Perfume of the Day - Aqaba by Aqaba

Another one of my new samples, I wore this very interesting scent today.  It is immediately quite soapy on me, but wore down into a spicy, sweet,  and slightly floral melange.  Liz Taylor, before she wore White Diamonds, could have worn this in her role as Cleopatra.

Luckyscent has this to say about it:

“”Brighter than spiced wine
Sweeter than midnight
More secret than the rose”"
- Michael Hornyansky “”The Queen of Sheba”"

Aqaba- a jeweled city on an ancient caravan route, through which camels laden with luxurious cargoes of incense, gold and gemstones passed as the Queen of Sheba traveled to meet King Solomon. An encounter that sparked a legendary passion. This tantalizing fragrance inspired by the charismatic queen uses ingredients from the traditional art of Arabian perfumery. It opens with a deep, powerful rose blended with warm spices and precious frankincense. It mellows into a beguiling spicy sweetness with amazing lasting power. Thrillingly seductive we think it would have suited the queen perfectly.
