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 :)

What a coincidence Martaynd - I just ordered two bottles of the EDT a few days ago: one for me and the other as a birthday present for my DD! We both fell in love with the scent after receiving a sample in the mail. I did try the EDP too and was deliberating between that and the EDT. I found that while the EDP is longer lasting, the silage is somewhat weaker and the drydown was a bit too spicy on me.

I might be tempted to purchase this instead once I run out of the EDT. It's very much like the EDT but without the fresh top notes and with a little more projection and staying power. This skips the bamboo and heads straight for musky, woody sweetness. My favorite part. It doesn't have a split personality like the EDT. But then again, that's part of the EDT's charm. Understated and lovely.

I love, love, love this scent! It's so pretty! The florals stand out when I wear this and I get a little bit of the woody notes as well. It has great staying power. This fragrance is feminine and innocent but is also has some sensuality to it. I think it should either be my signature fragrance or my fragrance for my wedding day if I ever get married. Expensive, but so worth it!

PS Another plus to OC's credit, whether you use the EDT or EDP, it is a timeless fragrance. It does not evoke memories of place or time, but rather stirs feelings and emotions, in both the wearer and the smeller. Both mother and daughter can share the fragrance and both would be pleased and have distinctly different experiences with it.

I've enjoyed this perfume throughout its entire journey, through its ethereal top notes of lotus and sweet mandarin, through the vanilla-like heliotrope and earthy iris at the heart, and now, almost 9 hours after I first applied it, as a beautiful, nostalgic skin scent reminiscent of MAC lipstick or Coty Airspun Loose Powder.

This was my husband's birthday gift 2 years ago. I love this scent! Super pretty, calm, powdery. Sillage is fantastic! This is the perfume that make the most people ask me what Im wearing. Its love! Ill repurchase it in a heartbeat! Side Note: I have the EDT too and handsdown,this EDP is way way better for me.

One of my best purchases this year!!....I took a shower last night at 9 pm woke up at 8 am to the most amazing warm powdery musky scent...longevity is a winner and I'm getting lots of compliments..even per my teen I smell really pretty...worth every penny and such a stunning bottle..smells expensve

AbAbsolutely lovely!!! Like the beautiful, fresh ,unpretentious but classy EDT but with a more sweet and femenine Jasmin note. A universally appealing scent. Great projection too, lasts long and it has that supreme elegant powdery base that I adore in all the Bulgari perfumes.

Hi CookieGirl! Congrats on your purchase. I plan to stock up on the EDP for fear that at some point they will change the current formula snd it won't be what it is now. (You know how the Industry can do that, right?) Don't ever want to be without this one!!

Spent a whole half hour in airport testing many - this was far the most beautiful fragrance, floral but not sickly and the mid notes of warmth are just wonderful. It has great longevity and Im just delighted. My husband loves it also !!

All I can say is: I.WANT.THIS! <3 the original Crystalline is one of my top favorites and it smells wonderful on me (has given me loads of compliments). If this EdP does the same (have only smelt the bottle yet), I know I need it.

My favorite perfume idk why they stopped selling it I ordered this from Bvlgari site and they sent me the wrong one the Omnia one i didn’t like it.

For me, this one is elegant and feminine. In my oppinion it's appropriate for a sophisticated and dignified women with a romantic vibe. Beautiful!

I got a sample vial from Sephora. very nice and warm. I love balsamic. good longevity too. buy? YES

I perceive plenty of lavender and musk. The fragrance is quite unique, I like it.

Such a stunning fragrance. So light, fresh and crisp. I just love it so much!!

