Aqaba Spring

(This review is for Eau de Perfume) AQABA SPRING is a beautiful young sister to AQABA CLASSIC. She is fun and radiant but she is also passionate and mysterious like her older sister. I can see this beautiful princess walking in the night garden of blooming roses smiling at the stars, dancing and signing gentle songs of the orient. I fell in love with the original AQABA and AQABA SPRING impressed me as much. It is lighter than the original, which makes it perfect for daytime and spring/summer time but it still is a beautiful luscious oriental scent with a magnificent bouquet of roses in the heart. AQABA SPRING starts fresh with mandarin, blackcurrant leaves and bergamot. But as soon as the scent touches my skin the cinnamon shows up and adds a spicy oriental note. The composition is wrapped into seductive sweetness of the honeyed apricots. The gorgeous oriental floral heart notes combine Turkish, Damask and Morocco roses with jasmine. The roses are gorgeous in this fragrance, just absolutely gorgeous! They are sweet, luscious and full bodied. The cinnamon and spices add character but they are not as strong as in other oriental perfumes. The fragrance remains beautiful, enthralling, and seductive bouquet of spicy sweet roses for hours. I am in love with both, AQABA and AQABA SPRING. These perfumes are amazing. This sillage is wonderful. I love the fact that this EDP has outstanding sillage – most perfumes these days do not. The longevity is over 10 hours. AQABA SPRING is perfect for daytime and spring/summer time. AQABA CLASSIC is perfect for special occasion and fall/winter. I tested it as a sample a month ago and I had to purchase a full bottle right away. The scent is very comforting and seems to brighten the mood. I get compliments whenever I wear this scent.

I just scored a vintage bottle of this and it's just so pretty! I don't have any other perfumes that are anything like it. The rose, jasmine, and apricot combination is delicious and the spices are soft and subtle. It is a very well-balanced composition. I especially love the cloves in the base, steadily giving off warmth but never overpowering the other notes. If you're lucky enough to find this, grab it, you won't regret it.

This smells like a cross between Monyette Paris and Blv by Bvlgari on my skin-but better (more alive) than either of them. I'm not too fond of either-This is too sweet and powdery, but still quite pretty overall.

I love oriental and spicy perfumes, but this one turns much too sweet on my skin. I get too much apricot and peach, and hardly any spices.

very balmy and feminine fragrance. the opening posseses the same aromatic freshness like the other fragrances of the collection. you can clearly smell clove pink, but soon the freshness is replaced with the floral bouquet which gives it softer and more velvety nuance. you can sense jasmine and rose, but actually, none of the flowers dominates. the trace is sweetish with a hint of fruity freshness. it brings an image of light azure color in my mind when smelling it. :)
