Omnia Bvlgari for women

A nice scent which is easily unisex. I'm a little disappointed that the base is so citrussy as this turns it a bit masculine to my nose. Luckily, I don't smell tea as I really don't like tea scents. To me it's saffron and citrus all over, and will make a good evening scent for the summer when other orientals may be too strong. I don't find it particularly edible, due to the cologne -like top notes which overwhelm the other notes.
It is a nice, safe and pleasant scent which I'll reach for quite often I think, as it fits most weathers and seasons

I love Luxatron's review which is spot on... Long after I can't smell Omnia on myself someone will tell me how good I smell and inquire what am I wearing. I wish everyone could wear it as I can so well. There are just no false notes whatsoever. WADR to kris919 you'd probably love, as I do, Black Cashmere by Donna Karan. That one you can take to church OR to your leather bar! I DO love variety as well. That said, Omnia is not just a fragrance but a way of being in life for a woman who is beyond playing relationship games, has an accurate sense of herself, is wise beyond her years. She is sensual, confident, warm, inviting, loving, but always pragmatic. She is not girly, perky, or naive. Her humor is twisted and her laugh slightly wicked. However, you won't find her in a leather bar. She has no criticism for those who do. It's just that she's been there and done that. Frankly, she doesn't care what people think. Her fragrance does not define her... it simply supports who she is and how she shows up. She isn't old but she is fully alive for the first time in her life. Her life is rich, peaceful, and joy filled.
PS It's like breathing in a cup of Good Earth tea (original) with a splash of tangerine. The white chocolate is evident only in it's ability to keep the notes from going sharp or bitter keeping it soft, warm and sophisticated. Definitely apart from the entire pack out there today.

Quite possibly the dumbest,cheapest, worst bottle design I've ever held in my hand. What is it supposed to be anyhow?? 2 twisted up hemorrhoids? Despite that unpleasant fact..this is a nice underrated soft scent, but in typical Bvlgari fashion it's light and it doesnt last very long. I smell a soft light chai tea, cinnamon, ginger, something citrus-y, and soft woody notes. This is a safe perfume to wear anywhere, I dont think you could even overspray this if you tried. Soft soft soft. I just wish for once your perfumes could stop being so soft. For the love of god, butch yourself up a little...at least for one scent! Even Black was soft with all that light vanilla. Oh Bvlgari, someone really needs to take you out to a leather bar so you can be whipped to techno music....or something. That being said.. I do like it, but it's not spicy, strong, or complex enough to love it.

Omnia was recommended to me as a sort of "everyday oriental" warm and spicy, but close wearing and well behaved. I can tell now that it is indeed a very mellow milk-tea oriental, lightly spiced on an incredibly quiet ambery-woody-vanilla background. On paper it is fresh-smelling and incredibly dimensional; a spicy tea floral set to a creamy woods and amber background with all the components musically set.

On my body, the scent of bitter orange rind blooms and crushes all other components beneath it's acid weight. Three hours later, valiant sandalwood and white chocolate have successfully crawled from under it's girth, but the orange accord had already been publicly declared unpleasant by family. It's as if Omnia reproduces my natural skin scent so closely that the only difference IS orange oil.

Another amazing perfume I'm not sure I can wear.

Other reviewers have described Omnia in much more eloquent terms than I can, so I'll comment on a different aspect of the perfume instead.

Chandler Burr has, in the past, written about a rare quality in certain fragrances, where they manage to melt right into the skin, leaving the people around you saying "Mmm, you smell so good!" rather than "Mmm, your perfume smells so good!" Omnia is one of those fragrances, and it does it so very well.

The ginger, cardamom, and tea are delicious, of course, but its that white chocolate, simmering on your skin, radiating its creamy milky sweetness, that elevates this fragrance from ordinary to extraordinary. Love.

My mother got Omnia as a gift from one of her clients. She doesn’t use perfume on everydays that’s why she gave this to me. I was very happy for it because I’ve read great reviews on Omnia but when I had tested it before I got the smell of a dead animal (tester obviously had gone bad).
Nevertheless, I’ve always wanted to retest it and see how it smells for real. Well, not the typical scent I use. I’m keen on dark, deep, powdery woodies. This was not one of them. If my nose weren’t this trained I’d probably find it a winter scent, but this is a perfect summer scent for me. Actually I don’t find Omnia warm. Pine trees and earth come to my mind when I smell it. And I like it. This is a suitable office scent and it’s the best choice for those occasions when you don’t wish to be recognized but memorized. Wear this when you see a male friend. He will probably compliment how you smell yet he won’t feel like you are trying to seduce him. It will be loved because it doesn’t exert itself to be loved.

I agree with much of what DresdenDoll stated. I continue to try everything that comes to mind as I enjoy a variety of scents for various moods. Omnia continues to be number one for me for so many various reasons. I regret it has taken me years to appreciate this easily underestimated fragrance. I absolutely LOVE the top notes - a bit of citrus blast. When it begins to develop and dry down, it melts into my skin and I mistook that for fading away. Mystically someone will then ask something like, "What do you have on it smells SOOO good"? One woman even had to get out a tablet and write it down. My sadness is that although the clerks recently at the Bvlgari store emphatically assured me Omnia was not discontinued, I've noticed while the Omnia flankers (Amethyste, Chrystalline, Green Jade), have been given a new look with a beautiful new bottle more like the rest of the Bvlgari line, Omnia has not been included. I've written to them directly and have not yet received an answer. I hope they are not discontinuing it and meanwhile am beginning to hoard this wonderful product.

A fragrance like a fresh baked coffee cake. It's not too strong but with a spice scent that is good. It has a warmth to it that makes me think of the winter months and holidays. I would put it away in the spring until winter comes again.

This is not what I was expecting. This is the mildest and most well behaved oriental I've come across. It's so gentle. Soft spices; chai and cardamom mostly with hints of nutmeg and ginger. The lotus is very dominant on me, weaving its way seamlessly into the spices, and all melting into the white chocolate that isn't sweet at all, just creamy smooth. A dash of powdery tonka completes this velvety composition.
Sillage is minimal, this remains close, so I can't imagine it being offensive and it is certainly very unique. I don't find it feminine at all, this is distinctly unisex despite the floral lotus note. It is almost a clean scent, hugging the skin like scented soap.
The bottle is not at all as awkward as it looks but it looks like cheap plastic and the atomiser is pretty bad, it trickles out rather than sprays.
However this scent is a definite winner for me. It doesn't smell like anything else and I think is very versatile indeed. It is such a wonderful new way to enjoy spices, in a delicate and milky blend.

it's not perfect because its not versatile..sometimes its too distarcting to wear it and the surrounding may find it difficult to stand..but its unique therefore it deserves your attention

I love this perfume from the moment I tried it to every single time I wear this. It is perfect for Winter. I have had so many compliments wearing this perfume, but more importantly I love wearing it. The only down side to this perfume I love is the spray/bottle, this does not spray more like Squirts liquid when you use it, I am hoping that Blvgari change this and this would be my ULTIMATE PERFECT PERFUME.

This is fantastic.

Spicy, but not cologny or overly maculine.

Noticeable, but not powdery, floral, old or too sweet.

Complex, but balanced and undulating rather than overdone.

I love this especially in winter. It keeps me warm under my layers of cloth.

It's unique. It's delicious. It makes me feel vibrant and fiery and powerful, but comforting and nurturing and womanly.

It is independent and unapologetic, but not coarse or loud. It doesn't smell like something I'm putting on for a man, or for other women. Not to impress anyone. It somehow is a personality that reinforces my own. It is for me.

And yet, it carries these spices and delectable notes that can be perfectly sultry.

You know that woman that even the girls want, the one who is active and sharp, who is gracious and warm but so secure and defined in herself that you cannot imagine her infatuated or manipulative, or ever trying to impress anyone? Which is, perhaps, just what's so great about her that makes her so desired? If she were a perfume, she would be this.

It smells fine, but just fine.
To me, it has no character.

I agree totally in desertrat's lovely revue, its a wonderful smooth light but spicy scent, the citrus notes blend so beautifully with the spice accords.
I dont dare to say its gonna be my signature, but could truly be a runner up.
And of course - Omnia is created by the nose of my favoirite !
Alberto Morillas - again !

