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.

This is my DIY Natural Perfume Kit for $350.00

I recently created a small version of this Natural Perfume Kit.  I call it the Party Edition.  If you do not want to buy the large Perfume Kit with all of the extra essential oils and instructions, you now have a choice.  Many people want to have a Perfume Party for 20 people or less and do not want to spend $350.00 to do so.

I created this small Perfume Kit for the beginner and the people who just want a fun party for less money.  This new Natural Perfume Kit – Party Edition sells for $80.00.

Create Your Own Natural Perfume with this Perfume Kit for 20 people for a Perfume Party Bar, Bridal Parties, Birthday Parties, Tween Parties – contains age appropriate essential oils,  or for anyone to learn to make perfume.

This kit contains: 15 – 3 ml amber vials of essential oils, 15 paper blotters – test strips, 15 plastic pipettes, 20 empty 4 ml amber glass vials, 2 oz fractionated coconut oil and an easy to follow instruction sheet. A large Kraft box holds all of the materials.

This Natural Perfume Kit makes a great gift for Him or a gift for Her.  Surprise them for their birthday or the holidays.

You can purchase the Natural Perfume Kits here:

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.

Happy St. Patty’s weekend!

Many shops have sales to clear out inventory so I am offering my few boxes of the Sovereign Collection. These are the remaining purple or gray gift boxes that I have left.

Also I have listed vintage essential oils, and my Perfume Kit which I have a lot of in stock.

The Perfume Kit is a best seller at all of the holidays. It makes a great gift for both men and women. Lately I have been seeing it used for bridal showers, birthdays, and fun parties of friends.

It is on my Etsy store these items are 25% off.  The Sale ends Monday, March 18.  I have the Perfume Kit on my website on 25% off sale on my website also.

Mothers come in many different categories… Mothers, Stepmothers, Grandmothers, Plant Mothers, Pet Mothers, etc.  I am a Mother to my perfumes and perfume formulas.. I am also a Mother to houseplants, vegetable plants, and rose bushes.  That is a lot of mothering..no human children… but many other children I tend to…

I choose to participate in celebrating myself as I am always busy tending to something also.

A Mother’s Day tradition is to honor a Mother with a gift. A lovely energetic gift that will put a smile on their face is a natural perfume from one of my collections.  There are many perfumes to choose from in many fragrance categories. Citrus and floral are very popular choices for Spring and Summer.  I have compiled a listing of them on my page Choosing a Scent 

Sacred Elixir Collection

Some of my favorites are:

Opulence with the elegance and delight of orange blossoms! A light scent that is so happy to wear.

Ecstasy with Alba rose otto the “flower of light”, jasmine, amber and vanilla to create a fantastic perfume that will envelop you.

Luscious Roses a most precious natural rose perfume containing vanilla, tuberose and 6 different “real” roses.  This is unheard of… most rose perfume on the market is the toxic, synthetic rose fragrance made in a lab.  How can you possibly wear that poison?  To me it is like wearing Roundup weed killer… let that sink in.

Choose your size from 1 ml eau de perfume, 4 ml parfum, 5 ml eau de perfume travel sprayer,  6 ml parfum, and 1 oz eau de perfume.  Do not forget the Divine and Royal Alchemy I add to all of my precious, complex perfumes.

There are also some perfume supplies, gift box sets of botanical perfume, essential oils, etc on my Etsy store.

Enjoy the ritual of applying a natural scent daily … uplift your vibration, feel better, feel more love for yourself and others while opening your heart chakra… it starts there…

Happy Mothers Day to all.

Fall in love with yourself… your best friend …or a complete stranger…  take a risk. 

For Valentine’s Day I am also including a  natural perfume ” Radiance“.  You will receive a free 5 ml travel sprayer of this fun eau de parfum with the purchase of a 6 ml Bubble of Divine Love parfum in oil or a 6 ml Divine Destiny parfum in oil. This is a $30.00 value!

I have 36 roses growing in pots now.  It is so much fun getting back to growing more roses… of different types.

This year I am also experimenting with growing vegetables from seed in pots also.  There is hard red clay in North Carolina and pots are much easier for now.

There are many flowering trees, red bud trees, bulbs blooming, and forsythia blooms in my neighborhood.  Also the pine pollen is covering everything. Welcome to Spring!

JoAnne Bassett Artisan Natural Perfumer

On this day I would like to remind everyone that there is no such thing as competition. We really are only competing with ourselves. Read that again. Relationships have been lost to this addiction we have in our culture. Do better than yesterday and never mind where someone else is in their journey..it is their life not yours. This time on earth is all about the choices YOU make.. not the woman down the street or at the office.. they have their own choices…

I created many natural perfumes that are in support of people on many levels.. All people!  My alchemy was added to all perfumes to raise our vibrations.. to love and above on the Hawkin’s scale. Peace, joy, love, enlightenment.. These are the levels my perfumes activate in you. Quantum Physics makes it so..

Watch your self talk during the day… no complaining… no putting your self down.  Do some self care everyday.  Whether that means going for a walk or taking a bath, or spraying on some of my mood elevating natural perfumes.

Some of my collections are especially for empowerment. Empowerment is the process of becoming stronger and more confident, especially in controlling one’s life and claiming one’s rights. My Empowerment Collection contains:

Opulence for self esteem, Indulgence for confidence, Temptress for sensuality, Dark Mistress for sexuality, and 1/2 ml Luscious Roses eau de perfume to open your heart, for self love, and for the ability to give and receive love and abundance.

Another favorite perfume from the Empowerment Collection is

Radiance: Empowering women one breath at a time.

Radiate in your feminine essence! Feel your brilliance. Don’t dim your light.

An elegant, refreshing, citrus floral with a hint of spice and light and mellow patchouli. Like a breath of fresh air. The intention is empowerment.

One of my most popular fragrances I have is in my Sovereign Collection sold on Etsy.  Become Sovereign..

Perfect As I AM eau de perfume
Just as the name implies believe in yourself! Release all unworthiness. You are whole so embrace yourself fully. This perfume is a very beautiful floral. Spray this on and give yourself a big hug. When you love and appreciate yourself, you become sovereign. You create your world.

For a beautiful gift for yourself or friends, go to my shop Rose Lovers Gifts on Etsy and choose large coffee mugs, tea mugs, tote bags, computer laptop sleeves, rugs, pillows, and shower curtains.. all with photos of roses or watercolor roses on them.

Be the best you can be.. begin it today! Enjoy!
