Valentine’s Day Natural Perfume Gifts

January 29th, 2025 by

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.

How to Verify Natural Perfumes and Identify Authentic Scents

December 31st, 2024 by
The sun was setting over the lavender fields of Provence, painting the sky in hues of gold and violet. A gentle breeze carried the unmistakable aroma of nature’s finest gift: pure, unadulterated perfume. It was a scent that spoke of authenticity, simplicity, and the earth itself. But not all perfumes tell such a story. In today’s world, where synthetic fragrances dominate the shelves, how to verify natural perfumes becomes a question worth asking—and answering.

Natural perfumes have an allure like no other. They whisper secrets of flowers, roots, and resins rather than shouting chemical concoctions. Yet, with clever marketing and misleading labels, it’s easy to fall prey to imposters. Let this guide be your lantern in the fog as we explore how to uncover the truth behind your scents.

The Importance of Knowing How to Verify Natural Perfumes

Imagine standing in a bustling marketplace. Vendors call out their wares, claiming their goods to be genuine. One offers you a bottle labeled “natural perfume.” It smells divine, but can you trust it? The stakes aren’t just about being duped; they’re about your health and connection to nature.

Synthetic fragrances often contain phthalates and other toxic chemicals that can irritate skin or disrupt hormones. True natural perfumes, on the other hand, consist only of botanical extracts and essential oils. By learning how to verify natural perfumes, you ensure that what you wear is safe for both your body and the environment.

Subtle Clues: Reading Labels Like a Detective

The first step in identifying natural perfumes is simple: read the label with care. Authentic brands don’t hide their ingredients—they celebrate them. Look for terms like “essential oil,” “botanical extract,” or “organic.” Avoid products listing vague terms like “fragrance” or “parfum,” which often signal synthetic formulas.

But labels can be tricky; they’re designed to sell a dream. Some companies use words like “natural-inspired” or “nature-identical,” which sound convincing but mean nothing in terms of authenticity. If you see these phrases without a clear ingredient list, walk away.

Trust Your Nose: The Scent Test

Natural perfumes tell stories through their scents—stories that evolve over time. Synthetic fragrances tend to hit you all at once with overpowering notes that remain static. A natural perfume unfolds like chapters in a book: the top notes greet you lightly before fading into heart notes that linger warmly on your skin, eventually settling into deep base notes.

Here’s an experiment: spray a sample on your wrist and wait 15 minutes. Does it change? Does it breathe? If it feels alive and layered, chances are you’ve found something real.

Certifications: The Seal of Approval

When in doubt, look for certifications from trusted organizations like USDA Organic. These seals aren’t just decorative stamps; they’re proof that the product meets strict standards for natural ingredients.

Keep in mind that smaller artisanal brands may not always have these certifications—they can be expensive for small businesses—but they often provide transparency about sourcing and production methods. Don’t hesitate to ask questions; authentic makers love sharing their craft.

Red Flags That Signal Synthetic Scents

– Overly bright colors in liquid form (natural perfumes rarely have neon hues).

– Long ingredient lists filled with unfamiliar chemical names.

– Prices that seem too good to be true (quality comes at a cost).

Conclusion: Trust Nature’s Whisper

In a world where synthetic scents shout from every corner, learning how to verify natural perfumes is an act of quiet rebellion—a way to reconnect with nature’s essence. It’s about more than smelling good; it’s about honoring what’s real.

So next time you pick up a bottle, remember this guide. Be curious, ask questions, trust your senses, and seek out transparency. The journey may take more effort than grabbing the first perfume off the shelf—but when you find that authentic scent, it’ll feel like standing in those lavender fields at sunset once again.

Happy Mother’s Day

April 26th, 2024 by

 

In 14 days we will have another celebration. This time it is a celebration of Mothers.

Mothers come in all shapes and sizes; young and old.  What is my definition of a Mother.  One who is a caregiver.. one who takes care of someone or something.  They can give love and attention to a human being – someone they gave birth to or not,  a pet, an animal, a house plant, a vegetable or flower garden, or any other energetic thing that you deem is worthy of your attention and affection.

On this occasion I would suggest anyone who determines they are a Mother in some shape or form… please celebrate.. Take yourself out for lunch or dinner, buy yourself some healing energetic perfumes that give back to you.  Remember that I add Divine Light and Alchemy to all of the perfumes I create to uplift you to the higher vibrations. Just apply it and smell deeply.

Replenishing your energy and filling up your cup.  What does that look like for you?

I have put my Divine Destiny and Bubble of Divine Love perfumes on a closeout sale at 50% off at Etsy.

I am having a Mother’s Day sale on my whole Etsy store at 20% off on all of the other items. This sale ends on April 30.

If you just want the Perfume Kit at 20% off you can buy it here on my website. 

Have a great day and enjoy the lovely weather and the gifts of Mother Nature.

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.
