KWAIDAN - Japanese Ghost Stories | HALLOWS 2012 is LIVE at CONJURE OILS!

KWAIDAN - JAPANESE GHOST STORIES | HALLOWS 2012 is LIVE!

Join us in the unveiling of this year's Hallows collection - Kwaidan, or Japanese Ghost Stories! I unearthed an ancient copy of Lafcadio Hearn's eponymous novel penned shortly before his death in 1904 and was immediately drawn in to the spooky subject matter and otherworldly spiritual presentation! I selected four of my favorite stories to use as inspiration in creating this year's Hallows perfumes and I think that while the subject and concept are unusual, the final result is something truly amazing!

The stories are presented in their entirety for your enjoyment! So, grab your favorite beverage, get cozy and prepare to be spooked!

Click on the skeleton to be transported into the eerie world of Kwaidan!

MADAME VICTORIA'S MANSION of MAYHEM 2012

Clicking on the Mansion image below whisks you to the front of the line!

THE WITCHES' COVEN 2012

Last year, you met six whimsical witches in Conjure's Coven. This year, it is my sheer joy and pleasure to introduce you to our newest dedicant, Tempora!
TEMPORA the Time Witch 2012

As a new dedicant to the Coven, Tempora feels at home during any day, year or era! Her cauldron is bigger on the inside and her trusty sonic broomstick is always at the ready to help her out of all the sticky situations she gets herself jammed into on her adventures through time, space and dimensions improbable and magical!

Legendary perfume components collected during her voyages, compounded in a cosmic mortar and pestle: Egyptian sandalwood gifted by Cleopatra from her own private reserve, the fragile scent of dried vanilla and dust extracted from the crumbling books and scrolls that once lined the shelves at the Library of Alexandria, sweetened black rose tea enjoyed with Queen Victoria in her garden. All deepened with rare, exotic and resplendent Oriental spice notes purchased from Marco Polo on the Silk Road.
Visit the rest of the Coven by clicking on their image below.

FACEBOOK|TWITTER
Never miss an update, a chance to win some freebies or participate in a random act of perfumery! As an Aquarius, I am predisposed to spontaneity, often subconsciously feeling compelled to release various scents, hold fabulous contests and make available fine one of a kind hand-crafted treasures - often at the spur of the moment! You're not going to want to miss what we've got in the works! From glittering Zombies LOVE Brains soap to Cuntly perfume (for us fancy bitches who dare speak our minds!) where the proceeds go to organizations such as Planned Parenthood who are out there fighting on the front lines in this ridiculous war against women! Who knows when they'll be released? I sure don't! Mood and artistic temperament will dictate. You'll be glad you're in the know! Get you some, enable a friend and make a difference whilst smelling sexy and smart! 

Have a safe and happy Halloween, ConjurePunks! I hope you enjoy the update as much as I had creating it. I DO IT ALL FOR YOU. 

Love and Screams,

Vajra

Wu Xing: Seasonal Splendor in the Chinese Gardens, the Return of Printemps and FREE SHIPPING!

Wu Xing: Seasonal Splendor in the Chinese Gardens
Wu Xing: Seasonal Splendor the Chinese Gardens, Late Summer 2011 is now LIVE!
Taking its inspiration from the Portland Chinese Gardens, Wu Xing: Seasonal Splendor in the Chinese Gardens is my deep, reverent and contemplative bow to the seasons of the year; how their mutable and mercurial presence reminds us that through nature, we can find healing and enlightening metaphors for our own lives and processes.
Fragrances in the Limited Edition collection are available in one size:

5ml Brown Apothecary Bottle - $17.50
Order the entire set and a pip of Chinese Dragon's Blood will be included with your order!
Lotions, Sugar Scrubs, Sprays and Soaps scented with fragrances from the Wu Xing series are available in the Oddment Emporium as well!
SHIPPING IS FREE ON ALL DOMESTIC ORDERS UNTIL AUGUST 8TH!

The Azure Dragon
SPRING: Element of Wood. The sun rising in the East, the verdant and expansive energy of the planet Jupiter. Generative, sprouting, sensitive, new born. Taking in the sights: looking through picture books, or enjoying everything from Spring flowers to sour lemons.
Mirabelle plum, coconut husk, lemon honey, cedar wood, aged amber resin, sandalwood musk, crushed moss and tonka bean.
The Vermillion Bird
SUMMER: Element of Fire, the color red, the midday sun blazing in the summer sky. The direction South, the energetic and active energy of the planet Mars. The expansiveness of Summer: blooming, youthful, hot, creative, sweaty, happy. Chatting and laughing over coffee with loved ones.
Apricot nectar, honeysuckle blossoms, vanilla musk, creamy white amber, heliotrope, basmati rice and a drop of sweet clove.

The Yellow Dragon
LATE SUMMER: Element of Earth. Long shadows cast in the golden light of the late afternoon. Finding your center, stabilizing and exercising the constraint of Saturn's energy. Fruit ripening on the vine: mouth-watering sweetness, damp and fragrant. The clarity of purpose; adulthood. Pure love.
Aged vanilla resin, ginger infused red patchouli, seductively sweet Medjool dates and exotic Silk Road spices.

The White Tiger 
AUTUMN: Element of Metal, the silvery shimmer of the sun setting in the West; white twilight, loving Venus glimmering in the dusky sky. The melancholy of turning within and contracting our energy. The pungency of withering flowers, old age and the grief of impermanence.
Black tea, crushed violet petals, peach sugar, red sandalwood, aged amber resin, cured tobacco, soft suede and threadbare linen

The Black Tortoise
WINTER: Element of Water. Frozen in the silent blackness of midnight we lie dormant, longing for the ever-changing, spontaneous energy that is the signature of Mercury. Conserving our energy, we fend off our primal fears of darkness and death while we wait in suspended animation for the creative cycle to begin again with the rising sun.
Pomegranate fruit, blood musk, black vanilla orchid, dark patchouli, sugared amber, black currant and deep myrrh.

Le Sacre du Printemps - Back Again
Due to multiple requests (and because I'm a sap!) Le Sacre du Printemps is again available for your enjoyment! Both lines will be live until the end of August, or until supples are exhausted; whichever comes first!
The Conjure Works
A big thank you to everyone who came out to celebrate The Conjure Works' petite opening last Saturday! It means more to me than you'll ever know! Things are still moving right along and we're getting close to being open to the public. I'm thinking we'll be open for business toward the end of this week. Stay tuned! We're also still accepting donations if you'd like to contribute and support the Conjure Works from a distance! If you donate $25 or more, you'll receive a 5ml bottle of Gratitude! Click HERE for the scent description and the donate button!
Meanwhile, here are some more recent pictures of the space and of the party. A good time was had by all!

Looking in on the space toward the counseling area and the couch which everyone covets.

The oil mines are hidden behind the couch and blinds. No one should be subjected to that level of chaos! :D

There was such a good turn out for the celebration! Miss Lucy had a blast and the Rose City Steampunks, Local 23 were out in full force!
Lammas blessings,
Vajra
