Hot Cakes is a well-crafted gourmand fragrance that delivers exactly what it promises—a realistic pancake, maple syrup, and butter scent. While the execution is impressive and the dry down becomes more refined, its extreme literalness and sweetness make it a niche product best suited for casual, cozy occasions rather than everyday wear. Community reception reflects both appreciation for Snif's craftsmanship and skepticism about the current gourmand trend's staying power.

Cheirosa '59 is widely viewed negatively by the community despite having an intriguing concept on paper. Multiple users find it unbearable to actually wear, with the consensus being that while it may spark curiosity, it falls flat in practical wearability.