GREAT NEWS! Omnia has NOT been discontinued! I was in the Bvlgari store on Saturday and inquired about this rumor AND bought another bottle. The clerks there assured me and had not heard the rumor. I'm so thrilled. For anyone that is underwhelmed by this sleeper... give it another try and wear in a crowded room - like a party setting. There are no drydown notes you have to wait out or get past. It's staying power is a fooler... You think it's gone... but it's totally on the job... I have come to appreciate it to the point I'm ready to claim it as my signature... My husband loves it, strangers love it, and I haven't annoyed anyone with it - PLUS you don't smell yourself coming and going. It doesn't scream, nobody around you gets taken hostage...
Unique,
subtle,
empowered
warm
sophisticated
classic,
timeless,
feminine but not girlie.
For the woman who wants to be
adored
not ignored...

Coconut! Really surprised coconut is not listed in the notes. Hmmm.... was expecting so much more from this. With all the notes listed I was expecting maybe a boom, bam, pow! Oh well, it's pleasant enough...just not impressive. Here's what I get: creamy coconut, lightly spiced, slightly edible. But, wait, where did it go? Ah well, it's nice, just not for me.

Last night my husband and I had a function to attend. The venue was casual and outside with 600 people. I knew Omnia was the perfect juice for this event. I no sooner arrived and a woman I just met asked me what wonderful perfume I was wearing. She actually had to write it down so she could buy some for herself. I swear - you can't over spray it and you can always wear it with confidence. It is like a quick splash of lemon added to your creamy steaming chai tea... The spices are delicious not masculine... There is just enough touch of floral from the lotus... and just enough sweet from the almond and tonka... it is divine and it is perfect... I hope we can always get it... It is my best friend...

I'm finally getting around to reviewing one of my beloved fragrances. Omnia is a fairly new discovery for me, but it's quickly become one of my all-time favorites. There is simply nothing else like it. Nothing. On me, it's more sweet than spicy, and the tea note dominates. I love how it leaves a delicate whisper on all my scarves and sweaters (and this is most definitely a sweater scent). My the only complaint is the bottle, which is terribly designed. It tips over easily, and one day it fell right off my shelf and the plastic cracked. Now my beloved Omnia is slowly leaking out into a plastic bag. When it's gone, I'll get a new, bigger bottle and keep it somewhere safe.

My Omnia,

Well, i think its the first time in my life i said, ok this is a really good perfume. I ordered it on line since someone without brain (sorry) decided to discontinue this miracle.It was my first best ever blind buy.

First of all it has staying power on me.Cause i read the comments below and maybe its the skin, i dont know. Imagine, i put it in 11 in the morning, i did house cleaning and dishes and i can still smell it after all that water on me! I repeat maybe its my skin.

It starts with Chai. Then i smell a lot of ginger and the drydown its white chocolate with almond and cinnamon.Must say it has a bit medicin element but i like it on perfumes.

I think its an all day fragrance.Why not at the office? Its so good, and to tell you the truth it makes me feel get out of the house and meet new people, wearing my LOVELY Omnia.

Unfortunately i bought the 40ml bottle. But i'm sure i'll have a larger one in the future(if i can find one).

This fragrance was nice for a few months and then I gave it to my Mother as I grew tired of the odd bottle shape and it was a little difficult to press the spray out of it.

It is a nice scent, but I liked it for 2 months and then gave it to my Mom to finish it.

I grew out of it quickly.

Quite a pleasant smell of hot sexy women
The oil has Zfransh Mhshrsh
Too low and the air smells a little shelf near the skin

بوی کاملا زنانه سکسی گرم دلنشین
اسانس زعفرانش محشرش کرده
حیف ماندگاری کم و پخش بوی کم

I orderer this perfume on-line, since i can´t find it in my country avaiable.. I´m disappoint because I was based in the reviews.. but I´ll explain I was dying for try this one so.. when I oppened the box it came a gorgeous smell to my nouse and I tought "WOW This is wonderfull, I´ll love it" but when i put it in my skin I instantly remenber Womanity of thierry mugler.. not the same but very simmilar.. and also Versace Crystal noir.. it doesn´t has fig in the composicion .. but it smell like fig on me.. After a while i can stand.. But still.. Not for me!!!

I love this. I think this smell is perfect for Autumn: flowery and woody, but not too heavy. Just love it so much.

It is still my go to favorite. Delightful but not sexy... Fresh but not boring... Thanks to the Masala Chai you enjoy spice without it turning into "old spice"... BTW... there is not another fragrance with this wonderful note! Decent staying power and wear with the confidence you won't disturbe sensitive types around. It's perfect for work or daytime. It IS the only one of the Omnias I like. The others are nice but disappear within minutes. Notice there is NOTHING to compare it to it's THAT GOOD!!! I can't say enough good things about it. It is your best friend. And like a good friend... or a good spouse... don't underestimate this one. My husband loves it...

The parfume a bit unusual from what I used to but not bad at all,I grew to love it really.Just as it was mentioned allready ,it does not last long .Not very great moneywise.I have 40 ml bottle and it would not last me long and it is not a cheap parfume.The smell is warm , musculine and misterious.
8 out of 10 (because its not last long as gucci rush for example)

I bought this blind as I wanted a Sandalwood perfume for autumn. The first blast of citrus mandarin is very fresh and lovely. I was expecting then a complex scent but I do like it anyway because it smells like pure sandalwood and I love sandalwood. There is also soap. I cannot detect any of the other spice notes, there is a woodiness quite masculine and warm. It does not last very long on me.

I had a bottle but I swapped it. At first I liked it: an oriental scent with delicate spices but the more I sniffed, the more I thought it recalls a chicken soup for me! All these spices which I like very much but not in this fragrance together with the other ingredients gave such a strange feeling.

Lasting power: minus good.

I tried this some time a go in the airport. It was in a discount basket, but I didn`t buy it. Then my flight departed and I sniffed my wrist. It was so good! Sweet, yummy and spicy. I was so upset, I just wanted to jump from the plane and get my bottle from the tax free!

Then I found a small bottle from a webstore and ordered it right away. And sprayed immediately when it arrived.
What a disapointment! It smelled just like pickles on me! Just pickles dipped in white chocolate... I was again very upset and couln`t believe my nose... But I have read this has happened to some other people too.

Well I didn`t give up and tried again after couple of days. And now the pickles were a lot less noticeable. So I think it was a hormonal twist. Just have to see what happens next time I try it...
I still want to love this and I hope I will!!

So nice! Reminds me of the Omnia Crystalline of course, sparkly but warm. In this one there is the added note of something coconut-ish! I'm guessing there are notes that are blending together to give me this impression because coconut isn't listed and what I smell is not really a typical sweet coconut smell- it's very mildly sweet, nutty and CREAMY. Maybe that's white chocolate? Anyway... Delicious!

This scent is simply divine. If it were a luscious snack, it would be a steaming cup of black tea with cream paired with sweet, salted caramels. It is everything I love in a scent and sultry yet clean and comforting. As mentioned before, I also detect a distinct soapiness but nothing too sharp and somehow it works with the sweetness. To my nose, the balance of notes are simply perfect...I have a hard time pulling out individual notes with this one.....could be my that my nose isn't very refined or maybe it's just blended really well. Ginger and mandarin don't stand out to me at all. There's just something really salty that stands out to me.....I wish I knew what it was because I love it!
Ok....now for the bad :0( It doesn't last on me at all. It's already a very soft scent that stays very,very close to my skin.I'm hoping it's the hot weather we're having right now but others have mentioned it too. Why( on my knees...pleading to the perfume Goddesses)!!?? Why when I find something I so adore does it have to be weak and without staying power?On the other hand....maybe that's part of what makes it so alluring...the constant urge to seek out it's loveliness with my nose.

Omnia has reminded me about how important it is to rethink. I've carefully stayed away from the orientals after having used too much YSL Opium in the late 70ies. For years Omnia seemed available everywhere in its not very appealing packaging, and I simply didn't bother to test it. Particularly not after having studied the list of notes; there are too many similarities to the recipe of a cake I sometimes make fore Xmas.

