Description
Bvlgari presents a new addition to the Omnia collection in October 2015, the fragrance called Omnia Paraiba, named after Brazilian semi-precious stone Paraiba Tourmaline, known for its blue – green color. The fragrance is an exotic floral – fruity and woody.
Perfumer Alberto Morillas focused on passion flower scent, inspired by Brazilian jungle, beaches and ocean. Bigarade (bitter) orange and Maracuja passion fruit open the composition and lead to the floral heart of passion flower and Brazilian gardenia. The base notes include vetiver and cocoa.
The face of the perfume is model Edita Vilkeviciute. The fragrance is available as 25, 40 and 65 ml Eau de Toilette.
eexperion – :
Very fruity and tropical summer scent. Nothing bad to say about it. I got a mini for free and really enjoyed it when I smelled it for the first time. It is also the first omnia I have ever tried. I unfortunately got it after summer and have gotten to wear it much because it’s not much of a fall scent. I can’t wait to throw it in my purse next summer and see if it is something I would be interested in purchasing in a bigger bottle. I will come back next summer to add on.
yvkuch – :
Blind buy. It is fruity but with something sharp at the opening. On my skin it settles as fruit mixed with soft washing powder (seriously). It is pleasant, but it might turn sour on clothes. Summer scent, indeed. And if scents had colours, Paraiba would definitely be the sea-blue/turquoise shade of its bottle.
givi2.6 – :
Bvlgari Paraiba comes in a pretty bottle that’s surprisingly hard to open. Maybe it’s my aging hands but that little top never fails to give me conniptions … and the stuff inside is barely worth the effort. Thin and light, there’s almost no substance to Paraiba. The best I can say is that the fragrance is unisex, but that’s faint praise. The only other Bvlgari scent I own is Diva, so it’s no wonder pale Paraiba fails to thrill.
P. fits the bill if a fresh scent is needed, but there are lots of similar frags out there, some with stronger lasting powers. I managed to spill a fair amount on my bedroom floor because of the damn cap and there’s no odor! Wth? It’s like I spilled water, not perfume.
I’m disappointed by Paraiba and will pass it on to someone else.

If his ex whom he is “just friends with” had a signature scent; this would be it.
Raccown – :
It literally smells like tropical fruits and MANGOES!
hbrmqlxffdMV – :
I strongly second ladyjm89’s assessment. Such poor longevity it’s hardly worth it. It’d be a gorgeous fragrance if it lasted more than an hour.
Sound_1 – :
I bought the .84 size on sale at TJ Maxx, after sampling it elsewhere. This has a similar happy fresh sweet fruity casual summer vibe as Marc Jacobs Daisy Eau So Fresh, but more exotic.
Smells a bit like tropical Starburst candies. Medium projection, yet on a hot (85 degrees F) day, its lasting power has been 10 HOURS!!!!
Scent: 8/10
Uniqueness: 9/10
Projection: 8/10
Longevity: 9.5/10
Versatility: 2/10
I wore this scent with a light cotton aqua dress, carved Chinese turquoise and freshwater pearl silver jewelry, sunglasses, a wide-brimmed sunhat with a filmy aqua-and-blue patterned scarf tied around it, and metallic sandals.
AirTot – :
I nabbed a 2.2 oz bottle of this for $13.50. I thought I was getting a steal! What I got was five minutes of a gently tropical, fruity floral scent that quickly vanished without a trace!
I get this is an edt, but I own edts that last 8 hours! This was barely five minutes! End conclusion is; it smells nice, but not for long. Not worth full retail! Wouldn’t go out of my way to buy it again.
Scent 7/10
Sillage 4/10
Longevity 6/10
Andrey1985 – :
It’s a 38 c hot summer day like this showed me Paraiba’s real strength.
Paraiba smells unprecedentedly fresh!
I can guarantee the hotter it is, the fresher Paraiba smells!
When all you can see and feel on the streets is the heat, sweat, and intensity of humidity, Paraiba is that high note of clean Passion fruit, happy, singing juice next to you wherever you go. It makes the day “lighter”. Makes you feel like you and your clothes are clean all day while everyone else are struggling from sweating.
I am so happy I wore this today, very very ozonic and bubbly.
