Reminds me a bit of Coco, which I love, but which makes my husband want to puke. He likes the Aqaba, so I'll stick with this. Yum.

Just from sniffing the bottle I thought – this is just like Asja…
The same luscious fruity notes – peachy and smooth – along with carnation/cloves spiciness.
But after applying it – I changed my...

Yes, this is "perfumey" and powerful. No, it's not easy to wear. But when it works, it's amazing. Just a spritz or two of this potent brew will hold you all day, and the drydown is bliss. On me,...

No. I can't get past the shocking vinegar cloud of the first 5 minutes to even let this dry down into something I might like - and I like strong woody orientals. Washed off immediately . . ....

Aqaba goes on with a strong 'perfume' note right at the beginning but its gone within a couple of minutes then you just get the lovely spicy oriental scent. I liked this scent quite a bit but it...

Aqaba is what I call a perfume with personality, but I didn't find it overly strong. In fact, it's a lovely soft, spicy floral-oriental. At first sniff, I get a cinnamon/clove/cedar strong burst...

This ended up smelling JUST like Coco Mademoiselle on me. I don't like Chanel fragrances, either, so that kind of spoiled it for me. I do like the spice, and if it didn't remind me so strongly of...

Aqaba and I are not meant to be. That's not too much of a surprise, since I don't fall for many heavy scents. However, when I first applied this I was so impressed: a spicy, somewhat sweet, touch...

I'm a sucker for exotic, unusual
fragrances, and this fits my bill to perfection.
The fragrance arrives in an unusual
box and bottle as well. I always feel when I wear a fragrance, I don't like...

This, as has been mentioned before, is to be used with caution. It is not for the frilly and bubbly. I takes strength and a biiiiig personality to carry this off, and I would only recommend it for...

I about ran away from Aqaba when I first sampled this a few months ago. It seemed to be too BIG for me at that time. But lately, I found my nose craving more spicy florientals. So I sought out my...

Well, I know that many find Aqaba a bit strong, but if applied with a light hand, I find it to be enchanting. I can not abide the synthetics used in many of todays dept. store perfumes, so I really...

Aqaba is not a scent you want to spritz on right before heading downstairs to greet your guests. There's an appealing pomander accord at the start, but it's hidden just underneath a screaming...

Very, very strong--Aqaba has the strength of some of the Amouage scents, and the lasting power, too. Bonked me over the head with its harsh strength in the beginning, rendering my nose dead to any...
