Uncorked – a natural perfumers guild joint blogging event

June 1st, 2011 by

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.

Fresh Gardenia Flowers – A Raw Material

May 30th, 2011 by

I love gardenias.? In San Francisco they sell gardenia corsages on the street corners.? I went to an aromatherapy conference many years ago and wore one.? They stay fragrant all day.

Now that I grow gardenias in my garden I am able to use them in my natural perfumes.? Several varieties offer enough gardenia petals to create the perfect gardenia scent for my 100% natural fragrances.

I pick them in the morning and tincture in alcohol and macerate the blooms.?? Months later I am able to use this tincture or maceration in Madame Pompadour or other fragrances.? It is a favorite raw material for my Custom Bespoke Parfums.

Smell the rich and creamy fragrance of the gardenia blossom ..take in the soft, honey smell of the gardenia.? The synthetic gardenia scents have nothing on this natural scent.? Try the real thing…your nose approves.

Terre is the French word for Earth. I created Terre for Earth Day 2011. 

This exotic perfume brings heaven and earth together as one. The Angelica “of the Angels”, and the alba rose oil ” the flower of Light”, come together to dance in the heavens. The citrus oil and flowers of the orange tree are united with the litsea to uplift our spirits. The clary sage helps up to see clearly. The jasmine sambac supports the feminine energy. The gingergrass and frankincense helps to keep our feet on Mother Earth and stay grounded.

A beautiful, feminine floral with subtle herbal effects.
