The opening is a blast of juicy fruits- pear, apple and the faintest hints of the mandarine orange engulf you. But this is only for a moment as the rose glides in and settles quite wonderfully with the richest sandalwood you could desire. This sandalwood has an incense vibe that becomes pronounced in the dry down, it is a true sandalwood note, oriental in its bearing. So slowly, too, the cooling winds from the distant snow-capped peaks of the mountains are awakening; bringing coolness and thus life. It’s my second time owning this. The first time was about 7 years ago, I like it, but it didn’t hold my interest enough. I remember Wisal being very similar to Roses Musk as both are atmospheric kind of hairspray scents that are easily worn and non-offensive. So when I wanted something cheap but long lasting to use ‘n’ abuse for work days, I started thinking about Wisal again. At the time I also got Wisal Dhahab but wasn’t a fan of the sweet pear. I liked how neutral the original silver bottle was. But you’ve got to wonder why things in the past were rejected… The fruity part is short-lived. You can include these fruit notes all you want, but these top notes come and go in 10 secs before being occupied by synthetic rose (+ huge amount of geranium), musk bomb, some sweet florals, and some red fruits. I find the scent to be overwhelming, one-dimensional, and stuffy, especially when it's all about rose. This is more powdery and musky than woody. I believe it has synthetic ambroxan or something that makes it project like crazy. Sillage is huge that it causes me a headache sometimes, so 1-2 spray is more than enough, although longevity on 'my skin' isn't greater than sillage. A small grove of apple and pear trees are also already bearing fruit, some already overripe, playing their part in the fruity concert of scents that impregnates the air and is made so alive by the water features.

The wide French windows of the rooms are wide open; the cooler wind, which has now also arrived, plays with the light curtains; it invites them to dance!This is not a beast-mode fragrance, you can surround yourself with four sprays, but it is so long lasting that I don't see why you'd need five. This is also a versatile fragrance- any season, any time of day. I was introduced to Ajmal about five years ago and I immediately fell in love with the brand. My first Ajmal perfume was Faihaa. Although I love Faihaa they stopped producing it and the scent was very much a winter fragrance of florals, oud and safron. I was also adventurous in trying other Ajmal fragrances and so I ventured out and got a bottle of Wisal Dhahab, that was spring of 2016. Everyone was just starting to get into the deep oriental bandwagon at that time and W.D. was for me very special.

Before I wrote, I treated myself to a few noses full of fragrance and so it was easy for me to enter this enclosed area of the impressive palace and feel good at the cheerful hustle and bustle in fruity-floral and oriental resinous-woody atmosphere. Thus the aromatic and juicy freshness of the fruits, the blossom beauty of the flowers and aromatic-spicy hedges marry with the scents of the spices from the various chambers. Overall, the fragrance is rather compact and does not undergo any great development, but this is sometimes quite nice. I'll try to describe him:

Pluto writes that with "Wisal Dhahab" the head notes are completely undercut to her, well, with me they are persistent, as head notes rarely are. And so I can also report almost only from them: A warm wind is blowing in and bringing the scents of sandalwood and cedar wood in this garden to blend with those of the flowers. This creates a very complex and powerful fragrance that only perfumers from the Middle East may sometimes create. The burst of juicy pear opens up the fragrance. Not overly sweet because the citrus notes balances it. On my skin the fruit notes lingers for a good hour then it evolves into rose and sandalwood cord. This phase lasts for a good 2-3 hours which I absolutely adore. Then it settles into rose and musk for 2 hours. When applied on the fabric it lasts a lot longer. I never over spray my fragrance and for W.D. I only spray 3 times and it projects very well with a good scent trail which lasts for at least 6 hours on my skin. As one reviewer wrote it is a well balanced fragrance. Perfect for any season and occasion and yes perfect for any continent. I have worn this on holidays - from Spain to the Philippines and I get compliments when I wear it.

First, I'm surprised that the very first spray the fragrance is not bombed around my ears. This happens to me otherwise with almost all fragrances so, they are in the sequence also still so discreet. No, not here, I have to start right away with my nose over the sprayed skin. It is fruity, I think I recognize the apple. Then, unfortunately, it becomes musty, I wonder if it's the interplay of peach and pear? Then follows for a while something that I can't describe but almost makes me nauseous. I feel reminded of "Amira Gold" by Al Haramain, there is also such a phase for me. Finally, the grapefruit emerges, which accompanies me until the end of the fragrance, it is unfortunately not particularly appreciated by me.... It definitely moves on a fragrance base, but on the one hand it is very weak and on the other hand I can't decipher it. Only now, about 15 hours after the last time I sprayed it on, can I detect a hint of woody base. I have to bring my nose directly to the sprayed skin for this, but there is still so much fragrance that I hesitate to apply a new scent.Whisal Dhahab" at first sight seems to be a fragile fragrance, which gently enters with fruits, and on the horizon an orchard appears consisting of apple, pear, peach and citrus trees. The woody, ashy, heavy side makes it feel more masculine. But the peach and florals keep it close to unisex. To me, the opening rides the line between a dark, mysterious, and very attractive male, and something my aunts might wear, settling on the former as the freagrance dries down. The enclosed portion of the seraglio consists not only of the pavilions, loosely strung together, with their richly furnished chambers, but also of large gardens, with a great variety of water-arts, which refresh the air, and at the same time afford beautiful and entertaining diversions. The large planters of delicious fruit standing in the shelter and the front of the shady porticoes now exhale their fresh fruity aromas as evening approaches.
