Bulgari Omnia Paraiba Review

I got this in the last BR vault. It was something I had lusted after ever since BR listed it on their website. I mean which person who loves fragrances wouldn't want this gorgeous looking bottle on their vanity? I DID!!!

The bottle is a work of art really. It is a teal colour with silver accents to make it look like a gem. The shape I can't describe but it does remind me of one of those brain teaser puzzles you used to get at book shops. You push it down to get the fragrance to mist out. I liken it to that of a lost sea treasure. Now I have tried other Bulgari scents in the past and have liked them so thought this would be no different.

I usually go for sweet scents but the promise of fruity and woody scents together intrigued me. The fragrance is actually more floral than anything else. It has a fresh summer feel to it like fresh spring flowers with an undertone of berries or apple. Once it warms to my skin I can smell the woody scent more obviously. It reminds me of a perfume I have that does the same and it's more an amber smell or sandalwood. In all honesty it's not a scent I love AT ALL! I thought it would be ok once it warmed up and changed the fresh smell. The smell is actually quite sickening for me. It's almost like a cheap knock off perfume smell that I can't love no matter how much I try.

If you are a fan of fresh and floral scents then this is made for you. If you prefer sweet scents then STAY AWAY! It would be a nice scent for a person who likes to smell of spring and summer all year around because it has that feel about it.

The stay power is quite impressive really. I can smell it all day long but I wonder if it's because I am aware of the smell that I don't like and it's on me. Either way one or two spritz's would be sufficient for a day long waft of scent.

I was fortunate enough to win this as a spot prize from beauty review. The thing I love most about this perfume is the bottle which it is really flash looking and is a pretty aqua turquoise colour.

It has a fruity woody scent which is quite strong when first sprayed which I didn't like at first however I found the perfume smelt better once it has settled on my skin.

Overall this perfume is quite nice if you prefer woody scent rather than sweet scents and it is perfect for summer.

This is such a summery fragrance as it's super fruity. Most prominent is the lime and passion fruit so it's definitely one for those who love citrus, and has a tropical floral undertone.

The theme of the brazilian jungle, beaches and ocean is really fitting, I can't imagine wearing this fragrance on a chilly day. It's light and tangy and isn't all that lasting unfortunately.

If you're wondering how the bottle dispenses as I was before I received it, it's one piece, the top plastic panel pushes down to spritz.

I actually won this perfume from a BR Christmas giveaway, thank you again BR! It's not one I'd purchase as this type of scent is just not really a preference for me, although I do enjoy it and recommend if you do have a preference for tangy fruity fragrances.

I am so lucky to get this fragrance from BR and just in time for my birthday. The bottle came in a protective box to stop is sliding around and breaking and BR bubble wrapped it too. The scent is different I think younger ladies would love this a great teenage birthday gift. It is fresh and fruity. The description of it having an exotic feel is right. It reminds me of islands. At first when you spray it you smell something sweet slightly citrus or floral but the main smell is sweet and fruity maybe a little like sweet pea flower but much sweeter I smell mango juice even a little apricot passion fruit and flower you get alot and later you get the scent has been warmed / made creamy with hints of coconut possibly the smallest hint of vanilla but mainly you smell the fruit and floral the scent is delicate and I would not say it lasts a long time but it is sweet yummy and I am thinking popular. If you like juicy sweet especially fruity smells I think you will really like this as the scent goes on you get the warmer "woody" notes yet it still smells sweet. I once had a Chi chi shimmer spray I think it was mango and this smell reminded me of it although it is not the same. Nice and exotic ideal to wear in summer but it would warm up the office in the cooler months too and I think people would compliment it. This is not over powering either. Thanks BR.

I won a bottle a few weeks ago and took it overseas with me. I love the shape of the turquoise coloured bottle, to me it's shaped like a large single chain link which is pretty cool, but I do need to double check the angle that I'm pointing at whenever I'm going to spray. The initial smell I get when first sprayed on is a light citrus smell that quickly evolves into a passionfruit fragrance and then all I smell after that is passionfruit which I like very much. Sadly this fragrance does fade on me pretty quickly. In summary, the bottle is awesome but the fragrance, well, it's nice but nothing special.

Where do I start? Everything about this fragrance screams quality. From the beautiful box it comes in, to the fragrance.

It is the most beautiful aqua, green colour, the box, the bottle and the fragracne, along with silver accents.

The bottle is hard to describe, I have thought long and hard as to how to describe and have come up with, it is like two doughnuts entwined.

The scent,woody, fresh ocean breeze, summer days with passionfruit. Just delicious. I dont think it would suit a younger lady, it is quite a grown up scent.

I own a lot of perfumes and I dont have an actual favourite, it all depends on the day and my mood as to which scent I will use for the day. This one I often use on gorgeous summer days where I feel carefree and maybe at the beach or walking in a park.

This fragrance is an Eau De Toilette which is not as intense or long lasting as an Eau De Parfum but I am still happy with the staying power. I will always re apply throughout day to keep the scent alive.

Fruity and floral and definitely suited to summer days! I purchased this and didn't have the intention of it ending up being an 'everyday' perfume like some of my cheaper strawberrynet purchases. A spay on a card deceived me!! Although it's a happy fresh scent I didn't feel it had a lot of depth or that is lasted too long on my skin.

5 kisses to would I use again 4 kisses to did it do as it said 5 kisses to would I recommend

On vault day i had my fingers crossed for this fragrance. I even went to trial it in a department store to make sure I would enjoy the fragrance. First impression in store was fruity orange yet chocolate. The sales girl couldn't tell me anything about it. She was doing the sniff test and it's just not a fragrance you can put your finger on. I left with it on a test strip in my bra. By the time I got home the fragrance had well and truly vanished.

First impressions on having it to own.. the box is lovely. Simple graphics. The bottle is a unusual shape. It doesn't have a lid as such. You press a part of the bottle and it squirts. Seems to take me a few looks finding the hole. I do like how it lays on the dresser, different to a standard bottle.

The fragrance... I was taught from my mother to spray clothes with the fragrance, it stays true and last longer. Apparently skin can alter the fragrance. Her skin used to change many to a rancid smell. So a habit I got into. Well it's with a heavy heart that I say this fragrance doesn't last long. Not on clothes or skin. 2 hours maximum. Doesn't matter how many squirts I apply. I like to get wiffs of fragrance on my clothing. This is where I am let down. It means I will go through a bottle very quickly.

Somehow the fragrance is a light fruity yet heavy chocolate at the same time. Sounds unusual, it is!

I was so happy to get this from the recent vault since it's been on my wishlist ever since it came out! I love the bottle and it's creative design but I prefer perfumes that have lids because I feel as if that'll help keep for longer.

At first this is a very fresh and fruity smell, almost a tiny bit sharp. But then it 'warms up' a bit and sweetens more. This reminds me of beach holidays and for some reason the versace yellow diamonds perfume. As it dies down it sweetens even more and becomes a slightly more mature scent. The really sad thing about this which really bums me out is that it's and EDT, which meant it didn't last very long at all. Even when I stay indoors and don't move about much this will be gone within a couple hours. Really wish they made an EDP version of this because it's a really lovely scent.
