“I was talking to my good friend Emma Tiebens about the devastation in the Philippines and I wondered how I could make a difference.

This is a heartfelt message from my good friend Susan Ordona:

A few days ago, one of the strongest typhoon in recorded history hit and devastated the province of Leyte.
As the big relief organizations are not able to reach Abuyog yet, the Abuyognons from Manila, USA and other countries have taken it upon ourselves to help out as much as we can with the limited resources we have. Without food, water, medicines and basic necessities, our town people are in a very tough survival situation.
We have to do something with utmost urgency as lives are at stake.

The generosity and kindness of the Abuyognons and friends are so evident when everyone just gives cash and checks so our groups in the Philippines could start buying supplies and hand deliver these to the people of Abuyog.

It is a big challenge to get those supplies to our town because of the road conditions, some are non-existent and some are barely passable and of course the dangers along the way.?Even with those hurdles, the determination to get to Abuyog is there.

I have been receiving private messages and telephone calls from people wanting to help and donate, so I created this site to make it easier for people to do so.?This is also for others who want to donate to our cause, no amount is too little…every little bit helps.

100% of all your donations will go to the people of Abuyog….for their immediate needs and beyond that….the rebuilding process as well.

More from Susan Ordona:

This devastation of Tacloban is horrible.?My hometown is about 50 miles south of Tacloban and was also affected along with the other towns along the road way.?Using hashtag?#Tacloban?#Abuyog?#TyphoonHaiyan really helped us get a streamline of information about a those keywords with the hashtags.

Where did the Summer go? ? Autumn is one week away and it is time to put away the Citrus and Citrus Floral fragrances. Now we must ?reach deeper into the rich amber?(Venus Amber comes to mind) woods, incense??(Timeless) and greens?(Vert). ?Chypre?(Intimacy) and all of the really intense fragrances become appropriate now!

The crowds in Southern California have left the beach. ?So it is time to leave the soft fragrances behind also. ?I now reach for the floral orientals, the orientals and the musky rich perfumes. ?There are some great choices in the Royal Collection. You can purchase samples to try and mix and match them. ?It is great fun. The More Life Collection and the Limited Collection offer great choices for fall.

Try the Italian Smoke for a rich tobacco smoke and velvet fragrance from the More Life Collection. ?The soy candle Exotica??is a complimentary perfumed candle that shares some of the same essential oils. Try it!

Have fun with the sample sets! ?There may be some hidden jewels in the bunch you cannot live without!

If you do not find anything you really like I offer Custom Intuitive Perfumes that are one of a kind bespoke perfumes. ?They are only for you and you will never find another person wearing your special fragrance.

In the year 2000 I listed my Le Voyage eau de toilette and parfum, and Reveiller eau de toilette and parfum on my Bassett Aromatherapy website at? www.AromaWorld.com

Since then I have added many new fragrances and removed some collections.? Some of the perfumes that were removed were the Divine Collection – a sense of the Divine from 2005.? Others may have been created from a blog project or a project of the Natural Perfumers Guild.

I love creating 100% Natural Perfumes from essential oils and absolutes.? These botanical perfumes use oils that have a live energy..the soul of the plant.? You can feel their energy.? It is not like putting synthetic chemicals or isolates on your skin.? You will smell and feel the difference!

In 2011 I commissioned some hand blown glass bottles for my Limited Edition Collection.? These are exquisite parfums with a high concentration of oils.? The extraits are very precious with some rare and precious ingredients.? When these are gone …the collection will end.

In 2012 I created the More Life Collection of parfums and eau de parfums. They are luxurious extraits created with costly essences.? Italian Smoke eau de perfume from this collection is the only one not in extrait form.? The parfums wear closer to your body and the eau de parfums have more sillage.

Some of my favorite fragrances were created on a New Moon, Full Moon, or special astrological event.? I just sat down at my perfume organ and created.? It is alchemy that I perform.

I love creating Custom Bespoke Couture perfumes and Custom Perfume Potions.? Have you had a perfume made just for you?

A special 25% off sale is on right now on my natural fragrances, body care products, perfume kits, travel sprayers, natural candles, samples, and essential oils.? This offer expires Wednesday, March 27.? Place an order today!
