Omnia Indian Garnet

Oh this one... My boyfriend bought me this fragrance, and at first I was disapointed it ́s an Eau de Toilette. Then I smelled it for the first time and I liked it but I found it too soft, too mild... thought I was the kind of fragrance that dissappears in 2 - 3 hours... Scent: this is all about an exotic orange... it ́s warm in a delicate way, somewhat soapy but just slightly.. there are flowers dancing around the orange indeed, and woods at the base. I figure there must be some spices too, but I don ́t find any at the list of notes here. The fragrance is a sofisticated but soft take on an oriental, there is sexiness to it, but not "in your face".. you have to be close.. yo have to linger within the scent to feel it. This is an exotic lady with a golden tann on her skin, wearing a delicate orange dress, on her bare feet.. she wears no make up.. she doesn ́t need it. I find it versatile, appropriate for any casual and semi-formal occasion, outdoors, indoors, all year round. I tend to grab it more towards the months of fall and spring, but really, I have worn this all the same on winter and summer. A young adult might find it “too serious”, “boring” or “mature”, but I think it depends on her personality.. As an example, I started wearing this occasionally when I was 22, but at 26 I started using more regularly. You can safely wear this to the office, to a job interview, to a casual dinner with friends or a date. I truly wish this came in an Eau de Parfum... that would be a game changer for me! A beautiful scent like this should come in a stronger version.. only because it does not project that well, I would definitely not pick this for a wedding or a very important event where I need my fragrance to perform. But taking sillage aside, this scent does match a wedding situation beautifully! A pitty.. Bottle: does not blow my mind, does not bother me either.. I ́ll give it that it ́s original. Projection: soft... you have to be close to catch it. Longevity: surprisingly high for an Eau de Toilette.. about 7 hours on me. Amazing! The thing is that I stop smelling it after 2 hours, so I feel like it has already faded... then 3 hours later some random person tells me how good I smell and I takes me by surprise. Well done Bulgari! Lovely, delicate, I have never come across a dupe for this and surely I would like to keep this scent forever in my collection.. but the price is too high for an Eau de Toilette that comes in 80ml... I don ́t see myself repurchasing it just for that reason... with the same money I can bring home a bigger bottle of an Eau de Parfum that projects way better! I would buy it if I came across a nice discount hahaha. Totally recommend it if you can afford it.

Indian Garnet opens with a pretty mandarin note, followed by some lovely saffron, a light soft spice which initially did not last, but if you use a body creme under it- then it's a whole new ballgame! The woods become dominant for an hour or so and in the final drydown the tuberose dominates, softened by the osmanthus with the wood in the background. I originally sensed the amber during the middle phase when the woods are more dominant. I experimented with body cremes- with a great result! Read on... I was originally upset that the longevity was lacking in Indian Garnet so I put on a good amount of Chanel Exclusifs body creme, which has a light bergamot scent. Then when I sprayed on Indian Garnet, voila, a miracle occurred. I could smell all the lovely notes. The amber comes out in a nice depth and the saffron lingers. The mandarin does not dominate anymore. This really smells like a spicy floral with an oriental base. Bvlgari has started selling the matching soap for this fragrance and it really is lovely- great for layering and longevity. With the soap and a body creme, this is a wonderful scent both for work and as an evening scent that works well for hot, humid summer evenings. It's like an evening on the patio in an orange grove with spicy saffron in the garden and in a lovely saffron laden dish on the table. Warm,soft and wonderful...

I hemmed and hawed about buying Indian Garnet for months. I would sample it whenever I had the chance but couldn't make up my mind about it. I loved the scent - especially the zesty orange 'bite' - but I wasn't sure about the longevity. Sometimes the scent just seemed to fall apart on me after only an hour or two. Finally, my husband - probably fed up with my indecision - surprised me one day with a bottle. I am so happy that he did. I am truly enjoying this. True, sometimes the scent does not last on me. But other times it does! Sometimes hours later I will catch a whiff or someone will ask me what scent I am wearing. I honestly can't predict when it will last or not but if needed I just reapply. The scent is soft and discreet enough that I can do that without fear of applying too much so as to be overwhelming. Update 11/2020 - this has become one of my all time favorite scents. It smells like nothing else I know. Update 1/2021 I just ordered a back up bottle as this has unfortunately been discontinued. I don't want to have to track down a bottle on ebay when I finish my current bottle, as I had to do with the Omnia Green Jade, and pay through the nose. First time I've ever preemptively ordered a back up of anything but I've learned my lesson, and I don't want to be without this scent.....

