Fragrance information:
Mysterious and powerful, Invocation Sauge du Desert, released in 2015 by the niche brand Invocation, is a unisex composition that instantly transports you to the arid expanses of the American Southwest.
Belonging to the Green and Spicy fragrance families, it comes in eau de parfum concentration and has a very strong trail.
Brand Philosophy and a Shamanic Approach
Invocation is more than just a perfume brand; it is a deeply spiritual project by Luc Bourgault (Blue Eagle), a writer and keeper of Abenaki traditions.
Each composition is created in collaboration with a hereditary shaman, while the herbs are gathered at strictly designated times to preserve their energetic charge.
Sauge du Desert is no exception: this fragrance quite literally breathes ancient rituals and purification.
One Note, Yet Infinite
At the heart of the perfume is a single note of wormwood (artemisia), specifically Artemisia tridentata—“Desert Sage,” as Native Americans call it.
This is a bitter-spicy, resinous herbal accord that Native Americans have used for centuries in smudging rituals and to dispel negative energy.
The fragrance unfolds with dry, smoky warmth, as though you were sitting by a campfire beneath the desert’s starry sky.
Trail and Application Recommendations
Thanks to its very strong trail, Sauge du Desert should be applied sparingly: one or two sprays on the neck or wrists are enough.
When applied to clothing, the fragrance may last for several days, becoming softer and cozier over time.
It is an ideal choice for meditation, winter walks, or moments when you want to retreat from the hustle and bustle.
Who It Is For and How to Wear It
The fragrance is positioned as unisex, though its tart, earthy soul reveals itself best in colder weather.
If you enjoy unusual, “dry” compositions with tea, vetiver, or wormwood accords, Sauge du Desert may become your talisman.
Fragrances with a similar mood include Brocard Lykke, Guerlain Les Quatre Saisons Winter Delice, and Weleda Jardin de Vie Grenade.
Experience the power of American wormwood, and feel how it purifies the space around you. Official brand website: www.lbel.com/pe/.
