Today I finally gave it a try. It smells like that "Lipton" - green tea Orient... it is not so bad, but not good at all, too.... just not my cup of tea.

when I sprayed it on my wrist it was heaven, woodsy, spicy just a hint of sweetness. but the drydown was disappointing, spices and sweet note that reminds me of chocolate - which I would like, but it's very very flat. omnia has not much of a staying power, you can feel it after a few hours but it's very weak.

I love this unique scent. This is in my top 3. Actually this is the first bottle of fragrance that I actually finished. A light, woody, skin scent. Dries down to a sheer warm scent that I feel would not offend anyone. Love the bottle.

On me, this was plain ole cedar. Nothing else. Just cedar. Maybe cedar with a hint of smoke. I don't know where people are getting chocolate from. I know that's one of the listed notes, but I'm just not getting it. Boo. The bottle is spectacular. Also, spectacularly hard to open. I got a mini of it, and there is truly a diagram on the box top. Nonetheless, I decanted the juice and plan on adding the bottle to my collection.

The EDP and the lotion are AMAZING. Omnia is not a super strong fragrance so don't expect to take over the room w/ your perfume But people definitely can smell it and it lasts quite long- when it takes on a nice sweet white chocolate/ powder base.

I tried this at Marshall Field's but wasn't sure. I love spice, wood, tea and chocolate scents. I finally bought a big tester bottle on Ebay for under $30, which was a steal.

I like the scent a lot. It is unique and exotic. And I don't really mind the alien UFO designed bottle. The thing is, many dept. store fragrances give me a headache. I think many of them contain chemicals and preservatives. I felt sligthly allergic to this one when I sprayed it right onto my skin.

I like the fragrance enough to spray my closet and coats with it. I know this is weird. But I can detect a subtle hint of this fragrance when I pull my winter coat or jean jacket out of the closet, and it doesn't bother me to put on another fragrance with this light essence floating in my clothes.

So as far as dept. store fragrances go, I think this one is great. I like Prada as well. But I don't love these fragrances as much as some of the fine French perfume house fragrances I wear.

I love L'Artisan Tea For Two & Dzing!, Serge Lutens Fumerie Turque & Daim Blond. I am also a L'Occitane Vetyver fan, and they just moved it to the men's line!

They've finally done it--a bottle so weird, it requires a diagram to get it open (no kidding, there really is a drawing with arrows on the inside of the box). And even then, I had to wrench it apart, forgetting I was dealing with a splash, not a spray, and got Omnia all over my hand, so I'm sampling it today, like it or not. Luckily, I do like it. Woodsy, musky, just enough chocolate to make it temptingly edible, and a luscious smoky note. This is the only scent with tea I haven't hated.

Not totally what I expected...all I smell is cedar, flat-out cedar. It's not sweet to me in the least, nor is it musky. Very woodsy, almost masculine. It lasted pretty much all day on me (of course it did, only because I didn't love it).

Omnia is a soft, spicy musk-wood fragrance. Spiced tea, citrus, musk,
chocolate, vanilla, subtle woods, even a shy note of almond.
Compare Omnia to Le Baiser du Dragon as two almondy-spicy-wood
fragrances - very different. Omnia would make a nice cold weather
comfort scent for the musk-chai lovers. Can easily be heady and
overwhelming if you get too much on, but in tiny amounts, it's
surprisingly *clean* and cozy. I use a small rollerball decant to give
me the control I want on amount. Lasts well on me, as do all of the
Bvlgari fragrances. Omnia could easily be worn by a man or woman.
As a shared fragrance, it would make the whole house smell good.
UPDATE early 2011 - Omnia has been reformulated and the drydown
was a scrubber on me. An amazing magical scent destroyed by
reformulation. Changed my earlier rating of 5 to 1.

This is one of my favourite perfumes ever. I love woddy scents for winter. The only minus is the lasting power, or should I say the disappearing speed. Nevertheless, I will keep buying it because the scent is unique.

I like this. But. Here is another classic example of a Bvlgari perfume that could have been so, so so much more. I want this scent to be more complex; I want the individual notes to shine through. Instead I get a nice, woodsy blend. A non-sexual, slightly masculine, woody scent, which is nice. But it could have been more than just nice. The sculpture of a bottle is more than nice.notes: Mandarin, Saffron, Masala Tea, and White Chocolate

I have to start out by saying I am very, very picky about perfume. I have a hard time finding anything that doesn't cause my throat to burn when I wear it. This is my all-time favorite fragrance. It is the ONLY perfume I've ever run out of. When the first small bottle ran out I purchased the large one. I have had nothing but compliments on this perfume. I haven't had a problem with the scent dissipating as others have. If Bvlgari ever discontinues this, I fear I will have a nervous breakdown.

This is one of my staple scents and I've gotten many compliments on it! IMO it's a soft and woody skin scent. The lasting strength is pretty good and I'm looking into getting the lotion to layer it with. I think the bottle is very unique also. I've been using this almost everyday for 3 months and still loving it.

This is light and woody and very, very fleeting on me. I got a sample spray and used most of it up in one day because I had to keep spraying to capture the scent. It's a warm skin scent but didn't really grab me, especially since it doesn't seem to last more than 30 minutes or so. I have that problem with most Bvlgari scents unfortunately.

I have a deluxe mini bottle of this wonderful fragrance. The bottle, like the fragrance, is unique and mysterious. Opening it is a mystery, but that's part of the fun. This fragrance is subtle, soft woody/spicy, but soft,soft, soft. I could swear I get a faint hint of sweet tobacco coming out, but it comes and goes, blending with soft wood and chocolate. This fragrance is unique, and if it agrees with your chemistry, definitely worth having in your collection. This fragrance perfectly captures autumn, in my opinion. This smells soft, complex, sexy, yummy, and the men will be loving you. Something about this has some melty, warm SKIN quality that I find difficult to describe.

Mmmmm! This is my favorite perfume ever. The smell is so unique. It almost reminds me of how a woman should naturally smell. My boyfriend goes crazy when I wear it. It is pretty expensive, and the bottle looks decieving- it holds less than you think. Fragrances smell different on everyone, but for me, this one smells AMAZING

This is my perfect perfume for the colder seasons. Sophisticated, not too sweet, excellent staying power. I also love it for its originality; too many perfumes out there smell exactly identical to my nose. Plus, bottle is gorgeous, too. I wish it had been a tad cheaper, though.

I gave Omnia a whirl the other day while with my toddler. On the BVLGARI Web site, Omnia has this description:

saffron, ginger, cardamom and black pepper imbue OMNIA with fascination and mystery. Mandarin gives it solar freshness. Prized Masala tea, at the heart of the fragrance, blends in the taste of the orient. White chocolate and Indian wood add a touch of unexpected deliciousness.

What I noticed was a smoky note, not at all like the masala tea I know, or any gooc chai. It smelled great on the BVLGARI rep, but not on me.