It was a gift and it smelled alright so I kept it. The plastic designed bottle looked comparably cheap compared to other bottles so I don’t choose Paraiba often, luckily today I wanted a switch from my normal hot-day perfumes.
Altayir – :
I like the initial blast of fruit. It smells like grapefruit to me rather than passion fruit, but it dries down to a powdery fragrance that I’m not that fond of. I got the sampler set at T.J. Maxx, and the little bottles are ridiculous to open, and I end up spilling a bunch when I do get it open. I don’t like the way the big bottles dispense the perfume either, but all in all I am fond of many perfumes from this house.
molokada – :
My sister bought Omnia Paraiba last week. Both of us love Blvgari fragrances, but she prefers the Omnia series, while I’m more into their ‘noir’ offerings. Paraiba is a very nice salty/tropical/exotic scent; it’s a bit fruitier in the beginning, but then it dries down to mineral salty goodness. It is not particularly strong, but it lasts over 8 hours non stop. Kudos to maestro Albert Morillas for another beautiful creation.
Agressor – :
This was a blind buy for me at as a left over gift box set. I’m pleasantly surprised by its oceanic, tropical scent. A nice beachy, citrus type of fragrance for summer.
garryn – :
So many tropical notes, and delicate fruity floral fragrance in result. Not catchy( Disappointment(((
romario2080 – :
An average scent. nothing special. I have crystalline as well. Nice enough smells but just nice. Nothing outstanding.
linyan – :
Delicious salty goodness, and is still going strong nine hours later. Hardly anything lasts on me, ever! I don’t really get fruits here, but salt, herbs, aquatic floral, and some type of white woods. “Paraiba” smells a lot like Jo Malone’s “Wood Sage & Sea Salt,” but not as sweet. It’s also similar to “Ocean Dreams” (Giorgio Beverly Hills version, not the Designer Parfums, Ltd. one), but sadly not as floral, and is slightly muskier.
The search for a clone of GBH’s “Ocean Dreams” continues.
arif84 – :
This smells like POG in perfume form. If you don’t know what POG is it’s a juice mix that’s popular in Hawaii composed of passionfruit, orange, and guava juice (or at least the artificial flavors of it). This smells like POG juice mixed with a fresh aquatic perfume.
If you’re familiar with Escada fragrances you can get an idea of what this smells like. First time I sprayed it I immediately thought of Escada. Has a similar vibe to an Escada, but take it up a notch in how refined it smells. Escada scents tend to smell overly sweet or sometimes artificial. This has a similar fruity vibe but it’s clean and tropical and fresh. It doesn’t get overtly sweet or cloying or chemically or syrupy as a lot of fruity sweet scents do.
I like it. I’ve gone through a few samples of it (for some reason this has been a frequent free sample when I order stuff online) and it’s different from the typical overly sweet fruit scents that dominate the market. Because of its tropical vibe it’s different from the orange/grapefruit scents that dominate the citrus fragrance market. And as someone who isn’t too fond of coconut, it’s a tropical summary fragrance option without coconut (which can be hard to find). Despite the fruitiness, it’s distinctly aquatic but it doesn’t turn into a shower/soapy or household cleaner or generic men’s cologne type of aquatic scent, it just stays fresh, like the air above a clean pool of water surrounded by big green leafy plants on a hot day.
SB – :
Even though I tried to convince myself that I already have lots of fruity perfumes, I couldn’t resist such a delicious perfume.
It starts with a blast of tropical fresh fruits. I can’t name anything in particular, but it’s a funny, happy smelling that I never get tired of smelling.The combination of passion fruit and passion flower was a cool idea.In some stages it smells like a fresh version of hypnose lancome, which shares passion flower and some others notes with it. I don’t get any cacao,but I wish I could, as I’m a fan of cacao note.
I believe omnia paraiba is the best one in omnia series and I mean it even considering their different characters. This one is comparable with escada perfumes and I say it as a compliment. because I know not many people adore escada fruity punches. but I think even those would not mind smelling omnia paraiba, as it’s better than most escada and other fruity perfumes.
I’ve always found omnia bottles strange, but turquoise is definitely my favorite color and it matches the perfume inside very well.
Unfortunately like all of other bvlgari perfumes, this one has not a great sillage and weak to moderate long lasting power.
