Spicy roses
Wisal is a wonderful blend of roses, spices and woods.

Opens with a beautiful floral bouquet with some tiny musk note and then develops to a fresh and sweet roses heart with a touch of spices. The opening notes may smell a little medicinal to someone, maybe there's an oud note there, despite not listed.

The base is woody and has some hints of musk. The rose is still there, fresh and sweet in the right amount to my nose.

Wisal is a wonderful floral fragrance that's unissex in my opinion.

Wisal remembers me of many Montale fragrances, specially Aoud Amber Rose. In the drydown it reminds me of Micallef Aoud Rose, but Wisal is heavier and less sweet.

Definately a great choice. Niche level for sure.

Sillage, projection and lasting power are great - it lasts around 8/10 hours easily with a good projection.

Oriental and Authentic Rose Scent for Everyone and Always
A truly great rose scent with fantastic longevity and a (usually) more than fair price. The citrus note at the beginning is only slightly citrusy and serves merely to complement the already rosy opening. The few spices are by no means annoying, but rather a kind of embellishment, thus they do not come across as herbal or pretentious. To be honest, I didn’t even perceive them as such. The rose blooms in all its beauty and splendor, accompanying you for hours and, when applied before bedtime, feels very calming. It’s a shame that it is hard to find in this country.
And by the way, it is in no way similar to “Roses Musk” by Montale: While Wisal mentally transports me to a garden full of roses and carnations, Roses Musk makes me think of nothing but wanting to vomit, as it smells alcoholic and synthetic.

The Shine of Silver
Rose with a spicy note immediately rises to my nose after spraying. It tingles slightly and lasts no longer than 15 seconds like this. Soon, a bouquet of flowers joins in, indeterminate which kind the beautiful blooms are. As if they had been finely ground in a mortar and mixed with the spicy rose juice. Over time, a slightly masculine note is added, but really only minimally, so that the fragrance gains a bit of freshness and in exchange gives up some of the rose. Not a loss but a successful strategy that distinguishes it from its rather fruity-floral golden counterpart, Wisal Dhahab. This twist makes Wisal absolutely unisex, as it does have a floral aspect, but the fresh, somewhat cologne-like note tempers it a bit. Once the fragrance has transformed from spicy rose water to a unisex dream elixir after about 5 minutes, it is still not over. A slightly animalistic note lays over it and wonderfully supports the masculine touch. This musk unites everything into a soft, seductive, and also refined fragrance that has an extremely long-lasting presence and should be applied in moderation. Only then can the individual notes develop beautifully and reveal their potential. Wisal invites you to lean back and dream just as much as it does to work or go out. Personally, I find it extremely pleasant for everyday wear when I don't want to smell specifically like a certain flower or simply need something completely different for a change from what usually accompanies me throughout the day. Wisal is special, comes across as very high-quality, yet is affordable. Due to its quality, it could also be offered at a much higher price or be categorized as exclusive. With Wisal, I have once again added a fragrance to my collection that, while it doesn't lead me to adventurous stories, captivates and excites me in the most pleasant way with its facets. I would classify its scent character similarly to Midnight in Paris by Van Cleef & Arpels (2010), which I referred to in my previous comment as a "border-being." Both fragrances dance on their journey with us, sometimes on this side and sometimes on the other side of the border, without wanting to commit. While they are not identical in notes, they can still possess a similar essence. Like two compatible zodiac signs. And because of this, they are exciting, very adaptable, and thus fit many skin chemistries or wearer types. However, these fragrances are often not perceived precisely because of their transformation, as they adapt individually and very personally to their wearer. And that, in turn, makes them something special, unique, and desirable for a collection.
Not everything that glitters is gold.
Here it is silver.
The silver of Ajmal Wisal...

Oriental Spice Rose
Wisal by Ajmal was once again an inexpensive blind buy for me. I purchased a full 50 ml bottle along with the box from a private seller for little money. If I hadn't liked it, it wouldn't have been a big loss.

Overall, the scent is rather compact and does not undergo significant development, but that can be quite nice sometimes. I’ll try to describe it:
Wisal resides in a kitschy silver bottle and is a lush oriental-spicy rose fragrance.
It starts off with a slightly peppery note and quickly transitions into a dark spiciness.
This spiciness is paired with dark red, velvety, luscious roses. Oud is certainly present (even if synthetic), giving the fragrance a slight smokiness, but it’s rather subtle. I don’t like it too smoky anyway. There are also slight woody undertones. I can't identify any other flowers. It finishes with a subtle musk note that is very pleasant.
It has a very warm and spicy aura, distinctly oriental.
Longevity and sillage are very good and in the height of summer, almost too much. Now in September, it is much more wearable.
It could appeal to those who also enjoy Yves Rocher's Rose Oud.

I certainly do not regret the purchase.

Roses and musk with faint floral and spicy notes, but the story is of roses and musk. Soft silage but excellent longevity. For rose lovers.

Classic rose-oud with an Arabic touch, floral-spice-wood contrast, very smooth finish, not overwhelming, incredibly long-lasting.

.. The scent of Arabic art felt over 8,000 years.
Ajmal is pure perfumery art for us, family.

Soapy and heavy rose, a great paradox. I, who usually doesn't like rose, love this scent. H/S quite good without being beastly.

A heavy, warm, elegant, oriental rose scent.
Smells much more expensive than it costs.
One of the best rose fragrances I know.