Couldn't decide between the EDT or EDP version, so I purchased samples of each. Based on the reviews I knew the notes were very different for each. I must admit they are both very nice. I had been searching for a lotus-based scent, and enjoyed testing them out. However I prefer the EDT over the EDP. The EDP, is powdery and sweet. The type of sweet I don't normally like. The sweetness is flowery, not sugary, similar to that of honey or vanilla. So it isn't unbearable sweet (just too sweet for me). This probably originates from the benzoin and orris root. The EDP opening lacks the initial alcohol blast found in the EDT. There are also lotus and sandalwood notes, and the heliotrope is there as well. It's not just a pure lotus fragrance like the EDT. A slight greenness emanates from the EDP fragrance but nowhere near as green as the EDT. It reminds me of the leaves of a fresh cut flower, while the EDT is a powerful green aroma (due to the bamboo and green tea notes). I couldn't detect a citrus note at all. The scent doesn't transition much, only softens to a gentle powdery floral musk. The EDP smells nice but I am glad that I sampled both formulations. I tend to lean toward parfums, but this time I really like the aquatic EDT. In comparison, the initial spray of the EDT is off-putting. There is a strong alcohol scent that disappears within a few seconds. After that initial blast, the wonderful watery notes emerge. I caught a powerful lotus note mixed with wet greenery. The pear is noticeable as well. There is no powder, spice, or sweetness. Only an aquatic lotus musk. Very smooth. The woody green notes really emerge upon drydown. Bamboo and green tea are prominent. The lotus and pear notes still linger and the musk softens a little bit. While I applied both at the same time (one per wrist), the EDP is much stronger after about 30 minutes of wear. The EDT has settled and is not so prominent. Though they both would be appropriate for daily office use. Neither one are overpowering. They are both light floral scents. A far cry from a typical Chanel or Dior fragrance (which isn't a bad thing). The EDP is dry, powdery, sweet, flowery, musky, with a faint leaf note. I prefer the EDT. Marine, lotusy, very green, musky, and a touch of sparkling pear.

Very weak. I also suspect the sealed bottle I got has gone alittle bad maybe? ...or its the sandalwood not getting along with the other notes, sometimes sandalwood gives me a stale pencil shavings smell, it doesnt work well on me unless its very discreet in a perfume. Compared to the EDT which is green, cold and a tea perfume (I loooove tea note, along the lines of Eclat D'Arpete a tea perfume and Light Blue DG with its bamboo note), this instead has a subtle powdery sweetness. I love the drydown just wish it was more intense. I like wearing both so when I get the fresh aquatic earthy feeling of the EDT, I get reminded of the contrasting woody sweetness of the L'Eau de Parfum. I used to loooove Alien Eau Extraordinaire for its musky unusual character and this one is somewhat reminiscent of it in the opening and first minutes, just not as sharp and citrusy. It is still slightly sharp to my nose at first and it must be the Oris Root, heliotrope and organge (heliotrope, musk, sandalwood, orange common notes). As they settle they become more mellow because the benzoin adds that beautiful resin-sweet twist. Its not a must buy and maybe I shouldnt have spent the money, but I wore it today and it kept me really good company, other times it reminded me of my old love Alien Eau Extraordinaire, and other times having its own identity. Sillage wasnt too bad, I just wanted it to be more intense. Reminds me strongly of a more woody sandalwood-heavy KKW Sand and the pencil shavings element here is strong on me, kinda like in Sensuous Nude which reminds me of this (mandarin, sandalwood, heliotrope in both and heliotrope is usually powdery or dusty, it's kinda like both here. Heliotrope in perfumes on my skin makes me think that the perfume has gone stale haha. Regardless I do like this one, it's kinda melancholy, alittle earthy, woody and romantic.

It took me almost a year to finally buy this gem. It took me 2 months to fully fall in love with the EDT last summer. I tested the EDP frequently, had a little fling, but it's never gotten serious between us. Then, it hit me. The cloud of warm, powdery, glittery fairy dust. I fell in love - each time I wear it I feel as happy as a kid who's got the access to a never-ending supply of cotton candy. Adult cotton candy - as it's not sweet. Fluffy, white, inviting. It's like Laduree in the world of cheap, tacky sweets. It's for picky eaters who have tasted Michellin Star rated desserts and expect more than just sugar. It lasts and lasts on me, 7hrs +. Heliotrope is incredibly prominent for most of that time, however the drydown is to DIE for. If you like the EDT, slightly powdery. musky, soapy scents and decadent desserts - you will like this too.

A paradox. Never smelled something so apparently delicate yet deadly sharp at the same time. My nose can ́t pick a note from another, it ́s just a wholesome, distinctive blend that I would recognize anywhere. If you need something strong but clean-feeling at the same time, this is worth checking. This is a staple for the humid heath of italian summers, where every other scent feels either inconsistent or sickening. Not my favourite on normal conditions, but quite useful if you have a long day before you and you need something that you can trust. I usually prefer my average citrusy florals, maybe not as unique but less aggressive. On me, it lasts for all day long and has a remarkable sillage.

This is a lovely soft skin scent which lasts for a touch over five hours. It opens with a lovely burst of lotus and mandarin, which dominate for the first hour or two. The fragrance as a whole is feminine and soft and gentle throughout. I don't really smell the heart notes in any significant way but there is a gentle sandalwood and musk in the base and perhaps a tiny hint of heliotrope. I'd say this is a very nicely blended perfume. It's sweet. There's a touch of Guerlain's L'Instant Magique in the overall vibe, but lighter. I'd say you could wear this any season but it feels more like a day perfume than a night one. Crystalline edp is a calming and pleasant fragrance.

