Her Custom Natural Perfume-Making Classes take resort guests on a 60-minute aromatic journey using her decades of experience as a natural artisan perfume creator or parfums couturier.

JoAnne resides in the flower power region of North San Diego County so she can be close to the ocean and the flower fields, but she is available to teach classes at Southern California’s finest hotels. The cost for each class is usually $200, but only $150 per resort guest and includes one 4 ml bottle of perfume made from the finest natural ingredients.

Customized Natural Perfume-Making Class

While on what feels like an aromatic journey, guests gently inhale luxurious scents like precious essences of rose, champa, and sandalwood. They are guided by JoAnne Bassett as their expert guide to craft their very own signature natural perfume made with the finest ingredients. These fun, educational, and sweet-smelling workshops are literally made rewarding when guests return to their rooms and their homes with a gold-topped, four-millileter (4 ml) perfume bottle.

The classes are suited for both men and women. JoAnne says her students learn about the roles of top, middle and base notes when it comes to smelling her expensive oils, essences and absolutes. After smelling, the perfume-making process begins in earnest. JoAnne even helps guests name their signature scent and also provides tips on how to store, how to wear natural perfumes and how to extend the smell all day.

To learn about fragrance classifications, JoAnne takes her students on a “perfume smell version of a wine tasting. This fragrance flight consists of nine perfumes starting light with citrus and soft florals and then to heavier fragrances like floral orientals, woods, tobacco scents, and resins.

JoAnne is without parallel as a designer of couture fragrances. She has the ability to define the most personal attributes of her client and somehow place them in a bottle. She does this with a genuineness, warmth, integrity and style that makes the entire experience a dream. If ever one desired to do something amazing and unique, having JoAnne create a custom fragrance would be it. Michael K. B

What is a Parfum Couturier

In France, a couturier is more than an artisan. She makes her craft for each client individually with great care, attention to detail and in the spirit of the arts intended purpose. JoAnne Bassett considers herself a parfum couturier because she handcrafts each and every bottle and, in many cases, mixes her fragrant potion to her clients specifications as well as artfully prepares them in artisan packaging.

Like a fashion designer, JoAnne consults with her clients to learn about their particular tastes, dislikes, lifestyle and other energetic factors. She also uses her intuitive abilities to imbue the fragrance with the desired intention of the alluring fragrance. Is the parfum to be used to attract a new love or spark an old flame? Do you need a signature scent for business or pleasure? Are you ready to transform your immediate auric field in a simple way with 100 percent natural and rare Earth essences?

Using the finest essential oils, absolute essences and botanicals, she blends together fine works of fragrant art nestled inside a beautiful bottle. A master alchemist or couture parfumier knows how to perfectly blend 100 percent natural combinations of exquisite and rare essences that work on all levels of the body through a humans most powerful sense the sense of smell.

Why Natural Perfumes?

In the 90s when JoAnne Bassett was creating private label natural product lines for spas, she started formulating natural perfumes for spa owners. She realized that she was most attracted and impassioned by these adventures into this land of scents to heal and uplift.

The smells sent my nose, brain, body and spirit soaring free, says JoAnne. It was during this time JoAnne learned how all-natural fragrances can be used as a sweet-smelling tool to reach people by tapping into Nature?s power to energize, enlighten and empower.

Later, JoAnne studied the ancient French art of handcrafted parfumerie. Using the finest essential oils, absolute essences and botanicals, she trained herself to blend together fine works of fragrance art.

When available, JoAnne scavenges for wild and organic essences from all over the world. She never uses phthalates, synthetic aroma chemicals, nature identicals, isolates, artificial dyes, parabens, or petroleum products. Her products are never tested on animals and her lines are cruelty free. JoAnne uses organic jojoba oil in her parfums and organic grape alcohol from wine grapes for the eau de toilettes, and eau de parfums.

JoAnne Bassett crafts her natural parfums in North San Diegos quiet coastal countryside where flower growing is a serious agricultural business. She is passionate about her company using green products and sustainable materials, so she supports local farmers and distillers. JoAnne also uses refillable bottles and her sturdy, quality perfume boxes can also be reused and even kept as sacred heirlooms.

JoAnne Bassett Signature Perfume Collections

JoAnne was inspired from her studies to craft her ever-popular Royal Collection, including the classic parfums of Marie Antoinette, Madame Pompadour, Josephine, Napoleon, Petit Trianon, Magie D’Or, Malmaison and Versailles.
