Omnia Paraiba

I adore this fragrance. It is rare in that it is a watery, passion fruit, tropical scent without coconut and without heavy base notes. No one is trying to be clever here by adding "interesting notes" like some bark note we've never hear of - the vetiver and cacao are soft enough to add depth without getting weird on us. Definitely a spring/summer scent however, it does work very well on overcast spring days. I am really wondering about Bulgaria's decisions with the Omnia line. Usually, even if I don't prefer a flanker or one of the scents in a house's line of fragrances, I can usually understand their thinking when discontinuing a fragrance - based on common/general public tastes. But I truly don't get Bvlgari with their Omnia scents. They really seemed to push Omnia Crystalline (toilette) - truly, there have been several times I could not smell the scent straight out of the bottle, it is so light. Omnia Coral is just a bland, common scent - Amethyst is old fashion simple lilac reminding me of drug store cologne. The original parfum is dated - I do like the Indian Garnet somewhat (discontinued) - but the Paraiba is so wonderful and lasts much longer than any of the other toilettes. Sadly it was what Bulgaria chose to discontinue. I was very proud of myself a few weeks ago when I pulled out my Spring/Summer perfumes - I had forgotten that at the end of last season, I purchased 2 bottles - they are unopened so I will have Paraiba for a few more years. Hooray!

I absolutely adore this fragrance. It's got a powerful passion fruit opening that I adore. It reminds me of being on the beach in Hawaii sipping on a passion fruit margarita with a rim of Li Hing Mui powder. Would I consider this a more youthful scent? Absolutely. That aside, I'm in my 40's, and in this stage of my life, I just want to wear what makes me happy. I'm not looking for scents that make me smell older than I am, nor am I looking for scents that are outrageously dark and mysterious. When I first sprayed this scent on my wrist, my eyes literally crossed. I have never smelled anything so delicious and refreshing. Pariaba is a passion fruit/gardenia gem with a green vetiver base paired with a hint of spice from the cacao. A truly divine scent that always makes me smile. Seeing as this fragrance is named after the blue/green Pariaba tourmaline, you definitely get the 'blue/green' tropical vibe minus the coconut that is usually prevalent in fragrances like this. If you do not care for juicy fruity scents like this, run far and fast from Pariaba; however, if you are looking for a juicy fragrance that is light and fun, Pariaba is for you. Alberto Morillas created a true gem here. One of my favorite fragrances of all time.

Ó meu Deus! This fragrance: I almost have no words. It is one of the most gorgeous scents I have ever experienced. If this is Brasilia in a bottle, I can't wait to visit! Imagine the most gorgeous day by a glistening aqua coastline, where the azure water laps softly against the white sand. A gardenia sits in your hair while you sip on a sweet, effervescent passion fruit concoction with a passion flower on the rim. All is beautiful with the world while you watch the ocean, sip your drink, and the breeze brings you an olfactory experience that can only be described as paradise. Upon first spritz, the opening is sharp and gloriously tangy with bitter orange intermingled with passion fruit and passion flower. This smells delightfully fun and flirty, and in true Bvlgari fashion, it smells expensive. As it warms, the fruitiness succumbs to a watery, yet non-ozonic, tropical film on the skin. After a few hours, it lingers and smells warmly, fruity fresh (this is the cacao pod), and everyone who walks by you will want to come in for a closer sniff.

I smell a creamy blend of passion fruit mango and blueberries- it is very yummy smelling slightly gourmand but tropical and fresh at the same time. It has a sort of bubblegum base note and an expensive clothes conditioner dry down which i really find pleasant. Just because a fragrance smells like clothes conditioner does not make it a bad thing pure poison also smells like clothes conditioner and it is a masterpiece. This reminds me of baking and bakery of mango and blueberry tart - it smells very tart to me but is fresh and juicy also- I really love it I have never tried anything like this - when i smell this I am in paradise it is beautiful . the definition of a little heaven on earth!! tart ripe fresh juicy fruity and oceanic- it is mouthwatering! My favourite of the Bvlgari Omnia line- I also like Coral but not enough to buy- this one is very unique so I bought it. It is unique among my collection so mouthwatering and tart. scent=7.5/10 bottle=7/10 sillage=5/10 longevity=5/10

