the best floral perfumes you’ll fall in love with

You might think floral scents are only for springtime, but they’re year-round crowd-pleasers.

If you’re unsure about what really makes a fragrance “floral,” we’re here to help demystify what flowery scents you may encounter as you shop for a new bottle. As a bonus, we’ll fill you in on some of our favorite floral scents here at Snif.

what is a floral scent?

In fragrance, there are a few basic scent categories you’ll see pop up from time to time, like “floral,” “woody,” or “fresh.” Fragrance florals are a diverse mix of scents, so there’s something for everyone. 

While the fragrance industry loves to put gendered labels on floral scents, at Snif we know florals are for all and create genderless fragrances for everyone to love. Florals can create fun, unique blends that work for any occasion and any mood.

our five favorite floral scents

Now that you know a bit about what floral fragrances are, let’s take a look at some of our favorites. 

You’ll also notice that not all the scents in these fragrances are floral.. At Snif, we love to create unique blends with a diverse range of notes. Ingredients like vanilla bean, moss, cedarwood, pink pepper, and more balance out the scents and make them one of a kind.

rose era

If you’re a lover of all things fruity and floral, Rose Era has you covered. 

This rose fragrance features rose, strawberry, clean laundry accord, and white moss for a silky, dewy scent experience that will have you swapping out your rose-colored glasses for pure petal vision. 

Rose Era, created in collaboration with the iconic Monet McMichael, will make you this season’s modern muse. Customers love the way this scent offers a clean floral that’s sweet (but not too sweet). 

The best part? This fragrance looks just as good as it smells. As one customer said, “You can tell they took time with all the details, from the front of the box to the bottle.”

vow factor

For a floral scent that leans a little bit green, too, try Vow Factor. This fig scent includes a blend of green fig, mandarin, neroli, rose, and cedarwood, bringing you that first-love feeling in a bottle. 

With just one spritz, Vow Factor helps bring a little romance into any (and every) day. As one reviewer put it, Vow Factor is a “beautiful encapsulation of romance in a bottle.” This scent is getting 10s across the board for being a more subtle floral fragrance that knows how to spray freshness and warmth at the same time. 

strawberry moon

We see a comfy beach chair, some morning bubbly, and a hotel pool in your future. 

Strawberry Moon, one of our favorite summer scents, was inspired by the iconic South Beach goodtime hotel’s swim club. This fragrance will transport you — and anyone who gets a whiff — to a tropical vacation destination.

With jasmine, iris, pink pepper, vetiver, and more, this fragrance will bring the party from sunrise to sunset. Whether you’re livin’ it up Miami-style or prefer to relax closer to home, Strawberry Moon is for good vibes and good times only. Well-loved for its versatility, Strawberry Moon is the kind of scent you can wear in both the summer and the fall. 

burning bridges

Like a thorny rose thriving in the rain, this smoky, smooth floral has a flair for the dramatic.

Burning Bridges is a vibrant and bold scent that definitely does not hold back. Sound like anyone you know? 

With rose, iris, and freesia, Burning Bridges goes for the plot twist with vanilla and tobacco to keep you on your toes. One reviewer described Burning Bridges by saying, “It gives the vibe of a gentleman's library (the kind with limited edition leather-back books).”

natural talent

Natural Talent uses iris, osmanthus flower, sandalwood, clementine, and suede to create a complex combination of florals that you don’t want to miss. It’s an irresistible blend of fruity and floral scents, and it effortlessly elevates your vibe every time you put it on. Take our customers' word on this one — Natural Talent is known for being the kind of scent you can wear anywhere, at any time to add a subtle, sexy edge.

what makes our fragrances special?

clean formulas: smell incredible with a clear conscience

There are some ingredients that you never want to see listed on the label of your favorite scent. Scents that are non-vegan, tested on animals, or packed with preservatives are always a hard pass.

That’s why our fragrances are formulated using industry clean standards. These scents are vegan, cruelty-free, and contain no preservatives, phthalates, parabens, or paraffin.

When you use a scent with a clean formula, you can smell amazing — with a clear conscience. 

they actually last

There’s nothing more annoying than smelling great when you leave your house… and smelling like nothing a few hours later. Our fragrances provide a long-lasting scent without being overpowering. 

With Snif fragrances, all you need is two to three sprays a day. Our scents stick around from the beach to the club and everywhere in-between.
