Happy Bastille Day! Natural Perfume from my French and Royal Collection

July 14th, 2016 by

bastille-day-paris

Having French – Paris origins on my Father’s side..the Bassett name is a good reason for me to celebrate. I used to go to Paris and look in the Paris phone book and see pages of Bassetts and the French spelling Basset. In my genealogy are French royalty with kings and queens going all the way back to Charlemagne.

bastille fireworks

Being in Paris for Bastille Day is really a fun thing to do. The pomp and circumstance is amazing. The French really know how to put on a parade, fireworks, and wonderful French food is everywhere. Traditionally they served aioli – a garlic mayonaise with bread to the towns people on Bastille Day. It is a purge of parasites in the bodies using massive amounts of garlic.

1 oz bottles

After being in France I created the French Collection of all natural perfumes and my Royal Collection of French historic places. These collections offer individual perfume samples, 2 ml sample sprayers, 5 ml travel sprayers, 1 oz -30 ml atomizers of eau de parfums, and parfums in coffrets and a 8 ml French flacon.

MarieAntoinettephoto&bottle

Marie Antoinette eau de parfum is the scent I choose to wear today to celebrate. This perfume is one of her precious potions. A favorite of my clients.

A lush, spicy floriental opens your heart chakra and turns on your sexy.

Oriental Floral Notes: Neroli, Tuberose, vintage rare Bulgarian White Rose Otto, Vintage Jasmine Sambac, Frankincense Noir, Holy Basil, Labdanum, Champa, Lavender, Rhododendron, Ylang Ylang, and others

Have a fun Bastille Day!? I may just watch my movie “Marie Antoinette” again. Beautiful scenes from the Palace of Versailles.

I also have a 20% off my whole ETSY shop until July 18. The Now price is already marked down 20%. Please go there now and celebrate the savings. My all natural perfumes have been compared to Guerlain perfumes from France back in the day.. the classic perfumes.

Everyone Needs Love and Self Love

June 22nd, 2016 by

heart

I have noticed my whole life that what people really need more of is love… including myself. “What the World Needs Now Is Love” is a 1965 popular song with lyrics by Hal David and music composed by Burt Bacharach. First recorded and made popular by Jackie DeShannon, it was released on April 15, 1965. With all of the violence and hate crimes this is a very relevant song. I invite you to listen to the words.

In order to give and receive love you must first love your self. Yes… self love. It starts with us. As children we are taught to love your neighbors as ourselves. Then you go to school and see not everyone even likes each other let alone loves each other. Our eyes are opened.

As adults we love our family, our friends and our children. How often do we look in the mirror and put our hand on our heart and say “I Love You”. We are often heard condemning our body and being critical of our brilliance and new thoughts. We don’t always treat ourselves with love but disdain. Why would we expect another human to love us if we cannot love ourselves. You must have a supply of love to give… and it starts with us. Begin within… go back to that little child.. the inner child and ask her what she wants. How does she want to be loved? Does she feel loved?

When I create my Natural Perfumes I work with energy and the aspects of the essential oils for healing the emotional body and uplifting the spirit. Love, peace, joy and gratitude are high vibrations and when we are living and feeling good, life gets better and better. My perfumes raise vibrations and awareness with the alchemy I have done with them.

Natural Rose otto or rose oil from live rose petals has a very high vibration and I use it in my perfumes to open the heart chakra. We need to open the heart so we can receive love more fully. We also will be able to give love more fully… and the rose helps us to love ourselves. Make yourself a “priority” in your life!

Luscious Roses hi res

I tell my clients to apply my Luscious Roses perfume to their heart daily. It is for self love, opening the heart to love, and it will heal a broken heart. The hurt feelings we hold in our heart can be damaging to our psyche. This magnificent all natural rose perfume contains six roses from four countries and is very precious. A floral with pink cabbage roses, red Bulgarian damask, and white rare, vintage Bulgarian Alba roses. White rose otto is the flower of light. Rose otto is a very treasured oil and is one of the most expensive. It is a very sensual parfum with rich vanilla absolute, dark and smooth vintage patchouli, lush tuberose, deep frankincense, powdery balsam, bergamot for lift, and others. This is a classic and full rose parfum. It is also available as an eau de parfum. It is my most expensive perfume and well worth it. Treat yourself today.

