Joya & Vane Shades of Dusk collection

Innovative perfume house Joya teamed up with New York's creative design group Vane to launch a new collection of hand crafted solid perfumes and jewelry for holiday season 2010, named Shades of Dusk. This collaboration reawakens old romantic rituals with mythical amulets merged with aphrodisiac scents.

Shades of Dusk collection consists of three new fragrances: Royal Jasmine, Moro Blood Orange and Starleaf. All three fragrances are packaged in special pieces of vintage jewelry; Royal Jasmine comes in Timepiece pocket watch, Moro Blood Orange is available in a large pendant Pin, and Starleaf is packaged in a heart-shaped accessory Brooch.

The design of this jewelry provides constant ventilation and spreading of the scents, which is activated by the heat of human skin. The solid perfumes are made in Brooklyn, NYC, based on entirely natural ingredients of carnuba and jojoba oils. The collection is a tribute to the skills and artistic works of New York.

Shades of Dusk collection is available from 29th November in U.S. and UK at the prices from 38 to 68 U.S. dollars. Timepiece retails for $68. Pin and Brooch are each $38.
