- Company: Conjure Oils
- Release Date: Seasonal LE, Winter 2008
- Category: Spicy smoke
- Description: Irish Cream, wisps of cigar tobacco, the faint smell of the Yule tree and just a hint of the ubiquitous holiday scent of cinnamon and baking spices.
While I applaud efforts like Conjure Oils' ZOMG! holiday contest (though I admittedly arrived late to the party...), I'm having trouble grasping the motivation other than the will and desire to connect with your user base. No, that's not to say that it isn't a noble endeavor - just that, when the customer is always right, when do you begin to say no?
Apparently, Conjure does not say no to smoky spicy so-called "holiday" festive blends. Yule After Hours is a polite cinnamon-and-tobacco number, but absolutely nothing new or extravagant. It's interesting in that it's a light smoky perfume, which is thanks to the cinnamon heart chord, but it's uninteresting in that it's yet-another-cinnamon-infused holiday perfume.
Here's what I think the perfumery world is missing when it comes to holiday LE's. A limited edition holiday fragrance should be like those in-laws you only invite over for your weird theme parties in the holidays: completely loud, a little obnoxious, sometimes embarrassing and overbearing, but altogether still something you just can't live without, at least once a year.