I actually love this one. It’s everything I expected for a light-hearty, tropical, summer scent. The passion fruit and orange in here actually smell realistic and succulent, unlike the other chemically sweet “fruity” scents the market is flooded with. I smell a musky floral note in a background, not screaming gardenia for me (I don’t have much experience with gardenia scents. I identify it as a watery, green floral with no sweetness). I also detect a nutty note and an earthy, masculine note in the dry-down which were the cocoa and vetiver, giving the scent some depth instead of spilled fruity punch and making me mark it as as a unisex scent. It’s not a one-of-a-kind scent, but it delivers what it promises. I have also tried coral, amethyst, crystalline. This is my favorite so far. Hate this bottle. Always accidentally spray while picking it up. Can’t imagine carrying it in a bag.

Went to Bvlgari training 2 weeks ago as we will be launching this scent in Macy's on Black Friday. I definitely smelled the Lilikoi (passion fruit) and the gardenia, after 20 minutes I could smell the warmth from the sugar cane and cacao, but not a chocolate smell like the one that Gucci has in their Floral scent. It's a summer scent for me (fruity and citrusy) and reminds me of home in Hawaii for sure, but the fact that they want to release In October /November is beyond me. Most fruity/citrus fragrances go sour on my skin but thankfully not this one, so for those who have this issue - fear not! The bottle is beautiful, the smell is AMAZING, wish it was a longer lasting fragrance. Out of all the ones in the Omnia collection, I know this will do extremely well, and is my most favorite out of all of them at this point.

Absolutely a recommendation to anyone. The scent is so different from many other perfumes with fruity and floral notes in the market. If anyone try and think it smells like fabric softener, that is wrong. Just because it does not have a typical smell like other stereotypes of perfumes doesn't not mean it is cheap or whatsoever. Really fresh, sweet but not give u headache or want to vomit( Even though you have not had your breakfast in the morning). Passion fruit note is very obvious but the whole combination makes me feel happy, energetic, young and sexy at the same time. Beautiful packaging with the paraiba green blue colour. This is my favorite perfume for Spring Summer 2016. Been using it for a week. And I love it so much. Will repurchase once my 40ml bottle is over. Cheer!

This is gorgeous scent, vibrant with sweet but calm accords. To appreciate any fragrance you must wear it for more than "I have tested it in the shop" scenario. First sniff is usually very deceiving. You may approach any fragrance with expectations, you see fragrance first before you smell it. Bottle can be misleading often and not reflecting on what the juice inside it is. So please don't judge any fragrance after one sniff...it's unprofessional. I have all Omnia fragrances and Paraiba is one of my favourite fragrances. Well blended notes that are lights but with sweet accords. I wore it and experience this amazing fragrance during the day, evening, on skin, on my clothes, in warm days and when it was colder.

Ohhh god or ohh Alberto Morillas !!! Thank you for this scent. It will make you feel wonderful if you dont have a problem with fruity tropical fragrances. Very good combination, passion fruit and flower with cacao. When I smell it ,I become happy with a satisfied smile on my face. I love it. It is perfect for summer especially if you are thinking about spending some time in the tropical island :) It lasts a lot on me. You will feel mostly tropical fruit and I also feel peach in it. Then gardenia will appear but dominated by passion flower. And when it dries down cacao will accompany them. It will smell like heaven.

This is such an exotic, passion fruit, mandarin, mango juice. It has a very refreshing and watery vibe, one of the few fragrances that take me instantly to a far away, tropical beach. Not at all the typical intoxicating, citrusy and coconuty exotic fragrance. The thing that had my attention at first was the its very suggestive color. I do love it, the longevity is not that great, but sill I will repurchase... In terms of notes it is the best from the range, imo. If you are not bothered by the poor longevity and you are in search for a different kind of summery, refreshing fragrance, I strongly recommend this one.

I see a lot of comments saying this is an immature fruity fragrance but I couldn’t disagree more, I find the vetiver & cacao in the base take the edge off the fruit and gives me a very sophisticated tropical summer scent. I can just see this as the perfect fragrance for an affluent independent woman sunning herself on a tropical beach, a playful fragrance but with a sophisticated base that lets you know she’s boss. I adore this on my skin and get compliments when I wear it, I’ve been through 3 bottles and am gutted it’s discontinued. RIP to the only fruity perfume I have ever loved.

