Bulk Perfume Packages

April 7th, 2024 by

Bulk Perfume Packages is a collection of natural eau de parfum samples and travel sprayers that can be given as gifts or party favors for weddings, bridal showers, birthday parties, or for friend and family gatherings. You can also keep them for  yourself in celebration of you!

The Bulk Perfume Packages contain 1 ml sample vials attached to cards and packaged in one large black organdy bag for each collection.

It contains 23 – 1 ml eau de parfum samples from these collections: Limited Edition, More Life, Royal Alchemy, and Sacred Elixir Collections.

They are priced at 25% off of regular price for the large number of sample vials. Bulk Perfume Collections price $103.50

I also created a Travel Sprayer Bulk Perfume Package. You can choose 20 travel sprayers from the $30.00 travel sprayers available.

A pack of 20 – 5 ml Eau de Parfums in 6 ml travel sprayers in black organdy bags is $600.00. They are priced at 50% off of regular price for the large number of travel sprayers. Travel Sprayer Bulk Perfume Collections price $300.00.

I no longer sell wholesale or private label perfumes so I thought this is a good way for people to be able to buy in larger quantites at a discount.  I like the idea of giving gifts to your party guests as they often give you a hostess gift for hosting the party.

Recently I celebrated my 70th birthday on April 1 and decided to create this offering.

Let me know if there are any other perfumes you would like to buy in the $6.00 sample or $30.00 travel sprayers packages. The choices are not all listed. Send me an email to joanne@joannebassett.com

April Fool’s Day 20% Off Sale

March 26th, 2024 by

Looking at the calendar I marvel at the thought …in a few days I am going to be 70 years old. Wow.. April 1 is my birthday and it is not an April Fool’ s Day joke!

So I decided to have a 20% off sale at Etsy to celebrate this major achievement.  There is even a name for people who are 70 years… it is a septuagenarian.

My rose bushes are leafing out and I notice I have a few buds on some in front of the house. It may be 80 degrees on my birthday… would love to have a rose bloom.

At this point I have pink azaleas, red azaleas, and red camelias blooming in my yard. I notice that I have a peony bush. have not had one for years. The daffodils are all done blooming and many wildflowers – weeds are flowering. A very beautiful time of year.

This photo was taken in 2017 when I lived in Texas… I look like this still accept I no longer color my hair. My hair is now 50% gray/silver and 50% brown.  It’s not photo worthy. Thought it would be all gray at 70 years.

Hope you can take advantage of the sale… so I can clear out some more inventory.  Never started my “retirement” nor did I sell my company. I still have formulas for sale if anyone is interested.

Happy Spring and Happy Birthday to me!

Seize the Day!

The Divine Collection Launched Today

March 6th, 2024 by

The Divine Collection is a collection of 100% natural perfumes. The five distinctive perfumes are Blessings, Divine Guidance, Gratitude, Intention, and Prosperity. These natural fragrances smell like nothing I have ever experienced. Otherworldy… I was working with an extremely high positive vibration. This high energy was off the charts.

Every energetic perfume in this collection made me smile. You must try them all. The Divine Collection – All things Divine!

BLESSINGS: A citrus burst of sunshine. A ray of light captured in a bottle. Wear this natural perfume and feel beyond blessed.
Notes – tangerine, ylang ylang extra, yellow mandarin, key lime, lavender Bulgaria, cedarwood

DIVIINE GUIDANCE: From the Sacred green spikenard to the Holy basil, this perfume resonates with ancient chants. Allow this perfume to “whisper” to you.
Notes – green spikenard, holy basil, hydrodistilled Oman frankincense, wild orange, lemon, basil, spearmint, juniper

GRATITUDE: With a truck load of damask roses and enough jasmine sambac to line your path; your heart will open. Feel the loving gratitude swelling up from within.
Notes – celery seed, combava – Keffir lime, jasmine sambac, Bulgarian rose damask, cardamon, light patchouli, sweet orange

INTENTION: From the first whiff you will feel the smoke rising; clearing the energies. Now is the time to “speak” your intentions into creation.
Notes – nutmeg, balsam fir, lemon, Bulgarian tobacco absolute, elemi, cistus, pink pepper, green mandarin

PROSPERITY: From chocolate to vanilla this sweet concoction will enrich your life. The magnolia is the cherry on the top.
Notes – Royal Green Hojary frankincense, myrrh, vanilla absolute, magnolia, French lavender, tangerine, African sandalwood

These are traditional classic perfumes made with real essential oils and absolutes. No toxic, synthetic fragrance oils! They are all natural eau de perfumes in organic grape alcohol from wine grapes.

——————————————————————————————
Natural fragrances are not like synthetic, commercial, department store fragrances. They will not last all day. You need to apply the fragrance to your skin or your clothing and re apply them as needed.

They can last from 4 hours to 8 hours or longer depending on the formula and your skin. For extreme self care I ask you to anoint yourself and reapply them. It is like giving yourself a blessing. The perfumes in organic jojoba oil have a higher concentration of the essential oils and absolutes so will last longer than the eau de perfume and eau de toilette in organic grape alcohol.

No synthetics, phthalates, parabens, isolates, or nature identicals.
They are cruelty free with no animal testing.

