My Eau de Parfums Created With Patchouli

June 30th, 2011 by

I have recently created a patchouli perfume for Perfume Pharmer’s project Summer of Patchouli Love.? Looking in my files today I decided to see how many perfumes in my collections contain patchouli.

They are:

Magie D’ Or eau de parfum is a spicy oriental parfum that has lovely citrus notes to give it lift and sparkle just like fine champagne. It has notes of pink pepper, patchouli, cinnamon bark, cistus, clementine, rose otto, jasmine absolute and others.

Sensual Embrace eau de parfum is a musky, sexy fragrance with citrus notes clementine, floral notes of Rose de Mai oil – the May rose of France, jasmine, tuberose, orange blossoms, musky notes of ambrette seed, amber accord, smoky notes of tobacco, sensuous woody notes of smooth vintage Mysore sandalwood,dark patchouli,and others.

Versailles eau de parfum is a gorgeous, sparkling bottle of citrus delight and spices that add a special touch. Men and women love this fantastic fragrance. It has notes of neroli, tangerine, lime essence, frankincense, patchouli, pink pepper tree, cinnamon bark, and others.

Dark Mistress, the Night Queen Review

June 25th, 2011 by

A Midsummer Night’s Dream Perfume Event ~ Reviews by Scott Ellis

JoAnne Bassett Perfumes, JoAnne Bassett parfumeur ~ Reine de Nuit eau de parfum.
This smells like an expensive perfume that you could find on the shelf at Lucky Scent in LA. If I didn’t know it was all natural I wouldn’t know it was all natural, understand? Night queen is listed as one of the ingredients of this perfume and isn’t something I am very familiar with. In fact, I don’t think I have ever heard of night queen before. This perfume, according to Ms. Bassett, is based on the night and not on a certain character from the play A Midsummer Night’s Dream. This definitely isn’t a fairy’s perfume. Not even a little bit. This is a big, loud, sexy perfume. It might belong to Titania if she wasn’t such a fairy herself. The best way to describe this perfume is to say that if Marilyn Monroe, Bette Midler, Madonna and Lady Gaga all got together to make a perfume, then this is what they would come up with. The other ingredients in this perfume include rhododendron, peru balsam, rosewood, damask rose oil, neroli, tuberose, vintage jasmine sambac, frankincense, yuzu, clove bud, tulsi, frankincense noir, champa, vetiver, violet leaf and ylang-ylang. Smells really great on me, my girl and our roommates. Scary sexy.

Night Queen Becomes Dark Mistress

June 25th, 2011 by

Today on Facebook I conducted a poll regarding my latest launch Night Queen eau de parfum. I was asking if the name is better as Night Queen or Reine de Nuit, or Queen of the Night or Reine de la Nuit.

I received a response from Michelyn Camen of http://www.Cafleurbon.com. She said it should be named Dark Mistress. So the new name is Dark Mistress, the Night Queen. I give credit to Michelyn Camen and http://www.Cafleurebon.com for the new name of Dark Mistress.

For a behind the scenes interview with Cafleurebon and myself.

Review of Night Queen Eau de Parfum

June 24th, 2011 by

Night Queen ~ JoAnne Bassett

Night Queen is my favorite perfume so far from JoAnne Bassett Perfumes.

CESTRUM NOCTURNUM
Night Blooming Jasmine

Quick Facts
-flowers are green, small and not very showy
-not a true Jasmine

From a Plant seller: ?In my opinion , Cestrum nocturnum, has the strongest fragrance out of all the fragrant plants we carry. In the evening the fragrance becomes almost intoxicating. It is a common misconception that this bush is fragrant only at night. It is true that the fragrance is stronger in the evening but you can still smell a light scent all day long.?

JoAnne?s Words: 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?

Monica: This is a stunning fragrance on moi and a ?pesonal best? from JoAnne Bassett ..meaning MY personally favorite fragrance from this perfume house so far. I keep thinking about those sherbet fizzies candies that explode with tangy sweetness in your mouth, tart and juicy, fruity and floral! This is very different- to me- from JoAnne Basett Perfumes. I want a big bottle of this in a spray. Very Very Summer!

Night Queen Eau de Parfum or Reine de Nuit – New Launch

June 20th, 2011 by

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:

This is one of my favorite light fragrances I wear in the Spring.? It is so refreshing.? It is like a breath of fresh air.

Josephine

A lovely green delight that is fresh and inviting. Like the zest of a lime it touches our nose and stays on our mind. We cannot break her spell. She is compelling and we must go deeper.

A fresh, green light fragrance

Notes: Verbena, Lavender vera, Bergamot, Rose, Galbanum and others
