Bulgari Omnia Coral Review

I was very lucky to nab this in the December beauty vault (thank you so much BR) and it very quickly pushed my favourites to the back of the collection. I love this scent and it has become my favourite summer scent. Most of my perfumes are very sweet and strong that seemed to have been somewhat intensified with the warmer weather. When the courier bag arrived I could barely contain my excitement. i opened up the box and was greeted by the most unusually funky bottle, think of a chain and how they interlock, and being this design makes it really easy to hold. The bottom “loop” if you will fits perfectly in the palm of your hand this is also where the perfume is and on the top “loop” is where the perfume sprays out after you gently press the top of the “loop”

I spray 2 sprays on my neck and in a second I feel summery and fresh the first note I am noticing is the sharp pomegranate and bergamot, it is fruity and citrusy and not overly sweet. As it settles I notice more of the bergamot and a floral that I can’t put my finger on and then finally a cedar wood peppery note that ties everything in beautifully. It is a really well balanced perfume where everything works in harmony together. I was surprised at how long this lasts for an EDT it lasts a good 6-7 hours on me before I need a top up, definitely worth it and I even think I will repurchase it once I have run out.

So, if you have read any of my other reviews, you would know I love perfume, and because of this, my family and friends often gift me perfume. In this case, this was a fragrance my sister received and passed onto me because she didn't like the design of the bottle.

The Bvlgari Omnia Coral is designed like two circles that sit on top of each other and fit together like a puzzle piece. The fragrance name is reflected in the coral like colour of the bottle. The bottom circle is the part of the bottle that holds the perfume, and that is made of glass, whereas the top circle of the bottle is used as the button to release the perfume (which is done by pushing the whole top circle down), and this feels like it’s made of plastic. The label Bvlgari is imprinted on the metal sides of the bottle and this makes it easy to remember the brand so I think Bvlgari has done that part well. However, although the design of the bottle is easy to use, fun and a unique design, I’m not a fan of the overall appearance of the bottle as I think its looks a bit cheap.

So the important part about the perfume; the smell. Well I’m mostly a floral girl myself, so this perfume was a bit different for me. I would say this perfume is like little butterflies kissing my skin. Its light, fruity and gentle and is a taste of summer in a bottle. This fragrance gets a cool floral hint which gives this fragrance a nice depth, and balances the fruity tones ensuring this perfume is not sickly sweet and after a while this fragrance gets a slight woody note which is an aspect I have never been able to smell in a perfume until I used this one. Its reasonably long lasting, and I get whiffs of this delicate scent throughout the day, although I do reapply it once or twice during the day.

Would I repurchase this for myself? At the moment, I still have a quarter of a bottle left of this fragrance, and once I run out, I probably won’t consider rebuying this in the near future. This is not a fragrance I would have chosen for myself, and even after using it, it is not one of my top 3 perfume choices, even though I do like using this in the warmer months, However, there are so many other perfumes I want to try, so I might rebuy this is a few years, but right not it’s not on my repurchasing list.

However, if you are someone who likes fun perfumes that are light, fruity, slightly floral with woody after notes, this is something I would recommend.

This comes in a coral coloured box plain but attractive, lurking inside is my bottle of 65 mils of eau de toilette. The bottle is weird in shape two flat circles interlocking into each other if you twisted them around they would make the figure 8 coral in colour with silver on the edges, and you push the one down with the opening and the perfume sprays out. A silly bottle in my opinion but feels really lovely to hold it just fits into the palm of my hand ever so comfy it's just so nice to hold. This is a fruity floral not a scent I'd usually go for but here I am the proud owner. The first note to hit me is a biting bergamot sweet and sharp and it hits me right in the back of my throat, the hibiscus and pomegranate I can smell in it and then it deepens down to a bitter fruit like sour berries and ends up a woody floral. The fruit is deep enough so nothing a wasp would chase me for, so definitely not sweet. I find it a complicated scent and it has a few layers to the fragrance, I prefer it when I've had it on for a good half hour. This scent lasts on me quite well four or five hours before a top up is needed and I find it's a warm feminine scent. For me a perfume for all seasons day through to night, I do get compliments on this when I wear it and I do like it, I find it unique in its scent, It's not a scent that I would repurchase as it won't make my favourites list, even though I do like it there are way too many perfumes for me to keep purchasing. It's good value as the scent stays strong for hours.

The perfume is heady but without being overpowering. I love the bergamot fragrance, and I find the smell to be both familiar and new at the same time, I really like this fragrance, its perfect for summer, and makes me feel happy when I wear it, the water lily element brightens it up and makes it lighter. It's definitely on my re purchase list, in fact I don't want to run out of it!! I would love to get a shower gel or body cream to layer this, its just what I have been looking for. Understated elegance at it's best.

I was lucky enough to pick this up in the last Beauty Vault.

I'll start with the look, because the two interlocking loops of this bottle is what makes the Bvlgari Omnia range particularly distinct. I'm not sure if they are supposed to symbolize something like eternity but the look is very different from any other bottle I can think of making it quite innovative. However it is also still classy which is something that I really like a perfume bottle to be. The red of Omnia Coral is striking and stunning colour. It's probably my favourite lookwise and possibly scentwise too in the Omnia range.

What I don't like about the design is the practicality. That would be what brings its rating down for me. I don't like that I can't open and close the bottle and I also don't like how it sprays. When I spray it I don't feel I can control it like I can with other perfume bottles.

Scentwise, it is lovely. Omnia Coral is a fruity-floral, but for I get more of the floral through. I can't identify some of the flowers in this one, but the scent of the overall bouquet is lovely. It also has quite a fresh summer like feel to it, is subtle and slightly more youthful but neutral enough that it could be worn by anyone.

Thrilled to have it in my collection.

After reading Bexs review of this perfume I went to have a smell test at a fragrance sale. When I saw it pop up in the vault I was excited. I had been planning to save up for it. Luckily I was sucessful in getting this fragrance. When this arrieved to me it came in a fully sealed box. There was no giveaways from its packaging of how the bottle appeared.

This bottle is 40 mls in volume This bottle reminds me of two circles interlocking. This glass is clear with a vibrant coral red orage colour which feels thick and luxurios. This scent reminds me of a combination of fresh fruity berries mixed with a boquet of floral flowers. This reminds of being on a tropical island .

When I tested this fragrance I sprayed it on my wrist. At first scent I can detect fresh floral flowers as it slowly develops I can smell this fruity tropical berries shinning through.

Even though this bottle is awkwardly shaped I find pleasure in placing this fragrance amongst my other bottles. This scent lasted me a maximun of 7-8 hours wear time. The longest time I've ever had. I believe this fragrance is worth its price tag. I would love to buy this again along with other versions from the Omnia range.