I first discovered this through a tiny mini bottle tucked into an auction lot, and it was pure love at first sniff. The moment I tested it, I knew a dabber miniature wouldn't do - I immediately went on the hunt and scored a full bottle before this discontinued beauty disappears for good. The opening is wonderfully bright, juicy, and luminous - pure sunny citrus. As it settles, the floral heart steps in with a beautifully weighted, velvety feel that gives the composition real substance without ever becoming heavy or loud. The dry-down melts into a warm, smooth woody base that sits close to the skin like a soft, elegant veil. To be clear: this isn't a powerhouse or an all-day beast mode scent. It’s an intimate, airy EDT that stays close to your personal space, but the scent profile itself is so gorgeous, creamy, and grounding that I don't mind reapplying at all. If you love smooth, luminous floral-woods and manage to find a bottle, don't sleep on it!

This perfume is floaty and ethereal. At the same time there is a silky smooth undercurrent of the most pleasing addictive scent- indescribable! Like you're walking around in a mystical garden following a scent you know is bait to ensnare you. But you can't help follow it! It's the first Omnia I've tried. I don't get the notes pyramid on this. Oranges? Definitely the sweet part, maybe a touch of zest in opening. If I had to guess I would say lotus, sugar-water and cedar with some almost succulent mellow fruit note like apricot, but I think that could be the sweet osmanthus. Sweet/ succulent in such an addictive way. Understated and quiet. One of those pleasing and lovely soft fragrances, and I find it lasts forever on clothes. Like for days. I agree with others who say this is quite underrated.

Amazing how scent plays with every individual's chemistry. I read the reviews of this fragrance not lasting, being light and close to the skin, being ordinary. My first spritz of this on my skin was heaven! The combination of mandarin and saffron is magic - uplifting! I sprayed inside the crook of my elbow under 3 layers of clothing (I can't bear cold weather), pulled all three sweaters back down to my wrist and I was afraid I had over sprayed. Molecules flew spinning into the air around me - my favorite color, saffron, had entered another dimension with fresh mandarin. 24 hours later it was still as strong, but soft and bright. It reminds me very much of Jaipur Sapir, which I could never wear because the beautiful mandarin top notes melted into the scents of peanut butter and wax crayons.

I feel like this perfume doesn't get talked about enough, every time I spray it I can't stop myself from smelling my scarf; it's one of those scents that every time I smell it I can't help but smile and feel good. It's warm, woody, musky, yet clean, so cozy to wear. It's not a sweet scent, but it has the slightest touch of sweetness to it, like if you took a section of mandarin and squeezed it-nothing synthetic or sickly about it. I find it hard to describe because it really is such a unique scent, it just sits really well on the skin. It reminds me of a crisp fall day. My one complaint like other users is that the wear time, to me it is what I would expect of an EDT after 5 hours I ave to reapply so I wish they would release an EDP but this is still one of my all time favourite scents.

I have never came across a Blvgari I didn't like, and this one is no exception. I have always wanted a good mandarin orange perfume,and this makes me very happy! I have a special association with them and Thanksgiving, so this will probably be my scent of choice for that day. Mandarin oranges is what I get from this,as they are sweeter than regular oranges, and I find nothing sour here... coupled with lovely woods and a nice subtle saffron note. I may even layer with a little Coco Chanel for a nice spicy mandarin kick(I love a good steaming mandarin spice tea), but it stands on it's own...loving this new purchase! Dries down so soft and lovely! So excited for the Holidays! ;)

When I saw the commercial for this fragrance I was hoping it would be as it is. A lot Oriental flora's are suffocating me with musk,musk en more baby intoxicating musk. But this one is really beautiful it opens with a fresh, fruity, citrus. Almost like a cologne and than it develops this floral, saffron, mix that end's up into a nice woody-amber-ish Indian tea.... This one is a very soft oriental almost as it isn't one. I really enjoy this one every day, (got this one last week as a gift from my dear husband:) .... He loves it to, he sad it's a very unusual fragrance. Jeeeeeeeej

