Al Wisam Evening
by Rasasi
Al Wisam Evening presents a bold, intensely woody and aromatic profile that unfolds with a dry, green-tinged intensity. It opens with sharp lavender and galbanum, creating an initially raw and unripe sensation that some find off-putting. The scent evolves into a mysterious, linear composition with a distinct herbal-bitter character, likened to dry hay or straw, which many note as highly unique and memorable. The green and aromatic accords dominate, with a subtle musky-woody base providing depth and longevity, though it doesn't transform dramatically over time. The scent is most effective in the evening, projecting moderately to strongly in the air but lacking subtlety when worn close to the skin—its striking presence can feel overwhelming up close, giving it a slightly skanky or medicinal edge for some.
