AQ

Unlike everyone else here, I actually love this fragrance and I think that it's ABSOLUTELY STUNNING!!! I bought it in the Central department store in CentralWorld Mall in Bangkok with my Decorté AQ Meliority skincare haul. It goes well with the skincare line and it has a citrusy floral scent that is slightly white floral. I can smell the fresh and juicy burst of lemon and bergamot in the opening. Then I can smell the heady champaca, the waxy magnolia, the sweet michelia and a hint of a very clean and natural smelling jasmine. I could imagine a woman from around 20 to 45 wearing this fragrance and I find it very sophisticated and luxurious smelling. AQ Meliority would be great for both day and night and for all of the seasons of the year. It is an easy to spray on fragrance and can be worn in the office, on a night out or at a casual daytime event. I get moderate projection from this fragrance and a wear time of about 5 hours in total. I'd give this fragrance an 9/10. It has a beautiful bottle too and smells just like the magnolia on the cap for sure!

It is very clean and soapy. I like it better in cold weather, the soapiness can be cloying in warm weather. I don’t get that much floral from it but I layered it with my white floral edps and it wasn’t bad at all! Sadly it disappears in a few hours completely

AQ opens with a bright, refined burst—citrusy champaca, crisp yet smooth, like light streaming through sheer curtains. For a moment, the fragrance feels quietly expensive, almost weightless, a delicate shimmer of sophistication. But then, something in the air shifts. The brightness fades to give way to this musky, slightly synthetic undertone—clean but now in a luxury car freshener way, even with a nuance of stuffy vehicle air. I get a whisper of ozonic dust too that adds touch of complexity, but lingers in a way that feels just a bit stifling, a bit nauseating, a bit like hypoallergenic bacteria. A no for me, unfortunate considering the absolutely charming bottle :(

This is icy cold, almost carries that minty toothpaste vibe. Definitely not floral, powdery, musky or sweet in my experience. The scent accords provided above cannot be further from the truth 😐