RCdrifter – :
I first sensed this aqua colored omnia on a friend and it smelled lovely….Since then I’ve spared it in the back of my head for later.
Found a 20ml for cheaps and snagged it.
It is not that fruity start on me, just fresh poolside aqua
freshness that after a while meltes pretty easy on my skin,
to a warm womanly body scent.
Wich I now can see reading notes – must be the gardena and chocolate mix. I love it on me and the only minus might be …disapearance! Might also suit me so well and therefor don’t bother me as much – since I love most of the Morillas creations
riddance – :
It’s not that I dislike Paraiba it’s just that it seems so untypical for bvlgari and Alberto Morillas to create a fragrance such as this. It is nice and fruity but in my mind something that a celebrity perfume or body spray would smell like. I prefer classier fragrances such as Omnia Crystalline but if I was gifted this fragrance i would probably use it for the beach.
andrushafulger – :
This reminds me packaged tropical fruit mix juice scent. Only this perfume isn’t that sugary sweet as juice and here are added bit more lemon and “blue-ish green”. Actually this also reminds me little bit something about house cleaners, but it’s not that disturbing. Probably I get this association because of that perfumery “blue”. There is something synthetic about this all, but never the less it’s nice tropical summer scent. Not too sweet and with refreshing “breeze”. On my skin then there is more lemon, then less. With time lemon becomes more scratchy and I can sense cacao. Just nice summer day perfume.
kondrat – :
This is a diet version of Nirmala. Both are centered around passionfruit. They are really similar, except that one is super sweet and heavy and the other is clean.

Treathota – :
I was at Saphora recently I finally tested this because other places never had testers and usually I will purchase bvlgari un tested but going by reviews, there was something I just didnt trust with this 1. Just as well I tested it because on paper and on skin there is an offputting smell lurking in this almost like dirt or potting mix. A no for me I cannot stand that problem with this. I will try it again when I have time in case I tested a bad bottle or my nose was off its game but the reviewers who say they smell cat pee, please dont take them offensively as it could prevent you from being very disappointed I can definitely see what they are referring to.
vek002speagoessenda – :
This is a blast of passionfruit to begin, and stays that way for the first hour. The sillage is arm’s length on me, and I feel like walking, talking tropical punch.
LANGER – :
To me, this is quite a unique fragrance in the fruity category and it is beautifully blended. This is very tropical, but not in the usual coconut and white florals way. The passion fruit in this is gorgeous. Sillage is about a foot on me and it lasts all day. I’m not sure what occasion I would wear this to, maybe a nice picnic in the summer heat.
hexade88 – :
Passionfruit+ bitter orange = cat piss. On my skin at least. I can still kinda like this in a way because I get where it can be really tropical citrus fresh and great but I just don’t think I can get past the cat pee vibe.
UPDATE: oddly enough despite the cat pee opening, I really like this, the more I wear it the more I want it, so FB here I come :p
This smells especially great layered with Kenzo Jungle L’Elephant
defender007 – :
I bought a bottle several months ago, and I LOVE it! I have received So Many compliments – especially from men! The first time I wore it, a man stopped me to tell me how much he really liked my perfume. He told me that “it was causing [his] endorphins to kick in.” LOL
FVA – :
My verdict is that I like the scent overall but am not in love. It is a bit too green/herbal for me with a slight lean towards a perfumey fresh aquatic note that I don’t usually care for. I didn’t pick up much of the tropical fruits and florals, although it is a bit softer and muskier on the drydown, while I like. It was super strong and almost overwhelming for the first hour or so. Strong sillage that radiates outward so I wouldn’t recommend wearing it around those who are known to be sensitive to fragrance. I think this fragrance will linger for several hours. If you are interested in a long lasting aquatic/green scent, I would definitely recommend it.
incuMmivitimb – :
Ó meu Deus! This fragrance: I almost have no words. It is one of the most gorgeous scents I have ever experienced. If this is Brasilia in a bottle, I can’t wait to visit!
Imagine the most gorgeous day by a glistening aqua coastline, where the azure water laps softly against the white sand. A gardenia sits in your hair while you sip on a sweet, effervescent passion fruit concoction with a passion flower on the rim. All is beautiful with the world while you watch the ocean, sip your drink, and the breeze brings you an olfactory experience that can only be described as paradise.
