Le Sacre du Printemps - Spring 2011 Collection is LIVE!

Hello Everyone!

After a long and grueling winter, it looks as if Spring may be rearing its beautiful, warm, sunny and refreshing head. The dark months in the Pacific Northwest are cruel - days of infinite rain, thick clouds and gray light run together in a seamless blur of cold and bleak misery. The first days of sunshine are truly a reprieve from emotional death row.

Spring is my new favorite season. So many joyous events happen in Spring: the birthday of my daughter, Miss Lucy. My husband Sterling's birthday, my favorite sabbat, Beltaine and my Ocha birthday! Definitely a time of celebration!

So, allow me to introduce with great joy and rapture the Conjure Oils Spring 2011 Collection, Le Sacre du Printemps! May it bring you all the delight that I enjoyed during its research, development and formulation!

All the best,

Vajra

Le Sacre du Printemps

Scents inspired by the fevered passions of composer Igor Stravinsky and choreographer Vaslav Nijinski

Le Sacre du Printemps, or the Rite of Spring, is a legendary ballet rife with sexuality, virility, primal, ancient magics and pagan revelry. Penned in 1913, it is one of the best examples of musical innovation that heralded the Modern period of music. It has inspired many - from Fantasia to Frank Zappa - and continues to ignite the hearts and minds of artists to this day.

We at Conjure can think of no better devotion to Spring than to create a fragrance collection based on this wonderful and exhilarating work of fine art. This is a conceptual line, offering Conjure's interpretation of the music, the myth and the meaning that resounds within the imagination.

Enjoy the rebirth and the rapture.

We honor the Old Ones: clary and desert sages, chaparral, creosote, ancient wood, faded leather and cactus flower sweetened with desiccated fireweed honey.

Adoration de la Terre

The Kiss of the Earth. Earthbound and beautiful; the blue dot in a sea of black that we call home.

Dancing Out of the Underworld. Persephone is free and the world is reborn in joyous celebration.

Escape the darkness with rejuvenating black Assam tea, dark coconut husk, aged vanilla resin, sacred sandalwood temple incense, earthen musk and shaved red mandarin zest.

Cercles Mystérieux des Adolescentes

Circle of the Mystical Maidens.

The Celtic festivals of Samhain and Beltaine are historically the two times during the year when the veil between the worlds of the living and the dead are at their thinnest. May 1st invites more than ancestral spirits - it carries the spirits of earth Elementals - faeries, gnomes, sprites and other creatures of myth as spring rains and gentle blossoms are carried on the perfumed breeze.

The Spring Maidens dance this eternal dance and weave into their rhythm the magic of the season working the rites that further weaken the veil making the world of seen and unseen indistinguishable.

"We gather in a strict formation, hold hands in a circle
and at twilight we all we all walk around the stones.
Spirits dance and bodies roll, hallucinations curtsey
as the river priestess consecrates the bones."

~ Casting the Runes, Legendary Pink Dots

Exotic tuberose, pink peony, lychee fruit, orange blossom, vanilla bean, tonka, strawberry blossom, bergamot and sugar cane.

Evocation des Ancêtres

Evoking the Spirits of the Ancestors. We stand on the shoulders of our ancestors through love, adoration and veneration our predecessors are lifted, elevated, given light and eternal life.
