I received a strange email that said my invoice could not be delivered.  It was from Paypal with their logo and the 888 or 800 numbers in the body of the email.  I was alarmed and went to the paypal.com website and found the contact phone number.  After a couple days of crazy happenings with my paypal account, I discovered my paypal actual account had been hacked,  men from India had done it with their Android phone.  That was the only thing that told me someone had taken over my account. I do not have an Android phone so someone being logged into my account for several days was a big problem. The next thing I know $228k total of money request invoices were sent out to many people with emails I do not recognize.  I canceled all of those invoices.. as soon as I saw them in my account.

After several days on the phone with the real paypal they were able to disconnect my account from this android phone from India.  Very scary.  Not sure where they got this list of names and emails from as I did not recogize any of them.  Well of course people complained about their receiving an invoice for $3,000+ from me … that I did not send.  Paypal closed my account.. and I cannot open another one.  Therefore my shopping cart on my www.JoAnneBassett.com website no longer works. Looking at the thousands of Paypal complaints at the Better Business Bureau online I am now grateful that my shopping cart is disconnected. They did not support the business that got their Paypal.com account page hacked. It was not my website that got hacked. They blamed me and the fraudsters go free.

You can still order from my website that has all of my perfumes.  The Etsy site does not have all of them. You can send me an email to joanne@joannebassett.com, tell me what you want to order and we can arrange the payment through Venmo.  Pay for it on Venmo – @JoAnne-Bassett-5.  I will send you a Venmo invoice to pay. My website will be updated with Natural Perfumes Blog posts like this one.

Earlier this year I had started a new website with Shopify.  I ran into some problems loading my products and the setup features and decided to keep my website and shopping cart. Too much work.

My Etsy store works just fine so you can buy my natural perfumes, perfume kits and supplies there. I do not have all of the all natural perfumes on Etsy so you can email to order from my website as an option.  Also Etsy takes a 10% fee.

For years I have been wanting to sell my formulas and my JoAnne Bassett company.  Some formulas sold and there have been some offers, not a good fit so far.  I am calling it in now as this is another incident that brings me stress.

If you want to buy natural perfumes that I have created using Divine and Royal Alchemy now is the time.  I do not know how much longer I will be selling them.

Thank you all for your support.

We have so much to be thankful for this year!  The Biltmore House was not very much affected by the Hurricane Helene flooding and more.

I decided to run an Early Black Friday Sale this year as I may be very busy over the Thanksgiving and Christmas Holiday. Please visit my Etsy store to receive 20% off the whole store starting today and ending Monday, November 18. 

Thank you for supporting JoAnne Bassett Natural Perfumes for all of these years.  I really appreciate each and every one of you.

Have a great holiday season.

JoAnne

I have been traveling for three weeks.  I have been all the way down the East Coast from the Outer Banks of North Carolina to Sarasota, Florida with the crystal Siesta beach. I  have gone North crossed the mountains to the Midwest. Sharing Thanksgiving with some relatives is a change for me this year. Seeing people I have not seen in a very long time.

There is healing and closure going on for myself and others. The end of the year…and the  beginning of new things in my life.

So I decided to open my Etsy Store and my website JoAnne Bassett so people can order for the holidays. I will be back in 5 to 7 days to begin shipping for December.

Please get your orders in early so I know what needs to be mailed. I am also in the process of moving so I will close my stores again before Christmas.

I hope you all have a great Thanksgiving.  I am grateful for you all and my lovely perfumes that make people smile, feel good and empowered.

I am offering a 10% off Thank You Sale in my Etsy shop.  There is a marketing practice on Etsy when a person favorites your shop or favorites your item they will be notified of a sale.  They also can receive a 10% off Thank you coupon when they make a sale.

In order for the person to receive any benefit from putting my shop or items on their favorite list they get notified of a sale. So if I do not have a sale… for months they receive no coupon or notice of such. Anyway I have decided to reward the people who have done this now. Anyone who purchases something in my shop now will receive 10% off their purchase.  This is worldwide.  This 10% off will end December 5, 2022.

Thank you for being my clients and suggesting my Etsy shop as your favorite shop with your favorite items.  I appreciate you.

I also appreciate the 5 star reviews people have given me on Etsy and on my JoAnne Bassett Perfumes Facebook page.  Please post your photos and reviews on these pages and on my Instagram page.

Ho Ho Ho! The Holidays are starting early this year.

I just returned home from a week away in Boston, Plymouth, and Newport, RI. Celebrating with family and sightseeing for 1 week.

Last year the US postal service and UPS had a hard time keeping up and some people were not able to receive their gift packages in time to present them to their friends and family. I decided to start early this year.

My Holiday sale is on now from November 16 through December 3.  It is only on my Etsy store.  Buy $50.00 or more and receive 20% off.  This is for my whole Etsy store. 

This is a world wide sale on all products on my Etsy store.

Last year I sold a lot of Perfume Kits. They make fabulous gifts.  Sample sets are great stocking stuffers. I have a handful of beautiful foil boxes left.  Precious and rare essential oils and absolutes are available.

Rose Lovers Gifts is another Etsy store I have. Many coffee mugs are available there with photos of my roses and other roses.  I have also added tote bags, shower curtains, bath rugs,  computer cases, pillow covers, pillows with watercolor roses, etc.

