Omnia Crystalline Eau de Parfum

Wow, how exciting- Bulgari just relaunched this, in the new redesigned Omnia bottle! I thought I was hallucinating when I saw it in the store today. This new version of the EDP is lovely. To be honest, I don't really remember how the 2013 version smelled when I was trying to decide between the EDP and the EDT of Crystallline ten years ago. I went with the EDT and for years have been kicking myself for not having purchased the EDP version too, when it was still available, because I really liked it too. This newly released version of the EDP strongly recalls Crystalline EDT but it's creamier and heavier on the sandalwood and more powdery. The only fly in the ointment is that it seems a bit faint. I'm hoping that it's because it's a brand new bottle which should get stronger with time. I'm going to wait a bit both for the price to come down and for the scent to age a bit and hopefully purchase some time in the not too distant future. Good for Bulgari for restoring a well-loved scent. I hope other companies get the hint and follow suit. Edit - adding that I just realized that my very first review on Fragrantica, nearly 10 years ago, was for this scent:). Edit#2 - 3/25 - just purchased a 50 ml. Happily, I had a gift coupon for a site that was offering it a good sale price. I'm very excited to wear this and to finally add the Crystalline EDP to my Omnia collection!

I have owned this now for about a month. I have been a long time fan of the EDT for years. The EDP is 1 notch better. The EDT has been my go to bed scent for years. Anytime of the year. Both are great. EDP is stronger, more readily available to the nose than the EDT. Both are calming, soothing, soft, fresh, feminine fragrances. My hubby finds it appealing and the scent encourages snuggling, to breathe it in. That's a plus! EDP will be a staple in my perfume wardrobe. I like that the EDP has more presence and it makes a great transition to an every day "day time" scent, which I could never do with the EDT, because it was more faint. Since I have both, I think I'll use the EDT as one to layer with a different fragrance to give it another dimension/facet. BTW: I also have owned Kenzo Flower for years. IMHO, Flower is heavier and has more spice than this one. To my nose they are very different, although I can see where some noses find the similarities in the dry down. I would say OC EDP is the very nice, clean, unadulterated little sister of Flower Kenzo, the big sister who has had some worldly experience. OC = Church, weddings, business, day time and then skip night time straight to bed time. FK = Day time statement, night time party and date time. You want to 'whisper': OC. You want to 'shout': FK. Both are great.

I've read elsewhere too what someone mentioned here: that it's similar to L'Instant Magic by Guerlain. That was my signature scent for a long while, but after that it suddenly became too heavy and powdery for me. If this is a lighter alternative, I would be really happy. I have (and love) Onnia Green Jade and Omnia Coral from the series, and both share some middle and base notes that are similar to the Guerlain fragrance. May this one be even more reminiscent? Anyway, I'll have to try it in a few days (on skin, of course), when I have a chance, and decide myself. UPDATE: At first, after trying on skin and clothes a few times, I didn't find this anything particular. But since I adore Green Jade and Coral, and this one is quite similar but much stronger and more long-lasting, I bought it, and don't regret it! It is a perfect and safe all-occasion perfume to replace of my former signature, its powdery qualities are much softer, the citrus is much more emphasized. Easy to love, but not ordinary, rather extremely sophisticated, even if it lacks extravagance.

GENTLE & CALM. This has been my signature for a couple of months now, and probably for years to come. I wear it at least once a week. Omnia Crystalline is so versatile that I can wear it any time, for any occasion, and it never feels out of place. I have the EDT and love it also. The EDT I wear often on hot, humid days, because it's fresher and cooler. The EDP is more feminine, warmer and cozier. Crystalline is a year round fragrance, as a skin scent should be. When I wear it, I don't feel like I'm wearing perfume, it just feels like I emanate loveliness! Perhaps it's the benzoin & musk, that are so calming and soothing to me. Heliotrope too. Crystalline EDP is a little powdery, a little fresh, a little sweet, and a little warm. It is not too much of anything, and that's why it's perfect for me. It does seem to smell different depending on my skin that day, sometimes its more spicy & woody, and other times more musky & sweet. It never gets overly powdery though, always gentle.