So I ignored Omnia until I read that it was being discontinued and decided to learn what it was like before it disappeared from the shelves. And I was completely swept away by this wonderful composition. The spices were not strong and fierce as I had imagined but soft and simply delightful. But what really stands out is the lotus flower. It's like a bright green stroke just above a dark pond of soft spices, tea and chocolate.

I notice that the lasting power can be a problem for some of you but this is not the case for me; I spray it in the morning and it still lingers on my skin when I return home in the evening.

And for once, I almost look forward to the arrival of the cold season.

Is there also available a EdT version of Omnia perfume? If there is, does anyone know, where it could be bought.

I picked up a full bottle for cheap at a local Ross store, simply on speculation. While I won't add it to my (ever-growing) list of favorites that I simply must have at hand, I won't be placing it in the swapper pile either. I didn't expect much; in my experience, Bvlgari perfumes are wildly uneven in quality. (Ranging from Voile de Jasmin, which is a joke, as it's nearly undetectable & instantly disappears, to Black, which i wish to disappear.) The bottle is ludicrous & feels shoddy, but the perfume isn't half bad. Not too linear, not dull...opens nicely on the skin. It has a pleasing assortment of spicy notes along with a definite creaminess and a subtle hint of smoke, as if someone made masala chai with Lapsang Souchong. There's a bit of nuttiness (almond?) to it as well as a high-pitched citrus component (mandarin), along with saffron and some other floral(s) that I'm hard-pressed to pin down...the notes say lotus, and it does smell like lotus in a way, but as if it's getting there elliptically through an intersection of other components. In fact, the whole fragrance has that elliptical or side-long quality to it; there are lots of notes, there's a lot going on, and it feels to me as if much of what I'm detecting is from the intersection of things rather than a straight-forward presentation of things in themselves. A perfume legerdemain, if you will. The white chocolate in particular...Any road, it's an interesting perfume and fairly appealing to me to wear despite the fact that it has a strong gourmand quality and I am not usually caught by those. The leaflet enclosed with the perfume describes Omnia as a "light Oriental", which seems fair enough; I'd qualify it as a light gourmand-Oriental. Not one of the great perfumes of our times, but a more cerebral and sensual approach to the non-niche gourmand. I'll grab it when I want an easy piece, a departure from my heavier Orientals or heady florals or niche-y compositions. Sillage is moderate for a while, then light; lasting power also light to moderate. After the first 40 minutes or so, I think it's gone, but then it will surprise me with an occasional wisp of scent. Still, needs frequent re-application to be appreciable. Don't save pennies to acquire it---there are far more interesting and more lasting entries out there---but if you chance on a cheap bottle in the discounter's, by all means give it a whirl.

absolutely one of my favorites. Love the spices. so sexy do I feel wearing it. It is more of a winter perfume, but I treat myself even in the fall with this wonderfully pleasant perfume. forever on my shelf

Upon first spritz I get fresh ginger, soft lotus, and a pop of cardamom. Very refreshing!

Soon after it begins to dry I can smell luscious sweet almond blended with the cardamom and chai...this is wonderful! I really wish the scent stayed like the heart notes! I really can not smell the cinnamon and cloves here...bummer!

It's not long before the sandalwood and tonka settle in. It's a very light tonka not super sweet like in Yves Rocher So Elixir. It would be nice if the sandalwood was more pronounced here too.

IMO all of the Bvlgaria Omnia line possess a second-skin scent quality, which is nice if you are in the mood for a cozy light scent or for a casual wear scent.

If you like this scent but wanted more of the sweet almond-chai-cardamom-clove yumminess but even sweeter...try Kenzo Amour Indian Holi!

Omnia has been described phenomenally already, so I won’t bore you with my take on it. I just want to add that if you enjoy this aroma, but find the longevity, depth and throw slacking, try L’Artisan’s Tea for two! They are strikingly similar, both in the air and on skin, but Tea for Two has more character and picked up when Omnia let me down. I mainly smell saffron, ginger and of course tea vapors in this perfume. I just wish it would last longer!

I don't know what to make of Omnia. I bought a bottle cheap because i was dying to try it and thought it sounded like something i would like.
So far it just smells like a funky lemongrass scent. I wore it all day and even in the dry down, this really odd citrus smell lingered. Could be the ginger mixed in as well. And man, it is strong. For hours i could smell it.
Maybe my nose is broken, i really don't know about this fragrance. I will have to try wearing it again and see what happens.

I smell the chai scents, but it poorly stays on my skin, probably i can only smell it under one hour after i sprayed it.

I can't say this bvlgari is an EDP with that poorly lasting power

Very nice design on their bottle though

I sprayed this on myself in the department store and at first I was like what the hell is this? It was bizarre at first like citrus notes, pepper notes and then later it faded and there was this super sweet vanilla caramel scent left...it was amazing.
Spicy and sweet.

Of all the Omnia scents so far, I liked this most. I had a sample of it and it reminded me of Hilary Duff "With Love". On me there was something like an incence note. Nevertheless, the sample didn't convince me enough that I was interested any further in this scent.

Claims to be full of spices, but doesn't deliver. Nice and sweet, like a cheap hot cross bun. One of those that makes you suspicious they spent more time designing the bottle than the scent. I don't recall pepper or chai, just a creme brulee type thing. Very very similar to L'instant de Guerlain. Buy whichever is cheapest in the cake shop.

I actually bought this then sold it on Ebay..and regretted it ever since. So I rebought about a month later.

It opens just a little soapy on me, not sure which note would cause that, but within 10 minutes settles into a divine sweet but not too sweet cinnamon and almond..almost coconuty?. Not strong..but "fluffy" and it just gently floats around you. A real comfort scent for me.
Not what I expected from the listed notes at all. I thought it would be intense spicy-ness but it's very gentle slightly sweet spicey.
Sillage is good and longevity about 5 hours though I see many have a problem with this - maybe my skin/climate?

One other thing I have to mention. This and Omnia Crystalline are the only 2 my other half ALWAYS comments on how nice I smell :)

I can just detect citrus notes at the beginning and after that slight masala chai and woodsy notes. After that nothing! But asking someone to smell my wrist I have benn told it's wonderful. Definitely a skin scent.

Bvlgari oncce again proves that it does not like me.

I just can't seem to wear anything from this house because they all disappear on me.

Unfortunately, Omnia is like all the rest in this regard. At first I got a herbal eucalyptas smell, reminding me of a cough drop or Vick's Vapor rub, then... poof it was gone :o(

This scent is very elusive and quite lovely. I am getting soft spices,and there is a creamy feel to this as well.

This is a skin scent to me,and I really FEEL the aura of gentle woods,and a beautiful mix the woods are with the swirls of spice,saffron she is there,and so is ginger,and the cream of almonds and chai. my bottle is oil perfume,and it is a scent "replica" of the perfume.

Omnia is one of my fave. classy and modern and not too girly, and lasting on my skin. luv tiz so much

It sounds like an oxymoron, but Omnia is light and spicy at the same time. I didn't think it was anything special, but it grew on me and I can now say that I love it.

It's pure spices sweetened a little by what smells like musk on my skin, but it's not in the notes, so I'm probably misinterpreting another note. It doesn't project far from the skin and the longevity on me isn't bad either.

nice fragrance.thought it was for a very mature person though.no staying power.

Although it does not seem to be there, it is. Long after I have thought it gone someone will ask me what I am wearing. A great everyday perfume, even in the most scent sensitive places. I love the spice and sandlewood.

Disappears too quickly. 30 minutes & *POOF* I can no longer detect it on myself. However, it continued to garner compliments for hours and hours afterward so it was obvious that others could still detect the beauty long after I could not. As much as I enjoy pleasing others with my fragrance I wear it ONLY to please myself so I pass along those that my nose can't detect.

Add me to those who were seduced by the luscious list of notes and then disappointed when my nose could no longer detect it. If you don't mind the "disappearing act" and want a subtle office fragrance then this one should be toward the top of your list.


