22 September 2014

HAPPY 5TH ANNIVERSARY VAJRA & STERLING!

FALL IN LOVE - VAJRA & STERLING'S 5TH ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION

Five years! I am one of the lucky ones: I got to marry not only someone I love, but my best friend as well. Fall in Love celebrates our anniversary and marks the first day of fall as well - our favorite season!

Envelope yourself in the soft and sultry, where the love of fall and the falling of love collide: sugared fig, black amber incense, toasted coconut, crisp autumn leaves and a slathering of oud.

FALL IN LOVE - VAJRA & STERLING'S 5TH ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION - $20 5ml

SEPTEMBER: THE DEATH OF SUMMER - $20 5ml

September: The Death of Summer is the next installment of the Conjure mixtapes. Once again, it's a nod to the post-punk era but also branches out in some other surprising directions as well. Enjoy! I am allowed to use the titles because of copyright rules, but since I don't really like making money of the works of others, all proceeds after production costs will be donated to Mercy Corps. All lyrics are used through fair use. I do not own them. You can get the playlist if you're a member of spoitfy. Find Vajra Conjure Wright and the playlist September: The Death of Summer.

MIXTAPE SEPTEMBER: THE DEATH OF SUMMER TRACKLIST

CHARLOTTE SOMETIMES - THE CURE

"Sometimes I'm dreaming
While the other people dance..."

The recollection of a fading dream: vanilla cream, Mirabella plum, Parma violet, ruby pomegranate, clove and a drop of ginger.

STELLA WAS A DIVER AND SHE WAS ALWAYS DOWN - INTERPOL

"At the bottom of the ocean she dwells
Her caresses caressed by fingers
And fat blue serpent swells"

Serpentine blue musk, salty sea air, bioluminescent blossoms and sapphire amber.

UNDER THE MILKY WAY - THE CHURCH

"Sometimes when this place gets kind of empty
Sound of their breath fades with the light
I think about the loveless fascination
Under the Milky Way tonight."

Toasted black tobacco, oud, aged vanilla resin, roasted almonds and kush.

A DAY - CLAN OF XYMOX

"Where are you?
So far away.."

Tonka bean, Indian patchouli, cinnamon, orange blossom, black currant and wildflower honey.

GRACE - JEFF BUCKLEY

"And she weeps on my arm,
Walking to the bright lights in sorrow "

Black patchouli, pink pepper, Indian jasmine, deep sandalwood and a sultry drop of ylang ylang.

I CAN'T HARDLY STAND IT - THE CRAMPS

"I can't hardly stand it
You're troublin' me
I can't hardly stand
It just can't be."

Sorrowful notes of King mandarin, bergamot, juicy peach, black tea and Moroccan myrrh.

I MELT WITH YOU - MODERN ENGLISH

"The future's open wide."

Dark chocolate, woodsmoke, toasted marshmallow and aged vanilla extract.

DIE INTERIMSLIEBENDEN - EINSTÜRZENDE NEUBAUTEN

"In ihrem gemeinsamen Mund
lebt ein Kolibri
Mit jedem seiner Flügelschläge
dafür das Auge viel zu träge
Kulturen erblühen und vergehen
ganze Kontinente untergehen"

Delicate hummingbird attracting blossoms, honey incense, amber cream, spiced myrrh and white tea.

WICKED GAME - CHRIS ISAAK

"The world was on fire and no one could save me but you."

Delicious passionate torture: Wildberry, anise, cinnamon, orange blossom, Haitian vetiver, sandalwood, blood cedar and vanilla.

PINK MOON - NICK DRAKE

"None of you stand so tall
Pink moon gonna get ye all."

Pink grapefruit, delphinium, pink calla lily and crimson dragon's blood.
