Abiquiu is a nice oriental/floral. It begins with an opening of vanilla, benzoin, some spices (cardamom, coriander, pepper) and some light sweet notes underlying the rest of the fragrance. Over time the oriental notes begin to fade and the floral notes appear more strongly. To me, the heart of the fragrance is a rose/narcissus and pepper mix. I only got a couple of wears out of this, but it’s very nice and all of the notes smell very natural. I would recommend.
