Together we will smell the 35 essences on a blotter paper and discuss the scent classification and attributes of each essence.

We will discuss top, middle, base notes and define what each essence is. We will learn how long each note will last in a perfume. We will discuss strengths of eau de toilettes, eau de parfums, and parfums.

We will build accords, discuss blending a scent for a purpose or a themed essence, etc. We will discuss creating the scent drop by drop and the bases that can be used.

There will be question and answers throughout the process.

We will be using the esential oils, blotter papers, and information sheets from the Perfume Kit.  You must purchase the Perfume Kit and Perfume Class to be able to attend this class. 

This is a 2 hour class using Skype. You will need to have a Skype account (free) www.Skype.com, a webcam with a headset. We can also use Zoom.com, let me know your preference when you sign up.

I have a 20% off sale on my Perfume Kit now $280.00 and $200.00 for the class is $480.00 total. The 20% off sale ends Sept. 18.

It is payable in advance to reserve your class and receive the perfume kit for the class.

When I decided to open a Etsy store it was a way to offer sales, offer supplies and essential oils that I do not sell on my JoAnne Bassett website. The Etsy site with a couple of clicks can put your whole store on sale or just a few items.  My JoAnne Bassett website does not have that capability and I have to manually change all of the coding. After the sale you then have to change all of the prices back.

I opened the Etsy store JoAnne Bassett in 2009 to offer close out sales of product and draw new clients to my store. A new venue to ship worldwide and to be found for handmade, small batch perfume. There were years I did not add any products..sell much of anything …or focus on updates, tags, titles, photos or all of the Etsy SEO and learn the new rules they have.

As the years have gone by the Etsy site has grown with lots of new stores.. new rules… and difficult search engines…Their fees of 10% just to sell a product is not bad but if you sell on offsite ads the add 12% fee to that to make 22% off.  You cannot opt out of offsite ads if you have sold a lot of product. So the total fee of a sale becomes 22% off. Now to draw attention to your store.. or even be found in search I started offering free shipping and or a sale of 20 to 25% off once in a while.  It helps to bring visitors to your store and can motivate people to try your perfumes.  So if you look at all of these fees together 10 + 12+ 20= 42% off.. or at 25% off it becomes 47% off.  Add on free shipping to the US and the profit goes down even more.

Offering free shipping is a Amazon idea that Etsy also copied.  The jury is still out if it is a deciding factor in a purchase or not.  I have tried to keep my shipping the same on both stores.

Etsy has been changing the rules and policies lately that has affected my store. Metaphysical services may not be sold on Etsy. Examples of prohibited metaphysical services include: Items with a metaphysical outcome (e.g. attracting wealth, love, etc.)

I saw how they were removing items from and closing stores that they deemed were claiming a metaphysical outcome.  My natural perfumes have all received Divine and Royal Alchemy and Divine Light downloaded into them.  This postive energy is not a claim..it just is.  Like adding love to your meal you are cooking for loved ones.. it is intention.

Yesterday I began to change and delete some descriptions of my store announcement and my natural perfumes.  Today I again see my products removed for these claims.

My purpose in posting this is please go to my JoAnne Bassett website to read the full descriptions and purchase whenever possible.  The idea of me putting my energetic perfumes on Etsy where they are not valued rubs me the wrong way.  I am not making medical claims with my essential oils or perfumes made with essential oils. Aromatherapy text books have shown research for the last 30 years or more listing the health and emotional benefits of lavender, citrus oils, and many others.  When you list St. John’s essential oil helps with depression. you are not saying it will cure it.. merely that it will help alleviate the symptons.

The items on my website are many and I continue to add more.  If you find a shopping cart malfunction please email me at joanne@joannebassett.com  The work of starting a new Shopify site is something I have done recently. There is too much to do with it and I do not have time to remake what I already have. My website is also in search engines for many years so I must consider that.

Again I thank you for your business and support with this. I appologize if you have trouble with my website.

My focus these days is selling my Perfume Formulas and/ or selling my company JoAnne Bassett and leave my legacy.  No one is promised tomorrow.

The Sacred Elixir Collection

Wearing 100% botanical natural perfumes, you are receiving the aromatherapy benefits of the essential oils that are used in the perfume formula.

You will be attracting abundance or love for example. Wearing these all natural perfumes with intention you are drawing these aspects to you and becoming the intention you have set. The magical perfumes have been encoded using Royal Alchemy and Divine Alchemy.

Every natural perfume I offer has the intentions of raising awareness of consciousness and raising consciousness itself, higher vibrations, and empowerment when worn. Many people tell me they feel so good when they wear my natural perfumes.  

June I, 2021 announced I was selling my perfume formulas, natural perfumes, rare essential oils, perfume supplies, etc.  I am happy to announce I  have sold some of my 77+ formulas.  One person told me what an opportunity. Yes it is. I am selling the formula; both with and without the alchemy connected to the formula, the rare ingredients I have used to make them, the bottles, and other essential oils in bulk. This is like buying a turn key business… kind of like a franchise without the huge franchise fees.  I have offered to teach how to make my perfumes using the formulas for a price and have taught one buyer in person.  I am trying to make the transition for the new formula owners as easy as possible for them. Rare oils and perfume supplies are sold on my Etsy store.

Many inquiries have come in.  Some people want to expand their existing personal care product lines, some want to create a new business, etc.  What I know is that now is the ultimate best time to get started.  Why you ask?  The holiday time is the best time of the year for perfume sales. Have you heard the term Christmas in July?  Well many retailers are getting their ducks in a row.. what are they offering for the holidays.  From Black Friday in November to the end of December is the time some companies make their “whole year in sales” in 6 weeks or less. I am not kidding!  If you are considering this proposal there is no time to lose.  You need to get started… get perfumes made.. all of the details ironed out.  Labels, packaging and more. Photos need to be taken and your website launched.  If you are adding the natural perfumes to your line … your brand, you need to plan it.  Marketing.. and more.

If it is a question of not having the money to buy the perfume formulas, rare oils, supplies, etc.  I can tell you a secret.  Many new companies come into being on a daily basis with someone borrowing money from family or friends. Also many others have started their business with credit cards.. a line of credit, financing of some sort.  Go online and see the stories of successful people who started with a $4,000 credit card that had the limit raised. They then applied for more cards until they had enough to buy what they wanted. This is an investment… an investment in you and your future.

If you read some of the stories you will discover they may have been able to pay the credit cards off in a timely manner when they started making sales. This is what I am talking about getting started now.  The Christmas season is usually the biggest sales event of the year.

I am looking forward to see who else is called to carry on my legacy… I have made it really easy for you offering all of the parts for sale so you don’t have to research everything like I did!

The name of the first perfume I created for sale to the public was Le Voyage…. which in French means the journey.  That is how I started.. it has been a journey of which I am so grateful for.

The time is now.

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.

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

Happy St. Patty’s weekend!

Many shops have sales to clear out inventory so I am offering my few boxes of the Sovereign Collection. These are the remaining purple or gray gift boxes that I have left.

Also I have listed vintage essential oils, and my Perfume Kit which I have a lot of in stock.

The Perfume Kit is a best seller at all of the holidays. It makes a great gift for both men and women. Lately I have been seeing it used for bridal showers, birthdays, and fun parties of friends.

It is on my Etsy store these items are 25% off.  The Sale ends Monday, March 18.  I have the Perfume Kit on my website on 25% off sale on my website also.

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.
