Snif’s New Scent Smells Exactly Like Your Favorite Scandi Candy

As a perfume-seeker always looking for cheap perfume that doesn't smell too simple or super artificial, I was instantly excited when I saw the hype about Snif's latest fragrance: Swede Tooth. Snif, the direct-to-consumer fragrance company with a reputation for genderless, clean, and super-Instagrammable scents, has a cult following for a reason. When they released a new candy-perfume that claims to transport you back to childhood Scandinavian treats, I knew I had to give it a go.
I'm a sucker for sweet fragrance perfumes, but only if they're in balance. I don't want to smell like a sugar bomb, but I do want a playful, unexpected, and slightly addictive scent. After using this one of the affordable perfumes constantly for two weeks, I can wholeheartedly affirm, this fragrance hits the spot in the most scrumptious way ever. Here's my complete Snif fragrance review.
First Impressions: Unboxing and Packaging
Snif has perfected the minimalist look, and Swede Tooth is no different. It comes in a modern, reusable white box with a magnetic latch. You receive the 30ml full-size bottle and a sample vial so you can test it first before opening up the full bottle.
The bottle is simple, trendy, and modern. Frosted glass with bold black font. It feels high-end but unfussy, like something you’d find in a Scandinavian design studio. Aesthetically, it's already checking all the boxes.
Scent Notes: What Does Swede Tooth Smell Like?
Let's go deeper into the real scent. Snif new scent Swede Tooth is "inspired by juicy Swedish gummy candy and a whirl of creamy vanilla." It's a fruity gourmand scent, and these are the fragrance notes:
- Top notes: Peach nectar, red apple, lychee
- Heart notes: Orange flower, pink sugar
- Base notes: Vanilla whipped cream, cotton candy, musk
At first spritz, you’re hit with a burst of juicy sweetness. It is like Scandinavian candy fragrance with a sophisticated edge. The peach and red apple are bright and mouthwatering, but not cloying. There’s a sign of tartness from the lychee that keeps it from leaning too syrupy.
As it dries down, the heart notes of sugary sweetness start to come up. The orange blossom introduces a hint of floral freshness, and pink sugar makes it unmistakably sweet scent perfume land. Then, the base is where it gets magical. Vanilla whipped cream and musk land on the skin, creating it to be cozy, creamy, and just a touch of flirty.
This is not your average bubblegum gourmand. It has depth. It's wearable. And it does indeed remind me of entering a Scandinavian candy store, all gummy peaches and bubbly sour belts.
My Experience Wearing Swede Tooth
Since the first day I applied Snif's new fragrance, I received compliments. Several individuals asked me about the perfume I was wearing, something never experienced with some of the more expensive niche fragrances in my collection.
It's one of those special perfumes for women (or anyone, actually) that somehow has the ability to feel both retro and contemporary at once. I wore it on several occasions: brunch with girlfriends, a normal workday, and even a night out on the town, and it suited itself to each occasion. It's cute without being childish, sugary without being cloying.
The throw is moderate; you'll get whiffs throughout the day, but it won't fill a space. Longevity is good for a fresh perfume: roughly 5–6 hours on me before I have to refresh. For a Snif perfume 2025 launch, it performs amazingly well and doubles up fabulously with a light vanilla body cream if you'd like to enhance its warmth.
What Makes It Special?
There's an ocean of gourmand perfumes out there, but Swede Tooth has staked its own territory. It doesn't have the feel of duplicating designer styles or overdoing it. Rather, it's playful, reminiscent, and casual to wear.
What I admire most is the contrast: the bright fruitiness up top and the whipped vanilla-musk at the bottom make for an almost fizzy, creamy sensation. You don't smell like you just ate a cupcake, you smell like you're a stylish, candy-inspired perfume lover with the ability to have fun with fragrance.
And at $65, it's firmly in that price range of value perfumes, a small percentage of the cost of luxury designer fragrances, with improved storytelling and attitude.
Final Thoughts: Is Swede Tooth Worth It?
Absolutely. If you're a fan of candy-scented perfumes, enjoy fruity gourmand fragrance, or just need something that brings a small smile when you spray it, Swede Tooth by Snif is absolutely worth trying. It's wearable, layered, and unlike anything else in my collection. And the fact that it's clean, vegan, and cruelty-free makes it an even quicker yes.
I'd say it's best for:
- Sweet fragrance lovers needing something new
- Anyone tired of mainstream gourmands
- Perfume enthusiasts who crave unique perfume for women (or everyone!)
- Those looking for a high-quality, affordable signature scent
It's vintage but mature, decadent but not too much, and just fun. It's reminiscent of my go-to Scandi candy, bottled in the coolest possible way.
