Conjure - Solstice Scents



Details: 
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.

Rating:
3/5

Day 147!

  1. This is my second favourite perfume from SS. Manor being my dearest one of all perfumes anywhere!

    I 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.

    1. 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!
