Omnia Green Jade

I came relatively late to the Omnia party - after this flanker had already been discontinued, and I've been pursuing it for a while now.I strongly like all of the Omnia line (other than Paraiba) and love several of them. Therefore I was confident that I would at least like Green Jade, especially since the notes seemed safe to me and reviewers avowed its resemblance to Crystalline and Prada's Iris both of which I have and enjoy. My first attempt at purchasing Green Jade was a failure but at the same time a learning experience in how to distinguish fake from genuine perfume.Undaunted and somewhat obsessed by now with obtaining the 'real thing', I splurged on a tester from Ebay that seemed authentic and I'm pretty confident that what I received indeed is genuine. So, I've been wearing Green Jade now every day for the past week. My first whiff of this scent was disappointing. The pistachio note seemed to dominate the entire composition through the dry down and I wasn't sure that I liked it all that much. I would have preferred the citrus or green notes to be more dominant.As the scent dried down I did manage to discern the woody base notes which are lovely to my nose. Unfortunately they are very faint and I have to work hard to sense their presence. As I said - I've been wearing this daily and overall the fragrance has grown on me and I can now discern more notes, including those that 'make the fragrance' for me. I've also come to appreciate the pistachio and even like it. All said, however, Omnia Green Jade remains a skin scent for me - a very subtle and quiet one - and in that I am disappointed. I am an undersprayer - I normally wear 2 sprays of most scents - but I have to wear 4 sprays of this in order to be able to smell it on myself. I know that other reviewers warned of this, but almost all the Omnias come with these warnings of poor sillage and longevity and yet somehow on me they all have presence and very good longevity. Turns out that Green Jade is the exception. Edit - 14/9/20 Just wanted to add that Jade has been demonstrating the same 'chameleon' like quality that I get from some of the other Omnias, especially Crystalline and Coral. It really does smell different each time I wear it or smell it on someone else. Yesterday I was 100% convinced my DD was wearing Prada's Iris when she came downstairs but she was wearing Jade! The resemblance is always there but usually much more in the background. Sometimes the pistachio nutty note predominates and sometimes it's the woody notes. This quality is actually something that I love about the Omnias in general. It keeps them from being boring: they keep you guessing...

10 months ago I wrote here asking if I could get even a sample of this. Is there an article that explains the business logic behind the "discontinue" of extraordinary scents? Was the reality so different from the wishes of people writing here? Anyway, recently I got a full 65 ml bottle from the eBay. Expensive but some sell it even twice more expensive than I got it. It was worth waiting. This is the 7th of Omnia series that I have now. It is quite what I expected (say 75%) when I imagined the mindblowing greenery of Bvlgari's Mon Jasmin Noir L'Eau Exquise. I found Green Jade being similar to Crystalline, my favourite of this line, and this mostly because of the prominent pear note. I had to spray them on two different places at the same time to verify that they really are different and they are. By the information above I read that GJ was published after Crystalline, maybe that's why they are somewhat similar. But peony, jasmine and woodsy notes -- where? There are many peonies out there, I've smelt tens of them in our botanical garden so who knows which one. Jasmine -- not detected by my nose but it would've been a remarkable addition if I would smell it. Pistachio -- maybe, but that nut has so little smell so if that's here then I would say by imagination rather (or I just haven't eaten pistachios recently enough to remember or detect their smell). Green notes -- there is something and that something is essential that makes it so good but that green happens to be sweet kind and I don't know what it is, maybe some sort of peony or pistachio? GJ is now another favourite of mine in this series, this in addition to Crystalline although I like them all anyway.

Second review to add that I was previously hesitant to say that this is similar to Prada Infusion D'iris edp even though I could see why people were saying it. Then today I was confused as to why my skin smelled like Green Jade. Forgetting altogether what I had sprayed this morning, I was confident it wasn't Green Jade. Then I remembered I wore Prada Infusion d'iris edp after my shower.... They really do smell a lot alike in the drydown, just not so much in the opening as Green Jade has that distinct Omnia Crystalline cleanness. But once it dries down, it warms much like Prada does. I believe the pistachio & woods in this behaves in a similar way as benzoin and galbanum does in Prada. They aren't dupes of course, but so similar my brain was fully tricked, and I own both and wear both frequently. Green Jade does not smell like Infusion D'iris EDT, however. I'm surprised to see it so highly voted as similar to the EDT because that is such a different fragrance the edp in my opinion. All this to say, if you were to layer Omnia Crystalline over top of Infusion d'iris edp I'd be shocked if the outcome wasn't a dead ringer for Green Jade. If you can't get this, try that combo!

Feels like inside me waking up again a long-forgotten love for BVLGARI. For a long time I looked for a daytime fragrance for the spring or summer, and already despairing suddenly remembered about Omnia Green Jade, which was presented to me in November. Unpacked, put them... Oh God, how beautiful it is in the opening and at the end. It's such a gentle, light, a little Pre-Powdered, with hints of green notes, which do not allow him to become suffocating. After full disclosure, it smells pistachio-wood powder, which envelops you as a veil. And jasmine ... I had a jasmine before, but I'm not yet met any one like this one. It is like a diamond with high quality squared edges. It is not like other jasmine perfume, it is extravagant and extraordinary. It has his own signature style. I recognize it in a million. As for his persistence, It kept it on the body of 12-15 hours, on the hair - all of two days, and even more. BVLGARI embodies glamor and luxury of the radiance of precious stones. Omnia Green Jade is the cleanest-cut diamond, among their perfume. How could it be otherwise...

Omnia Green Jade was my first Bvlgari parfum purchase. When I worked my last desk job, my boss and her office constantly smelt like Bvlgari Pour Femme, and it was overwhelming to say the least. I found myself shying away from the Bvlgari brand of fragrances due to that singular experience. I'm so glad I changed my mind. Bvlgari Omnia Green Jade was the first perfume I purchased blind. When I read the notes and found out it had been discontinued, I knew I had to experience this olfactory scoop of pistachio gelato for myself. At first spray, the scent glitters with freshly cracked pistachio, pear blossom and peony. Green Jade's development into a woody, musky softness makes it wearable daily. Hours later ::sniffs wrist::, and it smells of creamy, nutty pistachio. This scent wears very differently in the wintertime. The musky nuttiness prevails during the colder months, and in the summer, the soapy florals dominate. Because of Omnia Green Jade, I've promised myself to explore all of the Omnia line.