I don't even know where to start. There is no way one can imagine how characteristic this scent is only by looking at the listed notes. There are 7 notes, but i can smell way more than those. I have omnia amethyste, coral and indian garnet. I have worn amethyste since its launch in 2006, and coral is my signature scent. I know a lot about the omnia family, and this scent is not comparable to any of them, especially the crystalline EDT. This is not a fresh scent. This is not even as woody. I can understand that the delusion of this being a fresh woody scent comes from its precedent AND its name; and i would definitely release this as a new fragrance with the name "pearl" or something similar. This is a warm, spicy, creamy and a veeery luxurious scent which would make you feel like wearing your satin dressing gown after a nice, long bubble bath, skin creamed up, eating vanilla-cinnamon cookies in a very expensive hotel suite. Love it!

I adore the original Omnia and like Omnia Crystalline EDT. The EDP falls somewhere in the middle for me. It may actually have more in common with the original Omnia with its warm, woody base (I get a lot of sandalwood in the dry down, which I love). Unlike the EDT, this doesn't have the same nashi pear/citrus opening and cool ethereality. Instead, it's more powdery, floral, and generally warmer than the EDT. Others have described it as romantic. To me, the iris note lends it a certain melancholy--so romantic, yes, but in the sense of longing. It hardly projects at all, but it's quite tenacious, lingering beautifully on clothes and scarves. The more I wear it, the more entranced I become.

This has been my "go-to" daytime scent for a couple of years now. Strong florals tend to smell bad on me, but the sandalwood/vanilla in this scent work very well together. I confess to loving the original Angel scent, but rarely wear it as it's so strong. I tend to worry about overdosing on a strong scent, and Omnia Crystalline delivers in a noticeable but not overpowering way. It needs a refresh after about five hours, which is acceptable mileage for me. Another thing I've noticed: I get more compliments from men when wearing this than with other scents, except for the original 1947 Miss Dior (another favorite, but I'm not sure I can buy this in its original form anymore).

I can't say that I've ever smelled Siam benzoin prior to smelling this, but it is absolutely lovely. It's a little sweet and creamy, but still has a fresh, almost spicy quality about it. The lotus and musk surrounding it create an absolutely gorgeous aroma. If you have smelled the EDT version, this one is less sharp, it's deeper, a little sweeter, and soapier. It still has that fresh quality, it's just creamier and rounder, which I believe is a result of the benzoin. It has a clean soapy vibe going, but in a really good way. I really enjoy the Omnia line; they all have a certain similarity, but are beautifully unique in their own ways.

Six year update: Omnia Crystalline EDP is still in my rotation and I still love it as much as I did when I first started wearing it. Usually I get bored of a fragrance or some note starts to annoy...but no I've worn this for awhile and I probably like it even better as life goes on...its a comforting warm hug of a lovely and kind but down to earth woman. I steer to calm soft scents and this and narciso poudree just work for me the best. Even though it is a different scent, I still love the EDT version too for hot weather. I should’ve known it would get discontinued since I have such a hard time finding scents I can wear, ugh.

I love this one. I didn't expect to love this perfume either. It is so feminine and pretty. I think that all the notes are very well combined and it smells like a sweet, floral, musky scent. I wore this to school the other day and I would catch a whiff of it every now and then and think "Ooh what's that smell..oh that's me!" If you know DKNY Pure, this smells kind of similar to that (at least to me it does). If you like DKNY then I think you would like this one. I spray this on my blankets on my bed. It smells that good to me. I would definitely recommend giving this a try if you are looking for an every day kind of perfume.

I love both of the Crystallines but this edp can be appropriate for more seasons. It's powdery a cozy, which I find comforting in the winter months. It's also floral for spring and I reach for it in the summer months when I feel the need to be wrapped in a tranquil powder. The tranquility comes from the lotus which is beautifully blended with the heliotrope. Stronger & longer lasting than the edt, which I also love. My skin gets a good longlasting trail of 6-8 hours. Even longer on my hair & clothes. My spouse compliments me everytime I wear this. I feel I can nevergo wrong when I decide to wear this. It's just beautiful.

