Omnia Crystalline by Bvlgari

In today’s review, I am going to be covering a popular ladies’ fragrance by Bvlgari, Omnia Crystalline. I’ve had a sample vial of this for a few months now, so I figured that it was about time that I try it out and report back with how it smells, performs, etc. As usual, I’m going to cover my impressions and it longevity and whether or not I think that it is worth picking up a bottle.

My Full Wear Review

The opening of Omnia Crystalline is a rather interesting and somewhat unique experience, at least when compared to other popular perfumes. It’s light, clean, and has a bit of a soapy quality to it but with a distinctly Asian influence.

Lotus, tea, and a pear-like smell (provided by the nashi fruit) are the main attractions here, which gives this Bvlgari perfume a floral-plant type of outdoorsy scent.

Omnia Crystalline is quite a feminine fragrance and doesn’t seem to include anything that could be considered heavy or overwhelming, which should make this one a good choice for the warmer months of the year.

The tea note really reminds me of a men’s cologne that I cannot quite recall the name of (maybe by Roberto Cavalli?), it’s really distinct and green, in it’s aroma. I also detect a hint of Alien Aqua Chic in this composition.

However, the major player here is the lotus note…so, if you’re not a fan, look for another perfume. It does have a different feel than the usual rose, iris, violet notes that are so often found in other ladies’ fragrances.

There is a slight musk which gives it some warmth and body. The dry down is woody and green, with some remaining fruit sweetness, but mostly that lotus flower as the focus of it all. Bamboo and a bit of moss coming through.

Sillage, Longevity, and Versatility

Projection wise, it’s a light fragrance but does a pretty good job at projecting itself. You will know that it’s there while wearing; but it isn’t going to choke anyone out. A few feet away from the skin, is what I got for most of the wears during testing.

It’s not one to leave a huge scent trail or fill a room. But, while it’s got its power, it will be picked up by those around you.

The longevity is meh, but usable. 4-5 hours seems to be the norm, maybe 6 under the right conditions. This is by no means a powerhouse or a workhorse, which means you should probably get it at a good price and not at retail.

I’d save this one strictly for the spring/summer months, as a casual scent for a day out or the office. I don’t find it to be particularly sexy or something that would scream attention to itself, rather, it is a clean and simple scent that smells good in a low key way.

It’s a good no-brainer daily wear that isn’t going to offend. Omnia Crystalline can easily be a go to during the warmer months for the right lady.

Overall Impressions of Omnia Crystalline

Overall, would I recommend Omnia Crystalline? I mean, I like it well enough. It isn’t an amazing perfume by any means but it will get the job done for what it is. If you like the listed notes and need a good casual scent, then this might be right up your alley.

However, if you want a bold type of fragrance, then it’s best to look elsewhere for something with that kind of quality.

The opening act with the fruit, bamboo, and lotus is actually very nice. The tea note, is the one that tends to stand out and delivers a nice experience while its around. The dry down is fine. Not something I’m completely enthralled by, but it’s likeable.

It’s a very straightforward, elegant, crisp, and pleasing scent. No more no less. It would be a lot better, if the strength was boosted up some more. Still useful, just not incredible.