When I fist sprayed this one on, I thought it was in no way shape or form similar to de Toilette version, and it was not. This one is more flowey and kinda creamy. However after a couple of hours I get the similarity. The toilette on me is very green and woody and this one smells like the drydown of the toilette. It is quite fresh, woody and a bit less green. Probably the similarities are also in the musk. Over all i prefer the toilette, but I would actually wear this one, but, since I already have the other I don't feel like I need this too. As far as sillage goes I don't think it is that much better than the toilette. And its lasting for about 7 hours.

This is lovely. Its nothing really standout or different but its just very nice & makes you feel beautiful when you smell in on yourself. I dont get the comments that say this is sensual or sexy.I think this would make this list of scents you could wear to meet parents of a partner, meaning its so not sensual at all. Its Classy tho. Its a scent built for a hot summer day since its a skin scent & wont become over powering. Its an office or wedding scent. Just a lovely inoffensive scent. I wont rebuy it but will use it all. I dont usually enjoy skin scents. I did order my mom a bottle as soon as I put it on. Its def something she will love.

I love the citrus opening, so soft and not sharp. That citrus sticks around throughout the wear. A beautiful lightly balsamic fragrance, that's slightly soapy to my nose. That's what gives it that clean feeling. Will be great in warmer weather since it's not overwhelming though it does project. Longevity is pretty good too. The only thing I don't understand is why I smell jasmine since that is not a listed note? Either my nose is off or the combination of ingredients is creating that effect for me. It's almost giving me a little Alien vibe though nothing near that intensive. I couldn't handle that but I really like this.

I decided to test four Bvlgari summer fragrances for women and Omnia Crystalline can be summarised in- the dry down is everything. I don't agree with the previous reviewer that this is all but powder power, no, there is powdriness to the dry down, but that is not all- it is a cashmeran like softly powdery dry down of heliotrope, musk and orris, but the lotus note keeps everything fresh and light, and mandarin gives it that summer worthy citric kick. When you put it all together, what you are left with is a simple, elegant summer fragrance that bears the DNA of the house of Bvlgari. A like for the books.

It's powdery all right, I can almost smell nothing else but powder. The initial blast smells very generic and 'perfumery' and reminds me of tons of different perfumes but that phase only last for a few seconds it seems. After that it's just nothing but powder. It's clean, soft and calming. I wish it had more character than just the powder over powder though. I expected it to be more cold and fresh and transparent, like a crystal. Somebody said it smells like a snowflake but I disagree. Or was that in the EDT version's review? I think it might have been. Well, I need to test that one next.

Soo different from the Eau de toilette version this is a fruity/powdery/woody floral /with an alchohol like drydown to where as the the Eau de toilette is a very fresh citrus/floral/woody dry down (which I absolutely love) I have mixed feelings about this one becaus It seems a little bit mature for my 21 year old self I could see a classy woman in her 50's wearing easily wearing this. A little bit too harsh in the drydown for me though I really do like the smell when it is first sprayed powdery/fruity but the dry down I do not like too much overall making the fragrance okay.

To my nose Crystalline EDP is warmer and more full-bodied version compared to EDT. It is still very crisp and fresh with sexy musky notes. It does have good lasting power and moderate sillage but it is a very office-friendly and non-offensive at the same time. Even my husband told me I smelled nice while I was wearing it...he only truly likes a small selection of my perfumes...normally it is either "I can't smell anything" or "Your perfume is very strong"

It is quite powdery, but after a while it develops into truly charming, comforting, elegant, highly sophisticated scent. It has the same silky vibe as some of Chloe scents. Moreover, I can smell yummy mandarin... I think that wearing this scent means a lot of pleasure! However, it is quite soft so I can recommend it to people who like subtle perfume. Update: True powdery vibe. Try it if you love powdery scents. For me it is just a bit too... powdery.

Omnia Crystalline Eau de Parfum by Bvlgari is the fragrance equivalent of a snow white cashmere sweater. This is clean, cozy comfort in a bottle! Heliotrope always smelled like a spicy floral to me and mixes well with this clean fluffy musk. As it mellows the lotus pulls through sweetened by the benzoin with the undeniable smells of sandalwood at the base. I always receive compliments when I wear this!
