Rich, sultry, spicy oriental - wonderful to sample in the store but have no idea when I would ever wear something like this. There are many fragrances in the same vein as this one which I find...

This is a pleasant very feminine sweet fruity floral. Its not very unique though, and i think the hint of rose (pink pepper) in there kind of annoys me.

This is not quite as aquatic as the description suggests. Its heavier on the spice than you might think. Its still pretty and light and wearable, certainly the spices are not overbearing, however i...

I ordered a sample of Aqaba from Lucky Scent based on the listed notes, and I love it. It's a sweet/spicy/floral oriental that I can wear and enjoy, rather than it wearing me and becoming tedious....

I wasn't sure what to expect from this really, but all the strong reviews both on here and Luckyscent got the better of me and so I ordered a sample. I love it! Fot the first 10 minutes or so it...

When I first tried this, I felt that I had to rush to wash my hands off that smell. It was too sweet, sickeningly so. After 15-20 minutes it started to get better as the sweetness receded and...

Gosh, I'm so torn on this one. On one hand, it smells yummy and cinnamony - quite lovely, exotic, and expensive smelling. On the other hand, it's very very strong and perfumy smelling, and a bit...

Juicy and summery, yet deep. The topnotes, unmistakably, are sweet peach nectar, and fleshy, syrupy apricot. Pink pepper (rose de mai) adds a very subtle kick, that doesn't come through for very...

Exquisite, elegant, and strikingly gorgeous. This fragrance definitely satisfies my romantic hopes for the Aqaba line. Midnight Sun is the sexiest out of all the Aqabas, and it's also sensual,...

Whew! The notes and description of Sands of Aqaba made me imagine it as a very different scent. I was expecting a dry, vetiver-green, floriental (probably because the name called to mind "Dior...

Upon first sniff I thought, "Wow, this is too MATURE for me." Then I cackled a bit and reminded myself that I'm 42 years old. So I dabbed on a drop from my sample. And then I dabbed it again....

Ick. Archetypical cheap mall fragrance.

This, on me, smells remarkably similar to Fendi Asja. Maybe Asja mixed with EL Cinnabar. Aqaba, though, smells like a better blended version made with higher quality ingredients. Very cinnamony....

For a perfume with an exotic name, nothing about it is very exotic at all. I'm getting straight fresia and/or tuberose. Very, very sweet. It sort of reminds me of Rosine's Mea Culpa, only it...

Midnight Sun is my favorite of the Aqaba line. Raincheck's review is right on the money when she describes it as "a bowl of heavy, deep-purple grape juice filled with rocks." The opening is...

Aqaba is very, very similar to Coco, especially on drydown, but Coco is smoother and, to my nose, better.

Jewels of Blu is a sophisticated tropical fruit salad, and certainly the fragrance I would select for vacationing on a warm Caribbean island. I'm not a fruity gal, but this one is lovely!