I have Perfume Formulas available for sale …with or without the alchemy attached.  Would you like to carry on my legacy?  This is what my intention is with selling the formulas.  I am not selling the Customer List and “my brand JoAnne Bassett”.  I am selling just the perfume formulas and you can begin selling these perfumes that have brought so much joy to so many people for many years.  Send me an email joanne@joannebassett.com if you have further questions.  Please review other blog posts where I talk about the prices and there is more information.

Have a great holiday season… and please get your orders in early!

I am getting ready to fly North for a week.  That will mean I will be gone during the 11:11 portal.

In June when I announced I was selling my perfume formulas, perfume supplies, perfume kits, and all perfumes, essential oils and absolutes in inventory that meant I was no longer creating portal perfumes, custom potions or custom perfumes.

What I would like to see is people buying my natural perfumes that are encoded, activated with royal and divine alchemy perfumes that are available on my website and my Etsy site. My Bubble of Divine love and other transformational perfumes are all lit up and ready for you to experience.  All of my perfumes have been activated and encoded to high frequencies and are in the Love and above category on the Hawkins scale.  Those include Love, Joy, Peace and Enlightenment.

My Goddess Collection  added in 2021 with Lakshmi, Quan Yin, Isis, Bastet and Thoth are splendid and everyone must experience these energies.

Also my latest Private Reserve Perfumes People have paid as much as $5,000 to experience a Custom Perfume with these expensive and rare natural essences. I am offering them at $50 each as an eau de parfum in a travel sprayer. These are luxury perfumes I am offering until the raw materials are gone. When the oils are gone the listings will be deleted.

With the busy holiday season coming my wish is that we support the small businesses like JoAnne Bassett perfumes.  Why do we need to worry about the cheap junk we buy from China waiting on container ships to be off loaded?  Forget about the cheap junk of the big box stores.  Support your local small businesses and online businesses who depend on your sales to make a living for their families.  Please Shop America.  Let’s grow our economy!

I feel like this lovely woman… I just want to float with rose petals..

Since having these sales on my website and Etsy Shop I have found myself extremely busy…funny how that works!

Monday, December 20 is my last day to order from my website and Etsy shop.  Then my Etsy shop will be on vacation mode and I will not process any orders on my website.

If you are interested in my 20% to 50% off on perfume kits, perfume supplies, rare vintage essential oils etc.. not sold on my website.. go to my Etsy site now.

I will be creating the Portal Perfume of the year 12-21  The Grand Conjunction combined with Winter Solstice will be the totally amazing energy and I am going to capture it! This new Age of Aquarius and Golden Age energy will be a huge time of new beginnings.. for manifesting!  What is on your list? Is Santa coming to your house? If you have not ordered this 12-21 Portal Perfume .. go there now.  They will be created on Tuesday, December 21 for the people who I have orders for.  They will not be available after the 20th!

My Mastery 2020 Collections of Abundance, Love and Purpose are coming to an end as the year 2020 ends.. get your orders in before Monday, December 20th.

This has been an amazing year of growth on so many levels…it has given me a large reality check on so many levels. What have you learned?

My Perfume Formulas are for sale for a win win opportunity for the right person.  Please send me an email to inquire.

I want to wish you all a very happy holiday and Merry Christmas!  I will be moving and driving to Florida… ready for some sun and beach time again.

May all your dreams come true!

Alchemically yours,

JoAnne

We Three Kings is a new Holiday eau de parfum I am offering right now.  Christmas songs and gifts of the Magi often refer to Frankincense and Myrrh.  My new perfume contains a rare Royal Green Hojary frankincense.  I started planning this December offering months ago… For all of you frankincense lovers out there.. this incense scent is a tribute to a very special and sacred ingredient I have had for some time.  This is different than my Royal Alchemy with the Sacred Frankincense.

It is offered in the $150.00 gift box with a 1 ounce eau de parfum and a free 5 ml travel sprayer filled with this magnificent essence in a lovely peacock box. It is also offered in a travel sprayer for $30.00.  Now these are on sale at 50% off until December 1.. coming up on Tuesday!!  Purchase the travel sprayer in the close out section of prices and email me your choice.

I want to remind you.. the 50% off sale ends Tuesday, December 1 and then the original prices will be set to 30% until the inventory is reduced.  

The Gift Boxes are starting to run low so if you want Sovreign Collection or any of the Gift Boxes with your favorite perfumes; now is the time. I am watching them go away as the orders come in.  I will not be reordering any boxes!!  If you order the 1 0z bottles of eau de parfum when the boxes run out you will receive a large satin bag for your perfume. Just a heads up.

The end of December I will be moving out of state.. and of course I will not be available to send out anything for weeks.. I have no idea what this time frame looks like nor do I know if your choice would even be available in a month!

Please tell your friends and family.. lots of great prices.. etc.

Some stocking stuffers would be the travel sprayers priced at $15.00 to $25.00 until Dec. 1. Also the perfume sample sets that also are a real bargain starting at $11.00 each in the drop down menu at the bottom of the page.

Remember I also have some items on my ETSY  site that are not on my website  These are perfume making supplies, the Perfume Kit, my vintage essential oils and absolutes, perfume bottles and caps, etc.

Please email me if there are any problems connecting to my website or ordering online.

Black Friday, Small Business Saturday, and Cyber Monday sales are all included in my Close out Sale prices.  Limited Quantities … Order today!

Hope you are enjoying your holiday.
