Description

If this is called a rose/wood combo, then it would not be telling you the full story of whiffs of geranium and jasmine that you can fully experience if spritzed on ones warm skin, or the musky, woody dry down and that faintest bit of cedar that remains on your skin. The patchouli troubles nothing, it is tamed by the musk.

Often "Western noses" may not always be fond of such Oriental works of art, because their understanding of fragrance is different and quite different ingredients are considered "Oriental". At first I didn't care too much about this scent. But the more I wore it the more it seduced me into liking it. On my skin the peach is more prominent than what the note votes above made me expect. There's a powdery quality, I don't know if it comes from the rose, or the woods, or the combination of both. It feels like a very dry vetiver. This makes the freagrance feel like an ashy peach, in the best way possible. Or like if you could feel the fuzziness of the peach, I like the experience. 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. In the meantime, all the young women have come out of their chambers in their veil-like robes and sumptuously hung with jewellery; like little colourful glittering birds, they chirp and chirp, bringing life to the garden. Colour Collection Flacon Quadrilobé perfumes are available in bottles of 125 ml at the price of 650 Euros. They will be sold starting in June 2016 in the Guerlain boutique at Place Vendome.Spring of 2020; Since I have a lot of time, I decided to do a spring cleaning. I noticed my Ajmal bottle and I decided to spray some on and right away it reminded me of why I love this beauty.

Somewhat put off by Geli's execution, I sprayed "Wisal Dhahab" by Ajmal timidly at first. I was not at all sure what to expect. 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. 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. I think some of us get to a stage in our fragrance journey when we have tried and tested a lot of fragrances and we eventually feel that it is time to choose a signature scent. I finally found mine and this is it- Ajmal Wisal Dhahab. This is my story connected to this beautiful fragrance. The blending here is solid IMO. Not sure if Nazir Ajmal is the nose behind all of Ajmal's scents or just some of them, but if he composed this, I think he balanced all the notes pretty admirably considering how many synthetics he'd have been working with. The bottle is... goofy, but it's got a fun charm to it, and performance is solid but not outrageous. It ends up landing in the general zone of Zaharoff's Signature Rosé, but Wisal Dhahab is a much better value.

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:

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. 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.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. 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. 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…

Well, it does, and it doesn't. It presents the oud-rose-Iso-E combination that many an attar does, but with initially good sillage and hugely superb longevity. The balance may be better or not than some, depending on personal chemistry. I find the Iso-E in this one less overpowering than some and more so than others. Amber Rose by Al Rehab has less and lasts less. But other popular ouds that smell wholly chemical and masculine to me have far more! It's a matter of perception and skin, methinks. To this end, I am already comfortably reclining on large soft pillows that are suddenly everywhere. Plump peaches in velvety skins smell ripe and sweet, while tangerines and large grapefruit are fresh, already announcing the joy they will spread as an ingredient in cool drinks and food.

For Colour Collection, the famous bottle is presented in five different colors for the first time, referring to five types of precious gems. Each bottle comes in a luxurious amethyst box with the Guerlain symbol of the sun. The gemstone-colored bottles contain five different fragrances selected from the Les Exclusifs collection: the sapphire bottle contains L'Heure de Nuit (2012), the ruby bottle features Amber Brûlant (2008), Santal Royal (2014) comes in a green bottle that represents emerald, amber is the color of Spiritueuse Double Vanille (2007), and amethyst is the color for L'Eau de Parfum du 68 (2013). This spiciness is combined with dark red velvety roses. Oud is certainly also indoors (albeit artificial), which gives the fragrance a slight smokiness, but rather subtle. I don't like it too smoky anyway. This is complemented by slightly woody bonds. I can't see any other flowers. It finishes with a subtle musky note that is very pleasant. So slowly, too, the cooling winds from the distant snow-capped peaks of the mountains are awakening; bringing coolness and thus life. So here and there a curtain is already being pushed aside; the voices of the women grow louder and livelier, and the first of them appear in the garden, lightly yet splendidly dressed. 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.
