Leather Collection

When I launched my Leather Collection recently I was looking for short names for the various leathers.

I renamed English Leather to French?Leather ?and Tuscan?Leather to Italian Leather so there will be no confusion that these are JoAnne Bassett ?all natural leather fragrances.

Leather?Collection

The Leather Collection is my interpretation of leathers from around the world. They are?natural perfumes in a base of organic golden jojoba oil and eau de parfums are in organic grape alcohol from wine grapes.

Arabian: This special leather combines oud and incense to create a fine leather that is timeless?attar of Oud Cambodia, frankincense carteri, frankincense freana, cedarwood, palo santo, cassie absolute

French Leather: This unusual leather mixed with wood is a light variety that is easy to wear?copaiba balsam, benzoin, lavender wild France, guiac wood, incense cedar

Italian: This sensuous leather is like a summer evening?s drive in a Bugatti with leather seats and jasmine and orange blossoms in the air?cistus, wild orange, vintage jasmine grandifolium, Bulgarian tobacco, light patchouli

Russian: A smoky leather that is rich and deep?birch tar, Bulgarian tobacco, cardamon, clary sage, St Johns wort

Spanish: The comforting smell of amber and leather is derived from the high quality cistus?Spanish sage – salvia lavendula, cistus, dark patchouli, ambrette seed, sandalwood

Leather Collection Bottle

This tall hand blown glass bottle is 1 ounce and about 4 inches tall. The colors are: Arabian is black, French is deep aqua, Russian is royal blue,?Spanish is?emerald green, and Italian?is deep?purple.

The color scheme on this bottle is the Reflections perfume bottle.

Because this is a hand blown glass bottle created one at a time not made in a machine the size may vary. The elegant tapered dauber extends to the bottom of the bottle.

All 1/4 ounce perfumes come with this precious hand blown, glass bottle including a lovely, clear glass dauber to apply the perfume. Turning the dauber to the right locks the bottle and makes the seal airtight. The artist uses no molds, making each perfume bottle a unique handmade creation.?Each piece is signed and dated and are collectibles. The parfum is packaged inside a gilt-edged ?book box? lined with a plush creamy white silk pillow and enveloped in a creamy white silk bag. The parfum comes in a glass bottle.

The lovely Ida Meister has done it again. ?She reviewed my latest collection of natural fragrances on Fragrantica – Scented Snippets. ?My Leather Collection is my interpretation of Leather throughout the world.

Go check it out. You can order a sample pack of all 5 eau de parfums.

Nothing says Spring more than a burst of citrus. ?During Spring in Southern California we have citrus blooms exploding on the trees. ?We have sweet orange, lemon, grapefruit, tangerine, lime, and more.

My Le Voyage eau de toilette is a light, fresh, citrus floral that is perfect for those Spring days. Especially the days that are rainy, snowing, or Mother Nature brings earthquakes, a tornado, or other disasters. It is very uplifting and a happy and feel good scent. ?Everyone can wear it and enjoy it. It is perfect for work.

Mother’s Day is Sunday! I create Couture Natural Perfumes from rare and precious materials that are exquisite, opulent and over the top! Bespoke parfums are available for discerning clientele who want to distinguish themselves and have something that is uniquely theirs. Is this you or someone you know?

I have a variety of hand blown glass bottles to choose from in different colors.

Amphora hand blown glass

For a fresh, happy citrus scent that will make her smile I suggest Le Voyage eau de toilette. ?It is not a heavy scent but a light citrus floral. ?Refreshing and with vintage Bulgarian white rose otto – “the flower of light” it will open her heart and create a beautiful presence for her to reside in. With sensuous vintage mellow jasmine and vintage powdery Mysore sandalwood you will be in bliss. ?The added bonus is the linden blossom and pink lotus oil that will transport you. ?Enjoy the journey.

Le Voyage parfum

If you want to wear Le Voyage in the evening and experience the fullness of the florals….I suggest you present your Mother or yourself with Le Voyage parfum in organic jojoba oil. ?It is a parfum concentration so it will be 4 times stronger than the eau de toilette in organic grape alcohol. It is presented in a lavender organza bag with beads. ?Some of the beads are hearts. ?Keep your heart open with love.

Make this Mother’s Day a day to remember. ?It may be a Grandmother, or Mother-in-law you are celebrating…maybe you are celebrating you!. ?Make it special with a natural perfume.

My perfumes awaken the beauty within!