I came across this by accident. My friend at work had the purple one and i loved the bottle. As I was scrolling through other perfumes by bvlgari I noticed this bottle. Its my favourite colour and paraiba (tourmaline) is my favourite gemstone so I had to have it. Its fruity, juicy, sweet and reminds me of my time in Barbados. Its my new summer signature scent. Performance isn't the best but a get a good 2 hours without spritzing again. It smells so nice I don't care how many times I spray it tbh. Its now discontinued but I always have a back up 👍👍a true gem just like its namesake .

I first sensed this aqua colored omnia on a friend and it smelled lovely....Since then I've spared it in the back of my head for later. Found a 20ml for cheaps and snagged it. It is not that fruity start on me, just fresh poolside aqua freshness that after a while meltes pretty easy on my skin, to a warm womanly body scent. Wich I now can see reading notes - must be the gardena and chocolate mix. I love it on me and the only minus might be ...disapearance! Might also suit me so well and therefor don't bother me as much - since I love most of the Morillas creations

After I met Sisley Eau Tropical I've always been searching for a nice passionfruit fragrance, and Omnia Paraiba is truly a notable one.It's affordable(I'd rather say it's quite cheap) but not synthetic, for a fruity fragrance the smell is amazing.A very bright, lovely and joyful aroma.I've seen too many designer perfumes and celebrity perfumes that write many pretty fruits notes in the pyramid but turned out to be excessively sweet and synthetic. As a $65 fragrance by Bvlgari, yes, it is satisfying. P.S. I got a 25ml bottle of this for only 160RMB.

I’ve used this perfume during the Winter and it smells great but it wasn’t exceptionally amazing. Recently I used this perfume on a very hot sunny day on a trip to the city. It smelled AMAZING. Hot muggy temperatures where you sweat like crazy really bring out the best of this perfume. It smells fruity but not too sweet and the floral notes in it blend very nicely with the tropical flavor. Longitivity is not the best but it’s not horrible either. This is a great perfume to wear in the summer and I totally recommend it.

This perfume reminds me of nothing I've ever smelled, at least not on me. The minute I laid my "nose" on it, I knew I had to go back and get it. I associate this smell with summer, sipping cocktails on a sandy beach, gazing at a turquoise sea. I only wear it in summer of when I miss the sea so bad! The sillage is not very strong and the whole scent is very well balanced. To me it smells watery, airy and tropical. I love it's unique smell, I think it's one if my favorites of all time.

First smell,candy like,sweet,chewing gum,lollipops,but i got it just because it was new and wanted something else,me being a musky,woody,oriental fragrances woman.Put it on today and left for some errands and the smell that came from my skin,the drydown of Paraiba is pretty much Omnia the simple,the first Bvlgari Omnia which was one of my most loved even though it didn't last too much.Paraiba is a little longer lasting,sprayed it 4 h ago and still going strong.Me likey!!!

My favorite out of all the Omnia collection. It's so wearable and completely unisex. This is my perfect summer beach fragrance, super fresh clean and THE BEST passion fruit I have found so far. Gardenia adds that white clean smell to it but it's not floral or soapy at all, bitter oranges makes it so well balanced. Imagine you are at a beach club sun kissed having such a great view enjoying the breeze while drinking a passion fruit margarita. I AM IN LOVE

I've had it for two months and it's wonderful. It reminds me to Omnia Crystalinne in the middle notes and the 'beach smell' in the starting notes comes back in the heart notes. One of my best from my last discovers, but it should last a little bit more: at the end of the day it only comes up when you go to the shower. I remember Aquazur from Lancaster as a very very long lasting but fresh perfume, so this can be done. However, good bought.

Again ,another scent that is not how I had envisioned it being before trial alas i still love it. It's not too strong, I just have a small 25 ml and who knows if it's the original formula or been watered down but I'm lucky to have found it 2nd hand. It's been discontinued for a whil3 now and hard tonfind. It's a beautiful scent. It's summer now and I am wearing it. It's nit tropical, more soft musky floral. That's okay for me

I wanted a tropical scent for my birthday and I got one. It is everything I want in that sort of scent. It's fruity, it's got leafy notes. There's greenness to it. That being said, let's cut to the chase. The sillage and longevity are beyond disappointing and for the price tag of 66 dollars for 1.3 oz, I want something with a bit of kick. Maybe it's my chemistry. I'm not sure but I wish I had known before I bought it.

