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 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...

The fragrance arrives in an unusual

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...
