Naughty Nonna

Hey people Fellow frag lover here Picked up another one (said like DJ Khaled) New to the brand snif. Simple bottle design, magnetic plastic cap. Simple presentation for a simple scent. Smells a little like Angel Share with a bread-y note added. Not a super big projector and lasts moderately long. Nothing ground breaking here. Overall in all the categories I'm giving this between a 6.5 and 7. But here is how I turned this bad boy into beast mode and made this one a compliment magnet, head turning, Dayyyyuuummm what you wearing scent. First, I amped up the booze with Baronda. If you have Kutay, that works well too. Then, I introduced a little soft pungent tobacco with Dominican Tobacco from the middle eastern (if you dont know about these...you're basically being basic they last, they pack a punch and quality is better AND ish is cheaper) Then naughty nonna on top of it all.... Got told I smelled good. Lingering hugs. Asked by a stranger for the name. Had a relative say "why do you always smell so good". Had two aunties glued to me neck. Babies clapped and swooned. The heavens burst forth sunlight in agreement. Ok so I embellished the last bit. But this combo made me confident. And everyone around me was like you do smell good like really good. When used alone it's just cool. Wouldnt grab another one once this is out but it's not bad. Shoot me a text if the layer works for you. (Check out my other reviews for other ideas) If you like this you'll LOVE the following: Old fashioned by Kilian ORTO parisi Baronda UNIQUE E LUXURY KUTAY LAATHANI (again with the middle east)

This house really has some winners for me. And since I'm NOT one to be drawn to fancy packaging and presentation, the simple bottle and packaging designs work for me. I'd much rather have quality juice inside and pay less with simple bottle designs. Anyway, onto the perfume. This is so damn good!! I don't own Milano Fragrenze Panettone but I do have a decant of it and there's something about it that turns soapy on my skin in the dry down. I don't know what it is but I can't wear it. It smells great out of the atomizer but once it hits my skin it turns to soap. This though is so darn good. And when I spray heavily, I get the walnut note. This does smell like the holidays but I think it's also fruity enough that it could be with year round. Only thing I'd improve would be the performance but it's not terrible. Love it!!

Very rare to find a fragrance that actually smells like the notes. Almost every single listed note I smell. The orange peel vibe, with ginger, vanilla, fruity, jammy rum vibes, and the nutty warmness of the walnut. This is so damn good. It's hyper-realistic to a sticky jammy fruit cake. Nonna is naughty, maybe because of the extra pour of rum, but she is SO good at what she does. Not to mention this shit is eternal. Lasts and lasts and lasts. A sample vile is all you need to start with to see if this works for you, and if you're okay smelling this delicious. I could wear this year-round, I am a weirdo though, and like smelling like cake and yummy vibes even in the heat, haha. I loved it and am glad I grabbed a full bottle. This is 100% unique for me and my collection, and I am really just - wow. 10/10 for this one.

I have never blind bought something based exclusively on the marketing before this. Paced around waiting for it to arrive and sweet baby jesus in the manger, it's everything I'd hoped it'd be and MORE. Sweet, yep - but complex. Orangey, mulled rum with bits of strong candied ginger all soaked into an unsweetened, dry vanilla cake and cut with an almost dusty "nutty" vibe. It floats the line between sweetass gourmand and heavenly "perfume" really beautifully. I've worn it every night since it arrived, sitting on the couch in my jammies - it's warm and lovely and snuggly. It can absolutely be worn out though - it's grown enough to read as sexy and yummy at the holiday party or whatever - leather jacket, heels, big earrings no makeup. Worth mentioning, I'm not typically a gourmand girl either but this one got me.

Easily Snif's best offering IMO! This is an elevated, niche take on a fruitcake's scent profile vs. a photo realistic one.... If I was to smell Naughty Nonna on someone else, I wouldn't think "fruitcake" at all. The spiciness and booziness are kept in check and don't give scented candle or seasonal room spray vibes. Despite its decadence, it's also not so heavy that it demands cold weather for enjoyable wear. The citrus gives it a pleasant lightness! If you're like me and find popular, seasonal-leaning spicy fragrances like Khamrah and all of its clones to be missing a certain depth or richness, definitely consider giving Naughty Nonna a try! I regret not trying it sooner after sampling at Ulta, but I'm glad I got a good deal when I finally pulled the trigger. Check TikTok for flash sales. :)

