Vow Factor

The reviews for this perfume had me so confused. Of course, the TikTok reviews were over the top in love and what I’ve seen on here, Reddit and other reviews was that it is a so-so fragrance. I finally got my hands on it and I really love it. First, it’s very green. If you aren’t into green fragrances this isn’t for you. It has a sharpness on the front. It reminds me a lot of Diptyque L’Ombre Dans L’eau for the first 30 minutes and then it starts to fade into a softer rose and fig. I don’t mind the somewhat synthetic smell that others are mentioning, I think it pairs nicely with the very natural smells that shine through. I feel very fresh when I wear it and the only problem to me is that it doesn’t last long. Oh and that it is a limited edition.

This smells so much like hiking large hills in wilder parts and coming across flowered meadows. The first day I wore this here in Texas, a woman asked me if I'd been out in the fields. It was a great compliment. Vow Factor is unapologetically green and undomesticated. If you like the scent of green leaves, meadows, moss, and gentle florals in dappled, warm sunlight, you'll like this. If you're looking for a manicured lawn or a "juicy" fig fruit, this one's not for you. It is a very lovely green perfume, decent sillage and longevity, and unique. It's an ode to the memory of falling in love while standing in the loveliest green grove on a sunny day. But you really, really gotta love smelling green. Which I do.

I'm in love! I'm obsessed. Previous reviews scared me off from buying this for a long time, but the notes just sounded perfect for me, and it was on sale online, so...I bit. No regrets. The lighter "zingy" greenness that others might associate with bug spray fades quite quickly (like within the first 15 minutes) and leaves something that's vividly outdoorsy and quite feminine. An interesting balance that feels very "me." I'm a lover of Tocca's Lucia, another woody-figgy-springtime scent. Lucia is more juicy with its hints of citrus and marine notes, whereas VF has a bit more...earthy softness? I think it's the powerdy orris and the marshmallowy ambrette/tonka situatoin.

This is such a lovely green floral/fig scent! It reminds me of Debaser by DS&Durga, only it's a bit more floral and well rounded. I bought this months ago and it wasn't an instant love. I'm still new to green scents and this was way too green for me at first...but I kept going back to it. There is something that pulls you in. After a few weeks I realized how much I enjoyed it and finally bought the FS bottle. It doesn't smell cheap or synthetic like some of the reviews say, if anything I think this is Snifs best and most long lasting fragrance.

i’ve been waiting to review this perfume because i wanted to know if i enjoyed it and i really did! it’s a beautiful fig opening with a bit of citrus from the mandarin, which makes it a bit sharp, but it dries down to sort of smooth figgy and woody smell. i also got to smell dioriviera and vow factor definitely smells similar but its more complex and lasts longer (at least on my skin). its a very garden like scent and is great in spring to early summer! i get compliments from it too!

Vow Factor by Snif pleasantly surprised me! I am a true floral, vanilla, gourmand girl, but this made a green believer of me. The opening is fresh and zesty before dissipating into a soft, slightly sweet, underripe fig scent. My mind was instantly transported to relentlessly hot days spent under the shade of fruit trees. When all my sweet scents curdle and turn cloying, Vow Factor will be the perfect pairing for the scorching summer heat.

This one really surprised me. This was a case of social media pushing it so hard that even though I didn't think I'd like the notes here, I went ahead and bought a travel size of it. WOW. I'm so glad I did. The fig really caught me off guard, especially mixed with the rose. I think it leans more rose than fig for sure, but they marry so beautifully. I LOVE how green this perfume is. It taught me something new about myself!

Such a lovely "green" scent! I'm getting married under willow trees and had bought a different perfume with a willow note in it to be my wedding day perfume. When it came in the mail, I almost threw up it was so bad! I ended up saving the bottle and refilling it with this, and that worked perfectly!! No one will ever know ;) It smells so fresh, floral, yet romantic so it's exactly what I dreamed of for my wedding day <3

Champagnetuesday couldn’t be more right! She said it perfectly: “it’s a fig-hater’s fig fragrance!” I struggle with fig and Vow Factor smells wonderful 💚 I don’t know what kind of witchcraft is going on in this but wow 🤩 I l o v e it! On my skin, the dry down is soft and sweet and very floral yet mellow 🌱💚 Yes, it’s VERY green at first spritz but give it a chance and you may well be surprised by its beauty!🌱🌿🌱

This fragrance was a beautiful surprise. It's been on my list to try for ages, and I thoroughly enjoyed it; I used up my sample in under a week. A unique, unexpected, classy, lush green rose and fig scent. MichelleAA wrote a fantastic review of this scent; I completely agree that this smells like the hills of Ireland. I adore perfumes like this one that go beyond simply smelling good and can transport you.

