Naomi Campbell

TO START, I was curious about this fragrance for a very long time, mainly due to all of the mixed reviews. I kept getting this GUT feeling though, that I would absolutely love this. I'm starting to notice that I really like Fragrances that are NOT overly hyped, or mass appealing. I feel like this fragrance gets mixed reviews BECAUSE it's not mass appealing, or a typical run of the mill celebrity fragrance.😒 But I digress. I finally got tired of being curious. I just bit the bullet and blind bought this, and WOW!😲 I need to listen to my gut WAY more often. THIS is a criminally underrated celebrity fragrance. The notes in this are all blended to absolute perfection. It's to the point that it's quite tricky picking out individual notes. This is a mature fragrance, without being dated or vintage. This is sweet, powdery, and floral. In the most intoxicating way. There is nothing juvenile about this. To note, don't just smell the sprayer and make up your mind. The magic happens with the warmth of your skin and body chemistry ❤️ This has to be one of the most beautiful, complex, grown woman, SOPHISTICATED celebrity fragrances that I've EVER encountered. The quality is completely unmatched in this category, and it's price range. This smells like a true designer, not a celebrity. This is just so beautiful beyond words. TBH, I feel like you could get away with this in almost any season. It's so well balanced that, it would work in so many temperatures/climates. I also feel like you also could dress it up, or down. And use this fragrance for many occasions. This is so signature scent worthy. My only complaint is the wear time/projection. On my skin. I Can't smell ANYTHING past 3 to 4 hours, and that's being generous. Projection is an hour or two at the very best. It's such a a shame too because this is incredibly beautiful 😩 On clothes, I'm still testing that part. This will more than likely be a fragrance that you need to reapply or over spray, just my opinion though. It was a crime making this an EDT, I would be in heaven if this was an EDP. Team over sprayer for life 😂 In MY opinion, if you enjoy Fragrances like, S by Shakira, Reb'l Fleur by Rihanna, Christina Aguilera by Christina Aguilera, Touch for Women by Burberry, Cashmere Mist by Donna Karan, or Chapter one by Jennifer Aniston, then you may also enjoy this. Just my personal opinion though. ❤️ This fragrance would be an EASY ten out ten if it had lasted longer, regardless it still gets a nine outta ten from me. It's back up bottle worthy for sure.

The first time I have tried that fragrance was 9 years back. It was a perfumed deodorant and I can remeber I liked it instantly. Perfumed deodorant is much gentler than edt and it felt really refreshing and subtle. To my surprise the deo had a great staying power. After spending time on the beach and taking a quick cold shower, it felt brilliant when sprayed over the sun tanned, hot skin. The subtle notes along my body chemistry created such a wonderful mixture of happiness, freshness, I felt really sexy. My partner couldn't take his 'nose' off me. I promised myself i would get edt one day...It's been years and just recently I got myself a proper sized edt and guess what? Nothing changed :-) I feared that the perfume will no longer suit my changeable taste but when I sprayed it and closed my eyes, the memories came back :-) Subtle rose and magnolia with a hint of coconut brought the memories of my first sweet kiss at sunset...The vanilla and caramel note was a cherry on the top of that cake...NC made me feel nostalgic... It is a romantic fragrance that I love...It is one of these universal perfumes perfect for the shopping day with a best friend, as well as a hard working day at the office :-) It has gentle, yet 'visible' silage and staying power is certainly the best of all Naomi's fragrances... Quality definitely outweights the cost! For some reason I feel that it is much gentler substitute to Alchimie (which I only wear when I am dating my husband, yes, even after years of marriage we can still date our partners!), but hey...what do I know :-) I recommend to Alchimie lovers...just give it a try and don't be put off by ridiculously low price as it is one of those fragrances that do not cost a fortune and do not smell cheap at all! NC is a genuine exception to the rule that price should reflect the perfume quality :-)

