Colette Eau de Parfum is a Wild Thing!

August 8th, 2011 by

Colette eau de parfum is a wild thing…she is a tigress that teases.? Her
Gypsy soul is playful and independent.? She knows how to whirl in a circle
and when to vanish leaving you spent.? Her Gypsy roots lead to adventure and
a nomad lifestyle.? She is not faithful.? Her wanderlust beckons and she
cannot be controlled. She is the darkest of the dark with the hidden nuances
of a fine brandy.? Come and play with her but be aware you will be wanting
for more.? Get caught up in her spell!

Notes:? Cepes absolute from France – the dark, earthy richness is created from the cepes mushroom, white cognac from France – the fine brandy from the Cognac region of France that has a honey aspect, and an accord of citrus to lighten and brighten? – red mandarin, bergamot, yuzu, and clementine

Cistus Inspiration for a New Perfume

August 5th, 2011 by

One of my favorite raw materials to work with is cistus…rockrose…labdanum. These are all words for cistus.? Cistus?landiferus is the Latin binomial of the cistus essential oil that I so fondly love to work with.

This photo is a cistus flower taken near my house in Southern California.? Making natural perfumes is some a delight.? I love it that I have?the fresh flower to compare to the essential oil.? Natural perfumes containing cistus have a meditative quality about them.? It is a meditative amber scent.? It is calming to me and comforting on a deep level.? I like it for the healing properties it gives my perfumes.? It is definitely transformational.

A number of my natural perfumes contain cistus.? Check it out.

What do you love about cistus?

Honeysuckle Tincture From My Yard

July 26th, 2011 by

Oh how I love honeysuckle..the tender white and yellow flowers.? The fragrance of honeysuckle is unmistakable.? There is no other smell quite like it…it is difficult to capture.

This is a honeysuckle bush in my backyard.? Here is a bottle of organic grape alcohol that I put the small honeysuckle blossoms in to create a tincture.? Now all I need is patience! Does anyone have any extra patience they can spare?

Why I Like To Create Tinctures

July 24th, 2011 by

This beautiful yellow rose smells absolutely gorgeous.? Its fragrance permeates the air. ? I am not able to buy a yellow rose otto so I grow my own roses and flowers and tincture them in alcohol.? The wonderful rose scented alcohol is a exclusive addition to some of my perfumes.? So grateful to be able to use my organic flowers and plants for my natural perfumes.

Tetu Eau De Parfum – The Morph Story

July 20th, 2011 by

Tetu eau de parfum was created for the Summer of Love Patchouli Project 2011.? Monica Miller at the Perfume Pharmer created this fun project.

I began to assemble my 25% patchouli requirement in a bottle.? I had some awesome vintage dark patchouli and also some light patchouli that play well together so I put them in the bottle to take a twirl…interesting. ? So what next?

I began to pick up bottle after bottle, a drop here a drop there…smoky, sensuous rose, sultry jasmine, sexy misc. amber notes, and then morph..Oh gourmand notes…cocoas absolute, vanilla absolute, wild orange, sweet orange, butter, bergamot, nutmeg, and star anise.

Then it felt done…24 essential oils and absolutes in all.? It has quite a journey through smoke, floral, sexy, and gourmand to a powdery amber drydown…on my skin that is.

Tetu means stubborn in French.? With 9 base notes she does persist..she lasts and lasts.? What a headstrong passionate thing she is!? Get your Tetu at my Etsy site at this link. http://www.etsy.com/shop/joannebassett

T?tu Eau de Parfum

July 2nd, 2011 by

Patchouli

T?tu Eau de Parfum was created for the Summer of Patchouli Love Project 2011 – Peace, Love, and Patchouli

We were to create an eau de parfum with 25% patchouli and 15%
concentration in alcohol.

I named my perfume Exotic Nights. I shared it with Ida Meister and she
thought it should be T?tu. Because I have French heritage and it means
stubborn. Thank you Ida Meister for the name and thank you Monica Miller
for helping me change the name before it was published…

T?tu means stubborn in French. T?tu is a headstrong and passionate
fragrance. This aphrodisiac is created with patchouli, sultry vintage
jasmine, sensual rose centifolia, amber, and smoky notes. It is a musky,
spicy, and sexy number that is absolutely brilliant and outrageous.

Notes: Vintage Patchouli, vintage jasmine, sensual rose centifolia, amber,
and smoky notes with a citrus lift. Vanilla absolute and cocoa absolute
add to the gourmand quality. With nine base notes this fragrance lasts all
day and into your exotic night. 24 natural botanicals in all.
