WHAT I SMELL:  Woody Conjure’s opening is composed of this very warm, deep and intoxicating cedar.  It’s like a fine sheen of rich wood and fir.  There’s an oppulance about it as if it resides within the snow covered trees in the coldest of Russia.  After a few minutes, a light spice is added and just a hint of oud.  There’s also a buttery quality about the perfume which adds to the elegance.  As rich and handsome as this is, it remains relatively contained and I find that it’s makes for a mysterious and sexy skin scent.  After another 15 minutes a woody leather emerges which helps to make the perfume grow.  What began in the woods, has now moved to the confines of a classical and majestic winter house.  In the end, the musk becomes more prominent leaving you with this warm, woody, musky fur blanket.  The warmth and quiet power of Woody Conjure holds you captive, but with quiet resolve rather than force.  Is it groundbreaking?  No.  But it is a nice woody masculine treat.

BOTTOM LINE:  Signature Fragrances debuted this past year and all of their perfumes are composed of perfumed oil and as such, a little dab will go a long way.  Even though they are perfumed oils, the prices make these perfumes very accessible.  And adding to the beauty of the fragrances are the lovely bottles in which the perfumes come in.  Let’s face facts, a pretty bottle can make a perfume all that more special.