I got this one as a gift, long time ago, while I was still in college. I liked it, but I felt it was too mature for me. A few weeks ago, I bumped into it in a drugstore, spritzed it and couldn't stop sniffing myself for the rest of the day - so I came back and bought it. Naomi Campbell is a wonderful, well-rounded fragrance. I've used several of her fragrances over the years, and I love the fact that you can actually imagine Naomi smelling like any of them. This bottle reminds me of her, with its golden-ish color and skinny, tall, sleek design. NC is definitely an autumn/winter fragrance for me. Not because it's too strong for warm days, but because I feel the cold weather accentuates its creamy, warm quality. That being said, I know people call this a gourmand fragrance, but I wouldn't qualify it as such. Although there is significant sweetness there stemming from caramel/vanilla/coconut notes, it never smells too sweet - it mixes with florals and balsamic notes that give it very sensual, feminine, mature aura (something gourmand fragrances usually lack). The perfume develops on me in this particular order - sweet notes, then sweetness dries down a bit and gives way to florals and tuberose, and weirdly, the drydown on me is a bit powderish. I studied the base notes and I will try and guess that this interesting scent comes from opoponax. Although its sillage is pretty good, the longevity is my only complaint about this fragrance. It won't last more than 2-3 hours, and I've noticed that it even evaporates from clothes - so if you want to keep this wonderful scent on you, get ready for re-applying. Apart from that, there is a reason why this wonderful fragrance has been around for almost 20 years.

This used to be my signature for so many years. I was in my twenties and I received quite a few compliments from those who came close enough to smell it. I finally bought it again, mostly because this is a comforting scent to me. It is also very versatile and easy to wear. First response after all these years was being surprised by how sparkly, fresh and prickly-spicy the opening is! The magnolia stands out the most to me and it's surrounded by sitrus and some rather indistinguishable spice. The coconut is voted up, but I can't smell much of it to be honest. It takes a while for that creamy, comfy scent that I remember to appear. For a perfume with so many notes it still comes a cross as a pretty simple scent. Though, that is more of a compliment than a drawback. It does in no way smell like one of todays niche creations, but it does smell beautiful. The notes meld together, like they often do in perfumes that were created way back then. I like that. I'm a bit exhausted by interesting niche scents and I enjoy wearing my good ol' Naomi Campbell again. Try if you come across it and if you like scents like She/Lei, Oxygene or Noa. Update: ok, so I got the coconut loud and clear the other day when I was wearing :)

The top is very tropical, with a suntan lotion vibe, and I smell coconut, and a bitter cirusy note. Then the tropicality (is there such a word?) fades and there's florals I cannot exactly place,a touch of spice, sweet and naughty, sandalwood, vanilla, and a salted caramel sauce with lots of cream. I get a coffee note every once in a while, but if I sniff trying to discern it, I can't seem to be able to. It's a sweet coffee, mind you, with milk. From time to time this scent reminds me of the smell I get in pastry shops, or my own kitchen when I have a cake in the oven, and cookies in the make, and the whole house is filled with intoxicating bakery fumes. The drydown is very feminine, all florals dipped in caramel, with a vanilla pod swimming in there. After many hours into the drydown, I get more pronounced crushed coffee beans into the melee. (I'm sorry, I had previously posted this in Naomi Campbelle's Naomi page, then realized I had made a mistake.) All in all, this may not be grounbreaking, but it's not a wallflower either. It is a "floral gourmand" mostly, and is a far relative of Flowerbomb. In my opinion, it can hold its own in this world inundated with cloyingly sweet fragrances.