Alberto Morillas has only disappointed me once before, with Notte for women, also a Bvlgari, so I blame Bvlgari for watering down the concentration of what were, no doubt, masterful recipes. (Cartier, for one, respected Mr. Morillas enough to pay for higher quality ingredients for Baiser du Dragon and Panthere.) Shame on you, Bvlgari.

Yes, there's an attractive oriental spice mix here (I get ginger but no chocolate) but I expect to be able to smell a fragrance on my skin or clothing for AT LEAST an hour, even when I pay just a little money for it. This has to be the most expensive body spray I've ever used.

This perfume is like an addiction.
Stays long on my skin.
Love it !

In my opinion, 'Omnia' is a failed attempt at perfume trying to be perfume and a compkete waste of money. As a consumer, I felt cheated that I had spent so much money on a perfume that lacked longevity. Sure, the initial spray had a cooling almost aromatherapeutic effect that lasted only.... moments. I continued 'topping up' until the perfume finished - sooner than I expected! I have not purchased any other BVLGARI perfume since then.

I bought this after reading the reveiws. I wanted a cinnamon/spicy perfume. This is gorgeous. I love it. It warms down to a ginger spice aroma. Not overpowering. It creeps up on you evey now and then and whispers seductively "Hi I'm still here.

Like a black, syrupy chai concentrate with extra spice, and a marzipan note from the almond.

Smells like a slender, aromatic female cigar. I just want to roll this up and smoke it...

Perfect for a date to the cabaret lounge.

I have to say that the nutmeg and ginger make me feel like I am going to heave.......

I had such high hopes for Omnia. I REALLY wanted to love it. I sprayed it on my skin and got all the spiciness I was looking for and then....it turned to complete PEPPER! No other scent. Just pepper. I will give it another try eventually hoping that my chemistry will become more accomodating but for now, pepper!

Recently I took Omnia in my hands for the first time. I never ever thought about it before that day. The accidental contact with creamy-spicy- brown delicacy. Every day scent that suits casual frames of life. I walked with her in cold winter morning and sipped coffee with a friend.

She smelled like separated lovers.
The torment in ginger box.
She tasted like bear hand pressed against the wall.
Humming nutmeg in candle flame.
She smelled like fear of never meeting again.
Spilled cinnamon on carpet covered floor.
She smelled like love.
One rarely heard of.

On the test strip, this was a spicy opening, but very gentle and warm. On my skin, this opened as a coconut-powder, then eventually dried down to a sweetish warm powdery musk-like scent. I was disappointed as I was hoping that I would have a nice, light spicy oriental that I could wear on a regular basis. I will probably try it again, but the tester will do fine and I won't be looking for a full bottle to add to my collection.

Oh, my dear fellow perfumistas, you really have no idea how long I have spent scouring the shelves and perfume departments for this one! I eventually had to bite the bullet and pay for it online. Incidentally, does anyone know if they've discontinued the original Omnia? If so, for shame! I've smelled the others in this line, and in my opinion, they are nowhere as wearable (which is, let's face it, the ultimate yardstick for value for money) as their progenitor.

There's a bit of debate with the reviews clearly on whether or not it's PC to call Omnia an oriental. Certainly, to leave it at "oriental" is not entirely accurate when you smell it for the first time. It's a whisper of an oriental... not at all offensive or forthright. Omnia might feel more at home classed with the soft orientals or oriental woody fragrances. It hasn't quite got the kick you find in regular orientals. Yes, there's a wealth of spices here, but none of them ever really dominate, so well-blended is the perfume. It's more like a hint of nutmeg and ginger, a dash of some kind of tea note (smells like earl grey to my nose), and a suggestion of light florals and wood notes at the base. The notes in Omnia drift in and out like a succession of dreams from the previous night. Some might wake up and never remember anything, but for others there's a lingering memory of some faraway exotic land (India, most likely), where the air is heavy with spices and the women walk around in colourful silk saris. But it's just a promise of it, a fleeting memory of it from a past life. Is it any wonder why some reviewers have claimed they cannot smell anything?

I love Omnia for its wearability. It's a deeply comforting scent to inhale. When I spray this one on I can't help feel like I'm inside a wooden lodge somewhere on a cold winter's evening, with a warm blanket draped over me, a hot cup of spiced masala tea, and a roaring fire crackling away on the hearth. Omnia also has a hidden, gentle gourmand character that feels indulgent but is never cloying. The sillage is weak, but I imagine this is a perfume that was designed to sit close to the skin. Only if you're right next to that special someone can they inhale the magic of Omnia. On the right skin type, Omnia has the capacity to last for hours on end (8+ for me I'm delighted to have found out), but it's elusive nature means its not to everyone's taste. You'd have to really love it to want to add it to your collection.

Do I have any gripes about it? Myabe just one. I'm not mad about the bottle design. I would acknowledge its uniqueness, but its avant-garde feel seems to belie Omnia's practicality - when I use it, it's not so much a spritz as it is a squirt of juice whose aim I'm still perfecting! It is different to Bvlgari's usual bottle designs, so kudos to them for willing to break out of their comfort zone. The colour scheme for Omnia is just perfect, though. The amber-brown-gold hues all evoke the heart of this perfume.

I was first introduced to Omnia while on vacation in Rome. The clerk and my husband insisted it was wonderful on me so I bought the 2.2 oz. size. However, I wasn't in love with it but would wear it from time to time. Looking for something new this past year I decided to give it another try. Every time I would wear it my husband would ask what I was wearing and how he loved it. It's just such a departure for me from the usual heavier scents that I've always worn I had to open my mind...and my nose...to a new way of being. It is perfect and I can wear it anywhere and any time. For me it opens with a bright shot of citrus. When it begins to develop on my skin it is rich in spice and sophisticated but not demanding like Opium. It lasts longer than I realize as I'll be asked what I'm wearing long after I think it's gone... I'd have to say I have underestimated it and it has turned out to be my new signature scent...
BTW... This is the only Omnia that smells good on me AND has staying power. Everytime I go back to it after wearing others - I'm crazy about it all over again. You have the fun of spice without the harsh masculine edge and sharpness that usually accompanies an Oriental.

Everytime when I look at the notes of a perfume and I think I should LOOOOOVE it, sometimes I get dissapointed. Up until now most of those perfumes are created by Alberto Morillas, probably the greatest nose ever. It just isn't me I guess...

one of my top 5 perfumes!! always gets complements. and its not known by many so im always asked what it is im wearing! this is a strange love affair thou as when i spray it on and smell my skin its not that nice almost smells like beer! the smell that follows me around all day thou is lush! also if i put a dress on that i last wore the same day as omnia the smell is gorgeous clean fresh musky spicy interesting. my boyfriend also says its a very sexy smell. and i love the bottle .

I'm relieved to read that others have the same problem with quick dissipation of this one. I love it, truly love it, but it lasts only a matter of minutes on me! I've never had an experience like this with any fragrance, and I'm disappointed that it happens with such a unique and pretty one. If anyone has suggestions for a similar scent with some staying power, please post.

There are several scents that I love so much but unfortunately they disappear from my skin in a matter of minutes. Omnia is one of them. It has everything I truly love - saffron, nutmeg, cloves, masala tea - and all this goodness straight from the 1000 nights is gone in a blink of an eye.
How can a perfume full of spicy notes, with such a bold heart and a woody base, can be so fleeting?

This is a rare time when I am praying for reformulation.

I'm so sad...I was looking forward to testing this one and the drydown is lovely but...
What's with the dill overdose for the 1st 1/2 hour or so?
It ruins the whole thing for me! And once the pickle/salmon garnish disappears, so does the scent pretty much. I have to press my nose on my wrist to pick up anything. What I do get is like a middle eastern bazaar full of dense and intoxicating smells which is (as I've said before) lovely!
I'm hoping I got a bad sample so if I can find a mini reasonably priced I'll take another crack at it.

Update:
I guess the dill/pickle smell is supposed to be the saffron but swing and a miss as smells nothing like saffron to me.

Based on how this smells on me, I would not call this a gourmand. I have mixed feelings about this perfume. I like it. I will wear it. But I think it belongs on a man. It will never be a favorite.

