Onice Omnia Profumo for women

The fennel is all i can smell at the beginning, and call me fickle but i can't even be bothered waiting it out with this. I think its horrid for a perfume and not what i'd even consider perfume. once it dries down the other notes come out and i smell a spcied woody warm smell.

Omnia Profumo ONICE opens with a very strong anise/fennel personality. I believe that it's actually fennel, because there is a slight scent of celery as well. From there, the composition smooths out quite a bit, retaining only the lingering aura of licorice as the other aromatic and oriental notes emerge.

I would not say, however, that ONICE has much of a floral facet to it. Instead, this creation has more of an aromatic complexion, what with the citrus, lavender, licorice, nutmeg, and woods, which make it pretty difficult to tease out the flowers allegedly present. (I am aware that lavender is officially a flower, but in a mix such as this it really hits me as more aromatic than floral.) The notes here are stacked slightly to the masculine side, although I do agree that, all things considered, this is a unisex creation.

This is a pleasing composition, but not one which I feel compelled to acquire. Anise/fennel lovers will surely want to give ONICE a try, but those who shun that note will be better off with one of the other Omnia Profumo creations, all of which are very natural, with great longevity and good sillage. They are also quite reasonably priced, relative to many other niche offerings, particularly in view of the concentration and lasting power.