I don't know the Eau de Toilette version (unfortunately) to compare, but I received a sample of the Eau de Parfum version. It is a soft floral, delicate and feminine, lotus flower and root of the iris are highlighted, along with sandalwood and a light touch of musk. Moreover, the notes were very well built, in a perfect manner, as the best goldsmith who works hard in a jewel of great value. It is the scent of a woman whose beauty, elegance and finesse enchant everyone. I could imagine Grace Kelly wearing Omnia Crystalline EDP :) Wearing Omnia Crystalline you feel like a true lady of royalty, a symbol of elegance.

Subtle, great all around scent. I think this would work well all year round. The lotus adds that nice cooling touch, which can be refreshing in spring and summer. When paired with the warm cashmere powder that cool nip can also blend seamlessly into a fall or winters day. Office safe, great one to reach for when you don’t know what to wear, I’m always so pleasantly surprised at how enjoyable this uber classy one is. It’s clean in a refreshing and comforting way. The powder + woods gives a “dry” impression like that person with nerves of steel who never seems to sweat and is always perfectly coifed and serene.

This perfume has quickly become a love for me. First spray is fresh, warm, and somewhat airy. After a while it settles into woody, musky sweetness which I find similar to the EDT version. The difference, however, is that this fragrance literally lasts all day on my skin. I sprayed it at 8:00 this morning and can easily smell it on my wrist as I write this at 10:30 PM. Silllage is moderate - enough to be noticed, but very safe for work. I find this fragrance to be extremely versatile - it works in all seasons, and is great for daytime use or a date night. Highly recommend!

I really like this perfume and if I were inclined to being monogamous with my fragrance, I might consider this as my SS. It is a lighter sandalwood perfume and I enjoy wearing it as it reminds me of an old favorite (obsession) but lighter all around. And for me, a little more wearable for day. It is feminine and I agree with some other reviewers, I see little to no resemblance to Omnia Crystalline EDT. This EDP is a little more rawwr! but in a subtle, sexy way. I really like it but you would have to like sandalwood imho.

This perfume does smell very much like the original omnia esp in the drydown . However, the original omnia is more bitter with more clarity with a bit of sourness. I feels the original is more interesting and has more character. The original also last longer too with better sillage. So I like the original omnia more. But without the comparison of the original omnia, the omnia is a fine perfume, powderly, warm, a bit bitter sweet, quite woody. Good for cooler weather or rainy day!

Penso che sia un profumo di classe, molto delicato e un po' polveroso. Adatto a tutte le età. Di solito i fioriti non mi piacciono ma in questo profumo le note di fiori, le note muschiate e il benzoino sono ben equilibrate! Ne scaturisce un profumo delicatamente fiorito, con una punta dolce e con una spolverata di muschi.. Concludendo, si tratta di un profumo estremamente femminile e romantico, di buona persistenza. Annusandolo mette di buon umore!

Extreme simplicity, good taste, minimalist aesthetic sense. Omnia Crystalline EDP touches the skin gracefully, speaking like this. In essence it perfectly reflects what I imagined to be a fragrance called in this way. Liquid purity of top notes I never tire of inhaling, sensual appearance of musky drydown. This sample will be my personal and private suggestion to an even more essential lifestyle, waiting for a (worthy) full bottle. Awesome.

I own and love the EDT and tested this EDP head to head. It is indeed quite different. The EDT has a sharper citrus blast and a more refreshing character with the bamboo. The EDP is sweeter, a bit more powdery and more noticeably musky. In fact the musky drydown is more like Bvlgari Au The Rouge, another favorite of mine from this house. I like this one as well, not surprised as I seem to have an affinity for Bvlgari!

I have both Crystalline EDP and EDT. Strangely, the EDT has a longer staying power than the EDP (for me). There's a difference of several hours. The scent is sweet and warm, more woody/powdery than the EDT - which comes off more green/fruity. I love heliotrope but I cannot detect it here, something wrong with my nose? Anyway, I hope Morillas never stops creating fragrances, he seems to know what I like :)