I have a close friend from college whose mother is from Finland. They had a fabulous dry sauna in their house that was made of birch, a wonderfully fragrant wood. This scent brings me back to the days where we would spend an hour or two alternating between a burning hot sauna and a freezing cold shower. To be honest, this smells like a birch single note cologne.

I suppose that if pressed I could say that I smell black tea, amber, and clove. It's shockingly light for having such a spicy mix of notes, which is why it reminded me of the birch-scented air in the sauna. At first spritz, I thought it smelled like coconut water diluted with regular water, and I was soooo mad! But the drydown is much better.

Also, what white chocolate?

This is a delicious, cosy scent - the white chocolate and spices are simply beautiful. Looking at the notes here, I am surprised that I love it as much as I do because I normally do not like almonds or chocolate in perfumes. This, however, is greater than the sum of it parts. Highly recommended for grey rainy days curled up on the couch reading, or writing, perfume reviews.

While I had been anticipating to try this frag I was let down twice. First the bottle is shall we say different, & while it is appealing the container itself is plastic. It would have been better if it were glass. Second, I am VERY dissapointed with the longevity of this scent. While it is very nice, & the white chocolate is very smooth, it is somewhat spicy & a little floral. It should be an EDT! As this does not last more than 4 hours on me. Such a waste for a nice fragrance. This gets a neutral from me, more so on the negative side due to the lack of longevity given its suppose to be an EDP!

A unique, deliciously spicy perfume from Bvlgari. I love it! I have gotten compliments. It is not too spicy or overpowering strong, though it lasts for days.. on clothing at least. This is definitely one of my favorites now. Highly recommended for people who want a spicy perfume for autumn and winter especially for the holidays.

lots of oriental notes usually are embarrassing but they make this perfume adorable in an interesting way. this perfume is so wearable and suitable to everyday usage for an oriental perfume. it has heavy notes but it doesnt smell heavy,all notes were blended amazing together in Omnia,it is not fresh but it is a clean perfume. i can say it is my fave oriental perfume.

I honestly thought with these notes this would be just my cup of tea - Saffron! Ginger! Almond! Cinnamon!

Alas, mandarin, lotus and clove seem to be all I am getting here and they are vexatious, soapy and persistent.

I first tried this on federal election day, a compulsory 'democratic' obligation for us Australians ($250 fine!) and an event which inevitably brings me to verbal fisticuffs with the 'officals' they recruit for the day. I speculated my feelings for Omnia might have been clouded by such trauma but here I am again today.

This fiery brew is just all wrong for my already irritable temperment. Next to LouLou, this is one fragrance which sends my adrenals racing.

I do not say this lightly but I really do intensely dislike Omnia.

Ok, a few weeks after my bad review I have actually come to like this one.
This is a nice oriental, nicely blended, clever ingredients. Beautiful, warm and I really like it now.

The lasting power is still an issue though - the reason why I won`t buy another bottle when it runs out. I purchased it 2 months ago and I have already used up half of my bottle (40 ml). I have to spray it several times to be able to smell it on me. Very weak, watered down fragrance, more like an EDT I would say. Shame, because it is nice indeed.
I would recommend it for autumn use.

Usually I dont really like orientals. I do in theory, but in reality I find them to be to strong, or unpleasant. With some exeptions though. Omnia is one of them. It's a soft, beautiful oriental. Spicy and creamy without beeing overwealming. I get visions of India, beautiful temples in the jungle and sweet smelling scarfs of Bollywood dancers. Oh, an oriental perfume indeed!

I ordered it online without trying it - what a mistake! A huge disappointment.

I couldnt agree more with maru8862.

I thought i would love this scent based on the notes - it has everything i like, but the result is just very poor.

Smells very light, fresh, unoffensive, to me its not oriental at all.
Starts off smelling nothing but alcohol and then the tea and mandarin develops and dominates. No white chocolate on my skin at all. :(

The bottle looks cheap, not very attractive.

Lasting power is very poor, maybe a few hours.

I expected something so much better and spectacular from the well respected designer house of Bulgari.

They can do so much better. (Jasmin Noir)

Oh, how I love this! Back in 2003 when it appeared I couldn't really afford it, but as as soon as I could it became my all-time favourite. On me it smells like black tea with a little bit of spice. It's comforting, soft, warm and not offensive. It also blends well with cigarette smoke, which is important to me. It's a pity it's so difficult to find :(((

Maybe there are some fragrances similar to Omnia? Can you recomment me any?

Judging by the listed notes, this one should have been a masterpiece. Unfortunately for me it was a disappointment, and I'll try to explain why. Omnia does not smell bad, but to me it's like someone took all the wonderful ingredients, mixed them together, and then watered down the whole thing with a bucket of rainwater. This is the impression I get: watery, weak, power- and personalityless. The only note I an pick up clearly is the tea, no trace of chocolate, cinnamon, tonka or almond whatsoever Needless to say that sillage and longevity are below zero. Another minus: the thing comes out of the sprayer like a deluge! Whoever designed the atomizer might need to rethink the concept as soon as possible. Then again, this fragrance is really not worth the effort.

Hi.

OMNIA composition is very Soft,Delicate and Inoffensive.It makes feel Bright without being Loud for the Demure Lady.It is Modern in a Tender way. Creamy,Pleasant,Warm,Feminine,Light and Lovely.

The top notes bring an interesting blend of Ginger,Cardamom and Hot saffron.no doubt it is the best part for me.The Base notes feauture Soft and Modest.in my opinion this compositions ideal for The OFFICE and Then Intimate use.

Definitely this BVLGARI EDP is more of a daytime scent.Perfect for AUTUMN weather.The bottle is Stylish too.Anyway if you are Looking for a Convenient Price You are exactly at the right place!

Sillage?Average.

Logevity?it is a pity for me because not enough like other Versions specially Green Jade!

6.5/10

Really nice. Lasts quite well but is subtle. The mandarin is very prominent on my skin.

Easily worn by guys. A keeper.

Ahh. the Scent don't last on me which is quite unusual, it's already EDP concentration.
The way I spritz this on is nearly insane, which is too bad, I love the fragrance, Chocolate sweetness with sandalwood and spices. I really like how the woods lingers throughout the whole developement.

OH MY.... Why did I purchase such a small bottle this scent is HEAVENLY.

However its trail is somewhat disappointing. You need to be up close and personal or your body temp has to rise a few degrees in order for the scent to come out.

I guess that's what one would call an true 'intimate' scent.

Love this stuff!.very sexy and woody.

When I first picked up this bottle, I almost didn't spray it because upon first sniff of the bottle, all I could smell was powder. I decided to try it anyway because several people suggested it.

What a difference. It's sweet, very very sweet at first w a little pepper. That mellows quickly and the spices start to make their appearances. At this point the powdery note creeps back in and dominates then it goes back to the sweetness where it settles into a soft, subtle, unobtrusive light equally spicy/powdery/sweet scent.

As of this moment I'm not terribly impressed with it, I'm on the fence. It's very "safe" although a little too sweet but I am going to try it again when the weather is cooler to see how it has changed.

wow I love this fragrance. Creamy, gently spicy, feminine, floral and powdery in pretty not musty way.

Its an anytime, anywhere, any season scent for me and I'm so glad I discovered it albeit very late to the party. Reason I avoided all the Omnias was the ugly, cumbersome bottle, what a shame for such great fragrances. I also have the Green jade which is equally nice.

Ginger is not my favourite spice, but in this perfume it is as gentle as a summer breeze and mixes with the other notes in a very pleasant way. This perfume is so well balanced and well composed. Spicy, sweet and tart in just the right amount. I think that it is suitable for both winter and summer. You do not have to be afraid to overspray it though it is rather light. A wonderful fragrance and I love it!
Update! They have discontinued it! Grab a bottle while you can!

It's soapy, soft and opulent, the sandalwood can be smelt from its opening. If you're a woody notes lover while don't wanna yourself smell too mature, this is a good choice. Beautiful scent!

White chocolate for the skin. I rate this fragrance in my top ten, for sure.

