With the article “Frankincense Proven To Be A Psychoactive Antidepressant” it is becoming more well known that essential oils – aromatherapy and incense is very helpful and can effect our emotions positively and more.
My Sacred Frankincense natural perfumes contain this magnificent natural essential oil that will uplift you and more. Article: http://www.the-open-mind.com/frankincense-proven-to-be-psy/
To my Royal Alchemy Collection of Sacred Frankincense 1-6 perfumes and eau de perfumes.
Frankincense tears that are resins that can be burned for incense. It can also be steam distilled and turned into essential oil to be used for meditation and added to my natural eau de perfumes and perfumes. This very special Omani frankincense (Boswellia sacra) is great for meditation, relaxation, focus, spiritual connections, and respiratory conditions.
Don’t you just love the fact that you can apply your natural perfume and receive these benefits naturally? That is why I create 100% natural perfumes without any extra “enchancers” added.

The Autumnal Equinox is happening tomorrow September 23. This signals the end of summer and the end of citrus and light scents. The Northern Hemisphere will soon turn into cooler days and nights that turn the leaves into beautiful brilliant colors. We will reach for sweaters and jackets and heavier fragrances.
I love fall. The crisp, cool morning air. The delightful warm afternoons. The Indian summer sunset evenings.
The beaches are almost deserted and life slows down here in Southern California.
The other aspects of fall I love are the leathery, woodsy, sultry, smoky scents that I associate with fall bonfires, crispy leaves, and cinnamon and spicy, warm apple cider. We wear eau de parfums in the day and also reach for rich and heavier parfums for evening. It is a delight to surround ourselves with natural perfumes.

Tom Pease at Perfume Posse wrote this wonderful review of my natural perfumes.
A couple of weeks ago I wrote about JoAnne Bassett?s Call to Prayer, which I was loving so much I didn?t have a chance to test the three samples she included, Italian Smoke, Italian Leather and Sacred Frankincense 3. Well, I?ve tested all three, so here?s the scoop.
Sacred Frankincense 3 is written of as ?A sultry tuberose walk in the woods after dark with orange blossoms caressing your nose.? It?s very lovely, but I think the orange blossom is far more the star than the tuberose, which frankly I think is no bad thing.
Italian Smoke is ?Italian Smoke has uplifting sweet orange essence and orange blossoms, the sensuous heart of vintage jasmine grandifolium, the smoky, sexiness of tobacco absolute, the sweetness of vanilla, and the vintage Mysore sandalwood.? It?s very interesting- I don?t get smoke at all, but a winning combination of orange and tobacco.
Italian Leather is ?This sensuous leather is like a summer evening?s drive in a Bugatti with leather seats and jasmine and orange blossoms in the air?cistus, wild orange, vintage jasmine grandifolium, Bulgarian tobacco, light patchouli.? It?s far and away my favorite of the bunch- the ?leather? is in no way overpowering with a lovely hit of jasmine and tobacco.
All 0f them have excellent lasting power- I could smell them on my skin after sleeping. Also, they are super concentrated- you might at first balk at the price, but it?s clear that the ingredients are the best and you really only need to use the tiniest drop.
All of these are available at her website, and she does sell samples of her works for a nominal amount- less than $10. She also offers sample sets; My samples were given to me by JoAnne. Image: Her website.
