Luscious Roses Limited Edition Parfum

October 21st, 2012 by

Luscious Roses Limited Edition Parfum?

From Facebook:? Henrique Brito wrote: Luscious Roses is dedicated to one of the essences that JoAnne Bassett loves, the smell of roses. In almost all of her fragrances you find rose and it?s used by the perfumer for both the delicate aroma as its healing properties. In Luscious Roses she creates a fragrance dedicated to one the most venerated flowers but opting to represent it in a more abstract way, choosing a mix of 6 different roses that are supported by a background base of vanilla, patchouli, balsam and frankincense. The roses, as star, dominate most of the composition and sound as freshly harvested and natural; they are not like the thick extracted rose smell but more like the flower in its delicacy. There is a quick sweet citric opening and then the roses smell soon is evident, at first more green, later more fruity and then in a third phase more musky and satiny. At this phase you can notice a sheer incense, at the background, giving evidences that the fragrance heads to the final phase. Its base it?s dark but delicate as the roses that comes before it and make an interesting contrast of an aroma which works as a second skin but that it?s a dark mixture of boozy vanilla, sweet and earthy patchouli and a resinous balsam. Being a 100% natural fragrance makes Luscious Roses whisper instead of shouting on skin, but even that its aroma is delicate it last quite well for a natural composition, more than 6 hours of a cozy and silky aroma of precious and beautiful roses.

Temptress Limited Edition Parfum Review

October 17th, 2012 by

From Facebook: Henrique Brito?s review:

It?s true that Temptress opens in a strong way, but this seduced know very well how to play her seduction ways in a complex and yet extremely pleasant way. One of the reasons that she makes you want more is quite evident from the first moment you apply it on skin: she is delicious. JoAnne Bassett matches perfectly several essences and something you end noticing on all of her fragrances is that in all of the themes she proposes she will apply high quality essences, rare to find in fragrances, and in a careful combination, in a way that each essence fits perfectly the theme created. In Temptress, she does it starting with a mouthwatering combination of citrusy fruits, that has a fresh and slightly sweet smell and that makes me think of tangerines. As the scent starts to develop on skin this seduction game is played, at this second moment, using sensual flower extracts, that smell sensual, but not overwhelming. It?s interesting that JoAnne uses on Temptress a jasmine that doesn?t have any indolic aspect and that it?s able to continue the fruity citric opening under a more floral perspective of a discreet green aspect. The rose gives it a delicate floral aroma of musky and fruity nuances and it?s perfectly mixed with the jasmine. Surrounding the flowers you have a secundary incense theme that confers them a slighty smoky and resinous aura. The seduction game played by this temptress ends in a discreet vanillic and lavender base, without too much sugar or cream from the vanilla or too much caramel and herbs from the lavender and it?s balanced by a slightly use of an earthy patchouli. This Temptress is full of tricks and those are the ones that i?m able to undestand from its complex idendity, being this one of her main seduction tricks: she leaves you wanting more because you cannot completely decipher her at once.

Timeless Limited Edition Parfum Review

October 15th, 2012 by

From Facebook:? Henrique Brito?’s Review:

Don?t be fooled by the color of Timeless?s beautiful bottle. This rich perfume lacks anything aquatic, fresh or ozonic, but is able to convey a peaceful and serene aura, but still mysterious, by combining? Woody, resinous and incense essences. Timeless is in style somehow linked with fragrances like Armani Prive Bois d?Encens, Parfums d?Empire Wazamba and Serge Lutens Fille En Aiguilles due the? mysterious incense aura that they all have. But unlike the aforementioned, he passes an impression more cozy and soft, which begins dense and start to soften after the opening and remains constant. The first moments are of a thick and dry herbal basil aroma, but not harsh on the skin, and is followed by the combination of incense, fir balsam and elemi resin. The balsam fir is quite evident and it is what gives the resemblance to the Wazamba and Fille en Aiguilles, a Woody and dry aroma that perfectly combines with incense. Elemi resin gives a subtle sweetness that helps balance the incense and the fir and gives greater wealth to resinous and Woody aroma. It is possible to detect the vetiver from the opening, but it is become more intense as the scent progresses, giving the fragrance?s drydowna woody, but not aggressive aura. Balance is a word that comes to mind when smelling Timeless on skin, probably due to the curative aspect to which JoAnne created it. It?s not be maybe a healing for the body, but for the soul, a moment of relaxation and peace obtained through their resins, incense and Woods.
