    This is a fruity and spicy oriental signed by Thierry Wasser almost a decade before he became the in-house perfumer for Guerlain. It is a powerhouse by today's standards I guess but it dries down...

    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...

    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...

    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....

    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....

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

    Aqaba is a soft, luscious, complex, Middle Eastern fragrance that can send you into a dream on clouds of gold and rose. A Turkish coffee house with roses. A lot more smokiness comes up later,...

    Aqaba reminds me very much of Opium, which I happen to love. It's a rich, warm, exotic fragrance....spicy and very strong. Perfect for cold weather or the Holidays, Aqaba has a festive feel and...

    I tried this eagerly, since frankincense and oakmoss are two of my favorite notes, and it's rare to find both in one fragrance. Unfortunately, most people think a fragrance like this needs lots of...

    In my opinion, this is the type of perfume that women are wearing who wear too much perfume. It is totally overwhelming and struck me as very old-fashioned, i.e., something an older woman would wear.

    Very rich, very satisfying. Breathe in deeply and you can get lost in this scent. Smoothly blended oriental, leaves an unforgettable trail.

    Aqaba. I love it. At first application I find it "almost' indistinguishable from YSL Opium (I get more of a resemblance to Opium than I do to Coco). However, it morphs into a sweeter, softer...

    Aqaba is a gloriously lush, sensual floriental. It *is* extremely potent, so you need only apply a little, but it is very well blended so that no one note screams out at you (at least on me!) I...

    Coco on honey steroids. Powerful, spicy, sweet, intense. But lovely. In minute (microscopically minute) amounts. I don't wear it often, but there are days in late fall and winter when *nothing*...
