Only Sunshine

I never thought I'd write a review about a Snif fragrance as it's not a brand/house I usually have luck with. But, seeing all the silly hate comments on social media really fueled me to write an honest review of THE FRAGRANCE-nothing else. I have to agree with many of the legitimate commenters here and say that this scent is not what I was expecting, but in the best possible way. I expected another "in your face, fruity, screechy, tropical fragrance", but what you get is something different. Does it give tropical vibes? Yes, but not in that "hot sun, tropical cocktail in hand, sitting on a beach" tropical vibe. No. This is a richer, darker, more seductive "date night on a tropical vacation" vibe. I picture wearing this in the evenings, watching the sun set, casting what's left of its warm rays on the water. It opens with a burst of 1980's nostalgia and tropical sweetness. If Lisa Frank (IYKYK) was a smell, the opening of Only Sunshine is it. And then, just like the setting sun shining on the water, the fragrance transitions (still allowing the tropical fruits to shine) but diving more into a richer, ambery base, giving it that warm, sensual vibe. I see some say that it doesn't last. That isn't true for me, albeit my skin does extremely well with tropical/fruity fragrances. What I like about this is: it's different. It's different from any other fragrance Snif offers, it's different from any fragrance toted as "tropical", and it brings a nostalgia that older generations miss and that the younger generations deserve to experience. The 80's were some of the best years of our lives, and this fragrance takes you there but with a modern twist. As far as the price point, it's no different than any other Snif fragrance price, so I don't know what all the price police are upset about. Snif always has sales and coupon codes available, so are you really paying full price for this anyways? If you are, you need to be a better shopper. All in all, I think the Snif x Mikayla collab was a success and if Snif reads these comments, I highly recommend changing this from a limited edition to a regular menu item. There is nothing else in the line up like this and it would be silly not to keep this in the repertoire. Also, Id like to add (for all the lux and niche "snobs"-I mean that lovingly), this may not be your cup of tea or your caliber of fragrance, but if we judge it for what it is, this one was one of Snif's better offerings.

This is really beautiful and unique to my collection. At first, I get really sweet candy-like mango and papaya, and then the sea breeze and orange blossom comes through and dries down to a fresh slightly sweet floral fragrance. My husband loves this one on me, and he doesn’t always comment on my perfumes or smell them easily. At first, the perfume has good projection until it dries down to more a skin scent. I do wish the longevity was better because I enjoy this one a lot. I love this perfume for spring and summer.

I was actually surprised at how much I love this fragrance!! It’s so beautiful!! 😍 I get the tropical fruit & juicy notes of mango and papaya in the opening but after that it evolves and I get the beautiful orange blossom, amber and musk which I love!!!☺️ The dry down on my skin smells amazing!! To me it seems more of a beautiful juicy ‘orange blossom floral’ fragrance. It’s smooth and not screechy or headache inducing. It also has good silage & longevity on my skin.

Beautiful summer fragrance from Snif. This is not your typical overly sweet, fruity tropical vibe. There is SOME of that but also an ambery warmth. I am surprised by this one and very happy with the skin test I've done. I haven't tested for longevity yet but I always touch up my scent if needed so that is less important to me than it is for many. This is completely worth the price for me!

I have no clue who the influencer is who worked with Snif on this, so I don't understand the hate. I'm not into overly fruity fragrances and I love musks, so this is right up my alley. It's just juicy, creamy and salty enough for hot summer days at the beach while still feeling fresh. Think toes in the sand with a blended cocktail in hand.
