earthy, tart, powdery, slightly milky and mossy. BR540 has that iodine/ “hot electronic motherboard” note indicative of a generous dose of both ambroxan and iso e super. Me has a creamy sandalwood note, and has zero ambroxan in its fragrance profile. When completely dried down, BR540 retains that characteristic ethyl maltol sweetness and iodine smell with subtle wood (iso e super). Me dries down to a warm, milky “your skin but better” scent courtesy of a smooth white musk and beautiful, buttery sandalwood. I can agree with the following statement: BOTH of these fragrances share two undeniable traits: though they smell different, they are both very BEAUTIFUL and very WARM fragrances. In a nutshell, BR540 is breezy, oceanic, buoyant and sweet. Me is musky, earthy, grounded and tart. I probably should have just led with those two sentences from the start here, but I always end up rambling. What can I say? I’m a ‘fume head, and a complete nerd about fragrance! I’ve just spritzed one wrist with the BR540 edp and the other with Me. They don’t smell alike to me at all!😆 Nevertheless, people smell what they smell, and Me is still considered a BR540 dupe for some. It always amazes me how subjective an art form fragrance is.

I’ve tried my fair share of your skin but better scents, but this one stands out. There’s no pink pepper pencil shavings (thank heaven), and it doesn’t smell like Glossier You (double thank heaven). Instead, it’s warm, personal, and natural. The peach and plum here are absolute perfection. They’re sweet without being a literal, feeling more like kissing your lover after sipping nectar, with the sweetness still lingering on your lips. The sandalwood here is dry, warm, and present—the kind of sandalwood that makes you stop and appreciate how it carries everything else on its shoulders. The oakmoss is a gentle giant, made plush and welcoming through its marriage to Snif’s signature orcanox blend. This blend gives this scent presence. It certainly is not a skin scent in performance as it leaves quite a trail and can fill a room if over sprayed. It lasts 10-12 hours when I wear it, fully detectable from being to end. As Me dries down, hours later, I get this smooth, natural blend of peach skin, soft musk, and elegant woods that lingers on like a natural scent for hours and hours. This isn’t just another your skin but better scent. It’s THE your skin but better scent. Love at first Snif for Me.
