Omnia Golden Citrine

I have a sample of Omnia Golden Citrine and really like it! It's not listed but I get a mimosa note in this – floral, yellow, and fuzzy. I wouldn't have guessed there's a fruit note in this at all, as the peach blends so seamlessly with the ylang-ylang. It's a lightly sweet, subtle floral perfume with a mild woody base that only comes out in the dry-down. Not groundbreaking by any means, but it's hard not to like this one!

I can't believe it has such little reviews. I am in love with this perfume but I can understand why it isn't everyone's cup of tea. It's POWDERY!!! Smells just like baby shampoo which is amazing for me since I love that smell. Powder + citrus (faint). The bottle is gorgeous. It's one of my favourite fragrances, too bad it's just an "eau de toilette", it's indeed a bit overpriced.

I'm not a fan of ylang ylang as much or as little as I have smelt it in other fragrances but in this one, that specific smell has been blended in a way that I actually like it. Remarkable! Plus the overall specifics from the Omnia series which is itself amazingly good.

I'm a big fan of the Omnia line and have been really looking forward to testing this since it came out about a year ago. I embarked on my first 'perfume-testing' expedition this week in over a year and I made a beeline to the Bulgari counter. First impression was summery/beachy, almost even coconutty. Then, once the top notes had faded I began to smell the familiar woody Omnia base that I love. So far so good. After that, about an hour in, the powdery aspect overtook the woodiness and finally the baby shampoo kicked in which is how this fragrance presented on my skin for the remainder of its drydown, which was considerably long - many hours in fact - similar to some of the others in this series like Crystalline which are eternal on my skin. My husband and daughter liked this scent on me but I found the baby shampoo somewhat monotonous after a while. Still, I'm going to test this again, on its own, without possible interference from other scents that I also tested that day. I don't give up on an Omnia so quickly... Update - 3/23 - So I ended up purchasing a 15 ml. mini of this just so that it should be represented in my Omnia collection. I like it. It's cheerful and optimistic feeling. I find it especially appropriate for spring as a transition fragrance. Still, it's almost my least favorite of the Omnias (Paraiba holds that dubious honor,,). I find it just a bit...bland? So today I layered it with Versace Yellow Diamond and I'm finding it a very pleasing combo. The Versace adds a bit of punch that the GC lacks.

This is a floral and sweet fragrance, which smells mostly of ylang-ylang, peach, and jasmine. I think it smells nice, but not on everyone. It smelled pleasant on my roommate, but I didn't enjoy it as much on my skin. It leans more on the feminine side, but I think it works well as a unisex scent. The performance wasn't too bad for what it is. It lasted between 4-6 hours, and it had a moderate trail for quite a bit. The price ain't too bad either. 7.5/10. The scent is an 8/10 and the performance is a 7, since it's not too bad, but not amazing either.
