Fun, fine fragrance brand Snif teamed up with mindfulness leader and author Alex Elle to create Gentle Reminder, a grounding fragrance that encourages tending to oneself with love and care. This soft fragrance spotlights purple ube and marries its earthy sweetness with a soothing blend of lavender, milk froth, black tea, palo santo, and date sugar. This fragrance wraps wearers in a cozy embrace, as comforting and creamy as an ube latte.
A new generation of fragrance fans is investing in scents that not only smell good but can be used with intention as tools for self-care and mood management. Snif's first collaboration with Alex Elle, Heal the Way, marked its first venture into emotion-inspiring scents. Gentle Reminder is just as comforting and offers a different experience to inspire self-love.
