Respect Mother Earth on Earth Day!

April 22nd, 2016 by

In honor of Earth Day I am asking my readers to become more aware of how you reuse, recycle, and conserve our resources.

When I look at the packaging in a perfume business I cringe. There are double boxes, the outer box which is the mailer and the inner box which is the beautiful one we throw away, the paper liners, the cellophane over wraps, the tissue, the bows, etc.

We hear over and over how packaging sells the perfume. When we buy the perfume the first thing we do is throw away the layers of packaging and usually just put the pretty bottle on our dresser. Some people save the box if it can be re purposed or if they prefer to have their fragrances all in boxes in a cabinet as a collection.

When I was looking to create more boxes for my collections I thought about my choices. I created a beautiful expensive gift box for my Le Voyage eau de toilette.

As I researched other brands I noticed that they are really almost all the same with different colors and logos. To set my line apart I chose boxes that could be reused.

My perfume boxes are gift boxes in the shape of books. They are deep enough to store trinkets or other items. They have a magnetic flap so the box will stay closed. They are three sizes and house my parfums, eau de parfums, and Limited Edition parfums, and all of the Collections with hand blown glass perfume bottles. These beautiful boxes have gold foil and beautiful flower patterns with butterflies. They are unique and also can be stacked or placed on a shelf like a book. How original!

My Gift Boxes contain 1 oz of eau de parfum and come with a free 5 ml travel sprayer filled with your favorite scent.  They can be refilled. If you remove the paper filling you will see the beautiful designs in the bottom of the box. The box can be reused and re purposed. These are ways to reduce our paper waste and not contribute more garbage to the landfills.

I also grow flowers and harvest blossoms, and create tinctures of roses, gardenia, citrus blossoms and others for my Custom Perfumes. These special tinctures and macerations are only used in my bespoke fragrances. This is a way to use our bounty and share it with others.

My company Bassett Aromatherapy that began in 1993 imported and exported essential oils and more for many years. I went all over the world to over 43 countries looking for the most exquisite oils. I have some of those essential oils now in small quantities that I sell or use in my natural perfumes. My most rare and precious oils are reserved for my Gold Custom Bespoke perfumes. Who do you know that uses rare Vintage Mysore Sandalwood in their perfume collections? I also use real oud…not synthetic! My perfumes are extraordinary.

All of my collections are 100% natural and I use the highest quality of essential oils, absolutes, and hydro distilled essential oils.

Le Voyage edt

JoAnne Bassett Perfumes has recently relocated from Newport Beach, California to Dallas, Texas.

Her couture collections are amazing, as are her own bespoke botanical fragrances. She has been creating Custom Bespoke Perfumes since 1993.

She creates natural perfume from natural and ecological essences. Fragrant roses, gardenias, and other flowers and botanicals grown organically are used in her creations. Her all natural essences are in a base of organic grape alcohol from wine grapes or organic jojoba oil. One of the reasons she took the step from aromatherapy to perfumery is to be able to create natural perfumes for people who could not wear department store fragrances with the synthetic fragrance oils created in a laboratory.

JoAnne Bassett (http://joannebassett.com/about-joanne/) has been designing artisan fragrances for 23 years. Perfumes like Rose Kiss, Rose Smoke, I Love You, Sybarite, Luscious Roses, and many more make extraordinary presents for bridal parties, birthday parties, and even private parties. She loves teaching and sharing her passion for natural perfumes to men and women who are looking to reflect their individuality and personality by creating their own uniquely personal scents! JoAnne Bassett is available for private parties, fundraisers, corporate events, member appreciation events, etc. Women and men enjoy the experience of designing their own fragrances at her Create Your Own Perfume Workshop for events. She takes clients on aromatic perfume journeys and “Fragrant Flights” which are like wine or whiskey tastings. If you would like JoAnne to offer perfume workshops for your venue please contact her. She does travel out of state and beyond.

Create your own Perfume Workshop can be a memorable group activity and an ideal way for individuals, private party organizers or event planners to offer a special one – of – a – kind event through fragrance workshops. In the corporate workshop, participants may be split into small teams to make a fragrance, formulate a marketing strategy and present their launch ideas by the end of the session. The workshop is designed to be exciting and interactive, while covering as many business skills as possible. The workshop is also a unique way to entertain business guests year round.

The price of her Create Your Own Perfume workshop where the participants receive a natural perfume in a 5 ml glass perfume bottle with organza bag is $125.00. Other pricing choices are available.