I suppose I'm a supporter of Snif overall, regardless of the influencer/social media type of presence it tends to have (I'm not that sort of person myself), because they rock at gourmonds. They just do. This isn't necessarily the daily sort of perfume one might have to spray on regularly. But, it's delicious, and well worth trying. The notes can be picked out individually, yes, but they also meld into an absolute wall of deliciousness that resembles peach cobbler. It's lightly spiced, and spices of pie dough. I do get the rum, but it also smells as if the peaches are soaked in rum (rather than a separate scent). Really, really interesting...and truly addictive. This stuff is absolutely moreish, and I think it's perfectly autumnal. A decadent treat. 🥧

Really nice gourmand for an excellent price. It smells like a warm boozy fruitcake, just like it says. It lasts a decent amount. I can still smell it 4 hours later. Strong projection. It’s a fun Christmas perfume. Big compliment getter. It’s sweeter than Panettone by Milano Fragranze, which has a similar scent profile. I love Panettone, which is more refined than Naughty Nona, but it loses the boozy fruity smell after an hour. Naughty Nona keeps all its notes for a long time. Snif keeps getting better and is still priced so well. I’m still so impressed with Honey Suite. They sell travel sizes that are perfect for trying something out. Don’t sleep on this brand. *not a paid review.

ughhhH SO GOOD. i get nutty orange spiced cake, very little rum (thank god). I got a second bottle about a year after the first and I gotta say it is way stronger than I remembered. I normally can't even get my strongest performers to last through a whole office day (which is like 12 hours bc of my commute) but this baddie always does it and does it WELL!!!! it fades nicely through the day, getting more gentle on the orange/spice and becoming just a nice fruity vanilla. tens tens TENS FOR MISS NONNA!

I slept on this for so long because the name & advertising didn't appeal to me. But wow!!! I like this way wayyy better than expected. It has an alluring, almost mysterious essence. Definitely one of the more sexy options from Snif's line. Perfectly unisex and easy to layer, although it's so beautiful you wouldn't have to! Fans of Angel's Share & Jo Malone Ginger Biscuit should definitely try this out. (& for anyone curious, it has a 6 hour longevity on my skin.)

Total YUM!!!!!!!!!!!! need a full bottle of this soon. It's like the syrup you get at the bottom of a really moist, boozy fruitcake. The notes are spot on. I can actually imagine this going down a treat in the summer... Picturing this for looking at the antique furniture an in old farmhouse in northern spain... there are almond and orange trees outside and your dress is a bit low cut (!). It's a sexy scent and a bit campy. Sticky heatwave deliciousness lol

At my big age of 22 I needed a more "adult" version of Chierosa '62 and this hits the mark :) Still a gourmand in every sense but nowhere near cloying. It smells like sticky toffee pudding. I was afraid it would be too spicy, but it's heavy on vanilla and caramel with a hint of artificial rum flavoring. It clings to skin and hair-- one spray on my décolletage is enough to get compliments for like 6 hours. It's perfect for the cozy weather ahead.

Of all the fragrances I purchased this year, this one was the most surprising. I had no idea what to expect from a fruitcake scent. It’s warm, sweet and boozy in the best ways. This can be worn year round, but it truly does smell like the holidays without being too on the nose. Maybe because they are both from Snif and gourmand scents, but I don’t get the Crumb Couture comparisons. 2 completely different smells.

This stuff is addicting. I ran out of my sample and missed it so had to order a decant. Opens with the the citrus and pastry, like a rum holiday fruitcake or orange meringue tartlet. Makes a pretty fluffy gourmand cloud. Slightly masculine, but not enough to discourage me. Very light wearing which I also don't mind. I purchased directly from Snif and the sprayer is phenomenal.

Very unique fragrance. Wearable gourmand. I can’t get enough of this one, longevity is great it’s warm and slightly fruity. Longevity is great too, at least 8 hours on skin and FOREVER on clothing. An unexpected favorite from Snif. They really did something special with this one! Update: boyfriend loves this one on me! Every time I wear it he tells me I smell good.

SOO yummy! Sweet, nutty, and boozey, this is quite a photorealistic fruit cake scent. Mainly orange slices, rum, and walnuts smoothed out with a creamy vanilla. If you find Crumb Couture to be a bit too bready like I do, this could be a better option for you! It sadly doesn’t project as much as Crumb Couture does however. Has minimal sillage and lasts all day.

