The most popular Natural Perfume gift has been my Perfume Kits. The DIY Perfume Kit is the largest one and is for a woman or man who has an interest in blending essential oils to make candles and bodycare products. This DIY Perfume Kit has also helped many people start a perfume business.  It has everything you need to begin.

Some people use this perfume kit for a perfume party for 25 people or less and has 35 essential oils to choose from.  It has This Perfume Kit will make a great gift and will be sure to please.

Another great Valentine’s Day Gift is the Create Your Own Perfume – Party Edition.

This perfume kit is a smaller kit and can be used for a perfume party for 20 people or less.  It has 15 essential oils to choose from and is appropriate for younger people like tweens.

This year instead of buying a bouquet of roses or flowers… how about a natural perfume containing real rose otto and real floral oils from the flowers themselves.  We are talking about natural exotic essential oils and absolutes.

One of my all time favorite is Luscious Roses parfum in organic jojoba oil.  This exquisite parfum has 6 different roses and is the ultimate Valentine’s Day gift. A gift of love that will open your heart, heal your heart, help you receive and give love more freely and love yourself more.  Self love is so important.  How can you love anyone if you do not first love yourself. Give yourself this gift of roses today.  You are worth it!

Empowering women and men has been a mission of mine.  Many of us grew up in a dysfunctional home.  Our Mothers did not have the capacity to love us as we needed to be loved and cared for. They did not receive it themselves growing  up.  So let’s change the story and the DNA of our lineage.  It can start with you.

I put together this First Aid Kit to Empower People.

This kit includes 5 of my favorite natural perfumes I wear all of the time.

The 5 Natural Perfumes are Italian Smoke for grounding, Indulgence for heart opening and self esteem, Timeless for meditation and a general feel good, Josephine for abundance – financial and for all good things, and Contessa for confidence.

Just apply these perfumes when and where on your body you desire!

Order today to make sure your gift arrives in time.  I get pretty busy in the first week of February creating these perfumes and perfume kits.

My website shopping cart appears to be working now.  Some of the pages I removed the shopping cart so if that is the case please send the payment with Venmo.  If you want to email me what you would like to order with your address and phone number, please email at joanne@joannebassett.com

Have a great Valentine’s Day and don’t forget to get yourself something that will make you smile.

Natural Perfume Kit – Do It Yourself Kit

With all of the synthetic, lab created toxic chemicals in fragrances, candles, bath salts, bath oils, body lotions and soaps we are bombarded with allergy symptons. Migraine headaches, runny noses, and watering eyes just walking through a fragrance dept in a store.

A DIY natural perfume kit typically includes essential oils, carrier oils, empty perfume bottles, and tools such as pipettes. Some kits may also include recipes or scent combination suggestions to help beginners get started. The focus is on using plant-based ingredients, ensuring your final product is free from artificial additives, parabens, and phthalates.

These kits cater to both beginners and experienced users who want to explore the art of perfumery without investing in expensive equipment or hard-to-find materials. By using these kits, you gain control over the ingredients and ratios, making it possible to create a fragrance that aligns with your preferences and values.

Benefits of Making Your Own Perfume

1. Customization: Unlike pre-made perfumes, which often have fixed scent profiles, a DIY kit allows you to experiment with different essential oil combinations. Whether you prefer floral notes like lavender or earthy tones like sandalwood, you can adjust the blend to suit your mood or occasion.

2. Natural Ingredients: Many commercial perfumes contain synthetic fragrances that can irritate sensitive skin or trigger allergies. By using a DIY 100% essential oils kit, you ensure that only natural, plant-based ingredients go into your perfume.

3. Cost-Effective: While high-end perfumes can cost hundreds of dollars per bottle, a single kit provides enough materials for multiple batches of custom scents at a fraction of the price.

4. Sustainability: Crafting your own perfume reduces packaging waste and often involves reusable components like glass bottles. This makes it an eco-friendly alternative to mass-produced options.

How to Use a DIY Natural Perfume Kit

1. Understand Scent Families

Before diving into mixing oils, familiarize yourself with the concept of scent families (e.g., floral, citrus, woody). Most fragrances consist of top notes (the initial impression), middle notes (the heart of the fragrance), and base notes (the lasting scent). For example, bergamot might serve as a bright top note, while benzoin works as a warm base note.

2. Start Small

When experimenting with blends, start with small quantities to avoid wasting materials if you don’t like the result. A common ratio is 30% top notes, 50% middle notes, and 20% base notes.

3. Dilute Properly

Essential oils need dilution before they can be applied to the skin safely. Carrier oils like jojoba or fractionated coconut oil act as a base for your perfume while helping the fragrance last longer.

4. Test Your Formula

Once mixed, let your perfume sit for at least 24 hours before testing it on your skin. This resting period allows the scents to meld together and develop their full character.

5. Adjust As Needed

After testing your initial blend, tweak the ratios if necessary until you’re satisfied with the final product.

Choosing the Right Kit

Not all kits offer the same variety or quality of ingredients, so it’s important to choose one that meets your needs:

– Beginner-Friendly Kits: Look for options that have clear instructions if you’re new to perfumery.

– Advanced Kits: If you already have some experience, opt for kits with a wider range of essential oils and customization tools.

– Eco-Conscious Options: Select kits that use sustainable packaging and ethically sourced ingredients.

Reading customer reviews can also help determine whether a specific kit delivers on its promises.

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 best laid plans…

As most of you know (if you listened to my Facebook Live on my Facebook personal page) …

I had planned on being on a tour in Egypt for 15 days over my birthday on April 1.

The tour was cancelled and I have been home in quarantine like most of you!  Going out to the post office to mail my perfume orders and buying groceries is the extent of my outings.  So I am shipping orders now …

As many of you know my natural perfumes are created with aromatherapy principles…using very high quality essential oils.

They are comforting,  calming, and they soothe the emotions and bring you peace. They release fear which is not good for the immune system and they open your heart chakra so you can feel more love and so much more. Please go here to read more about the natural perfume benefits you receive when wearing my natural fragrances.

Weeks ago I brought back my Healer Synergy to use on your body and in a face mask for protection and more. I have reduced the price to make it more available to some.
