Al Wasl

The quiet intensity of an office-turned-meeting room late in the afternoon, where the air is crisp yet inviting, filled with the subtle warmth of aromatic woods and powdery musk.

The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2020, Al Wasl by WIDIAN is an Oriental Woody fragrance for both women and men, crafted by the renowned perfumer Jean-Claude Astier. The composition opens with a fresh spicy accord, featuring apple and pepper, which gives way to rich and warm notes of oud, white flowers, sandalwood, amber, vanilla, and musk. This blend creates a scent that is both powdery and woody, striking a balance between freshness and warmth.

How to wear it

Apply a light spritz to your pulse points — the fresh spicy notes are fleeting but impactful. The woody base will develop over time, so one or two applications should be enough for all-day wear.