This is so fun. 100% I get fruit cake with citrus, bread, and a bit of booze. It's a great holiday scent I prefer this over Crumb Couture as i feel the orange lifts and brightens it a bit (but I love Crumb Couture don't get me wrong). The bready base is very similar but to me this just has a little more going on, and I enjoy it

This is such an unexpectedly BEAUTIFUL spiced vanilla! I adore this one, and have received multiple compliments when wearing it! What a great fragrance for fall/winter, this strikes me as being universally likeable and it's a great price! I like to layer this with Vanilla Romance from Bath and Body Works!

This fragrance is an absolute dream and ia now my favorite from Snif. The fruitcake note is definitely identifiable for the first 2 or 3 hours, but that dries down to an orange rum punch. It's spiced, it's not too much but could give someone who doesn't like gourmonds a headache. Overall delicious.

It smells so yummy! I can smell all of the notes listed, it's very orangey and cakey, and dries into a more boozey scent. Very sweet. I think the citrus helps to keep it fresh. I wouldn't wear it everyday, but I think it would be perfect for autumn/winter because it's so warm and comforting.

This smells much more expensive than it is. Rum, orange, and a lovely dense cake. Boy does snif know how to make a gourmand! But it still manages to be light and wearable? This tickles my nose in a way that is familiar to me, but I can’t quite put my finger on it. It is just divine.

When I tell you I HATE gourmands, hate vanilla, and hate warm spicy fragrances....but this...this is my 1 exception. It’s like a photorealistic rum raisin ice cream! So light and so beautiful. Buying it used though as I am not trying to support a company that uses AI art.

Smells like the most delicious fruitcake ever made. The fruit cake is made with lots of vanilla and has the perfect amount of citrus and zesty ginger. It's drizzled with a bit of rum sauce. Well done Snif. I love this one. If you like gourmands, this is a must try.

I've never smelled a citrus that is so warm and comforting. It's bright and sweet in the opening and dries down into a nice boozy vanilla. It's definitely great for the holidays without being too on the nose with the usual spicy vanilla situation.

Now that this has finally been added to Fragrantica, most of the sales are over but some are still going on. This is a fabulous boozy panettone with a bit of spicy citrus. I don’t think this reminds me of crumb couture. Another hit from Snif.

All the notes as listed yes. Comes out not as your dark fruit cake but the lighter coloured one, definitely get the candied orange. not too bready not too spicy. Very nice layered with my Bujairami Gingerbread. Perfect for Autumn Winter.

smelled this in ulta with low expectations but was blownnnnn away. this is a citrusy n nutty rum and ginger, im seeing people say say the ginger ISNT predominant but it 100% is. this is so so good, i NEED a beast mode dupe immediately!!

This wil be my fourth Snif fragrance, and it is my favorite. I blind bought it, and I love it. It's fun, easy, and lasts a decent amount of time for an EdT. Might be one of my favorite purchases of the year.

i blind bought this based on the notes and reviews and i was not disappointed. this is an orange vanilla rum cake with really great longevity. the only snif i like!

Yummy winter fragrance. I get compliments from strangers every time. Men seem absolutely drawn to this (This is a deal breaker for some so be warned lol)

Love at first smell. Something about it doesn't last as long as other perfumes usually do on my skin, but it just makes me so happy just to have it

I LOVE THIS PERFUME! Snif keeps knocking it out of the park! It’s sweet and comforting but subtle. Full bottle worthy!!!

Super fun holiday scent! Sweet with an elevated boozy element. Unique in my collection.

this is soooo different from what i was expecting, but in a very very good way.

It smells a little bit like a great grandmother's kitchen during christmas time. She was a short opinionated sicilian woman. There was definitely some rum in that kitchen, accentuated with lemon peels and orange peels, lots of vanilla extract and candied ginger, that she would use to settle her stomach and she also incorporated into a good amount of her baking. This is a lovely, bright gourmand that is not cloying. Speaking for myself, I will say that this does have a strong tie into a nostalgic place for me, a place of comfort and light hearted joy. One thing I can say about the entire line that I have experienced so far. In regards to snif, many of their scents have had that magical lock in key effect of opening a portal back in time to a special place that I do wish to revisit.

So, 6 months after buying, I have had to give this perfume away because it started giving me a headache, which it did not for months!!! Regardless, this perfume is an easy blind buy for anyone who enjoys playful and warm scents. On me, the notes of rum and vanilla/orange were the most noticeable, think creamsicle, but the adult version, I guess. I live in a very hot and humid city, so many scents will wear off quickly, and this one consistently lasted a good 4 hours every time before becoming a very faint sweet/warm scent that was only detected when I huffed my wrist. Fun, affordable, and nostalgic, not the most brilliant thing I've ever smelled, but a fav before it started irritating me.

