There is no passion to be found playing small – in settling for a life that is less than the one you are capable of living.

Nelson Mandela

Go to my Monthly Specials Page to receive a special offer on custom intuitive perfumes and other offerings. You can also send a gift certificate if you would like.

Don’t forget I am also donating 20 % of all my sales now through December 25 to the Typhoon Haiyan cause. ?Read more about it in my previous blog posts.

It’s that time of the year for holiday sales and as a Luxury Custom Intuitive Perfumer, I NEVER offer my perfumes on sale because if you’re a luxury shopper, you know that luxury items never go on sale. When my book “Sacred Scents” hit #1 Amazon best-seller a couple of months ago, the demand for my perfumes and my private workshops were at an all time high!

However, for this holiday season I have decided to make a special offer for my Custom Intuitive Perfumes. This is the FIRST TIME I am doing this because now I have a very good reason to do so.

My good friend Susan Ordona’s home town of Abuyog was devastated with the typhoon in the Philippines. Because of Susan’s cause I want my perfume to reach the hands of as many people as possible because my perfumes – and my loving, positive, intuitive and energetic intentions and artistry infused in them – have been known to transform the lives of so many people. There is a reason why royalty from all over the world as well as Hollywood celebrities and global thought leaders, come to me to create their very own perfumes. They feel absolutely supported, guided and empowered when they wear it. Though my high profile clients have requested me to keep their names in strict confidence, there are some who just become my raving advocates.

Emma Tiebens, a powerful lady – Best-selling Author, Speaker and Success Mentor, Inspirational Leader, wife and mother, is one of my favorite success stories. A year ago, I created a Custom Perfume for her as in her own words she “needed more confidence, clarity and empowerment”. Within months of wearing her perfume, she was able to increase what she’s asking for- her programs and services and she started attracting luxury clients who were literally begging to invest in her. She was also able to write her best-selling book in record time and she keeps in touch with me to share her quantum leap milestones with me. She absolutely feels unstoppable! You can Click Here? to watch her video and see other testimonials from people like her.

The potential for my perfume is so astounding! You’ll meet clients who come to me from all walks of life, women and men who are ready for a change. I create perfumes for housewives who want to be more empowered and find more purpose in their lives. Divorced men who are ready for embracing the next chapter in their lives. Entrepreneurs needing a financial breakthrough in their business and even C-Level Executives, Presidents and CEOs looking for more success with significance in their lives. Great opportunities often come to my clients after wearing their Custom Intuitive Perfume. I just recently received this quick Facebook Private Mail from a highly successful high-profile male client:

“Perfume is working – making great gains.”

Testimonial-?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

So, back to the big reason for my decision to do this. I am donating?20% of ALL sales from now until Christmas, Dec. 25, 2013 to my friend Susan’s cause. If you’ve been wanting to donate to this huge devastation in the Philippines, this is your chance to do so and by doing so, you could literally be transforming your life as well.

Again, I NEVER discount my luxury goods and probably never will. This is truly one of the rare opportunities that you will get to have your very own Luxury Custom Perfume – made just for you with your highest and best intentions in mind. I just started a new relationship with some powerful royal families in the Middle East, Europe and Hollywood celebrities and I know the demand will lead me to raising my prices again. With the price of rare and royal oils and the increasing demand for them, chances are I will not offer these prices again so I encourage you to act now.

Below are the perfumes that I have on sale as well as specific “Buy Now Buttons” you won’t find if you order in other pages of my website. If you need more clarification and have specific questions, please feel free to send me an email at joanne@joannebassett.com and I will do my best to get back with you. I expect this to be a frenzy as I know many people have been asking me for discounts in the past and now they have the opportunity to own their own Luxury Custom Perfume by JoAnne Bassett.

Going to Paris for business and pleasure recently was a great idea. ?October is off season and most of the tourists are gone. Looking out my window I am reminded I am in Paris. I love the architecture and the quaint neighborhoods. ?Not fond of looking straight down to the street although staying on the top floors is the best for views. ?The smells of the neighborhood consisted of fresh bagettes, cigarettes, rain, dry fall leaves, and dog doo on the sidewalk. Fresh caffe au lait was a welcome smell in the early hours.

Sainte Chapelle is a great example of High Gothic architecture. ?This chapel was built between 1242-1248 in accordance of the wishes of King Louis IX. ?It was built to house the relics of the Passion of Christ. ?It has a splendid upper chapel that was used for the royals and a lower chapel that is also remarkable. ?The photo is taken in the upper chapel with amazing 15 stained glass windows that tell “stories”. ?This chapel was a part of the Palais de la Cite which was the residence of the royals from the 10th to the 14th centuries. ?This chapel is being restored so the smells were of dust and scaffolding, metal and paint smells.