Makes you feel you are seated in a luxurious comfortable plush warm opulent interior furnished with expensive leather and wooden antique furniture and a warm chocolate coloured ambience. Everything in the room with high ceiling is antique and expensive. Including the sweet old landlady adorned in white jewellery.

wow! all I was so excited about this perfume and was so close to purchasing it blind, and boy am I glad I never. I finally found this perfume @ sears when they were having a spring gala sale, and man does it stink. By looking at the notes above I was sure I would love this perfume no matter what. Not the case, this smells like Mr.Clean household cleaner mixed with heavy rubbing alcohol. I get no warm fuzzy
comforting smell whatsoever. Its a cold scent to me and nauseating. Had to wash it off in the sears bathroom. Man am I glad I didn't order this with the gift card my husband gave me to the perfume factory. Almost bought it blind. Because of this I will always test before buying. Its so weird how it can smell so opposite to what I was thinking it was going to be.

I've just sniffed Omnia today, and I absolutely fell in love with that. But I'm afraid about its lasting power, reading the opinions here. It really does not last long? Or it does but just on clothes? Please, somebody help me, because I want to buy it! :) Thanks

Bvlgari's Omnia is a decadent scent sinfully Prepared with white chocolate
wrapped with nutmeg with whipped cream
with cinnacon with chai floating distantly somewhere reminiscent of Tiramisu cake but the woody notes
show up on me then food scents
( I guess i can put some leaves in my cake hehehehehe)it has two different
sides to this story is it chocolaty?
is it woodsy? the battle of the senses
rages on until i can choose who'll win? my insticnt told me the woods are more
dominate then the chocolate and food notes but i't's a sensual fragrance
allmost smells simular to baiser du dragon but eathier.

I love this fragrance! I purchased it without trying it first, and JUST LOVE IT! It charms, entices and is subtle yet long lasting...it has a 3 dimensional character. It wore very well in hot temperatures in Cuba without wearing away. It is my favorite Bvlgari scent for women.

Love this so much. I think this perfume should be in the oriental woody catagory. Anyway what can I say about this amazing perfume. It feels like it was made for me. At first it smells a bit gourmand in the beginning, I get the chocolate,almond, ginger, and spices, and a creamy milky quality. Then the dry down takes me to the woody notes that totally ground this scent. All the gourmand notes are toned down by the woody musky dry down. Its a comfort fragrance, an everyday in any way fragrance. Very sexy in a tom girl kind of way.

This fragrance intrigues me...softly exotic, creamy, balanced, very wearable. My only criticism is the lack of staying power...it seems as soon as it "settles", it just disappears!! If I disliked it, this wouldn't be a problem, but I find I can't stop inhaling it once I've sprayed it. If Bulgari is content to produce such a worthwhile fragrance, it only makes sense that they would make it last!(smile) What a tease...

I sample this one at a cosmetic store. It's nice and soft, it smells woodsy in the dry down. Not sure if I like it cause it's very plain all you smell is wood, no flowers no fruit. The staying power is medium. This reminds me a little bit of Gucci Rush, but they are two very different fragrances.

There is something about this fragrance that makes me want to keep my bottle no matter how rarely I use it-It's silky, creamy, and spicy in a way that is light and delicate-complexity in modernity-and it seems like it would suit all kinds of people.
It just smells good!
It has been described as a politically correct Oriental, not compelling, too light, too fleeting-
Not for me. It's a paramount just enough scent-one of the few solid skin scents I know- chai tea with fresh whole milk and not too much honey melts into the skin-it's the new chai drink from the creative barista-a drink with more fluffy AND woody qualities on top of the usual delicious spiced comfort drink-your hands are warmed by the cup.
I love that I can wear this to work!
The lasting power is pretty poor-it lasts for no more time on my skin than yours-3 hours tops. Just stay moisturized, and spritz freely. This is a great scent for a parfumista! Wear it for a long lunch, so you can wear 3 perfumes that day instead of just 2! I have no complaints about Omnia, though I love it enough to almost want to complain about lasting power. It's strong enough for me-a considerate scent, rather than "politically correct".

For the first ten seconds or so, Bulgari OMNIA was bizarrely redolent of spumoni ice cream. I was sure there were maraschino cherries, because images of fruitcake were also coming to mind. Looking at the notes, I can only surmise that the saffron combined with the ginger, orange, cardamom and pepper created this olfactory illusion.

The opening of OMNIA is original, no argument there. Unfortunately, from the unexpected waft of spumoni, the fragrance evolves quickly to a peppery powdery drydown with nary a flower around. I'm not saying that every fragrance has to be a bouquet, but this one lacks both a resinous backbone and any substantial floral presence. So what I find, in the end, is a somewhat interesting but not all that appealing melange of spices with very poor staying power in the edp. I could probably use up an entire bottle in less than a week--that's how weak this is on my skin. OMNIA is pleasant enough, but not compelling...

It is a special scent, but nothing for me. The ginger is so overwhelming that it gives me a headache. I'm going to give this perfume a new home.

Omnia at first application smells alot like earl grey tea to me, the mandarin orange is subtle & very natural ,making this perfume very fresh, but not at all in the soapy way.
After a few minutes it moves into what it stays for the duration, a nice delicate tea scent with exotic spices joining the orange as it diffuses on my skin.
A whiff of creamy white chocolate settles in for good ,melding very nicely with the rest of the notes.
My only complaint is that it does not want to stay on my skin very long , it seems to disappear so soon, which is a shame because this is a very pleasant scent that is very wearable.
Maybe Omnia is more suited to be worn in warmer weather , perhaps it will be a little more noticeable when I wear it then.

Certainly, I love it. White chocolate, almond milk... every day. Its modern and delicious. Simply the best

cinnamon, ginger, wood, my favorite scent.. just like a candle scent , warm, not disturbing, ideal for office , ideal for every occation.. i want to shower with it:)

I like it a lot, but unfortunately it doesn´t last on me at all. I spray it on and it is gone after seconds, too bad. :(

The third time, a more liberal application, and perhaps cold weather were the charm...

The potent gingery peppery opening was again immediately noticeable, this time with the citrus overtones i smell when blending my own scents using pepper essential oil.

The other spices chimed in accord with each other, stimulating my nose like a spice shop, although i didn't smell saffron, a fragrance i adore.

The dry down was lovely, sandalwood and other woody scents softened by chocolatey undertones, enlivened with lingering spices.

It is truly unlike any other perfume i have tried, quite distinctive. It lacks traditional floral scents, and thankfully the banal fruity scents so commonplace today are absent.

I'm now planning to buy this. But i suspect i need to refrain from using it in warm weather, to avoid the medicinal/men's deodorant aura.

I got real sick of it after a very short time. Thank goodness I only had the small sample bottle!

My mom gave this perfume to me. I didn't like the spice smell. I always like something that smells fresh. It lasted long on skin and clothes. I gave this perfume back to my mom.

My first impressions of Omnia was that it was a lot lighter than I expected and probably not as rich and spicy as I had hoped.

However with that being said, I am not disappointed by this fragrance in the least. It's very unique and quite modern.

Although this is a predominantly foody fragrance with strong notes of coffee, chai, chocolate, spices and nuts, don't assume that this is a gourmand. Surprisingly Omnia tends to be quite woodsy and the lack of sweetness makes this scent quite masculine, especially in the opening.

Omnia is a rather dark fragrance and strangely sexy too, however it is not your typical sexy, it has more of a mysterious aura. I'm not usually a coffee lover, however in this fragrance the added spices make the scent somewhat exotic and unusual.

I can certainly see this fragrance adapting well to both men and women. It is unfortunate that they have discontinued this fragrance in my country because I feel that unique scents like these should be more readily available.

I must say that although I like this fragrance's subtlety, the lasting power did let me down. Perhaps layering this fragrance with a matching lotion would help with the longevity.

