I went to the Four Seasons Resort, The Biltmore Santa Barbara in Montecito, CA last week with a lady friend and client from Seattle, WA.?? What a fabulous time!? The weather was cool and life was easy.? We had great wine and cheese for happy hour overlooking the Pacific.? Nice breezes blowing and the scent of flowers in the air.

She is back in Seattle with her husband and family and I am back to creating and selling perfumes..Life is good.

Hamlet:
To be, or not to be, that is the question:
Whether ’tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune,
Or to take arms against a sea of troubles
And by opposing end them.

Today I feel like this lily shoot rising up to the sky…all possibilities are open to me…I will triumph over my challenges.? I will open into a gorgeous lily blossom.? I will be white with purity and will blush with pink enhancements.? My blossoms will be profuse and profound.? My sweet and soft floral scent will attract what I need.? I will succeed and thrive.? I am grateful.

MARIE ANTOINETTE – Marie Antoinette adorned her body with many precious jewels and fine gowns. She had many fragrant potions to lavish on herself. This perfume is one of her precious potions. It is made for a Queen and that Queen is you. From the moment you spray it on you will be transported and feel a new sense of well being and purpose for your life.

A lush, spicy floral oriental. A favorite of my clients.

Interview With Botanical Couture Perfumer JoAnne Bassett: Of Enfleurage And Renoir

These beautiful soft white and pink lilies are very special to me.? They have a sweet softness about them.?
The soothing fragrance exuding from them is a perfume I would love to bottle…I do not think a tincture of the flowers would do them justice…I will have to be patient and wait for them to bloom each year..Enjoy!