This is so good! Yes, it is sharp at first, with the citrus and green notes. But then, the floral and woody notes, and the tonka give a really pleasant combination. It's "well blended" in sense of being a nice balance, rather than in the sense of not being able to pick out the specific notes. I predict I will be wearing this a lot for spring and summer both.

i am a certified hater of fig AND green notes but...damn. i really like this. i was fully expecting to send this back, but, she’s a keeper! the opening is VERY sharp, green fig, but then the rose comes out and everything is kind of grounded with that dose of cedar and smoothed out with the ambrette in the drydown. it’s a fig-hater’s fig fragrance!

to me this starts off very fresh and green then quickly turns to beautiful blooming rose with a slight sweetness. from reading other reviews this is kind of what I expected only it exceeded my expectations! it’s extremely wearable but also unique, I personally love it.

I love it so much I think it exceeded my expectations. It reminds me of being in a mossy meadow. I’m saving it to wear in the spring. It’s simply delightful and effervescent.

What's not to love about Vow Factor?! It's earthy and green, with a little sweetness to balance.. a total gem!

I really don't understand the negative reviews, this is a masterpiece. But make no mistake this is no gourmand and it is not what most would describe as sweet. It is green, with white floral, and I think perfectly suits what Emilia wanted to embody on her wedding day. I had this sent to my work and immediately had to smell it. I sprayed ONE spritz on a card in the back office, and people walking in all the way across the store were saying as soon as they entered "omg what smells so good." (So yes it is stronger than you realize) First whif was GREEN and vegetal which had me a bit hesitant, after about a minute the rose came through and that was where I started to love. The bitter green fades away and the young fresh rose warms it up a bit, over time it becomes less crisp and a bit smoother and mellow without losing that sunny brightness. It smells like reading outside in a garden with sunbeams sparkling through the trees from a soft breeze. It smells like an earth goddess or forest witch who is friends with all the woodland creatures (insert that picture of Audrey Hepburn holding a baby deer). It's the smell of the girl with a house full of plants who adore her, the effortless beauty you see at the farmers market who you can't help but fall in love with. It's the happy smell of spring/early summer where the flowers start coming out on the trees and everything is fresh and new. I feel just as beautiful wearing it in an oversized white tshirt as I do in a sundress, you can dress it up or down as this fragrance becomes the person not the other way around. I do believe this is a unisex fragrance, if I smelt this on a man I would WHIMPER. I do believe Snif/Professor Perfume will eventually make this not limited edition as they said "limited edition, for now👀." And if that happens I personally feel like they should also do a candle because my home would smell like this from May through September lemme tell you.

Overall, I like this perfume! This was one of the only blind buys I’ve ever made, and it was worth it. Disclaimer, i’m not a perfume or notes expert, but I’ll try to describe my own experiences with limited vocabulary. My overall impression is it smells like a HOT summer day, like to the point you’re sweating. It’s not really floral and not too sweet, yet very feminine and very put together. It is green, zingy, citrusy at first, but then it is rounded out by a very feminine softness. The “green” isn’t too grass-like or dirt-like like in other earthier perfumes like Byredo Pulp. I also don’t get the bug spray reference, unless you have a very nice bug spray? Lol. As for the softness, it is creamy, a little bit nutty (maybe from the Tonka?) and dare I say a little bit marshmallowy (I normally don’t like marshmallow but it works here). I can understand why some people think this softness or creaminess reminds them of sunscreen, because it smells very sunny and bright.

A nice green, floral fragrance. As someone who doesn’t much care for rose, this is a good version of rose that avoids any sour screechiness that sometimes accompanies the note. I can’t say that the fig is the strongest element (unfortunately for me) but it does add to the overall green effect and lends a slightly sweet element. It's a bit like a less complex un Jardin en Mediterranee by Hermes but then the soft , powdery ambrette and orris take it in a less bracing direction. Spraying it on my hand, I can already tell that this won’t be a projection beast or particularly long lasting, but it is nice and feels pure without being naive, like someone might want for a wedding scent. It’s a like, not a love, but for $65 I’ll probably keep the full size.

