Hobbit

It's been a long, long time since I sent my nose on a journey... a little purchase has shaken me awake and here I am again :)))

I immediately delved into new releases, and even though I usually have no attraction to such bright bottles, I wanted it... I absolutely wanted to test it... Blind buys make me hesitant after previous failures... Thanks to Souk, I'm sniffing around in this land of milk and honey...

Scent scent: One must either love such fragrances... or hate them... I believe there's not much room in between... for me, it's a punch to the past... childhood... heart-shaped candy hearts from America... my mother's old makeup bag with vintage (not musty) powder and a puff... Lush packages filled with delicious bath and body products with loads of American Cream... *drooling*... it's so wild and chaotic but soooo beautiful... sweet, creamy, powdery... minimally fruity... but really just a veeeery faint hint.

A petit four for the senses with lots of cream, powdered sugar, and sugar pearls on top... sweet, almost sticky like condensed milk but without the headache... the scent drives me crazy... addictive because it’s so beautiful and dreamy, awakening a sense of security and well-being within me...
The pepper makes it ripe and mature... and thus unique... not just another sweet girly fragrance!

Conclusion: I truly believe I've never smelled a fragrance that awakens so much in me and gives me so much. A scent that doesn't creep into my nose at every corner and has recognition value without bothering anyone... and one that I would love to smell and perceive on myself 24/7... Opposites attract? YES! I love this sweet bottle/fragrance of light in its dark shadowy form.

Here, Otto Kern surprised us both; at first, one might think that Speed could be quite aquatic and fresh, which neither my husband nor I like, but what we get here is something completely different.
Does the green accent hint at that? Would it be blue if it were aquatic?
One could speculate.

Here, I find that a lot is offered and it has provided me with a surprise including a WOW factor.
The scent starts fruity... but really interestingly executed... a bit of citrus, the pineapple very mild... and then our favorites come in like frosted mint leaves... very subtly hinted orange blossom and also the black pepper clearly stands out.
And as the exciting opening fades a bit, what gives it the "Speed" becomes wonderfully woody/spicy/warm. This adds depth and makes the scent very down-to-earth.
Vanilla and tonka bean add a bit of coziness to the mix, resulting in a successful scent for everyday wear that is well-suited from office to leisure... I would also like it on a date... here the package is completely successful and offers much more than the rather simple presentation suggests.

A very down-to-earth scent at an absolutely fair price, timeless and ageless... it works anytime.

Naomi Campbell has never disappointed me, to be honest, so it was clear right away when I saw the appealing pink cap on the usual bottle... with the wonderfully colorful box.
I always fondly remember my school days with fragrances, when we explored the perfume shelves for the first time on a class trip with friends... such beautiful memories... I always get nostalgic... and every new scent awakens new memories in me... totally amazing.

Bohemian Garden starts off very fresh for me; lemon is really very, very noticeable... I wouldn't have thought I would like it, but highlighted by the mild peach blossoms and gentle pear, it is truly a wonderful experience.

In the heart note, we get a little closer to the familiar Naomi, and the liking grows ever stronger. Here it becomes floral and cozy... especially lily of the valley and cotton blossom stand out clearly for me, while the otherwise dominant flowers like jasmine and rose only subtly veil it, making this feminine sexy medley truly complete in an incredibly sensual way.

In the base, there is no question left for me; here is Naomi, creamy, well-groomed... feminine.
Musk, vanilla, sandalwood hold the scepter here, allowing the flowers to sink into a cozy silk bed... here we simply recognize the typical Naomi scent... which has not left my mind for years and continues to please. Not overpowering, and despite the fact that we all know Naomi and it is a scent found in drugstores, it is not something you smell on every corner and yet is instantly recognizable. To be honest, for me, in this segment, these are scents you can buy and gift blindly... they usually always hit the mark... and they consistently offer a high level and, so far, absolutely no disappointment for me...

Despite being "only" an EDT, it outperforms many perfume EDPs in terms of longevity and sillage... I am absolutely satisfied and convinced, a wonderful scent that is timeless.
In summer, floral with a light citrus note without being overpowering; in winter, strong enough not to get lost but also not too light or spritzy to only shine in summer.
Absolutely successful!

The women’s fragrance is, for me, my personal surprise of the two, as I generally prefer both women’s and men’s scents to be intense and assertive.

With a bit of "fear," I took a sniff, as I was worried it might be too light or delicate...but NO. The rich pink did not disappoint; I am head over heels from start to finish.

We have a few fragrance notes here, but they are well-balanced and make my pink heart flutter. The delicate orange blossom opens up an explosion of impressions that is immediately powerfully caught by the opulent jasmine. I can't make out the iris...maybe it leaves an unnoticed trail behind it...but I don’t miss it either.

Suddenly, without beating around the bush, we move straight to the dessert. It gets really sweet; vanilla and chocolate cuddle up to a rich dessert that is practically begging to be bitten into. Pure gourmand...sweet...warm...dominant. A real hit for women from their mid-twenties...there's no upper limit, but I find the wearer, like the fragrance, has a bit of a peacock vibe with a flair for self-expression. Perfect for me...definitely for you too :) LOVE!!! with powerful sillage and longevity. Bench has surprised me here, how convincing. THANK YOU

It couldn't be better represented in terms of color/design. I expected a sporty/fresh scent, and that's exactly what I got.

Lemon, pine needle, and juniper harmonize excellently, with the lemon leading the way and being lightly spiced and fresh. It continues with spicy and slightly herbal notes, while the floral notes are very subtle and only hint at a mild sweetness. The base becomes creamy woody with a smoky touch, but the fresh notes remain consistently dominant, ensuring that the fragrance never feels heavy and stays rather fresh from start to finish. Sporty and distinctive, I see the target audience here as being in their twenties, and even then, more towards the middle.
