Wisal Dhahab

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. 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. What made it more special was I get compliments when I wear it which gave me more reason to use it often. It became my spring 2016 signature scent. I loved this fragrance a lot, I often use this especially on special occasions because my husband, friends and family love the fragrance on me. It has in a way become my scent for a good year. 2017-2019 I went on a rapid fragrance journey- tested, tried and bought lots of fragrances and so my Ajmal bottle sat quietly inside my perfume cabinet waiting for me to notice it again. I occasionally use it but the other new fragrance discoveries always get my attention. 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. 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. Wisal Dhahab feels like a warm hug for me, it hugs my skin with just the perfect touch of fruit, floral and wood notes. I find that there is both a familiarity and mysteriousness on this fragrance....its like a deja vu. My fragrance journey in a way started with this gem and although I am still discovering new fragrances I finally have come to find a fragrance which defines me, Wisal Dhahab is now part of me.

This is one of the top 5 EDPs in my collection, so be aware of my bias in writing this review. Wisal Dhahab is a wonder that clings to you and evokes dreams of being a 5 ft 10 elegant, white collar woman posing for a fashion magazine front cover... yet it is somehow unisex. 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. 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. And when many hours have gone by and you put your nose to your perfumed wrist to take a sniff, you will be greeted with the most beautiful, tame, woody rose that you could wish to inhale. 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. Anytime I apply this fragrance and catch whiffs of it on my skin, all I can exclaim is "Lawd!"

Wisal Dhahab is one of Beautiful Scent from Ajmal Perfumes. Its Sweet, Pleasing, Strong & Stunning are Words to Describe it. Though its Unisex Perfume & can be used by both, Its bends a little towards feminine. Its One of my Top 10 Favorite Perfumes & My Wife too Loves this Perfume V Much. All Notes are well Balanced. The Top begins with a Fruity Fresh as it has Apple, Peach, Pear, Grape Fruit & Mandarin note followed by a Floral, It has Rose, Jasmine, Orchid & Geranium as Heart Notes and Base of Woody Musky as it has Sandalwood, Ceder Wood, Patchouli & Musk as Base Notes. It smells V Exotic & Royal and Its V Affordable by Price, Projection & Longevity & Presentation are Good. Sprayer is Nice and Pours Juice Nicely/ My Rating is 4.5 out of 5. Great Job Ajmal

When I wanted to comment, all my points majorly were similar to @Farouhaa. Still something's I would say, out of all Eastern and Western Perfumes, this one is one of the Greatest perfume I have ever smelt, and best perfume definitely owned. I will lucky to have pass by Dubai Mall of Emirates and buy 7 different juices randomly by testing them all in some minutes like Royal Velvet, Absolute Bright, Carbon, Oudh etc., and coming back here, I realize Wisal is one of the best ever perfume I have ever wore in last 10 years. Though it is floral, but it looks as good on Men as good as female. Damn Luxurious and Sophisticated perfume. I must say, this Arabian scent can be compared and stand by big Parisian juices (Can't take names)

This is an elegant fragrance that has a middle eastern vibe. It has some similarity to a white musk I have in my collection that I bought from the Oud Store in eBay. I forgot the name but compared to this one, this is pretty strong. I would say this frag would be best for age group 30 up I love this as a collector and at times may wear on formal occasions or leisurely at home. But it may be best for a guy to wear this on date nights or evening encounters since it leans a little on the feminine side. But once a confident dude wears this, there’s a magic to it. More of a cold weather scent and the quality of its scent profile is quite impressive. For the price point, this is a bang for your buck. 9/10 😉👍
