With a name like JoAnne Bassett it is not hard to imagine that I am a Francophile with French origins in Paris.

In my genealogy are French royalty with kings and queens going all the way back to Charlemagne.

Today for my scent of the day I was reaching for Marie Antoinette eau de parfum

On second thought I felt this was not the day to wear it..Even though she was their Queen she was executed.

I chose the exquisite Madame Pompadour eau de parfum from my Royal Collection!?

It is an enchanting, costly, parfum with many precious floral notes.

Notes: Fresh Gardenia flower infusion, Neroli, Champa, rare Bulgarian Alba Rose Otto, Vintage Jasmine Sambac, Clementine, Vanilla, Wild Verbena, Vintage Mysore Sandalwood, and others. 39 magnificent natural oils in this precious fragrance

Celebrate with aioli and baguettes…and cleanse your system…pour a good French wine and toast to all things French. ?Sante!

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.

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.

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.

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.

This photo is from May 15, 2003 in Beverly Hills for the American Heart Association charity event. I had a table selling JoAnne Bassett natural perfumes.

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.

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.
