Omnia vs Hypnotic Poison

The Bvlgari Omnia line is highly regarded by the community for its elegant, fresh-floral character and beautiful packaging that appeals to many wearers. The main drawback is poor skin longevity and weak sillage, though the fragrance performs better on clothing. The original brown Omnia is particularly beloved but difficult to source since discontinuation.

Hypnotic Poison is a divisive fragrance with devoted fans and skeptics. While older formulations were praised for depth and longevity, recent batches are noticeably weaker and reformulated. The scent's gourmand profile (almond, vanilla) appeals to some but the initial notes (often described as root beer, playdough, or rubber) are off-putting to others, making it highly dependent on personal skin chemistry and preference.
