Luscious Roses Limited Edition Parfum

October 21st, 2012 by

Luscious Roses Limited Edition Parfum?

From Facebook:? Henrique Brito wrote: Luscious Roses is dedicated to one of the essences that JoAnne Bassett loves, the smell of roses. In almost all of her fragrances you find rose and it?s used by the perfumer for both the delicate aroma as its healing properties. In Luscious Roses she creates a fragrance dedicated to one the most venerated flowers but opting to represent it in a more abstract way, choosing a mix of 6 different roses that are supported by a background base of vanilla, patchouli, balsam and frankincense. The roses, as star, dominate most of the composition and sound as freshly harvested and natural; they are not like the thick extracted rose smell but more like the flower in its delicacy. There is a quick sweet citric opening and then the roses smell soon is evident, at first more green, later more fruity and then in a third phase more musky and satiny. At this phase you can notice a sheer incense, at the background, giving evidences that the fragrance heads to the final phase. Its base it?s dark but delicate as the roses that comes before it and make an interesting contrast of an aroma which works as a second skin but that it?s a dark mixture of boozy vanilla, sweet and earthy patchouli and a resinous balsam. Being a 100% natural fragrance makes Luscious Roses whisper instead of shouting on skin, but even that its aroma is delicate it last quite well for a natural composition, more than 6 hours of a cozy and silky aroma of precious and beautiful roses.

Help Me Name a New Eau de Parfum and Win!

October 20th, 2012 by

At the Venus Transit in June I created a number of fragrances…ones I felt that were deeper.? These could be a masculine collection.? I always say my fragrances are for both men and women.? After I created this fragrance….I wrote the name French Gentlemen.? Well not wanting to say that it is only for men…this is not a good name.

As I was creating this fragrance the intention and thought was about a French Gentlemen….

The natural raw materials are definitely something that is readily available in Provence.? When I have been hiking around many of the herbs and essential oils are harvested and distilled there.? So those are my thoughts..I looked at French Song…but it really does not fit.

Here are the list of essential oils and absolutes that created this beautiful fragrance: sweet marjoram, French lavender, cypress, rose oil, green mandarin, vanilla absolute, cistus, angelica root, black currant, balsam, pink grapefruit, cocoa absolute, lemon verbena, lavender absolute, and white cognac…to name the main botanicals.? Most of them are grown in France…

To win a 5 ml travel sprayer of this new eau de parfum….please leave the name you give it in the?comment section.? I will choose one and the winner will be announced.?To be eligible you must?follow this blog on Networked Blogs.? See the link on the right panel.??This contest ends October 27 at midnight Pacific time.
