Summer Solstice Perfumes For Support

June 20th, 2024 by

What does the summer solstice symbolize?

It’s often said to be a time of new beginnings; with the changing of the seasons, we say goodbye to a long, stagnant period of self-reflection and welcome the fiery energy of the sun to propel us forward. This very physical changing of the seasons is a powerful time to manifest spiritual transformations.

The first day of summer is the longest day of the year.  This year it is today June 20 in the USA.

As a child going to school I could not wait for summer vacation. “Going up to the lake”, staying in a cabin at a resort in Minnesota or Wisconsin.  Visiting old family friends and relatives, going swimming, barbecues, picnics, fishing in the lake from the dock or in a boat, parades, fairs, celebrations, and much more.

The summer went by so quickly.  On this first day of summer… let’s make the most of this day and this season.  Explore, do some new forms of exercise, meditate or pray.. get spiritual…  and see what makes you tick. What new project do you want to start now?  What new books do you want to read this summer?  What makes you happy now? What are you grateful for?

And for the release of the old.. what no longer serves you that you can let go of?  People, places and things.  Journal to get to the bottom of the matter and then make the change. You will be happier by Labor Day if you release it now…

If you haven’t been to my JoAnne Bassett website for a while perhaps it is time to revisit it.  Magical Perfumes and Empowering Perfumes to support you on your journey.

Sending blessings to you all on this auspicious day.

April Fool’s Day 20% Off Sale

March 26th, 2024 by

Looking at the calendar I marvel at the thought …in a few days I am going to be 70 years old. Wow.. April 1 is my birthday and it is not an April Fool’ s Day joke!

So I decided to have a 20% off sale at Etsy to celebrate this major achievement.  There is even a name for people who are 70 years… it is a septuagenarian.

My rose bushes are leafing out and I notice I have a few buds on some in front of the house. It may be 80 degrees on my birthday… would love to have a rose bloom.

At this point I have pink azaleas, red azaleas, and red camelias blooming in my yard. I notice that I have a peony bush. have not had one for years. The daffodils are all done blooming and many wildflowers – weeds are flowering. A very beautiful time of year.

This photo was taken in 2017 when I lived in Texas… I look like this still accept I no longer color my hair. My hair is now 50% gray/silver and 50% brown.  It’s not photo worthy. Thought it would be all gray at 70 years.

Hope you can take advantage of the sale… so I can clear out some more inventory.  Never started my “retirement” nor did I sell my company. I still have formulas for sale if anyone is interested.

Happy Spring and Happy Birthday to me!

Seize the Day!

March 6th, 2024 by

The Divine Collection is a collection of 100% natural perfumes. The five distinctive perfumes are Blessings, Divine Guidance, Gratitude, Intention, and Prosperity. These natural fragrances smell like nothing I have ever experienced. Otherworldy… I was working with an extremely high positive vibration. This high energy was off the charts.

Every energetic perfume in this collection made me smile. You must try them all. The Divine Collection – All things Divine!

BLESSINGS: A citrus burst of sunshine. A ray of light captured in a bottle. Wear this natural perfume and feel beyond blessed.
Notes – tangerine, ylang ylang extra, yellow mandarin, key lime, lavender Bulgaria, cedarwood

DIVIINE GUIDANCE: From the Sacred green spikenard to the Holy basil, this perfume resonates with ancient chants. Allow this perfume to “whisper” to you.
Notes – green spikenard, holy basil, hydrodistilled Oman frankincense, wild orange, lemon, basil, spearmint, juniper

GRATITUDE: With a truck load of damask roses and enough jasmine sambac to line your path; your heart will open. Feel the loving gratitude swelling up from within.
Notes – celery seed, combava – Keffir lime, jasmine sambac, Bulgarian rose damask, cardamon, light patchouli, sweet orange

INTENTION: From the first whiff you will feel the smoke rising; clearing the energies. Now is the time to “speak” your intentions into creation.

These are traditional classic perfumes made with real essential oils and absolutes. No toxic, synthetic fragrance oils! They are all natural eau de perfumes in organic grape alcohol from wine grapes.

——————————————————————————————
Natural fragrances are not like synthetic, commercial, department store fragrances. They will not last all day. You need to apply the fragrance to your skin or your clothing and re apply them as needed.

They can last from 4 hours to 8 hours or longer depending on the formula and your skin. For extreme self care I ask you to anoint yourself and reapply them. It is like giving yourself a blessing. The perfumes in organic jojoba oil have a higher concentration of the essential oils and absolutes so will last longer than the eau de perfume and eau de toilette in organic grape alcohol.

No synthetics, phthalates, parabens, isolates, or nature identicals.
They are cruelty free with no animal testing.

They are available on my Etsy store.. and I am having a 20% off sale there now to help with the SEO with my store.

The 1 ml samples in an organdy bag are available here.

The 5 ml travel sprayers in an organdy bag are available here.
