I have received another wonderful and charming review of Night Queen. It is a sultry, creamy floral that is perfect for those sensual summer nights.

I decided to participate in a natural perfume project based on a Shakespeare Play.? Here is my story:
Night Queen eau de parfum? Or?? Reine de Nuit eau de parfum
A Midsummer?s Nights Dream Project
June 21, 2011
JoAnne Bassett??????????????? www.JoAnneBassett.com
I went to the bookstore to scan the Shakespeare play to determine what theme I would use.? I saw fairies, magic, a love story, and several themes that would work.? When I sat down to formulate it was another story.
The feeling I had was to create a night perfume…with flowers and attributes of the night.? Not a Solstice perfume but a unique fragrance of what night time scents are out there to fascinate your nose.
So it begins.? I had ordered an interesting oil named Night Queen and had not used it.? This was my chance.? What a strange and inviting smell.? So in the course of an afternoon I added rhododendron, night queen, peru balsam, rosewood, damask rose oil,? neroli, tuberose . .one of my favorite night smells in India or France, vintage jasmine sambac.. another queen of the night, frankincense, yuzu, clove bud, tulsi, frankincense noir – dark and for the night,? champa that you smell on warm Indian nights,? vetiver, violet leaf that wonderful green forest smell, and ylang ylang for some extra romance.? With 17 oils this 100% natural perfume said yes.? It will transform you?if you allow it.
Here is a wonderful review of my Night Queen eau de parfum:

Happy Fifth Anniversary Natural Perfumers Guild!
I joined the Guild as a Professional Perfumer in the early days of the Guild.? I felt it was important to be a part of an organization promoting Natural Perfumery. I love creating 100% natural perfumes and I am happy to see the Guild grow and thrive.
I became a certified aromatherapist in 1993 and started my company Bassett Aromatherapy. I created a line of products and did individual blending for clients. My clients who were sensitized to the synthetic department store fragrances wanted me to make them natural fragrances. That is how it began. I took a blending class and was self taught.? The rest is history. 18 years later I am still making Custom Bespoke Perfumes and Natural Perfume Collections.
In 2000 I created Le Voyage – the journey in an eau de toilette and parfum. It became my scent I wore everyday. I bought French perfume bottles for it and made a beautiful box for it in 2001.? I created Reveiller – awaken? in an eau de toilette and parfum and sold them both on the Bassett Aromatherapy website called Aromaworld.com.? That was 11 years ago.? I had other collections but sold them only to my clients and mostly in person.
In 2005 I opened Le Bijou- the jewel, my perfume boutique in La Jolla, California. I created the Royal Collection and the French Collections in 2006 which I still sell online at my website www.JoAnneBassett.com. Limited Edition collections in hand blown glass are a favorite item of mine.? My perfumes are a work of art and I love using the most expensive raw materials I can source.
I use almost all of the blossoms from my yard…roses, grapefruit, lemon, sweet orange, and gardenias. I use them for Custom Bespoke Perfumes and limited edtions mostly. I do use the gardenias in Madame Pompadour. I have created 1,000’s of fragrances for private label, bespoke customs, for special occasions, and limited editions.? I get to play with the oils everyday.

I went to a local park recently and a familiar scent came to my attention.?? I walked over to this elegant pink blossom and inhaled the glorious unique smell of cistus.? It is found in a number of public gardens as yellow flowers, white, or pink flowers.? I love this pink version.? The center design is recognizable. Rock rose is another name for cistus – cistus ladaniferus.? It is a Mediterranean shrub.? Some people refer to this as labdanum.
Cistus is an amber base note that is a herb type scent that is centering and comforting.? It really resonates with me and I find I reach for it often.
I sell cistus on my website at?? http://www.joannebassett.com/essent.html
It is also included in my Perfume Kit ? http://www.joannebassett.com/perfumekit.htm
The perfume kit is a wonderful way to learn how to create your own natural perfumes.
