Bvlgari
A unique visual signature based on accords, character, and seasonality
Bergamot and goji berry emerge in a blur of soft sweetness, the citrus already muted by the composition's pervasive synthetic sheen, creating an impression of fruit juice viewed through Vaseline-smeared glass rather than anything with genuine aromatic definition.
Hibiscus and water lily converge into a creamy, wan floral mass that drifts somewhere between tropical and generic aquatic, with pomegranate attempting to add weight from below but arriving too diffuse to register as anything beyond vague sweetness layered atop the synthetic base.
Cedarwood arrives as an afterthought, offering barely-there woodiness that fails to anchor the composition; the fragrance retreats to skin-scent territory, becoming a powdery blur of sweetness that requires sniffing one's own wrist to detect.
Omnia Coral exemplifies the particular challenge of aquatic fruity florals: how to render coral as a scent when the colour itself refuses translation into aroma. Bvlgari and Alberto Morillas sidestep this by constructing something closer to a sun-warmed fruit bowl threaded with damp white flowers—less reef, more resort poolside.
The goji berry and bergamot opening suggests vitality without sharpness; these are soft fruits, their citric edges already blurred by what feels like a synthetic gloss that dominates the composition. This sweetened veneer proves both the fragrance's accessibility and its central limitation. Where one might anticipate crisp bergamot snap, there's instead a diffused, almost powdered brightness—the olfactory equivalent of looking at the sun through frosted glass.