I recently repurchased this and it is just as delicious as ever. It has what I call the DK cashmere mist dna. A few of my loves have that same opening dna. including my Artemisia, but this one has a fluffy vanilla benzoin sandalwood tonka yummy Creme brûlée dry down that is to die for! This is true silk and cashmere to me; the feeling of soft silky fluffiness against your skin. The opening is quite citric but immediately morphs to the Artemisia/cashmere mist. Then the dry down, a scrumptious fluffy gourmand-but not edible, just skin like. This fragrance needs the warmth of your skin to bloom. The beginning is a sharp scent that morphs into this fluffy perfection. It is a silk dress on a cool summer night with a thin cashmere cardigan. Or a bed made of silk sheets in front of a warm fire on a cold winters night A must have for me. Sadly it’s discontinued, so any similar fragrances with the same delicious base would be appreciated

I don’t wear gourmands myself, but I often buy them as presents for my girlfriends or young cousins and nieces who enjoy this type of scent. As far as celebrity fragrances go, Naomi Campbell’s line is one of the best, in terms of quality, longevity and value for money. Her eponymous fragrance is a relatively original gourmand, in that it doesn’t remind me of Angel, or LVEB, or any of those ubiquitous sweet scents. To me, the strongest note here is caramel-toffee, but it also smells like coffee, to be precise - capuccino! There’s also the unavoidable pairing of vanilla and tonka beans. Luckily the fruity notes are almost undetectable, which is always a good thing in my book! So, if you are in the mood for some sweet toffees and capuccino, do try this one, you won’t be disappointed! Its projection is moderate, and longevity much better than expected - around six hours.

I have just repurchased Naomi Campbell EDT. I think that this one and Private are among the best celebrity fragrances ever launched, and I don't know how many bottles I've used up over the past twenty years. The original Naomi Campbell is a sweet scent designed for women who normally do not like sweet scents or gourmands. It does contain an abundance of sweet(ish) notes - peach, vanilla, caramel, tonka, coconut and whatnot - but they are masterfully blended into an airy fragrance that is never cloying or sticky-sweet. One of the reasons why this fragrance will forever be a bestseller is that men love to smell it on their women! This scent is sexy, glamourous, seductive and inviting, but not in a vulgar or intimidating way. Moreover, it is very affordable, and yet it is classier and better than many hyped-up, overpriced fragrances. Wear this and feel fabulous.

Considering this is a celebrity perfume, it is amazingly good. It was one of my favorites along with Emporio Armani Lei in my early twenties. I have been on a hunt for a absolute favorite this last year and I just can’t seem to find a perfume that I truly love. So recently I figured, I need to go back to my roots, or so to say😂 I went on line and ordered both this and the Emporio Armani Lei, which was kind of silly because they are so similar. Anyways, I’m happy to have it back in my collection. It’s lovely... warm, tad flower-y and sensual. Not a beast, though. To me it is very light and airy. I remember love wearing this in those hot summer nights. That’s when the projection is at it’s peak. So, totally looking forward to be wearing this in the hotter months.

I've been a huge fan of this scent at least since 2006. I've also loved Emporio Armani Lei since it got released - but never found any similarity... until today. Emporio is my summer scent and Naomi is my late November scent. Two different times, two different scents. But only today did the heliotrope strike me as the stuff that I love most about these two scents and that it's quite prominent. Hence the similarity noticed by some. Especially in combination with vanilla. What can I say? They're both elegant and timeless, you just can't go wrong with these... Either EDP or EDT (DNS will do too) - it's definitely worth trying and having in your wardrobe - even if "just in case".

I blind bought this along with several others from the line (because I love Naomi) and I am not disappointed in the least - actually the perfumes have exceeded my expectations. This one is very nice -warm, creamy, and sexy. I'm typically not crazy about vanilla, and here it's very subtle, added in just the right proportions. All I can say is wow, I really enjoy this perfume. It's not something I would place in the "celebrity scent" category if I were to blind test the fragrance. It's not "thin", cotton candy sweet, or cheap-smelling.. I love the bottle, btw.. The juice is beautifully blended and I'm thinking I'll get another bottle as backup.