Upon first spritz, the opening is sharp and gloriously tangy with bitter orange intermingled with passion fruit and passion flower. This smells delightfully fun and flirty, and in true Bvlgari fashion, it smells expensive.
As it warms, the fruitiness succumbs to a watery, yet non-ozonic, tropical film on the skin. After a few hours, it lingers and smells warmly, fruity fresh (this is the cacao pod), and everyone who walks by you will want to come in for a closer sniff.
aa12.a – :
I was so excited to finally locate a tester for this. I’ve been meaning to try it for ages.
Unfortunately, this is one Omnia that I don’t care for.
I found the orange note very sharp, not like the creamy orange in Indian Garnet. The passionfruit was overwhelming and continued as such well into the drydown.I got some guava note too. All in all I found this one very linear.
Going to give this a pass.
ANoneS – :
This one is very nice.
I didn´t liked the opening very much, it was an intense, soap-like bitter orange that blew out everything else, but i gave it some time and it developed beautifully. It started then to smell deliciously,a very elegant creamy fruitiness. At this point i can´t detect any particular note, everything is so well blended. It smells expensive and exotic. and it actually did reminded me of my home country, Brazil. so, they made this perfume the right way.
Thumbs up for Omnia Paraíba.
kir9s – :
Oh man, I could wear this every day in the summer! It is in that wonderful Passionfruit-Peach-Nectarine category that I love. Succulent and juicy but not just a fruit perfume! An expensive tropical vacation.
In true Fragrantica fashion, people are smelling totally different things in this scent. I get that everyone’s nose is different, but Hairspray? Bubblegum? Hawaiian Punch? I used to think that me not picking up on notes like these meant I didn’t have a sophisticated nose. But, I am beginning to think it’s associations people have with scents rather than those components being actually present. I could see how this would remind one of bathroom freshener with pictures of mangos on the label, but it’s so much more than that. Not incredibly unique but a surprise from this brand IMO.
DR_DRON – :
I love anything in the citrus aromatic group of fragrances despite the fact that they tend to have little longevity and very poor sillage. Having said that, I STILL ADORE them and Paraiba is no exception!
Its notes are a bit deceiving in that as usual Bvlgari does a stunning job of exquisite blending so the final aroma is a tropical melange of fresh, sweet and floral.
I can only imagine how wonderful this would be in hot weather!
A definite must for me.
bigGmaste – :
The branding of the “Paraiba” is just so spot on. The opening notes really do conjure images of Brazilian nature and vivacious women.
Passionfruit and passion flower are strong and smell like the real thing. After dry down beautiful vetiver comes out and STAYS for a long time.
I don’t think you can ever go wrong with a Bvlgari perfume. The quality and longevity of this sophisticated perfume surpassed many.
medet_1994 – :
Lots of passion flower and passion fruit + some breeze (even though there is nothing watery or ocean-salty in the pyramid).
If you find passion fruit scent attractive – go for it, however, like I said, it’s “lighter” and more breezy than simply fruit.
Not long lasting, moderate, I’d say.
666FFF – :
Completely mysterious for me. I didn’t like it at the start, or at least didn’t find it anything particular, then I bought a 10 ml sample and found myself using it up and missing it. So I bought a 25 ml bottle, and now I’m on the verge of buying a backup. I love the Omnia series, but I think 4 of the 8 are too tart and soapy for my liking. This also belongs to the tart and soapy group, but for some reason this one appeals to me. Top notes are sharp due to the citrus and passion fruit (WHY aren’t Blue Curacao, lime and pear listed here among the ingredients, although they are officially and definitely in the notes?), then it starts to soften, and in the end it becomes rounder and softer – possibly due to the cocoa bean -, but not too powdery or sweet. Some commenters say it has a vegetable-like quality to it, and I have to agree, but it only makes it more exciting for me. This scent is surprisingly fresh for me compared to my other favourite fragrances (which are all more powdery, spicy and a bit sweeter), and I’m sure I’ll enjoy it even more in the summer.
houpsquathCah – :
Smells like some window cleaner solution on very first spray. But, oh, it grows beautiful and refreshing in less than one hour. Definitely sweet (but not that sickly sweet) fruity fragrance, no aquatic/ozonic note whatsoever on me. It is like squeezing a handfull of tropical fruits and splash the juices right away onto the body.