It's an odd little one. The initial spray is straight up leafy green, like I'm standing in an orange grove with no fruit, just trees. Not quite as earthy/savory as grape leaves, but still exceedingly clean leaf smelling. After that burns away, the rose smelled more like syrupy honey, very sweet but not overwhelming and surprisingly not cloying, like a lot of Bulgarian rose notes can be. It was sweet and made me hungry but did not give me a headache. It's settled into the orris/cedar notes now, but it's only been two hours so we're galloping through the notes. The base is not as strong or sturdy as I had hoped for such a punchy rose note. Good for spring and summer, but try to buy it on sale I think.

I loved this scent, it's a much more gender-neutral fig than some of the others I've tried and perfectly balances greenness and sweetness and florals. It almost leaned a little herby on me at first spray because of how green it smells, but as it wears it does start to soften and I got more of the rose and cedarwood. I was impressed by the longevity of this on me as it was easily a 9 or 10 hour wear on me, though obviously your mileage may vary. Not a huge powerhouse in terms of sillage but in a really nice way, definitely noticeable but not overpowering by any means. A very approachable fig, would recommend to someone wanting to try this scent profile, and a great value for money.

I really love it! The opening is green and *powdery* fig and somehow a bit sweet too. As it's drying down it smells almost like minty rose and I agree its musky at this point, but in both a refreshing but special occasion in the day time way. It's very interesting! I'm still sitting with it and I'm not sure what I was expecting, but atm I really love it! I will sit with it longer though as some Snif fragrances go on quite a journey through the life cycle. Edit: Changing from love to like because it has a quality that I am finding in a lot (with a few exceptions) of Snif fragrances like Sweet Ash where the naturals feel artificially or cartoonishly amped up at times.

Wasn’t sure about this at first, but have grown to love it. It is complex and really takes you on a journey. Starts sharp with the green notes but then when the fresh and soft rose (very subtle, rose for people who are scared of rose) opens up and then it goes to creamy... it’s delicious and alluring. I didn’t think this was my personality but I’ve grown fond of the uniqueness of this fragrance. I would wear it year round. Day or night. (And I typically don’t like fragrances with fig.) Going on memory here because I don’t have it anymore....is anyone else reminded of Byredo Bal D’Afrique?

I’m not understanding any review that claims there’s no fig scent in this. It’s straight fig with a jammy sweetness! If you love fig scents you’ll likely really enjoy this, but it’s more sweet than I would like. As a rose fragrance lover, I find it to be a subtle rose, almost undetectable; I get more white or yellow florals at the top. I would say this is on par with a B&BW body spray, but I can’t say I expected any different in this price category. It’s a decent, inoffensive scent, so if the notes line up with your tastes, it won’t break the bank to try out.

This perfume smells good, but unfortunately smells just like the Tiffany Rose Gold one my mom wears so I gave it to her instead since I associate the scent too strongly with her. They both have Ambrette and Rose and honestly smell very similar, but I will say Vow Factor has more dimension to me and is very long lasting. It starts off with the same figgy/jammy notes and ambrette but I think it transforms more over its dry down than the Tiffany. I think a very good value dupe for it!

Light, crisp, floral fig with heavyyyy neroli. I really like fig scents, but this is not my favorite opening ever, a bit too neroli forward in the beginning However, this easily lightens up any heavy fragrance you may spray! The dry down is very elegant and arrives with a lovely cedar note, and it is very smooth and delicate. I understand why this is a wedding scent, but it also conjures fresh linens and daybreak.

At first I didn’t think I liked it because the opening is very very green and kind of grandma-y, but after letting it sit for a bit it morphed into a really elegant jammy and woody rose scent that I actually think is really good. Unfortunately the projection turns very weak on me after only a couple hours and because of that and the grandma burst at the opening I don’t think I’m gonna get a full bottle.

I felt like it would be a safe blind buy, but I'm glad snif has the sample in the box. It's a good green rose and fig scent. It just isn't that exciting to me. I have fig and rose scents that wow me more. It's not bad, just a little simple. It leans more green rose than fig, which was a little disappointing to me. I returned the bottle, but enjoyed wearing the sample for the week it lasted.

I will not be keeping this fragrance, but I can appreciate how beautiful it is, just not on me. It’s beautiful just not what I’m ideally looking for. This is fresh cut grass, and strong flowers to me, I don’t really pick up on the fig, orange or tonka, and can’t get past the strong green. I wish this had a little earth dirt to round it out.

It starts off very green and a bit sharp but settles into a delicate, soapy floral. Clean, slightly powdery fig scent with a hint of citrus, and the rose note is barely noticeable. Very elegant and dainty - I imagine a princess would smell like this. It’s not the most groundbreaking fragrance ever but it’s very pretty.

