Natural Perfume – Blooming Gardenias at JoAnne Bassett

July 27th, 2014 by

Blooming Gardenia flowers at JoAnne Bassett’s patio means, I will be creating gardenia tincture in organic grape alcohol from wine grapes for eau de perfumes, gardenia infusion and maceration into organic jojoba oil for natural perfumes, and gardenia powder enfleurage into body powder. ?It is so fragrant when I walk out onto the deck with the creamy smell of gardenia. ?I have several varieties and some of them are brand new plants.

MadamePompadourphoto&bottle

One of my natural botanical fragrances I use the gardenia in is Madame Pompadour?from the Royal Collection. It is a luxury to experience the exquisite fragrance of 39 different essential oils, botanicals, and absolutes that are co mingled in this luscious romantic natural perfume. ?I love that fragrance and so do my clients. It is available in this 5 ml travel sprayer that is great for your pocket, purse, brief case or desk. ?The 1 oz spray bottle is great for the boudoir.

The sample sizes are great also for your purse so you can have an assortment of them for choices during the day and night.

Many florals, and citrus florals are available in my Natural Perfume Collections. ?Also check out my Monthly Specials page for my Hot for Summer Discovery Set of samples on sale now.

Happy Fragrant Summer Solstice

June 21st, 2014 by

In Southern California I think of Summer and going to the beach…not that you cannot go to the beach all year here. ?Summers at the beach are also times for tourists, friends and family gatherings. ?Bring your cooler, umbrella to shade you from the powerful rays of the sun, waterproof sun screen if you want to jump in the ocean, a good book, a blanket, sand chairs, music device of your choice, a frisbee and a smile.

The natural fragrant choices for summer tend to be citrus -y, light, florals, and ?have a fresh clean feel.

Here are a few choices from my Collections

From the French Collection??I like Chantelle for those hot, sultry summer evenings. Some of the notes are tuberose, jasmine, white rose, bergamot, vanilla, balsam woods, and others. When the tuberose and jasmine heat up on your skin you will be?irresistible!?? The soft, white rose will start the dry down with the vanilla and woods..and the powder notes will develop. Heavenly.

I love the Royal Collection?with many fabulous exotic florals. ?Magie D? Or is Gold Magic a?spicy oriental parfum that has lovely citrus notes to give it lift and sparkle just like fine champagne.?Notes:?Tuberose, Neroli, Lime, Cinnamon bark, Clementine, Rose de Mai, Cistus, Pink Pepper, Vintage Jasmine absolute, Ylang Ylang,?Lavender Seville, Frankincense, Patchouli, ?Benzoin, and others.

1 oz bottles

I also love Josephine ?with its fresh green scent. The notes are Verbena, lavender vera, litsea, green mandarin, ?bergamot, cardamom, star aniseseed, ylang ylang, alba rose otto, galbanum, and others.

JosephinePhoto&Bottleweb

All of my natural perfumes and eau de parfums come in travel sprayers. These are handy to carry in your pocket, purse, backpack, or suitcase. ?They have a removable glass vial you can refill.

Travel spray -small

See you at the beach! ?Have fun and don’t forget to try some samples to discover your new natural perfume summer favorite! ?Individual samples are available in eau de toilettes, eau de parfums, and parfums.

Natural Perfume – Descanso Gardens Rose Festival

May 27th, 2014 by

girl

I went to the Rose Festival on Sunday, May 25. What a delightful event! Floral artist Alison Franchi and make-up artist Jennifer Aspinall turned a model into a living piece of art decorated with roses, body paint and jewels. An homage to the gardens at Versailles. What a fabulous job! ?This model would fit right in with my?Royal Collection?of natural perfumes.

girl 1

I was so enchanted with the rose garden, the California native gardens, the tall oaks, the rhodies and camelias blooming that I forgot to take photos. The natural perfume of the roses in the 80 degree afternoon sun was amazing. ?The Boddy house was also interesting and the hike through the forest to get there was great.