docentsur13 – :
That bitter orange is the most ripest citrus scent i have ever smelled. In this Texas heat it blends beautifully!
masterbalans – :
Its extreeemely hot & humid here and Paraiba really cuts through that heat – very refreshing. This scent is a slightly synthetic “summer” fruity freshie devoid of the typical sunblock/coconut/tiare notes that I normally associate with tropical scents. Luckily, I don’t get any of the window cleaner smell some people have been writing about. Can’t detect the cacao or vetiver notes at all on my skin either, although it does get faintly woody in the drydown. Along with the ripe passionfruit note, Paraiba smells a lot like powdered guyabano/soursop juice mix to me. I agree with Bouquet that there is a faint sort of Hawaiian Punch vibe, but this doesn’t smell cheap and isn’t crazy sweet. It’s youthful and breezy. Sheer. Projection is decent. I enjoy the first two of hours of this scent the most. Like wearing this during the day or for casual nights out. Not really a fan of most omnia flankers, but I enjoy this one.
Random “update”: Recently wore this to a small garden wedding. The reception was outdoors and crazy hot (temp was 35c/95f and NO airconditioning/electric fans/wind – worst combination ever!!). It was absolutely SWELTERING and I swear this scent made the weather that night bearable. After the program, we all got so sweaty dancing and I was impressed by how well paraiba held up. I reapplied before dinner at around 7pm and I could still smell it on myself and on my dress when I got home at 3am. Kept me smelling and feeling fresh and it definitely made a fun night even more fun!
AlexCH35 – :
Like the Paraiba a lot! I did not like it initially, but I think it’s charm grows on you. The drydown’s gpod on me. I bring the bottle along because it does not last too long on my skin (most frags don’t anyways he he he!) Love the green of the bottle! Good buy if you ask me.
Bleach9072 – :
I was so excited about this one,and got myself a decant,as it’s a bit more than I like to pay to blind buy a fb.Well,I did initially enjoy the tropical vibe,and the uniqueness of it,but what a disappointment,in longevity and sillage,as they are both non-existent.I have a lot of Omnias,and besides Amethyst,like,if not love them all.But this one,which I am giving its second chance today,is a no-go for me.Too soft,and if I’m being 100% honest,smells like laundry detergent.Not that that is a bad thing,but for the price,I can just wash my clothes in Gain and have the same effect.
It’s a shame,as I love the color of the bottle,but not enough to shell out for one.Will finish my decant and be happy I didn’t blind buy this one.
DmitriBV – :
I enjoy wearing this EDT a lot.
It is light, feminin, easy to wear and remind me of summer… However I get Dolce&Gabbana “L’imperatrice 3” vibes from it!
SuncanaVuji – :
Beautiful but unique, watery tropical.
No sharp fruit
Not sure how floral
Lasted ok, for an EDT
I shall put on my want list
ЧЕЙЗ – :
I’ve had it for two months and it’s wonderful. It reminds me to Omnia Crystalinne in the middle notes and the ‘beach smell’ in the starting notes comes back in the heart notes. One of my best from my last discovers, but it should last a little bit more: at the end of the day it only comes up when you go to the shower.
I remember Aquazur from Lancaster as a very very long lasting but fresh perfume, so this can be done.
However, good bought.
maximkravets – :
Ok, I got a sample from Sephora (God bless them!). I can smell this beautiful clean, clean bitter orange, a somewhat tart, or sour if you will, note, that is really appealing to me. (the passion fruit?) The combination smell together is rather grapefruity which is totally great. Slightly tropical, all very subtle and very well put together. I had been concerned about the cacao smelling chocolaty, but not at all. The review down below actually cleared that up. I am finding a slight comparison to Moschino’s “Funny” (which actually is my signature scent,(if one does even have a sig scent with so many perfumes)- it must be the bitter orange in both, but the Paraiba has a much cleaner smell. All in all a very good scent!
maksimum – :
Soft, delicate tropical, with dominant maracuja fruit and flower. Naturally the maracuja is very sour and extremely flavourful, but here the perfume has some flowery aroma that removes the sourness and keeps the flavor The cocoa isn’t chocolate, and cacao fruit… Most people , unless they traveled to South America and other parts of the world where the cacao tree grows, don’t know the taste or raw cacao…. The seeds ( beans ) are covered in a juicy sweet mucus, and they are bitter inside. This perfume recreated amazingly this delicacy.
