Natural Talent is a floral fragrance that launched in 2021. It is a smooth scent that’s somehow juicy and leathery at the same time. A floral, fruity, chypre that features notes of apricot, jasmine, soft suede, osmanthus flower, clementine, sandalwood and cistus. Natural Talent is an eau de toilette, edt.
SNIF uses high quality ingredients that are nontoxic, clean, vegan, cruelty-free, made without parabens, phthalates, preservatives and synthetic dyes.
Fragrantica: The fresh blast in the beginning was really pleasant for me and originally seemed more unisex, with subtler apricot, osmanthus, jasmine. Then it starts to dry down and it was very much straight candied apricot with a bit of powder (powdery sugar) and light suede in the background. I wasn't 100% sure about it at this point, but I just woke up to my blotter and wow, 24 hrs was everything so perfectly smoothed over (heavenly!) and definitely lasting. This is the most lasting and sillage heavy of the Snif frags I've tried. I think I will take it to an outdoor summer wedding. Very feminine and pretty and just a little bit hot girl flirty. It reminds me of some designer scents I've smelled before, yet not synthetic like those or perhaps an apricot floral candy Marie Antoinette would eat. I'm glad I got the 10 ml as I don't see this for myself as a daily wear, but it is pretty and a unique (natural) take on fruity floral that I can get behind, especially now that I'm prepared for the non-linear journey.
Fragrantica: If the color light beige had a smell, it would be this. It's calming, understated, but doesn't have to try hard to be sophisticated. OPENING: an unsweetened, earthy apricot with what smells like - despite not being listed - a distinct carrot seed note. MIDDLE: a smooth, sueded leather; I've never smelled a more realistic suede than I have in this fragrance! DRY DOWN (comes pretty quickly): a soft blend of sweet, powdery, osmanthus-mixed-with-sandalwood; mostly sandalwood, but the osmanthus is still there as a slightly-green-but-sweet creamy floral accord. To me, this is a "sexy but soft skin musk with an elevated twist" scent. Like you wear ultra comfortable but flattering designer clothes that don't have a label/logo on them - because you don't need to shout how high class you are, and you still prioritize your comfort. The carrot seed note was a bit off-putting to me in the beginning, and I wasn't sure whether the suede would be up my alley if it continued longer - but the dry down was a beautiful blend that is really growing on me.
SNIF: It's fruity and powdery soft. The apricot and suede combo smells amazing on my skin. I love this one!
SNIF: This opens with a sweet fresh fruit. A light suede and floral in the background with a light creaminess from the sandlewood. It is so delicious.
SNIF: Remember when the pretty girl in high school would take her hair out of a ponytail and it was still a little wet, so you could smell her fruity shampoo all the way across the room? That’s this. Sweet, fruity, a little musky- a light almost gourmand skin scent. Love it for everyday - it’s a very easy reach.