The branding of the "Paraiba" is just so spot on. The opening notes really do conjure images of Brazilian nature and vivacious women. Passionfruit and passion flower are strong and smell like the real thing. After dry down beautiful vetiver comes out and STAYS for a long time. I don't think you can ever go wrong with a Bvlgari perfume. The quality and longevity of this sophisticated perfume surpassed many.

I enjoyed paraiba for quite a long time, my very last spray of this was on beautiful sunny day in Dubrovnik few weeks a go, lasted long time on my skin, always feel amazing every time I wear it, how I miss it a lot! For me it was the best spring/summer fragrance, never I thought that summer fragrances can smell elegant like this, unfortunately won't be able to get it anymore.

UGH, why must this have such bad staying power! This is the best fruity summer perfume and smells like vacation but the longevity is awful! I can barely smell it on after 2 hours and I spray this all over my clothes. This scent also brings back memories of the royal sonesta hotel in Boston, maybe it was their air diffuser or something, but this smells exactly like that hotel!

This should be one of the most well made summer scents ever. Great both for day to day and summer evenings. The only reason I don’t wear this often is I am worried about running out and not being able to find a bottle as it seems to have been discontinued. That being said, longevity and projection aren’t that great. You should spray on your clothes and keep respraying.

First I got a nice tropical vibe with flowers and fruits, but after a few seconds it changed to a carrot smell. I thought I was crazy, so I showed it to my husband and he agreed: it's grated carrots with lemon juice. I felt like a tropical veggie soup wearing this one so I gave up testing, but it's not offensive anyway. The bottle is gorgeous and a bit overpriced.

This is soooooo nice in the beginning; it's tempting to buy as soon as you spray. It starts out sweet and tropical, but as it dries down, it gets screechy and sharp. A bit of a disappointment for me personally, but on people who like sharp citrusy scents, that's exactly what it could come off as - sharp & citrusy (could be a good thing, depends on what you like)

I love this fragrance! It opens with a lovely passionfruit and orange and I get the cocoa and floral notes. It is smooth, fresh and creamy at the same time. You can definitely overspray this one and an aura of the fragrance stays for about 6 hours. This is understated and classy, perfect for spring and summer. Full bottle worthy and 8/10 ❤.

I got this as a blind buy around 3 or 4 months ago I was looking for an Passionfruit fragrance and this is the one this is the only Bvlgari fragrance I have in my collection and I was happy to have it sadly it’s been discontinued this is a lovely fragrance i will hold into this cuz I’m scared I won’t be able to get it again

This is my favorite scent from the Omnia line and one of my favorite scents for a tropical summer vacation. An amazing tropical, aquatic, summer scent. I would wear it for vacation in the Caribbean or Hawaii. I went through a 3ml decant and I regret not buying a bottle. Bvlgari should bring it back.

I bought a bottle several months ago, and I LOVE it! I have received So Many compliments - especially from men! The first time I wore it, a man stopped me to tell me how much he really liked my perfume. He told me that "it was causing [his] endorphins to kick in." LOL

this is another 1 of my fav perfumes to wear, the lovely fruity passionfruit note is very prominent in this, it has a beautiful tropical fruity scent definitely a more summery perfume, but you can still wear this all year round.

رایحه فوق العاده با کیفیت و تمیز هلو با دوام و پخش ضعیف ----------- Scent & Qualiy: 10/10 Longevity: 5/10 Sillage: 4/10 Creativity & Uniqueness: 8/10 Affordability: 7/10 ----------- Overall: 6.8+ 0.5= 7.3/10

Anyone know what to do when the bottle no longer sprays? I dug this out after forgetting about it and now I can't get the juice. It is so summery and beautiful. Half the bottle is stuck! Thanks

I love this. It’s beachy, tropical, cool-yet-sweet, and easy to wear. Really fresh and likable. Performance is not great, so I keep a tiny bottle in my bag and apply it throughout the day.