It is nothing like the fruity juicy Escada scents. It’s very delicate and diaphanous . Low silage and poor lasting power, but thrilling for me, as it remids me or some of my most memorable trips. A gorgoeus gourmand without vanilla, sugar, or patchouli.
slanenok1984 – :
Such a delight! Tropical and exotic. My misses could smell like this all day and it’ll rock my world. Perfect fragrance for a cocktail event or day at the beach.
lessnick1 – :
I wanted to love this so much since I have two Bvlgari Omnias already. I expected more since it has an expensive price and both my omnias have great scent and longetivity. This one is a different fragrance but for me, in my opinion, it smells like a car freshener! It does smell cheap compared to the other Omnias. I did not smell any Cacao though. Too bad I did not like it. Love the color and packaging though.
gip921speagoessenda – :
First I got a nice tropical vibe with flowers and fruits, but after a few seconds it changed to a carrot smell. I thought I was crazy, so I showed it to my husband and he agreed: it’s grated carrots with lemon juice. I felt like a tropical veggie soup wearing this one so I gave up testing, but it’s not offensive anyway. The bottle is gorgeous and a bit overpriced.
mysfugsDoug – :
I get a window cleaner and Trident gum (almost mint) smell from this one, too. It’s fresh and light but those notes are definitely there. Thank God for Fragrantica! It really helps to compare noses when judging fragrances. I just purchased more than 20 fragrances for summer. I will be reviewing each to narrow down some favorites.
Meaut832Unlogrere – :
Very summery and tropical,there is a lot of passion fruit to my nose which I really like and no cacao
Smells the same as trident bubble gums..the tropical fruits flavor and I don’t mind to smell just as such a nice smelling bubble gum,happy and youthful but not my most favorite omnia
kvadra1 – :
Not a fan of chocolate in my scents, makes me nauseated. Having said that I have not smelled this and that is what is holding me back from seeking it out- that darn cacao ingredient…. Sometimes ingredients are listed and you can barely smell them though…..can anyone tell me if this cacao is soft enough so I won’t care if it’s there?
bambr71 – :
I do love it when you smell something a bit different. This is different and yes it’s expensive but it smells expensive. It’s clean, feminine and definately has a Brazilian beach vibe going on. It settles and produces such a clean delicious waft. Some have said they get a ‘window cleaner’ smell. I think that may be the bitter orange note coming through but it doesn’t last and I didn’t think of window cleaner whilst I was smelling it, more passion fruit. The first spray is delicious, the middle notes are intriguing, then you go back for the beautiful dry down of clean cacao pod with a hint of vetiver along with the other notes creates a dreamy concoction of elegance well worth wearing and paying for.
drakulinko – :
I wanted a tropical scent for my birthday and I got one. It is everything I want in that sort of scent. It’s fruity, it’s got leafy notes. There’s greenness to it. That being said, let’s cut to the chase. The sillage and longevity are beyond disappointing and for the price tag of 66 dollars for 1.3 oz, I want something with a bit of kick. Maybe it’s my chemistry. I’m not sure but I wish I had known before I bought it.
fao863elipseskism – :
This is soooooo nice in the beginning; it’s tempting to buy as soon as you spray. It starts out sweet and tropical, but as it dries down, it gets screechy and sharp. A bit of a disappointment for me personally, but on people who like sharp citrusy scents, that’s exactly what it could come off as – sharp & citrusy (could be a good thing, depends on what you like)
Andrey-red – :
Finally, one Omnia I can actually enjoy!
I would certainly wear this in the summer months.
It’s not something extremely sophisticated,but rather a fun fruity-floral done right, with some brains, that draws attention upon you and makes you feel (care)free.
Good for summer nights, also. Moderate longevity on skin, but better lasting power on clothes.