I love this precious perfume, I feel it resonates with my soul and spirit as it is a perfect split between modern/vintage. It makes me appreciate the past and easily accept the new. I truly find it magical, uplifting, and grounding at the same time. I have never smelled a living osmanthus flower, my imagination has me thinking, that might be the magic in this one. I do love pretty much any citrus blossom and any type of jasmine, could be good for anyone who gravitates towards those scents. Really feminine and feline Thank you for creating this Alberto! xo

The Bay just got it in. I almost bought it. I may go back and get it as it's very pleasant and appealing. Very discreet !!! This is a super light skin scent. Great for daytime and anywhere , non offensive save and nice. Starts with a light citrus note, mandarine and oranges and turns a little peachy ( osmanthus ) then the amber gives it appealing warmth , its a simple and nice scent. You can't go wrong. But don't expect a strong perfume. It's extremely discreet. Which I don't mind. In contrary I often prefer weak to strong. Its elegant !

My favorite Omnia flanker. I love it so much that when I have it on I can't help but smell my wrist every 5 minutes. I have owned bottles of this since it came out. On me it is suited for any weather. It is perfectly sweet, jammy, soft spicy, warm, a little creamy. The Osmanthus and Tuberose add a Romantic touch. The saffron in this is gorgeous- it adds such character. I certainly feel unique when I have this on like no one else smells like me. If it lasted longer I would need this in my top 10!

I love it. I saw the words "Indian" and "Garnet" and hoped for a deep, spicy, Indian food-smelling perfume. Instead it came packaged in orange, which is the color of Indian garnets, and smelling of mandarin. It's delightful! I love the citrus notes, even though there's very little spice. Amber is present as well, so I have no complaint! It's a great everyday fragrance that sticks with me and is just mysterious enough to make me feel confident.

Rich, beautiful, sophisticated and by far the most impressive of Bvlgari's Omnia range. I used to wear this when it just came out and finished my bottle rather quickly because this perfume is so versatile. While it is definitely more day than night and more spring/summer than fall/winter, it works almost any time and any place. Will definitely be buying this one again - great gift and great fragrance to have in your collection!

IS THIS AVAILABLE SOMEWHERE ALREADY and where?and who is this with the vote"i had it"???this is stupid-vote without test...the notes for me sounds good,i hope and the fragrance to be so fresh and in the same time amber-y like it sounds...i like all the OMNIA range and i had all of them.this will be the next number in my collection.for me they are not flankers,every smell is with very different and sensual personality!

I just got this and I really like it. It's a more wearable less intense Armani Code, it has that orange note that I love. Not citrus, but a creamier orange. Just a very pretty feminine perfume. You could wear this to a doctor's appointment or if you work at an office or in a closed space, I think this wouldn't offend anyone, but people would know you smell good. Definitely a keeper.

Very different from the previous Omnias. It smells very nice, but somehow lacks the elegance and versatility that other Omnias have (well, maybe with the exception of Omnia Coral which also smells exotic). This is a typical summer scent, fresh, fruity and sweet. A must try for orange lovers. Call me crazy, but I can smell fig in it although it is not listed!

The initial opening smells like a citronella candle. It becomes a bit more complex and spicy as it dries down. I gave this scent a few different tries and I eventually came to love it. This remains heavy with citrus to the end but it has a degree of depth and richness to it. I'd say it's one to be worn with confidence, a statement, for special occasions.

I absolutely love the fragrance. It's a beautiful, well done orangey-woody one, with just the right amount of spiceness. The thing is: the lasting power is awful! I know it's an EDT, but it's still a shame. Even after moisturizing and spraying it 20+ times, it lasts less than 4 hours on my skin. Very disappointing due to its ridiculously high price.

Yet another from the Omnia series to try. The smell is very good but it is very weak and disappears quickly. It let me puzzled about the ingredients, didn't recognise anything, but I certainly liked it. I used my 2 ml decanted tester in one day because of its weakness, never happened with any other so quickly. It is similar to Omnia itself.
