Couture Perfumer JoAnne Bassett Launches Holiday 2013 Natural Perfume Gifts And Reveals the ?Most Expensive Soap? in the World

Cardiff-by-the-Sea, Calif. ? August 1, 2013 ? Couture perfumer JoAnne Bassett of award-winning JoAnne Bassett Perfumes today launches her Holiday 2013 Natural Perfume Gifts as well as ?The Most Expensive Soap in the World.?

?Why natural perfumes for holiday gifts? In France, a couturier is more than an artisan. Bassett considers herself a parfum couturier or custom perfumer because she handcrafts each and every bottle and, in many cases, mixes her fragrant potion to her client?s specifications as well as artfully prepares them in artisan packaging. Who wouldn?t want exquisite handmade, all-natural perfume under the holiday tree?

Luscious Roses Perfume

Encased inside a four-inch tall, hand-blown ruby red glass bottle, Luscious Roses is a decidedly feminine perfume with floral notes from several exotic rose oils including Bulgarian damask, rare white Bulgarian alba, rose otto as well as vanilla absolute, vintage patchouli, lush tuberose, earthy frankincense, powdery balsam and refreshing bergamot for lift. This classic floral perfume has the strength of classic French salon fragrances in an organic base of golden jojoba oil. The clear glass dauber makes the perfume easy to apply and creates an air tight seal. Each exclusive, limited edition Luscious Roses perfume is crafted individually, signed and dated. $400 for one-quarter ounce perfume inside a gold foil pattered box with creamy white silk pillow and creamy white silk bag.

Intimacy Eau de Parfum

A FIFI 2012 nominee, Intimacy Eau de Parfum is bliss for oak moss lovers. Rich and voluptuous, Intimacy is crafted as a circa 1917 chypre with earthy scents of oak moss, bergamot, vintage jasmine, vintage Mysore sandalwood, iris root, vanilla absolute, vintage patchouli, natural musk, labdanum and rose oils. $150 for one ounce spray nestled inside a gold foil box with a creamy white silk bag and creamy white silk pillow.

The World?s Most Expensive Rose Soap

JoAnne Bassett?s all-natural Rose Soap may be the most expensive soap ever. Why does a 3 oz. bar cost $90? Because each Rose Soap bar contains some of the world?s most expensive certified organic ingredients such as Bulgarian rose otto, Bulgarian white rose hydrosol, Bulgarian rose wax and essential oils of rose geranium, roman chamomile, rosewood and sandalwood. The soaps, which feel like silk on the body and smell utterly delicious, are also crafted with oils of extra virgin olive, babassua, virgin coconut, virgin hempseed, expeller-press grapeseed, unrefined shea butter and Alaffia cooperative virgin non-plantation palm. $90 for a 3 oz. bar wrapped in a creamy white silk bag inside a gold foil box.