I would buy it for this summer. Guilty.
pablogoa – :
Huh, I don’t know how I feel about this… I was so excited to try it, I love the Omnia series and just looking at the color of this one is mesmerizing. The good thing is that it’s different and doesn’t remind me of any other perfume. BUT… It does remind of, well, glass/window cleaner. All in all, it’s not a bad scent, it’s really fruity and summery but it isn’t something that great in my opinion.
wnuevljlvx – :
I was so anxious to try this one that I now regret to state that I’m feeling disappointed. It’s fresh and all, and that’s okay, but it’s kind of flat, I’d even say bland. I was expecting this juicy, delicious passion fruit, but all I get is curaçao blue. Not to mention its lasting power, far from deserving of the name “Bvlgari” from back in the day.
Krasnikovmax – :
I smell a creamy blend of passion fruit mango and blueberries- it is very yummy smelling slightly gourmand but tropical and fresh at the same time. It has a sort of bubblegum base note and an expensive clothes conditioner dry down which i really find pleasant. Just because a fragrance smells like clothes conditioner does not make it a bad thing pure poison also smells like clothes conditioner and it is a masterpiece. This reminds me of baking and bakery of mango and blueberry tart – it smells very tart to me but is fresh and juicy also- I really love it I have never tried anything like this – when i smell this I am in paradise it is beautiful . the definition of a little heaven on earth!!
tart ripe fresh juicy fruity and oceanic- it is mouthwatering!
My favourite of the Bvlgari Omnia line- I also like Coral but not enough to buy- this one is very unique so I bought it. It is unique among my collection so mouthwatering and tart.

I think this one is very lovely for summer. I’m not sure where it’s coming from, but I get a slight sunscreen smell from it sometimes. It reminds me of a summery day walking on the beach. At certain points I also get a fresh clean shower scent. The passion fruit is there for sure and sweet but not too much sweet. It’s not very bold and not a night time scent in my opinion. Perfect light, clean, fresh summer scent for day.
Terun – :
For me …te best fragrance for summer 2016, and I have a lot of summer fragracies. When I wear it i feel free, fresh and nothing is impossible. Also man like it 🙂
jeanne123 – :
We had 28 degrees here in Italy today so I wore Paraiba to see how it performs in the heat, it is really enjoyable and lovely plus I was complimented on how good I smelled.It becomes sweeter with time but it also has a very attractive fresh side.
Also sillage is just perfect and longevity is about four hours but after that it becomes a skin scent.
This could easily become a summer signature if you love floral fruity done right
StedfiqUY – :
I tested it today and I felt so disappointed (moreover I was so annoyed when I found out that every department store in Athens has removed every single bottle of Aqua Divina from Bvlgari shelves in order to promote this new fragrance). For the first 40-45 minutes the smell reminded me just “exotic fruits” bubblegum and nothing else and an hour later things got weird. I smelled again my wrist and had a deja-vu. My beloved old classic Omnia (the only one of the entire collection that I loved with pure and honest passion) was trying for a comeback, but it was so brief that after half an hour the scent completely disappeared. I don’t think that this reminiscence of original Omnia is a good reason for me to purchase a bottle of Paraiba. Not only I have to wait about an hour to get the smell I want but also the longevity of this one is quite weak on my skin. So, no, I’m sorry.
atom20001 – :
Didn’t really like this one. It starts off with a strong fruity, citrus burst, but not long after turns to an artificial, oranges and dark brown sugar scent – which sounds ok, but it’s cloying and just doesn’t suit me at all. Not my thing.

I am so sorry but I don’t like this perfume like I imagine the first time this perfume came out. I only like the top note. After that I smell salty and something that made me headache. I think the top note is very fresh beautiful and luscious fruity flowery, but after 2 hours the scent developed into something smell weird. Sillage not much and longivity around 6 hours on my skin.

Disappointment. The moment I saw the release for this, I wanted to try it. I avoid tropical scents because they tend to just be an overload of pungent and acidic fruit, but this one is much more soft and gentle. It has a nice ‘tropical’ vibe to it, yet still remains interesting and clean at the same time. It last about an hour before it becomes a run of the mill clean citrus scent, slightly creamy base. So where I was hoping it would develop into something even more interesting, it flat-lined. It reminded me of how it might feel to be obsessed with a celebrity who is just so interesting yet still cool, and then you hang out with them and they’re the most boring person you’ve ever met.
