Bvlgari Omnia Coral ~ perfume review
It’s not unheard of for a flanker to outsell the original pillar fragrance, and I have a feeling that’s the case with Bvlgari’s Omnia. Bvlgari did not include Omnia in their Bvlgari Charms collection (adorable 25 ml travel bottles of most of Bvlgari’s feminine line; see image below far right), although Omnia Green Jade, Omnia Améthyste and Omnia Crystalline all made the cut. The advertising for the latest in the series, Omnia Coral, also includes nods to Omnia Améthyste and Omnia Crystalline, so I’m going to assume those two are the biggest sellers of the bunch, and that Green Jade is perhaps next?
I’d also guess that the original Omnia is the perfumista favorite.1 It’s certainly mine, although I do like Crystalline as well. Green Jade and Améthyste are pleasant enough but I can live without them, and the same is true of the new Coral. Coral is the first fruity floral in the group, and the first fruity floral for Bvlgari. They’re late to the category, of course. By way of apology, perhaps, perfumer Alberto Morillas (he did all of the Omnia series, including the original) noted that it was fruity, “but in a very Bvlgari way”.2
The opening is sweet and tart nonspecific “red fruits”…

More limited edition collector fragrance bottles, with the usual disclaimers: in most of these cases, the juice is unchanged, just the bottle is “special” (or not, as the case may be), and some of these may not be available in the US.
