This is a heartfelt message from my good friend Susan Ordona:

A few days ago, one of the strongest typhoon in recorded history hit and devastated the province of Leyte.
As the big relief organizations are not able to reach Abuyog yet, the Abuyognons from Manila, USA and other countries have taken it upon ourselves to help out as much as we can with the limited resources we have. Without food, water, medicines and basic necessities, our town people are in a very tough survival situation.
We have to do something with utmost urgency as lives are at stake.

The generosity and kindness of the Abuyognons and friends are so evident when everyone just gives cash and checks so our groups in the Philippines could start buying supplies and hand deliver these to the people of Abuyog.

It is a big challenge to get those supplies to our town because of the road conditions, some are non-existent and some are barely passable and of course the dangers along the way.?Even with those hurdles, the determination to get to Abuyog is there.

I have been receiving private messages and telephone calls from people wanting to help and donate, so I created this site to make it easier for people to do so.?This is also for others who want to donate to our cause, no amount is too little…every little bit helps.

100% of all your donations will go to the people of Abuyog….for their immediate needs and beyond that….the rebuilding process as well.

More from Susan Ordona:

This devastation of Tacloban is horrible.?My hometown is about 50 miles south of Tacloban and was also affected along with the other towns along the road way.?Using hashtag?#Tacloban?#Abuyog?#TyphoonHaiyan really helped us get a streamline of information about a those keywords with the hashtags.

All Limited Edition Parfums are now available in eau de perfume. ?These are the 1 oz spray bottles.

3 ml bottle

Luscious Roses eau de parfum is available in a 3 ml glass bottle.

Enchant, Esoterica, Reflections, Temptress and Timeless eau de parfums are also available in this 5 ml travel spray.

They are also available as a sample set.

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.

These luxury hand blown glass perfume bottles house very special natural perfume. They make wonderful wedding gifts.

I also create Custom Intuitive Parfums for those times when only bespoke will do.

Here is a video I created.

Couture Perfumer JoAnne Bassett Launches Holiday 2013 Natural Perfume Gifts And Reveals the ?Most Expensive Soap? in the World

Cardiff-by-the-Sea, Calif. ? August 1, 2013 ? Couture perfumer JoAnne Bassett of award-winning JoAnne Bassett Perfumes today launches her Holiday 2013 Natural Perfume Gifts as well as ?The Most Expensive Soap in the World.?

?Why natural perfumes for holiday gifts? In France, a couturier is more than an artisan. Bassett considers herself a parfum couturier or custom perfumer because she handcrafts each and every bottle and, in many cases, mixes her fragrant potion to her client?s specifications as well as artfully prepares them in artisan packaging. Who wouldn?t want exquisite handmade, all-natural perfume under the holiday tree?

Luscious Roses Perfume

Encased inside a four-inch tall, hand-blown ruby red glass bottle, Luscious Roses is a decidedly feminine perfume with floral notes from several exotic rose oils including Bulgarian damask, rare white Bulgarian alba, rose otto as well as vanilla absolute, vintage patchouli, lush tuberose, earthy frankincense, powdery balsam and refreshing bergamot for lift. This classic floral perfume has the strength of classic French salon fragrances in an organic base of golden jojoba oil. The clear glass dauber makes the perfume easy to apply and creates an air tight seal. Each exclusive, limited edition Luscious Roses perfume is crafted individually, signed and dated. $400 for one-quarter ounce perfume inside a gold foil pattered box with creamy white silk pillow and creamy white silk bag.

Intimacy Eau de Parfum

A FIFI 2012 nominee, Intimacy Eau de Parfum is bliss for oak moss lovers. Rich and voluptuous, Intimacy is crafted as a circa 1917 chypre with earthy scents of oak moss, bergamot, vintage jasmine, vintage Mysore sandalwood, iris root, vanilla absolute, vintage patchouli, natural musk, labdanum and rose oils. $150 for one ounce spray nestled inside a gold foil box with a creamy white silk bag and creamy white silk pillow.

The World?s Most Expensive Rose Soap

JoAnne Bassett?s all-natural Rose Soap may be the most expensive soap ever. Why does a 3 oz. bar cost $90? Because each Rose Soap bar contains some of the world?s most expensive certified organic ingredients such as Bulgarian rose otto, Bulgarian white rose hydrosol, Bulgarian rose wax and essential oils of rose geranium, roman chamomile, rosewood and sandalwood. The soaps, which feel like silk on the body and smell utterly delicious, are also crafted with oils of extra virgin olive, babassua, virgin coconut, virgin hempseed, expeller-press grapeseed, unrefined shea butter and Alaffia cooperative virgin non-plantation palm. $90 for a 3 oz. bar wrapped in a creamy white silk bag inside a gold foil box.