The colour of this pretty bottle is ideal to describe what the scent promises. Earth is brown, caramel is brown, woods are brown, many spices have a brownish colour. It's shape looks like the symbol of infinity from a specific optical perspective (omnia means "all"). I love it -in my opinion the bottle looks like a jewel. Omnia is distinct in the most flexible way. A combination of both "masculine" and "feminine" notes, which results to a scent of neutral sexuality when sprayed on a paper. That happens because Omnia "is waiting" for the wearer to contribute with his/her chemistry and give to the scent the edge that's needed. Yes, in my opinion it should be unisex. Personally when I wear this perfume I can sense chocolate and walnut notes, discreet spices and woods, and a mysterious subtle waterness which makes the scent transparent. Transparent but not invisible.The sillage is really good, and the lasting power excellent. I can secretly catch satisfying wiffs of this pretty nutty fragrance all day long!

Right off the bat I could smell something a bit fresh, like a light splash of orange & ginger...but it went away super fast! Taking its place, I get the delightfully comforting aroma of a slightly creamy tea! (I couldn't remember if that was a note in here, so I came to check, and yes...it is!) Then it changes, and I smell tea infused with a very little amount of ginger, & an even smaller abount of nutmeg, but I still wouldn't say that this is a spicy scent on me. It's mostly a warm, creamy, and comforting tea. I'm not sure if I smell the lotus or not, but I do smell something..."watery"?...in the background. The cinnamon starts to appear after several minutes, but just a very light dusting of it. Kind of makes it a little more powdery, if you will, and less drink-like. And then it changes again & turns into sandalwood and tea, though the tea remains dominant. It's as if I'm holding a warm cup of tea with milk & sugar and stirring it with a spoon carved out of sandalwood. Lovely. And it stays like this on me for quite some time. I'll update at the end of the day.

**UPDATE**
Unfortunately, the sample that I dabbed on didn't last for more than 2 hours. The sillage was great for an hour, but after that I had to keep sniffing my wrist in order to smell it. Perhaps a spray would be better, but from the looks of it, staying power isn't that great to begin with. Too bad! Still worth a sniff or two anyway though!

this has to be one if the most horrific fragrances i've smelt. probably the ginger but it is not fitting for me

A nice and sexy fragrance I would wear myself, as due to the spicyness it is indeed unisex. To me it is like a spicier and more full bodied version of Avon Surrender/Instinct for Him that I used to love. A gem from Bvlgari I would buy for myself and my girlfriend.

OMNIA is a lovely scent; but it’s a grower. I’d already decided what it was going to be like (I’d envisioned cookies and gingerbread men), so when it turned out to be different, I was initially disappointed. But I soon noticed how often I was reaching for it :)


OMNIA opens up clean, fresh and ‘cool’. The saffron stood out for me. Quite a masculine start.

After 10 minutes the scent begins to warm up, thanks to the clove and cinnamon. The different notes are all blended together really well, so none of them scream out.

I love the woody base. There is a slight sweetness thanks to the chocolate, but it really is a hint; if you’re looking for a chocolate based fragrance, OMNIA isn’t for you.


OMNIA’s staying power isn’t good, especially bearing in mind the price tag.

I’m not sure what I think about the bottle, it’s like modern art; striking, but not designed to be user friendly.

smelt this on a friend of mine, I think I was smelling the middle & base notes by then. The top notes are VERY overpowering, but once it settle its beautiful. My husband LOVES this fragrance, but then it has EVERY SINGLE one of his favourite smells in it.
Curry & spice and all things nice (esp white choc)

I gave Omnia a second chance. It behaved better this time, but it's still not love.

It persisted in having a strong bitter scent, the pepper i think, although this time i could smell the underlying spices and a certain creaminess, from the white chocolate, i guess.

I really want to like it, but it still has scents of the medicinal or insect repellent. It will be getting another test. Perhaps third time Omnia will finally charm me.

Lovely scent!

Another wonderful Bvlgari fragrance that has a permanent place in my rotation. This one gets me more compliments than Dior Homme and has great longevity. I recently wore this in a humid 96 degrees and it held up pretty well (2 days ago). The fragrance was still in the shirt when I tossed it into the washer this afternoon. This is a sleeper for the guys bold enough to try it.

I tested it recently. At first i really liked it. This has many notes i love, and they sound like they would blend well.

But as it developed it began to smell like something i absolutely detest: RightGuard deodorant, which is thoroughly vile and makes me slightly nauseated. I'd rather smell a human than that chemical poison.

So this was distressing. I love the components. Surely i was having a "bad fragrance" day. I will try it again, and hope to smell spices, coffee, and white chocolate. And NOT RightGuard (ugh).

I love this perfume but my only criticism would be that it seems to fade incredibly quickly.

A slow-burn love...this scent took a while to steal its way onto my "love" list but I urge testers to give this unique scent several days' wear before forming an opinion.

I love deep, rich scents & I was so tuned-in to testing these that I dismissed this quiet fragrance on first spritz. Luckily, I tried Omnia again, for a full day, & that is when I started to fall for its subtle, delicate warmth.

If you like ginger & creamy scents you will love Omnia. It is a very light perfume - a delicately-spiced creamy oriental. The ginger is neither sharp nor refreshing & remains as a subtle, warm note throughout, hand in hand with a light sprinkle of pepper & spice.

The chai-tea aspect is delightful - it is chai "light" & made with almond milk & very little sugar. It is hard to explain, but there is a thin, watery feel to Omnia (Lotus + saffron?) that keeps the fragrance light & translucent. I cannot detect the white chocolate but this is no loss. All the spices are applied with such a delicate touch (unlike ballsy, spicey Jungle Elephant) & it is this careful blend that makes Omnia so exquisite.

The dry down is pure heaven: smooth sandalwood & cinnamon with Omnia's signature thin, airy, creamy quality. It is a good all-round fragrance being at home in the heat or the cool, day or night, office or party....but it is not suitable for club-wear due to its fragile nature. If there was an "intense" version of this, I would buy it in a heartbeat.

A fragile, silky, creamy oriental that holds close to the skin & has a moderate lasting power & heaps of class. Another wardrobe staple for me - I can't believe I almost passed this gem of a scent by!

I've tried Omnia since I was in highschool(or middle?)when the crystalline and the other versions weren't in sale...And since then I just LOVE this perfume. I thought "omnia is a real businesswomans perfume, who's very self-confident and sexy by the same time!" (and I was then only 14-15!I haven't any idea what job I would get)...
I found the scent not as oriental, it's more a warm floral woodsy fragrance, and yes;it has a masculine side too. By the way I should say; I don't like ginger scent in perfumes and in I didn't detected any ginger in omnia(Thankfully!)
Nothing is changed until today in my opinion, I'm a real fan of this fragrance!...

I am one of those rare people who love the bottle for this; but then I usually gravitate towards the unusual; to me it is very artistic. I also adore this scent and have been a regular user for several years now. I don't get a whole lot of the cinnamon note, really just a warm and creamy musk sort of scent, sweet enough to be very feminine, but not girly. I consider this a "mid-range" oriental; heavy enough for the colder months, but easily worn in the warmer months if applied lightly. Staying power could be better, it lasts 4-5 hours on my skin, not too bad. I would LOVE to see this come out in an "Extreme" version!

Modern, elegant,lasts long

The first time I tried it, I though it was not my cup of tea,

Then I tried it in the summer and completely changed my attitude.

I wouln't clasify it as purely oriental
To me it smells woodsy, foody, AND a bit oriental

It is a delicate blend of smells that complement one another and develop in time in surprising ways; I believe it would smell equally well on men and women although it is not a definitely unisex scent.
Definitely young
Lasts all day on my skin.

love this fragrance.smells very good and warm on me but not for too long.it makes me feel powerful when i wear it

Very nice, but not spectacular. It lacks something of the richness of earlier Bvlgari scents. In the end, it does have a similar dry down to por Femme and Rose Essential, which is great if you love those scents and not so good if they turn into super sweetness as they do on my treacherous skin chemistry.

Omnia is so oriental.. the mandarin with the white chocolate and saffron ist very nice for me... needs some time to develop but then it is really nice... and it's special and not too strong...