For me ...te best fragrance for summer 2016, and I have a lot of summer fragracies. When I wear it i feel free, fresh and nothing is impossible. Also man like it :)

This is a diet version of Nirmala. Both are centered around passionfruit. They are really similar, except that one is super sweet and heavy and the other is clean.

I love this fragrance. It's really fresh and unique because of the passion fruit! I'm very sorry that it's now discontinued. It`s hard for me getting new bottles.

I enjoy wearing this EDT a lot. It is light, feminin, easy to wear and remind me of summer... However I get Dolce&Gabbana "L'imperatrice 3" vibes from it!

Love it! Passion fruit is big and juicy. A little citrus and creamy gardenia. Perfect sillage. Will be one of my summer go to frags. 8/10

The smell of a day at the beach: Fruity, fresh and truly beautiful. Nothing exciting, but overall perfect companion for a day in the sun.

After drying and a few hours it smelled clean.. I don't know how to put it... Like a clean scent but really really weak

That bitter orange is the most ripest citrus scent i have ever smelled. In this Texas heat it blends beautifully!

Absolutely love this smell, the passion fruit is refreshing and enjoyable. So sad it’s been discontinued.

Fresh, delicate, beautiful scent. Perfect for summer, the lasting power is moderate.

Finished my bottle in 6 days! An amazing fragrance!

I get the window cleaner smell, too. strange.

I found Paraiba yesterday at my local Sephora, spritzed some on my wrist and swooned a little bit. It's refreshingly different from the stream of fruitchoulis that seem to unceasingly enter the mass market. Though different, there is something nostalgic for me in Paraiba. Upon inhale, some hazy memory materialized of being 13, primping for a G-rated night out with my friends in the late 80s, when hair products with massive sillage were used in massive quantities, mostly possessing fresh/aquatic/fruity scents. Paraiba is a far more sophisticated scent than those it conjured in my 80s scent flashback, as shown by it's wonderful drydown: cocoa and vetiver, so unexpected from Paraiba's beginnings and beautifully executed. It made me smile. And that's what a fragrance should do, make the wearer smile. It's firmly now on my "To Buy" list. As for Paraiba's sillage: subtle in proper quantities but noticeable. After the in-Sephora spray, one of their associates walked up and asked, "What smells SO good back here?" I pointed to Paraiba and her eyes widened as if it were the first time she had noticed the aqua-colored gem along side the other Omnias. She snapped up the bottle and immediately sprayed the air. Her eyes rolled back, lids closed in satisfaction, and she proclaimed, "That's amazing. I usually don't like watery, fresh scents, but this one... this one has something extra, some backbone." After receiving a sample of Pariaba from the Sephora associate, I merrily went on my way. Several hours afterwards and one re-spritz later, I went into a store and was promptly chased down. "I don't know if it's you," said a woman hesitantly, "but something smells sooo good." I reached into my handbag, extracted the Paraiba scent strip from Sephora, and handed it to her. "That's it!" she exclaimed. Told her to keep it and head to the mall to experience it first hand. Lovely stuff.

I had never experienced passion fruit in perfumes until Bvlgari Omnia Paraiba. The passion fruit here is very enjoyable: tart and zesty, without the sort of musky taste in the actual fruit. As the fragrance warms up, the fruity note shifts from passion fruit to a peach note after about 30 minutes, probably stems from the combination of passion fruit and gardenia. The peach here is ripe and luscious, as if I had a bowl of peach purée mixed with passion fruit juice nearby. Unfortunately, here comes the descent from the tropical heaven of mouth-watering fruits. Omnia Paraiba just becomes sweeter and sweeter with time, and turns into a fruity hard candy type of sweetness that I'm not so fond of. Moreover, in the far dry down, when the white musk eventually becomes more prominent, the fragrance falls into this inevitable fruity shampoo trap. Omnia Paraiba has moderate sillage and 9-hour longevity on my skin, which is better than most fragrances in Omnia series that I tried. I enjoy the passion fruit opening quite a bit, and it's definitely a very cheerful fragrance for an escape to tropical heaven. But even if you're a fan of the Omnia series, do test before commit a full bottle, as it's much sweeter than the other Omnia IMO.