Starts off a sweet version of Chanel No.19 then quickly turns into a warm musky floral. Beautiful and addictive. Lasts well on skin, and better on clothes. I’ll be wearing this day and night until it runs out, too bad it’s not part of the permanent collection.

i like this! i see how people are getting bug spray, but it doesn't go that way on my skin, which is a relief (though i would be wary of using it on a hot/humid day). it smells green, floral, and a little spicy. really cool scent

Opens very vegetal and earthy. A bit bitter. It grows progressively sweeter with a little smokiness. Settles to a mix of fig jam with some greenery. I really like the journey. I just wish it lasted longer and had some projection.

This is a very green and floral fig, not really juicy. It smells a little like sunscreen. To me, it doesn’t evolve a whole lot; the initial burst of vegetal greenness just fades a bit but not much after the first 20 seconds.

Green, airy, fresh, woody floral. This was a blind buy that I really liked. It starts strong but evolves in an interesting way. I really enjoy it. Might try some layering to see how that goes.

surprisingly long wearing. wish i could detect more fig, smells great layered with philosykos to bring out the fig notes more 👍

This is surprisingly fresh and doesn't seem overly woody. Vow factor leans into the florals and fruit, with the other notes taking a backseat. The neroli is especially dominant, followed by the fig. I don't detect rose or tonka at all. I wish I did because the notes list is promising and I think if they were more equally balanced, I would like it a lot more. Hopefully these notes come through with time, or in different weather. I don't understand or experience the bug spray comparison.

Definitely the fraternal twin of Chanel No.19. While No.19 is sharp, bitter, and cold Vow Factor is a softer green, with some sharpness, and definitely more inviting. I was expecting a warmer green from the review I’ve read, but this is a straight green, chypre scent. It’s pretty, but it’s not my style. The bottle is beautiful though. Longevity and sillage are not good, unfortunately. But that seems to be a running theme for Snif.

Yeah, very much not understanding the hype on this one... Initial spray is masculine. VERY masculine. A green, woody cologne. The dry-down is much, much nicer. Honestly, this is not an "indoor" scent. This is outdoor on a nice spring day, taking a walk around the neighborhood with flowers blooming. I'll probably love this if I ever decide to go outside and touch grass while wearing it LOL. Nonetheless, addicting to sniff my wrists

I was excited for this, but it isn't for me. I get all cedar and musk on this with a tiny hint of citrus initially. I cannot smell the fig at all and the only thing that's green is the bottle, certainly not the scent itself. It's a heavy scent to me, no freshness. It's not something I would picture for a wedding day, but to each their own.

im kind of unsure how i feel about this fragrance. the fig is a little too green for me. on initial spray it smells like a man’s aftershave and freshly cut grass. the dry down is nice but the sillage and longevity isn’t great. maybe this will be better is warm weather overall 6.5/10

The first spray on my wrist was so green and fresh I loved it, but on my skin it immediately goes for the orris and sandalwood. I was really hoping for more of the fig. Emelia wasn't kidding when she said she wanted the woody parts of the garden too 😅

In the opening, this one is floral. It reminds me of other fragrances with a jasmine note in the opening. It's a nice floral, perfectly lovely. Nothing more, nothing less.

I was excited to try this overhyped TikTok perfume. It’s a woody musky scent. I barely detect any fig if any at all.

This smells cheap to me, it reminds me of Love & Beauty Gold from Forever 21.

Not at all wow'd by this scent. More grass and twigs than fruit or flowers.

Synthetic grass, vegetable oil, and cheap flowers. Like nearly every fragrance from Snif that I’ve tried, there’s just no complexity or artistry. These are cheaply blended scents that would normally be sold in plastic body spray pump bottles for $15. But by filling them into glass bottles and using influencers to create hype, they manage to sell them at insane markups.

The opening is just way too harsh/medicinal/synthetic that I struggle to get past it. It does become more mellow and creamy on me after about 15-20 minutes, but still remains an artificial green, and overall I just don’t love it (which hurts to say as a fig lover). Definitely not a blind buy, and you couldn’t pay me to have worn this as my wedding scent.

Initial spray is very green and sharp but it settles down to a tamer sweetish woody rose. Smells nice, but its too woody for me. I wish I loved this as its my first one from snif but it gave me a headache :(

Thought I would like this based on the notes but it’s a miss for me :( it’s a little too woody and “green” for my taste. They are nothing alike, but I much prefer Honey Suite.

I don't smell any of the fig or sweet fruity notes - just cedarwood and a bit of orange zest. Basically a bathroom air fresher to me.
