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.

Fresh Pine!
If were going to consider all of what i read about Agua Brava i would never buy it.

Certainly this is another "classic" or/and "old school" kind of fragrance. And that's the reason i do like it.

Opens with a nice sage and lemon notes that remains for a while. The pine note joins in the middle and remains untill it fades out.

A woody note mixed with vetiver gives a little depth in the drydown. The accords are very smooth here, nothing extreme neither ethereal.

Cheap yet great, this is a wonderful fragrance with a nice clean/soapy vibe. Reminds me a little of Guerlain Vetiver Extreme in the late drydown.

Sillage, projection and lasting power are great considering this is an EDC.

Oranges and resins
Karma is an exotic fragrance and very unique.

Opens with a huge orange note that remains for a long time. Then joins some resins and patchouli at drydown.

The drydown is much smoother than the first notes. The orange note could be softer in my opinion.

This is not a safe scent neither an office scent, but rather an exotic scent that may not please everyone.

Lasting power is good, sillage is high and projection is also high.

Classic
Bogart is a classic fragrance for mature men certainly.

This is a very cheap fragrance that deserves much more credit than it has. I learned that the rule "you get what you pay" may have some exceptions, like this Bogart fragrance.

Reminds me of Polo, Tsar, Azzaro, Quorum, Paco and others classified as "old school".

Opens with a blast of lemon with some herbs. After the initial notes there's a nice and loud spicy note, which is probably clove.

In the drydown there's a smoky/woody base with a great leather note.

Sillage, lasting power and projection are high.

Still a classic?
I wonder why this has been reformulated. Yes i know the regulations and so, but i cant believe what was done to this fragrance.

I remember when i was a teenager i got a flacon of the original version with about 10ml left. I remember how heavy this fragrance was, one spray was enough for a day.

Recently i bought this 2013 version. Both versions are close in terms of smell, but this new version lacks of density that the old one had. This one smells like a very diluted version.

Opens with a huge smell of citric notes that are very natural to my nose. Then joins some herbal notes and nutmeg. The fragrance is quite linear after that - only a light woody note comes in the drydown.

Reminds me of YSL Pour Homme.

If you like Azzaro, YSL Pour Homme, Rive Gauche and this kind of scents, you'll like this one also.

Sillage, lasting power and projection are weak in my skin.