This is my first Snif perfume. The marketing totally got me, because my own late Nana always had fruitcake with rum sauce on Christmas, and every year I get a fruitcake in her memory! This does smell very photorealistic, and certainly reminds me of my Nana's tradition. It opens with the fruit and dries down to a vanilla, butter, cake smell. The walnut note is very pronounced all the way through for me. Unfortunately there is also a playdough note that spoils the magic ever so slightly. I've found layering it with DS and Durga's pistachio tempers the salty note and also adds a touch of cardamom, which screams holiday baked goods to me.

my boyfriend and i picked this one out for him and he wears it so well! (neither of us enjoy typical mens fragrances. his other fragrance is sh*tty day from noyz which also works so well on him.) i think this will be delicious in the fall/winter, but its actually summer right now and the orange has been so lovely to smell when we are out and about. the candied/fruity notes take center stage and the spices and baked good notes create a lovely backdrop. definitely a bit more of a unique gourmand which is what makes snif so good at unisex fragrances (imo)!

The notes are e x a c t l y what it smells like, and it lasts eternally. 16 hours later and I'm still smelling it on me. It's extremely well blended and delicious. I see why someone might think this would be similar to Panettone by Milano Fragranze, but it's entirely different. This is more wearable and warm, and it has vanilla and walnut added. Panettone is an extremely spiced brown buckwheat, while this is an orangey carroty nutty bread. I wish this projected better but it sits fairly close to the skin and clothes. I still love it!

Like all of snif’s No Noses line, this one is campy and unique. It’s nice in the winter and around the holidays, but can be a bit heavy at first before drying to a simple vanilla. I was complimented on this a few times and had a fun time telling people the name! The fruitcake accord is pretty accurate if that interests you. I find the nuttiness a bit too much for me, but I love the creativity and novelty of it.

The name Naughty Nonna fits this fragrance perfectly! A fruity, sweet, dense, and boozy cake. One of the better gourmands I've sampled. It develops as you wear it - the sweetness mellows out and the other notes come forward and persist. I appreciate that it's not just a sugar bomb. I think the balance/complexity and rum notes make it a little more mature and easier to wear. Good longevity to boot.

Very sweet and citrusy (but a candied citrus, not zesty), with just a hint of spice. There's definitely an undercurrent of something bread-y similar to Crumb Couture but it's subtle. It's comforting and not too overtly gourmand. Easy wear, nice for autumn and winter.

Look grannie and her fruit cake covered in whipped cream cheese frosting and soaked in rum can come visit me anytime! This is such a fun scent. Is creamy, vanilla spiced, and as a gourmand lover it hits everything I love in a fall and winter scent.

I like this, but it’s very similar to crumb couture and I like crumb couture better. Naughty Nonna is a bit too sweet, and the fruit reads more as sweet peach to me than orange or ginger

I wish I had worn this over the holidays! Such a fun scent - exactly like fruitcake. The opening is pure spiced fruit, dries down to nutty bread with a splash of vanilla.

I think this is delicious. I get all the notes exactly as existed. I’ve not figured out how to wear this and when (is it only for Nov & Dec? 🤔) ... but I really like it.

Lovely fruitcake scent. Something coming off metallic is hitting my nose, and throwing me off a bit, but I still think I like this one.

ORANGE GINGER. Nuts, Rum. (vanilla). That's the whole vibe of this perfume. It is not similar to Crumb Couture to me, and while not unpleasant at any point, this just isn't for me. It's very similar to Jo Malone's 'Orange Bitters' at the top, but has a much sweeter drydown. I would never complain to smell it on someone else, and it's definitely less 'literal' than Crumb, but I would never wear this one. Glad I got a sample to try before springing for the bottle.

Smells like a boozy fruit cake. It's nice, I would LOVE this in a candle, but not sure I want to smell like it. lol. It does remind me of Khamrah but toned down and if it hand fruit cake flanker. I would love to smell this on a man.

When Junie B. wins the Cake Walk, she chooses the bestest cake of all - the one wrapped in sparkly aluminum foil. How was she to know it was a lethal weapon?

a fun, nutty scent. honestly never had fruitcake before but if it smells like this, i'd definitely try! kinda feels nomad, hippie-esque.