This reminds me of some incense I use to burn called Santa Fe!
The smell makes me feel earthy, natural and think of the desert. :)
At first spray its like a clove cigarette with slight citrus in the background. It quickly changes to a spicy tea that reminds me of The Rouge but with more woods. The woodsy notes in this are perfect giving it a warm tobacco smokiness I love! The dry down reminds me of the sweet smoke from burning pine needles with a touch of tea, almond and chocolate. The ginger adds freshness from beginning to end keeping it from being to dry.
Its very sheer but has better lasting power than I first thought. The heat really brings this one out! I don't care for the bottle but the color really matches the smell.

this is spicy and light. i think it is almost a classic scent. it makes me feel powerful without being loud.

like drinking a cup of hot chocolate,this perfume will warm you up.it reminds me a voyage to latin america or passing by an old,calm coffee.
to me it smells like cacao,mixed with some cinnamon.it's very light,not spicy at all.very gourmand and yummy,without being over powered.
I like it very much.it's very nice & unique but unfortunately I didn't find it sexy at all.it's very light that I can hardly smell something.maybe I should try eau de parfum.

Very yummy light oriental with notes of tea and spices, and a bit of fruit and creamy notes (maybe the white chocolate?). Dries down pretty quickly and on hot days gets sour on me. I'd recommend it as a first oriental or gourmand for beginners, it's light and fresh and yet has the oriental tones. Sadly it's being discontinued :(

I have finally tried it! This is very floral on me. I'm picking up a lot of saffron. This is a classic scent and would be best worn out on the town. Pretty scent but not for me

I really wanted to like this but after seeing it in TK Maxx and opened I sprayed a bit and couldn't stop sneezing. Must be the peppery and spicy overkill! Not for me I'm afraid. The search continues.....

One of my favorites! When I first tried it I wasn't sure i I liked it or not. It smelled like crushed celery seeds and fresh cut wood or aromatic sawdust. I tried it again a few days later and LOVED it! Spicy, yummy, creamy and little bit of cedar or some fragrant wood. It has very good staying power. It's very nice to wear to work. Not offensive at all even if you put a lot off it on.

for me it's a bit powdery, it makes the scent 'short' and somehow hot. there's a constant warmth that it makes me think of when i smell it. i expected it to be more luxurious, but i wear it as a dayly perfume and it's ok.

The smell is special and delicious...ginger...white chocolate...yummy yummy.... I tried it in the store and couln't forget that scent...
It would be one of my favourites.Unfortunately, it doesn't last long.I think it's the shortest lasting of any perfume I've ever had.20 minutes later i can't smell it.I won't buy it anymore.

My all time favourite!
I smell the ginger and the woodsy notes,I use it with the body lotion, in this way it lasts all day long, it's like a light embrace, very comfortable scent.

Quite popular in my country but smells medicinal on me - sadly gave it away.

This is a funny one. It's immensely popular where I live so I wanted to find out what the rage was all about. Upon application I couldn't smell a thing. I literally had to press my nose on my wrist, only to smell faint citruses and spices. Then I forgot all about it.
Almost 3 hours later, totally unexpectedly I caught a whiff of lovely white chocolate and woods, which kept getting stronger and stronger. That phase was really nice and long-lasting. But where have the first 3 hours gone? The drydown may be lovely, but I'd never buy this. I expect a scent to be present all the way through.

I didn't like it that much.Dunno why.I agree the smell is nice,but something is missing.

So wonderful this is! I didn't expect much as the bottle wasn't my kind of thing, I tried it only because its Bvlgari.
And it turned to be soo good. Opens up with spicy cinnamon and settles down gourmand spicy. I love spicy fragrances and this was nice try, I'll try it again and then decide what to do with it :D

This wonderful perfume stays a long time and it isn't overpowering and loud. Very comfortable.
I don't like the bottle, in picture it is nice, in person - somehow too light and cheap.

Dear sweet white chocolate, where are you? Scrumptiously warming Masala tea, where you be? A few moments after this went on, I got a resounding scent of fig. Like what you might find in L'Artisan's Premier Figuier. It's not a bad thing, and I do get a touch of soft spices, but masala tea and white chocolate it is most definitely not. I thought it might be my freaky skin or the wrong perfume, but no, the bottle from whence the spray came was so named Omnia. I notice only another couple of reviewers found this fig note. The final drydown became a rather nice and warm figgy woody scent with a hint of sweetness upon my skin. I should say, I don't mind fig...it's just not what I was expecting!
May 2005 - Those above, were my original thoughts... Many months later and I’m trying again. The fig is still there, but the sillage…there’s most definitely a hint of white chocolate, and what I'm guessing is a tinge of dry masala tea with lots of soft spices. It's actually quite yummy...calming and soothing too. An hour later, the fig is back again with a hint of sugariness. Two hours later: Still nice, but the fig overrides the drydown. Overall, this is a silky, softly spicy scent which stays close to my skin. Not sure I would buy it, but I enjoyed my sample.

Beautiful and soft comfortable fragrance on me. I love wearing it to work in the winter. Good staying power and stays close to my skin.

This is one of the few perfumes I've smelled that I can detect most, if not all, of its listed notes. And the dry-down? If white chocolate were powder...that's what it would smell like! :)

I got this in a perfume swap in the Croatian section of this site. I'd smelled it before, but the tester must have been off and I wasn't too impressed. Since then I've realized that a lot of scents created by Alberto Morillas suit me, including the other Omnias.
It's the most amazing blend of aromatic woods! It seems some people can't smell it on themselves. I'm one of the lucky others. I don't get any sweet notes from it, just woods. That makes it suitable for the whole year with me. It is very distinctive but also rather low-key. The way it smells on me, it could pass for a men's scent.
I'm most impressed this time around!

I'm wearing this right now and I just can't stop sniffing my wrist. I love it. The beginning is fresh cut ginger root and citrus but the heart is gingersnaps sitting a a fresh sawed plank of maple hardwood. It's a spicy sheer, dry and woody and warm and not too sweet.

Strangely, I didn't get any of the wonderful, unusual notes. It smelled nice, but dried down so quickly to the usual Bvlgari sweet sugary rose base that I missed anything unique.

I was looking forward to the white chocolate but couldn't detect it. About ten hours after applying, this smelled delicious. Before then, it smelled very soapy on me.

Wow...very different fragrance indeed! In the beginning it´s very spicy and strong but after a while the spiciness settles a bit and it becomes more sweet. It´s a really nice sweet tone not at all overpowering...might be the white chocolate that gives me a visit. Then after two hours when I think I know the scent,the cinnamon comes crawling back and it´s now that I find Omnia being really interesting.
Omnia is mysterious, luxuriuos and intriguing...this is a real must have!!

Although it is not one f my favorites, it has a high quality and definitely different than the other simple perfumes in the market, I guess this is because of being a Bvlgari scent.. Nice composition, long lasting, great choice if you like spicy and sweet scents.. can easily detect chocolate and cinnamon, but perfume is not sickly sweet..

this one and the omnia crystalline are amongs the best Bvlgari perfumes.

very nice, luxurious, feminine, sexy scent...

Yummy! My friend wears this and it smells wonderful. I also have a little tester of it and I like to wear it to. Its a warm and wonderful "eatable" scent. I think the smell is pretty close up to fig scents, but not quite.

I dont know what happens but for so many parfums i tested today this one just capture my attention. I LOVE IT soooo much!!! This will be my next parfum for sure. After hours is just perfect, not too sweet, not too fresh either and very feminine. :0)

I like this one a LOT better than the Habit Rouge I tried today. At first, the alcohol was sharp and that was all I could smell. But a few minutes later it was all CEDAR and cardamom. I don't smell "white chocolate." Just lots and lots of cedar and spices (cardamom, cinnamon, and maybe citrus).

Pale and boring. Nothing oriental, rich or expensive about it. At first I can only smell acohol and after a few minutes I detected white chocolate. And, yes, it smells a little bit soapy, not sweet or feminine at all. Only boring.

Wow! This is one was a big surprise:)The white chocolate is melting into my skin. A completely yummy and fresh type of perfume. Well balanced.

It smells very nice, modrn and very nice, one of the best...

It's a very great fragrance! Special and delicious, maybe because of the ginger, white chocolate and cardamom.

A modern scent. Not my favorite. Maybe is the ginger?
