Conjure
Dark Spring 2013
Solstice Scents
Notes:
A magical blend of Vanilla, Amber, Cedar, Spices & Cauldron Smoke.
As with Manor, I can smell something a bit leathery in this perfume, even though it's not listed as a note. In fact, this perfume is vaguely similar to Manor - quite masculine but also a bit sweet from the vanilla and amber. The spice smells a little bit like ginger and maybe even some nutmeg. (I have whole nutmeg - nutmegs? nutmeg nuts? - in a jar in my kitchen and secretly I like to just stand there sniffing it - gorgeous).
The dry down is a smooth, smokey woody vanilla. I do like this, but I think it's a bit like Old Cedar Magus, just blokier, and since I already have a beloved full bottle of that I don't think I'd spring for this one. Sillage is medium to high - I was quite aware of it most of the day. It lasted a good while too, I could still faintly smell it 12 hours later.

This is my second favourite perfume from SS. Manor being my dearest one of all perfumes anywhere!
ReplyDeleteI though Conjure went away or was discontinued in 2011 or 2012. Am I wrong? Is this a new version? If so, I have the old version from 2010. And it still smells wonderful in bottle and on skin. I bought three bottles of this back in 2010.
This is a new version but I haven't smelled the old one so I don't know what the difference is. Happy to send it to you if you'd like to try it!
