Miriam Mirani Aqaba Men ~ new fragrance

Posted by Robin on 4 June 2009 18 Comments

Miriam Mirani Aqaba MenMiriam Mirani has launched Aqaba Men, a new masculine counterpart to1998's Aqaba for women. Like the women's fragrance, it is named for the city of Aqaba and inspired by "the legendary love of King Solomon for the Queen of Sheba":

AQABA MEN an erotic and seductive Eau de Parfum that’s guaranteed to heat up even the coolest of desert nights.

Modern and alluring, AQABA MEN moves effortlessly from day to night. Top notes of warm cognac and fresh lemon blend into white flowers wrapped in a green accord while the dry down of sandalwood and leather beckon the strength and courage of AQABA MEN.

Miriam Mirani Aqaba Men is available in 100 ml Eau de Parfum, and can be found now at First in Fragrance in Germany (160€) or at the Mirani website ($100). (first quote via mirani, second via first-in-fragrance)

      Me too, and reminds me that I should give the women’s another shot…at one time, it was too strongly oriental for me but it probably isn’t now.

    Very curious, though I fear leather. Love the bottle and the whole story of the line is interesting too.

      Ditto, except that I have too little experience w/leather as a note to fear it. I will say though, probably the best smell I ever encountered was when I accidentally spritzed my leather watch strap w/UJEM. Yummmmmm for days on end.

    I might have to drink some of this. Wouldnt want to waste a good cognac. And it will leave me great smelling breathe!

      Might be cheaper to drink real cognac 😉
