Snif is setting the new standard in fine fragrance. The search for high-quality scented products should be simple, accessible, and fun. We bring our customers what they want to smell and develop new, unexpected ways for them to incorporate fine fragrance into their daily routines.
Every scent we develop is designed to be an immersive experience. From the name, packaging design, and creative campaigns to someone’s first spray, we want them to see and smell the quality behind every release. Our formulas are always made with top-shelf ingredients and are genderless, non-toxic, vegan, and cruelty-free.
Snif products are sold on our DTC site www.snif.co and can also be found at all Ulta Beauty locations. We’ve been featured across notable press outlets including, Forbes, Fast Co., WWD, Vogue, Allure, Cosmopolitan, NY Mag, Harper’s Bazaar, and more. Additionally, we’re backed by some of the most revered investors in the consumer goods space.
We’re a lean team that’s expanding quickly, and we’re looking for someone who believes in our vision to shift the way people experience scents.
