Quick Verdict
Versace Crystal Noir takes the crown for me. It's bolder, longer-lasting, and more distinctive. Bvlgari Omnia is a pleasant, easy reach but feels more generic and fades faster. If you want a scent that turns heads and lasts a night out, go Crystal Noir. If you prefer something light and inoffensive for the office, Omnia works.

Scent Profile Compared
Versace Crystal Noir opens with a burst of blackcurrant and a touch of spicy pink pepper, but the heart is a creamy, intoxicating gardenia and peony. The base is where it shines: sandalwood, musk, and a hint of amber create a warm, slightly powdery finish. It's rich, feminine, and sensual.
Bvlgari Omnia starts with fresh, citrusy notes, mandarin and ginger, then moves to a floral heart of lotus and jasmine. The base is a soft, woody mix of musk and sandalwood, but with a distinctive "teaâ" accord (from the original Omnia's chai theme) that makes it feel airy and transparent. It's lighter, more aquatic.
On my skin, Crystal Noir stays creamy and complex for hours; Omnia becomes a faint, clean musk quickly.
Longevity and Sillage
Versace Crystal Noir is a powerhouse. On me, it lasts 6-8 hours with moderate to strong projection for the first 3 hours. It leaves a noticeable trail. Bvlgari Omnia, in contrast, fades within 3-4 hours and becomes a skin scent after 2. Its sillage is soft, you need to be close to smell it. If longevity matters, Crystal Noir wins easily.
Best Occasions and Seasons
Crystal Noir: Perfect for cold weather, fall and winter evenings, date nights, formal events, or nights out. It feels too heavy for summer heat or casual errands.
Omnia: Ideal for spring and summer, daytime wear, work, brunch, or any low-key setting. It's inoffensive and fresh, but can be too light for evening or cool weather.
Price and Value
Crystal Noir is more expensive but offers better longevity and a more distinct scent. Omnia is cheaper per bottle but you'll use more sprays and reapply. For value, I think Crystal Noir gives you more per wear. Always check current price on Amazon to compare actual costs.
Which Should You Buy?
Buy Versace Crystal Noir if you want a sexy, long-lasting statement perfume for nights out or cold weather. It's for someone who loves compliments and doesn't mind a bolder scent.
Buy Bvlgari Omnia if you need a light, fresh, everyday perfume for work or casual days, and you prefer subtlety over projection. It's for someone who likes clean, tea-like florals.
If you can only buy one, Crystal Noir is the more versatile in terms of impact, you can wear it day or night, but it shines at night. Omnia is limited to day. My pick is Crystal Noir.
