Wisal Dhahab

Product Information

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). 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.

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: 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. 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. I was all the more amazed when this garden of a seraglio from 1,001 nights evolved from all these fragrances into a colorful and vibrant scent. 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".Guerlain presents the new collection of fragrances in Colour Collection Flacon Quadrilobé, featuring five fragrances from the exclusive offer. The new collection is a response to the challenge of creating associations and synthesis between certain colors and scents. The iconic Guerlain Quadrilobé bottle was created by Baccarat in 1908 for Jacques Guerlain’s perfume Rue de la Paix. The bottle, which is now produced by Verreries Brosse, is used for private and exclusive collections.

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. Obviously, "Wisal Dhahab" is a fragrance creature with its own ideas about how it wants to develop and with whom. This is a more powerful and slightly more fruity take on Al Madinah Al Haramain and Amber Rose Al Rehab. Both of these are - if still available - considerably more affordable in the west, while Wisal and flankers are easily to be had and quite a bit less expensive in the middle east than here. It may logically depend on your geography as to which you prefer! The original Wisal in the silver bottle starts off more unisex and metallic and pretty much stays that way. Wisal Dahab starts with fruity-rose-oud with some powder and then loses the fruit altogether. Both of these are laden with Iso-E-Super as the woody note, making me understand comments about how Wisal smells common or chemical. Noble orchids, also not stingy with their heavy, sweet, vanilla-like gifts of fragrance, hang in large baskets.

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. From within, heavy precious wafts of fragrance from the precious oils and woods and resins burned for room fragrance flow into the garden. 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. Final thoughts, beauty is in the eye of the beholder; however, this one to me is overrated. But if you associate beauty with beast-mode quality then this is for you.