This one is very special to me. We met first at 1999 when the perfume was just launched and I was 17. Got it as a sample from some magazine and fell in love at once :) It was so warm, sweet, sexy, mysterious and totally drew me into some other world. So it used to be my signature for many years back then. I still own a bottle, i hardly wear it but i kind of feel obligated to have one on my shelf. Sometimes, just sometimes i go and have a sniff... And it instantly brings back all those memories of being so very young and going out for night. Beautiful. Maybe we should get together again? Old habbits die hard...

This was probably one of the first perfumes I ever smelled as a child and LOVED. To me, this was how a WOMAN smelled. I also had a soft spot for it because it was gifted to my mum by my dad, who's usually terrible at picking gifts (lol) but this was one my mom treasured. Recently, I was going to rebuy my generic everyday perfume and just had this sudden rush of memories and nostalgia. Did a quick look up on the notes, and yep. I wear a highly simplified version of this perfume today as a grown woman. Don't know if they still sell this, but I'd like one!

This frag is absolutely amazing.It was my signature scent untill my sis broke the sprayer and all my bottle evaporated.bad mistake,never share your fave bottle with the sis,learnt my lesson,lol.This is such a gorgeous fragrance,no sickly sweet candies here and its really hard to explain how beautiful and intelligent composition this perfume is.My bottle said made in Germany,have no idea where they are making it.Pretty,feminine,sassy but sophistication is the proper word for this frag.I am in love.Will be buying a new bottle soon.Totally recommended.

First time I smelled this fragrance about 10 years ago. It was my cousin's signature and it got me hypnotized immediately! I bought the perfume for myself maybe a year later. I couldn't stop smelling it on my skin and clothes, it was such a comforting, warm and seductive scent dominated by vanilla and caramel. I didn't repurchase it for some reason, I think it might have been too sweet for everyday use. However I kept the bottle and would smell it long after it was finished :) Longevity was great, more than 6 hrs on skin, on clothes even days.

For starters Im not usually one for Celeb fragrances but the list of notes piqued my interest. Its one of my favourite celeb fragrances. Id call it a slightly spicey woody gourmand. Yes, there is some coconutty sweetness but not too much. Its not weak but perfect so easy to wear anywhere. I get the vanilla, peach,tonka and sandalwood which combine to create a nice sophisticated scent. Sandalwood, musk (particularly the musk!) and oppopanax definitely come into their own after an hour or two. I get little sillage and moderate longevity.

Got it a few days ago.Blind buy. It's not what I expected but I love it anyway. It's sweet but not overly,and also very powdery to my surprise as I hadn't read anything about it. I get peach and a little bit of caramel with some musk too. It does last long indeed but the sillage is not that good. Others can smell it when I move my hands or go by but not like other sillage bombs. It also reminds me of something very familiar from the past but can't remember what. Classy, sexy, feminine scent. Winner for everyday use for sure!

Naomi Campbell “The top notes bring a fruity-floral cocktail, sweet, fresh and exotic” – yes I agree with all that although I can’t pin down any one ingredient over another, I just know I love it and it is my signature fragrance for summer or spring time. I don’t think my nose is very sophisticated but I know what I like and this is it. It’s a sexy elegant fragrance. Love the base notes. Very grown up and way better than I was expecting from a celebrity perfume. Love the bottle too, highly suggestive!!

I wore this fragrance to the last drop back when I was in high school. Feeling nostalgic, I recently repurchased a bottle to see if smelled the same and if I still even liked it. Well, I do! I'm in love with it all over again and I receive compliments everywhere I go. It's perfect for warmer weather, as the coconut really stands out to me. Back then, I didn't care what notes this contained, but now I realize it also has tuberose, which is one of my all-time favorite notes.

This reminds me a little of magnetism by Escada it has the same strong caramel smell. I love it. I only got it because it was the first time I had seen it in a store it is hard to get in Australia. Also the reviews were very good. I am glad I got it I love it. It doesn't last long on me so I have to keep spraying it. The bottle is ugly I wish she hadn't agreed to that shape but very nice perfume I just wish I could try some of her others but we don't have them here.