The line at the Louvre museum on Sunday morning was not as long as I thought it may be for this popular day. ?It was a cool windy overcast day so it was a perfect day for the Louvre. ?You can easily spend one whole day here. ?I especially love the old masters paintings and the Napoleon III apartments. ?This is a room from Napoleon III’s apartment. ?Love the chandelier and the gold gild on the walls, doors, and every surface imaginable. ?Very impressive when you are standing in this luxury. ?The smells at the Louvre consisted of old, dusty, patina finishes, tapestry, and worn leather.

I also went to the Palace of Versailles, boutiques, perfume boutiques, the Tuileries Gardens in all of their fall splendor, and many rues too many to name. This statue of Napoleon on his horse is at the entrance to the Palace of Versailles. ?The Metro and sidewalk cafes contain many smells of ?cheese, meat, wine, caffe, and chocolate. ?Sweet tarts and pastries were everywhere. Laduree macaroons tempted me more than once. ?If I erased the cigarette, cigar smoke and the overheated people in the Metro trains…it would be a pleasant experience. ?The smells of rain approaching and leaves falling added to the ambience.

Years ago I created the French Collection and Royal Collection after having been in France. ?I feel a new collection coming in! Stay tuned!

My?personal facebook page?has more photos and some videos I took with my iphone. ?Enjoy!

Where did the Summer go? ? Autumn is one week away and it is time to put away the Citrus and Citrus Floral fragrances. Now we must ?reach deeper into the rich amber?(Venus Amber comes to mind) woods, incense??(Timeless) and greens?(Vert). ?Chypre?(Intimacy) and all of the really intense fragrances become appropriate now!

The crowds in Southern California have left the beach. ?So it is time to leave the soft fragrances behind also. ?I now reach for the floral orientals, the orientals and the musky rich perfumes. ?There are some great choices in the Royal Collection. You can purchase samples to try and mix and match them. ?It is great fun. The More Life Collection and the Limited Collection offer great choices for fall.

Try the Italian Smoke for a rich tobacco smoke and velvet fragrance from the More Life Collection. ?The soy candle Exotica??is a complimentary perfumed candle that shares some of the same essential oils. Try it!

Have fun with the sample sets! ?There may be some hidden jewels in the bunch you cannot live without!

If you do not find anything you really like I offer Custom Intuitive Perfumes that are one of a kind bespoke perfumes. ?They are only for you and you will never find another person wearing your special fragrance.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Couture Parfumier JoAnne Bassett Launches Custom Natural Perfume-Making Classes

Cardiff-by-the-Sea, Calif.  May 31, 2013  Couture parfumier JoAnne Bassett brings her all-natural fragrances and exquisite fragrance-making talents to luxury hotels in Southern California. 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.

Guests come away from these highly educational classes with a better understanding of natural vs. synthetic perfumes as well as a custom-made bottle of perfume made from top-of-the-line essences, oils and botanicals. What could be a better way to remember a fond romantic or family vacation with a sweet-smelling spritz of fine all-natural perfume Plus, guests even name their scent, go home with their own fragrance formula, which they can re-order online anytime at www.JoAnneBassett.com.

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.

Next, she created lighter, more modern parfums from her More Life Collection such as Serendipity, Opulence, Ecstasy and Vert.

JoAnne is excited about the launch of her new Night And Day Duo. Held inside a gilt-edged butterfly box, two 30 ml bottles hold a perfect combination of light and sweet day perfume JoAnne calls Amazing along with her powerfully mysterious Dark Mistress for fragrant nighttime adventures.

Artisan Packaging

JoAnne believes packaging makes a difference when it comes to ordering perfumes online, so she takes care with each and every package. Imagine you, your wife, your girlfriend, your mother or your lover opening a gold foil box shaped like a book with beautiful pink or turquoise butterflies floating atop.

Inside, this gorgeous book box is lined with a plush creamy white silk pillow. Glass and gold-topped perfume bottles are enveloped in creamy white silk bags with matching silk pull-ties. Her gold-foiled book-like boxes are filled with creamy white silk cushions and the bottles are enveloped in a creamy white silk bag with matching tie ribbon. These gorgeously-decorated presents can also include a handwritten card edged in gold foil.