Serendipity - opulence

Another choice I would suggest for self love is my I Love You eau de parfum or parfum. A soft and elegant floral perfume based on rose and gardenia scents. Exquisite Rose de Mai, the May Rose of France and precious Tiare (gardenia) absolute gives this 100 percent natural perfume a heady floral scent. I LOVE YOU is balanced with Italian bergamot, sensuous sandalwood and other secret botanicals.

When I formulate I find myself reaching for the rose otto knowing that everyone in the world could use self love…men and women, children, teenagers to retired adults. Go and look at my samples and see how many fragrances of my over 50 natural fragrances contain rose. There are many. It is so important… try a sample with rose and see how it makes you feel. I know you will love it. My sample collections and discovery kits are available in all botanical fragrances. You will find in my Collections there are individual samples for sale.

Sample sprayers are also available in the eau de parfums. They are available in a 3 ml size sprayer filled with 2 mls of eau de parfum.

If you are looking for something in particular go to my Choosing A Scent page and look at the Fragrance Classifications. There are women and men’s fragrances – unisex- masculine and feminine scents that contain rose otto. It will make you feel wonderful and you deserve it!

One of my passions in life is helping people to be all they can be and that includes being open to receive. Receiving love, support, joy, and living their lives’s purpose. I consult with people looking for a natural perfume to help them with self esteem, abundance, love, confidence, healing and more.

As John Lennon said “We need to learn to love ourselves first”. People ask me for Love Potions to attract a boyfriend, husband or life partner. I suggest my self love – my love potion in my Custom Perfume Potions. This will build up love for yourself and open your heart. The intention of this custom potion is self love and with my royal alchemy I perform, it will work for you when you wear it on your heart. These Custom Perfume Potions have one intention and based on your energy field. A one of a kind perfume potion I create just for you.

all-new

Respect Mother Earth on Earth Day!

April 22nd, 2016 by

In honor of Earth Day I am asking my readers to become more aware of how you reuse, recycle, and conserve our resources.

When I look at the packaging in a perfume business I cringe. There are double boxes, the outer box which is the mailer and the inner box which is the beautiful one we throw away, the paper liners, the cellophane over wraps, the tissue, the bows, etc.

We hear over and over how packaging sells the perfume. When we buy the perfume the first thing we do is throw away the layers of packaging and usually just put the pretty bottle on our dresser. Some people save the box if it can be re purposed or if they prefer to have their fragrances all in boxes in a cabinet as a collection.

When I was looking to create more boxes for my collections I thought about my choices. I created a beautiful expensive gift box for my Le Voyage eau de toilette.

As I researched other brands I noticed that they are really almost all the same with different colors and logos. To set my line apart I chose boxes that could be reused.

My perfume boxes are gift boxes in the shape of books. They are deep enough to store trinkets or other items. They have a magnetic flap so the box will stay closed. They are three sizes and house my parfums, eau de parfums, and Limited Edition parfums, and all of the Collections with hand blown glass perfume bottles. These beautiful boxes have gold foil and beautiful flower patterns with butterflies. They are unique and also can be stacked or placed on a shelf like a book. How original!

You can view my collections at this link: http://joannebassett.com/collections

My Gift Boxes contain 1 oz of eau de parfum and come with a free 5 ml travel sprayer filled with your favorite scent.  They can be refilled. If you remove the paper filling you will see the beautiful designs in the bottom of the box. The box can be reused and re purposed. These are ways to reduce our paper waste and not contribute more garbage to the landfills.

I also grow flowers and harvest blossoms, and create tinctures of roses, gardenia, citrus blossoms and others for my Custom Perfumes. These special tinctures and macerations are only used in my bespoke fragrances. This is a way to use our bounty and share it with others.
