The most popular Natural Perfume gift has been my Perfume Kits. The DIY Perfume Kit is the largest one and is for a woman or man who has an interest in blending essential oils to make candles and bodycare products. This DIY Perfume Kit has also helped many people start a perfume business.  It has everything you need to begin.

Some people use this perfume kit for a perfume party for 25 people or less and has 35 essential oils to choose from.  It has This Perfume Kit will make a great gift and will be sure to please.

Another great Valentine’s Day Gift is the Create Your Own Perfume – Party Edition.

This perfume kit is a smaller kit and can be used for a perfume party for 20 people or less.  It has 15 essential oils to choose from and is appropriate for younger people like tweens.

This year instead of buying a bouquet of roses or flowers… how about a natural perfume containing real rose otto and real floral oils from the flowers themselves.  We are talking about natural exotic essential oils and absolutes.

One of my all time favorite is Luscious Roses parfum in organic jojoba oil.  This exquisite parfum has 6 different roses and is the ultimate Valentine’s Day gift. A gift of love that will open your heart, heal your heart, help you receive and give love more freely and love yourself more.  Self love is so important.  How can you love anyone if you do not first love yourself. Give yourself this gift of roses today.  You are worth it!

Empowering women and men has been a mission of mine.  Many of us grew up in a dysfunctional home.  Our Mothers did not have the capacity to love us as we needed to be loved and cared for. They did not receive it themselves growing  up.  So let’s change the story and the DNA of our lineage.  It can start with you.

I put together this First Aid Kit to Empower People.

This kit includes 5 of my favorite natural perfumes I wear all of the time.

The 5 Natural Perfumes are Italian Smoke for grounding, Indulgence for heart opening and self esteem, Timeless for meditation and a general feel good, Josephine for abundance – financial and for all good things, and Contessa for confidence.

Just apply these perfumes when and where on your body you desire!

Order today to make sure your gift arrives in time.  I get pretty busy in the first week of February creating these perfumes and perfume kits.

My website shopping cart appears to be working now.  Some of the pages I removed the shopping cart so if that is the case please send the payment with Venmo.  If you want to email me what you would like to order with your address and phone number, please email at joanne@joannebassett.com

Have a great Valentine’s Day and don’t forget to get yourself something that will make you smile.

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.

I created Paradise eau de parfum recently and realized how fantastic vanilla absolute smells in floral perfumes.  Over the years I have made many real vanilla perfumes with the very expensive vanilla absolute. Tincturing the Madagascar and other vanilla beans in organic grape alcohol and waiting a year for them to really mature is also a labor of love that I perform.

Vanilla fragrances will never go out of style as they are so comforting to wear… in any season.

People have emailed to ask which of your natural perfumes contain vanilla. So today I decided to create a list of Vanilla perfumes on my Choosing A Scent page.

So there you go.  Have fun.

This beautiful photo is taken of the library at the Biltmore House in Asheville, NC.  This photo smiles Christmas and Holiday celebrations.

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.

I decided to run an Early Black Friday Sale this year as I may be very busy over the Thanksgiving and Christmas Holiday. Please visit my Etsy store to receive 20% off the whole store starting today and ending Monday, November 18. 

Thank you for supporting JoAnne Bassett Natural Perfumes for all of these years.  I really appreciate each and every one of you.

Have a great holiday season.

Autumn Equinox has come and gone.. the weather is becoming rainy, windy and much cooler.  This sweater weather is a good time to try out some new fragrances. A good choice would be my new Green Chypre I just launched.

Do you love the old vintage chypres with “real” oakmoss?  I love the green oakmoss traditional chypres and this one is delightful.  I am not listing many of the ingredients as I think the mystery is in wearing the scent. Reading the list of  notes does not tell you how it will feel on your skin mixing with your emotions. Try this one now.  I have 3 new all natural perfumes that are great choices for fall.

Chypre – Chypre fragrances are warm and dry and almost all built round a woody, mossy accord of bergamot, oakmoss, patchouli and labdanum (from the cistus, or ‘rock rose’, plant)

GREEN CHYPRE – Chypre Floral – Real oakmoss, orris root, jasmine, bergamot, labdanum, ambergris and many others

There are many benefits of all natural perfumes made with essential oils.

Your choices:
• 1 ml eau de perfume in a 1 ml glass sample vial enough for 4-6 wearings
• 5 ml eau de perfume black with silver dots travel sprayer in a re-usable black organza gift bag
• 30 ml eau de perfume atomizer comes in an ivory satin bag
• Each perfume comes with a card that describes the scent.

This beautiful Chypre Floral eau de perfume is available on my Etsy store

On this Autumn Equinox I created a beautiful natural perfume.  It is named “A Walk In The Woods” eau de perfume.

Walking in the woods with tall pines, firs, black spruce and more conifers makes my heart sing. The fresh smell of the pine needles especially when the fog and the dew is just lifting. The damp bark and undergrowth adds to the mix and my nose is filled with joy.

This is not a Pine Sol perfume..it is a light smell of forest.. that is balanced with other essential oils to represent the whole experience. It is very pleasant.

It is a foresty scent classification. Fresh conifers, wet mossy, woodsy scents, and clean smells.

It is available on my Etsy store.