They are available on my Etsy store.. and I am having a 20% off sale there now to help with the SEO with my store.

The 1 ml samples in an organdy bag are available here.

The 5 ml travel sprayers in an organdy bag are available here.

Ready To Ship Holiday Gifts

November 23rd, 2023 by

I have been traveling for three weeks.  I have been all the way down the East Coast from the Outer Banks of North Carolina to Sarasota, Florida with the crystal Siesta beach. I  have gone North crossed the mountains to the Midwest. Sharing Thanksgiving with some relatives is a change for me this year. Seeing people I have not seen in a very long time.

There is healing and closure going on for myself and others. The end of the year…and the  beginning of new things in my life.

So I decided to open my Etsy Store and my website JoAnne Bassett so people can order for the holidays. I will be back in 5 to 7 days to begin shipping for December.

Please get your orders in early so I know what needs to be mailed. I am also in the process of moving so I will close my stores again before Christmas.

I hope you all have a great Thanksgiving.  I am grateful for you all and my lovely perfumes that make people smile, feel good and empowered.

New DIY Fragrant Flight Kit

BACK__

I no longer teach the Fragrant Flights in person so I am offering a DIY Fragrance Flight kit. The Fragrant Flight is like a wine tasting experiencing and discussing the 100% essential oil and botanical notes. You go from light eau de parfums to heavy eau de parfums.

It is a kit that contains nine – 1 ml natural  eau de perfume  samples you will need, 9 paper blotters, in a black organdy bag. Instructions are included.

This would be a great DIY kit party for a bridal shower, birthday party, or a celebration of friends.. for men and women. Each person needs to have their own kit to experience the Fragrant Flight and to be able to take it home.

Purchase the DIY Fragrant Flight Kit.

Labor Day Sale On Etsy

September 1st, 2023 by

As the leaves start to turn yellow, orange, red and fall from the trees.. I realize Summer is over….The red leaves on the ground remind me that all things must pass.  A new season begins with a chilly 55 degrees this morning…

I have not sold my company and have decided to have a inventory clearance sale on my Etsy store only… 20% off with a $50.00 purchase that ends September 5.  I do not believe in sales. It is poverty thinking that we are not abundant enough to purchase at full price. That being said the game seems to be played in the retail arena offering holiday sales to move inventory. So be it. If this makes someone happy to be able to buy something for themselves now at this lower price than good for you!

Some traveling happened this summer for me.  Most of my free time has been spent nuturing my rose bushes.  Love my rose bouquets I have been enjoying at my computer.  Smells so good…just like my REAL..rose otto I use in my all natural perfume….

FYI – If you read a description or review that says “the perfume lasts all day” just know that it is not natural and most likely created with toxic synthetic laboratory created fragrance oil.  Natural perfumes with strong base notes can last 8 hours or so …but never all day.  Clean perfume is just marketing.. and any fragrance that has no color is decolorized.. synthetic lab materials.. not created from live plants and flowers… people still buy into this marketing.

Real botanical… natural perfumes looks like this photo of my eau de perfumes.. natural color from the plant material.

I have been designing botanical fragrances – plant perfumes since 1993. I am a Master Perfumer. Being a Luxury Natural Perfumer, I create French Classic Perfumes. I also consider the healing aspects of the oils and utilize those with intention. I invoke the Divine and work with energy and intention. Wearing my all natural fragrances will raise your vibration, raise your consciousness, and uplift you. I am a “Master of Energy” and I have encoded these fragrances to support you.

Have a fun Labor Day weekend.. and please do not work…

Summer Solstice Natural Perfume

June 21st, 2023 by

May be an image of Stone Henge and text

Have a great Summer Solstice.
In June 2011 I created a natural perfume with a Midsummer’s Night Dream theme. 

Here is a blog post I created:


Dark Mistress Eau de Parfum, the Night Queen

December 30th, 2011 by 

The feeling I had was to create a night perfume…with flowers and attributes of the night. I had ordered an interesting oil named Night Queen – special Indian Jasmine and had not used it. What a strange and inviting smell. 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  – 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 perfume said yes. It will transform you if you allow it. It is an Oriental Woody perfume.

Review from Joseph Sagona. What I love most about Dark Mistress is has a vintage feel and smell, but its very timeless at the same time, even though it has quite a few notes, its very smooth and refined, its very well blended, the notes flow together seamlessly.

Dark Mistress is a very classy, elegant, sophisticated, smoky, bright yet dark, strong, with soft touches of citrus and woody undertones Oriental Woody fragrance, this is unisex and mature, perfect for ages thirty and above. Read more

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. Here is the link for the review: http://leparfumeurrebelle.blogspot.com/2011/06/midsummer-nights-dream-perfume-event.html

Georgette Villareal – Scent Of The Day: Dark Mistress by JoAnne Bassett. JoAnne has a unique talent to create fragrances that capture the nostalgic beauty, sophistication and elegance of classic scents. This fragrance was inspired by the mystical beauty of Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream, and the intrigue of the night. It is a gorgeous floral, rich with exquisite jasmine, tuberose, and rosewood. It has a spicy depth of frankincense and cloves, and a lush greenness with violet leaf. It feels timeless, beautiful and mysterious. I feel elegant and beautiful wearing this scent. I love this sample!!
