Omnia Crystalline
Bvlgari Omnia Crystalline Eau de Toilette Gift Set is one of the more broadly acceptable fragrance presents, for the straightforward reason that almost nobody objects to a clean, cool, green scent.
What is inside smells of water and leaves. Bamboo gives the opening a green, cut stem freshness, pear softens it with a little juice, and the pair of them set a tone that stays light the whole way through. Lotus follows with an aquatic clarity, tea adds a dry leafy edge, and cassia slips a mild spiced warmth underneath. The finish is musk, guaiac wood and oakmoss, which between them give it a laundered softness, a faint dry smoke and a green earthiness.
As a gift this works best for someone who already finds most perfume too strong. It is quiet, it is unmistakably from a serious house, and it is far more likely to be used up than left on a shelf. It also photographs well, which matters more with a boxed set than anyone admits. Eight materials, arranged with no drama in them at all, make it about as uncontroversial as fragrance gets.
Worth mentioning to the recipient: this is a warm weather fragrance and it is at its best in daylight. The eau de toilette concentration is light on purpose, so a few sprays through the day are expected rather than a sign of weakness. Alberto Morillas is credited with the composition, which dates from 2005.
Bvlgari has been a jewellery name in Rome since 1884, when Sotirio Bulgari, a Greek trained silversmith, opened his first shop. Coloured stones, Serpenti and the house's watch designs carried it abroad, into Europe and then America, in the early 1970s, and perfume arrived in 1992. It sits within LVMH.
