Couture Perfumer JoAnne Bassett Launches Gay Weddings Collection

?Rose Kiss & Rose Smoke Duo Anointing Oils Celebrates The Queen of Flowers

?Cardiff-by-the-Sea, Calif. ? August 8, 2013 ? Couture perfumer JoAnne Bassett of award-winning JoAnne Bassett Perfumes today launches her Gay Weddings Collection of exquisite all-natural perfume gifts for grooms, brides and those family members and friends who are seeking truly extraordinary wedding present ideas.

Why natural perfumes for gay wedding 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 on their gay wedding day?

Unisex Rose Kiss & Ross Smoke Coffret Duo for Grooms and Brides

Shipped straight to the bride/bride or groom/groom in a gold-foiled box, JoAnne Bassett?s unisex Rose Kiss & Rose Smoke Coffret Duo brings feminine and masculine fragrances together in one stunning package.

For those who wear the wedding dress in your new family, Rose Kiss is a decidedly light and feminine fragrance. Ross Kiss is perfect for brides as there?s a sweet innocence about this perfume from the soft, soothing notes of rose, baby powder and talc. Centered around Egyptian damask rose absolute (rosa damascena), Rose Kiss ?radiates an aura of rosiness, yet never gets overpowering or too much to bear,? so says a recent professional perfume reviewer. ?The natural sheer muskiness of the roses themselves, heightened by heavenly resins and edible sweetness, make Rose Kiss sexy, but never common. Mature, but never old or dated, with an eternally youthful heart this perfume takes the timeless association of roses with love and romance, bottles it and seals it with a fragrant lingering kiss.?

When the wedding dress comes off, it?s time for Rose Smoke. This scintillating scent has soft notes of rose contrasted with bold and mysterious smells of musk and barrel-aged bourbon. Rose Smoke awakens the senses and attracts . ?The rose featured here is Rose de Mai (May rose),? writes the reviewer, ?A softer gentler rose than the Damask, this rose has a creamy texture to it that may not smell as strongly as its Turkish cousin but is denser and richer. The intrinsic charm of this particular rose is magnified with the sweet aura of French vanilla and the dark earthy tobacco absolute.?

Sacred Scents Book

JoAnne Bassett has recently released a book titled ?Sacred Scents,? which is available on Amazon. Here is what one reviewer is saying about this educational book: ?Part story, part memoir, part spiritual treatise this book was like sitting and chatting with the author/perfumer herself. She speaks of the virtues of natural perfumes, her own personal journey to perfumer and tries to peer behind the curtain at why scent is so powerful to us and how it can be harnessed for personal growth and spiritual happiness. It is a quick read, but quite profound.?
