Naomi

Guava and coffee seem to be the most pronounced notes in Naomi. If you Gucci by Gucci EDP rocks your boat, then you will like Naomi by Naomi Campbell. Naomi sees to be a quieter sister of Gucci. Naomi is surprisingly a mature fragrance and even though it is classed as gourmand - it is not quite edible to me. It is not tooth decaying sweet, it has just enough sweetness to balance coffee and soft floral notes. It will make a good impression when worn with a skirt suit; it smells really elegant and feminine. I have 30ml Eau De Parfum and the quality of it is awesome. I don't know what is it about Naomi fragrances that addict me; apart from great silage and longetivity there must be a mystery factor that keep me stocking up more and more Naomi Campbell's fragrances. To me, Naomi by Naomi Campbell is a 10/10 fragrance! Keep doing the good job you're doing, lass!

It vas good for 12 houer + on my skin 5-6 spray. Soft creamy coffee vanilla hint of flowers make it lux Guva make it more round gourmand in a good way. Bergamot raspberry make frutie and frech. Its a wristsniff perfume. The most usefullest of my sweet gourmandperfume. A good first prefume. Day and night year around but most winter.Will get menny love out there. (sorry my englich is not so good) Another must have love!

The only bad thing about this perfume for me is that dreaded raspberry (delicious to eat , but cheap in perfume). I guess raspberry often gets paired with rose for increasing the mass appeal score of a composition, within certain demographics, but I’m past that age and I’m done with taking more exposure to raspberry-roses in perfume. The composition seems brave , but only if you know it is. But if you do notice that it is, you also get to notice it’s trying to play on the safe side too. Like you wearing a faux-hawk to celebrate your punk soul ... it’s neither a real Mohawk nor “cool” amongst the folk you go to school with, because they only figure you must have lost your comb and fixing the mess with hands didn’t work to gather your marbles... so they kindly cut you slack instead of admiring and trending on your originality. That’s why Gucci by Gucci (the guava note), and Gucci Oud (its raspberry flanker) didn’t work well enough for me - both were a bit too heavy on the masculine patchouli in the drydown, and Naomi could have learned from both in putting together this composition by improving their appeal too, not just mixing them and shaving off the patchouli beard. Raspberry, especially in pair with rose, cheapens anything that has it. To which there are some rare expensive exceptions ofc, but Naomi isn’t expensive or an exception... So ... without the raspberry note it would have smelled still light and a bit soapy, but stand out as more special in its class nevertheless, since this actually consist of a very very clever selection of notes and versatile grab-n-go characteristics: sensual and somewhat elegant too, but easy-going, joyful and with niche potential - guava+caramel+coffee+santal.... it can go pink too -like a patchouli free Coco Mademoiselle ... it can be an eclectic punk statement, yes ... like Mohawk + Chanel dress in pink... But instead its the same situation like with the faux-hawk, its trying to pose as cool but offend no one: nice notes, so why stir in the the cheap ones in attempt to appeal to the audience that’s not going to appreciate the rest of the notes because they 1) bought it actually for the raspberry, thinking they’ll like the rise, but not really, then 2) abandoned the thought of using it much and repurchasing it because of the unusual cool notes not working well with the former notes. Despite the added repulsive and boring features - I keep a small bottle of Naomi and to extinguish as much as possible from the raspberry+rose nuisance, after I drench my skin well in Naomi, say what you will, but ... I do the following and it works beautifully - I just walk into the mist of a single spritz of SL Vetiver Oriental. In 5-10 min they blend the right way. Naomi works best on skin and doesn’t smell right on fabric imo. Therefore, test it in different humidity and temperatures before you make up your mind about it. I bother to write this review, because it’s a discontinued fragrance and it’s worth giving it a fair chance before you pass it on. So, don’t dismiss it so fast - maybe it’s a real Mohawk who’s playing it safe until it can feel comfortable to lose the raspberry hood around your perfectly suited for it showered skin ... maybe you’ll appreciate smelling like an unusual guava-coffee shampoo and get those notes amplified ... instead of the lingering patchouli+raspberry aftershave notes that Gucci Oud leaves behind.

This is one of my scents that are two semi-contradictory things in one : Unique, yet super simple. What I mean by that is...the concept of this perfume is SO simple, totally inoffensive, clean smelling...yet at the same time, it doesn't smell like anything else that I own. Also...this is one of those perfumes where you don't smell particular notes even if you try. They just combine to make the perfume's final smell. Like a review below me said...it's not a specific thought or scent that it evokes...you "just smell nice." The first time I sprayed this I swore I couldn't really smell anything. Like a super faint powdery smell with some fruity note in it, a semi-tart fruity note. I was NOT impressed. That was when I received it back in...I think it was July of 2020. Now fast forward to Sept 2020 and although this perfume STILL isn't a beast performer whatsoever...I do smell it more. I get some character this time around. Maybe it's the cooler weather? I think maybe just the heat of mid July just wasn't a good match for this scent. Temperature deff affects some scents on me. So I would probably recommend this for cooler weather. It makes it's presence more known in the cooler temperature. But yes as I said above...this would be your dream perfume if you're a minimalist, if you don't like loud scents, if you're headache-prone when wearing fragrances, or work in a field where wearing stronger, bolder scents are not an option. Longevity - About 4 hours. (Average in my book.) Projection - Very minimal. The first 30 minutes...it'll project about 2-3 feet. After that initial half hour...it'll only project about a foot. It smells really nice but it's weak. Without pressing my nose to my arms...I can smell it for about 1.5-2 hours...for the last 2 hours if it's life I have to physically put my nose to the area I sprayed. Overall Score - Probably somewhere between a 7.5 & an 8 out of 10. Do I personally wish this were more concentrated and a little louder? Yes. But I enjoy it when I wear it and I'm sure there are people out there that I described above that will LOVE that this isn't an Alien-bold sort of perfume. We all need some of those in our collection and this is one of them. I own her original perfume "Naomi Campbell" with the brown fluid in the bottle that looks like a finger nail and I definitely like this one more. I also own another perfume of hers and I can't remember what it is. But anyway...I voted above with a "like" for this one. Very pretty, clean scent. Unisex in my opinion. Not uber feminine whatsoever.

This is a blast from the past, early 2000s, smell of the hairspray back then. Starts of as a fresh hair wash hairspary scent, soft musk with refreshing coffee and skin guava scent. Yes I defnitely smell guava as a lead here, wish it was toned down a bit, it's dry and slightly unisef vibes. I understand some dislike guava fruit and scent, I don't mind. It is done to really trick your senses here. I had to focus for coffee. So imagine early morning shower, hairspray getting ready with fresh morning coffee. Love it! Well done Naomi! I also find it tad spicy, peper not listed. Juicy rasberries paired well with rose and citrus. I get everything except caramel. Someone mentioned CK one comparison, definitely from that era of perfumes. This is more zesty than CK One. Dry down is very citrusy and clean. It lasted all day. Great perfume to start your day with :)
