New Private Reserve Collection

September 21st, 2021 by JoAnne Bassett

I have many expensive, rare essential oils and absolutes I used strictly for Custom Perfumes for years. Now I am no longer creating the custom perfumes.

In order to use up some of these precious materials I have created the Private Reserve Collection of natural perfumes. There are 6 extraordinary natural perfumes in this collection with a wide range of beautiful materials. Each of these materials has its own story and version of how rare they are. I am not going to write a long explanation regarding these materials. Most are no longer available and what is being sold on the market is often synthetic or adulterated.

Orris Root – iris – iris pallida or iris germanica. The roots of the iris are dried for 3 years and then processed. When using this material in a perfume it adds a powdery note. It has been used since Catherine de Medici.
Pink Lotus in Oman Frankincense – This sacred pink lotus is one of my favorites. This is my pink lotus hydro distilled essential oil from India from 2000. I added some Oman hydro distilled frankincense 2000 to ground it. Pink Lotus hydro distilled essential oil is ethereal and will evaporate. I charge 1 ml – 30 drops for $350 for this perfume material. This is not the pink lotus absolute sold today… it is a distilled oil with a very high energy that is no longer produced.
Boronia – A flower from Australia that has a deep, exotic aroma.. it is multi faceted.
Osmanthus – A creamy white flower native to Asia. To most noses it smells of tea and fruit. It is much more exotic than that to my nose.
Night Blooming Jasmine – The botanical name is Cestrum nocturnum, the lady of the night is not a jasmine at all. These small flowers bloom only at night in tropical regions -West Indies and Asia mostly. Very exotic smell. The only oil I have seen of this flower in the market is synthetic. This one does come from real flowers…not the laboratory.
Champa Leaf – Magnolia – This is a very precious material and I only have a small amount left. This came from Asia years ago. It is real and smells like magnolia. Other materials on the market are synthetic.

It was time for me to create a new collection and so I decided to create the Private Reserve Collection. As the name implies.. when the raw materials for these perfumes are gone those perfumes will be removed. Here is your chance to experience these precious miracles. They have been encoded, and Divine and Royal Alchemy have been performed on them. These formulas are proprietary.

These eau de perfumes in organic grape alcohol are available in a 5 ml silver with silver dots travel sprayer with silver organdy bag. 16% fragrance strength.

Buying My Perfume Formulas

August 19th, 2021 by JoAnne Bassett

In June I announced I was selling my perfume formulas, natural perfumes, rare essential oils, perfume supplies, etc. I am happy to announce I have sold quite a few of my 60+ formulas. One person told me what an opportunity. Yes it is. I am selling the formula; both with and without the alchemy connected to the formula, the rare ingredients I have used to make them, the bottles, and other essential oils in bulk. This is like buying a turn key business… kind of like a franchise without the huge franchise fees. I have offered to teach how to make my perfumes using the formulas for a price and have taught one buyer in person. I am trying to make the transition for the new formula owners as easy as possible for them. Rare oils and perfume supplies are sold on my Etsy store.

Many inquiries have come in. Some people want to expand their existing personal care product lines, some want to create a new business, etc. What I know is that now is the ultimate best time to get started. Why you ask? The holiday time is the best time of the year for perfume sales. Have you heard the term Christmas in July? Well many retailers are getting their ducks in a row.. what are they offering for the holidays. From Black Friday in November to the end of December is the time some companies make their “whole year in sales” in 6 weeks or less. I am not kidding! If you are considering this proposal there is no time to lose. You need to get started… get perfumes made.. all of the details ironed out. Labels, packaging and more. Photos need to be taken and your website launched. If you are adding the natural perfumes to your line … your brand, you need to plan it. Marketing.. and more.

If it is a question of not having the money to buy the perfume formulas, rare oils, supplies, etc. I can tell you a secret. Many new companies come into being on a daily basis with someone borrowing money from family or friends. Also many others have started their business with credit cards.. a line of credit, financing of some sort. Go online and see the stories of successful people who started with a $4,000 credit card that had the limit raised. They then applied for more cards until they had enough to buy what they wanted. This is an investment… an investment in you and your future.

If you read some of the stories you will discover they may have been able to pay the credit cards off in a timely manner when they started making sales. This is what I am talking about getting started now. The Christmas season is usually the biggest sales event of the year.

I am looking forward to see who else is called to carry on my legacy… I have made it really easy for you offering all of the parts for sale so you don’t have to research everything like I did!

The name of the first perfume I created for sale to the public was Le Voyage…. which in French means the journey. That is how I started.. it has been a journey of which I am so grateful for.

Also I will add I am going for a 10 day trip to Italy in September and a fall color and family event in November.

The time is now.

If you are not moving forward you are standing still or worse yet.. going backward! Let’s live our best life yet! What are you waiting for?

Rare Vintage Oils

August 11th, 2021 by JoAnne Bassett

This is gold… that is what these vintage oils are. You can no longer buy them.. they are not created… they are no longer available. Do you get the picture?

Most of these precious antique essential oils and absolutes are like fine wine… they are aged to perfection.. The vintage Mysore sandalwood from 2000 is like thick buttery syrup. When is the last time you smelled real sandalwood from East India that was not a synthetic?? It is not possible! Especially of this quality. There is small amount of this beautiful sandalwood left. This is the quality I have been putting into my perfumes for many years.

The people who have been called “to carry on my legacy” have been showing up and buying my perfume formulas, my rare essential oils and absolutes that are in the formulas. They are also buying my bottle supplies, my perfume kits, etc. sold on my JoAnne Bassett Etsy store. They are sending me paypal money combining orders from Etsy and my JoAnne Bassett website.

I have been visualizing my perfume room empty… all bottles, sprayers, vials, all supplies, perfumes and samples.. gift boxes, etc. all sold.

My vacation to Italy is coming the middle of September.. another East Coast vacation for fall color and a family gathering is coming in November.

If you want to stock up on some of your favorites now is the time.. I am receiving orders from people who have been my clients for 30 years.. I am grateful.

If you want money to purchase a perfume formula, perfume kit and supplies to start your own perfume business or add my perfumes to your existing product line, take a look at Paypal Working Capital. They have a wonderful low rate of interest compared to credit card companies. This could be your miracle you need to begin.

30 years ago I began my aromatherapy business with $10,000 and I was profitable from the start.

What is your intention? What is calling to you right now? Answer the call…life is short.. Quit the job you just tolerate. Begin what makes your heart happy. Make it fun and easy. You are worth it!

Healer Synergy Still Available

March 3rd, 2020 by JoAnne Bassett

People are asking if the Healer Synergy is still available today. Yes. It is not available on Etsy.

It is available on my website here.

It is available in a 1/2 oz and a 1 oz size… I would suggest wearing it on your chest daily… dilute it in a carrier oil such as almond oil, olive oil, etc.

I became a Certified Aromatherapist and started Bassett Aromatherapy in Bellevue, Washington in 1993.

One of my best sellers was Healer synergy. It is my version of the Thieves blend that was a copy of the

ingredients people used to protect themselves from the plague many years ago.

I have decided to sell it again for this pandemic with the Corona Virus and any other flu virus that is going rampant.

Healer Synergy fights germs, and is a bacteria buster! You can clean surfaces with this to remove the germs.

I carry this with me. Use when traveling.

Healer essential oil synergy – aromatherapy – travel oil for germs – germ fighter – bacteria buster – essential air cleaner- cleaning agent.

Ingredients: 100% Essential oils of clove bud, lemon, cinnamon bark, eucalyptus radiata, rosemary.

It is not diluted in a carrier oil.

Take 1 tablespoon of carrier oil and add 5 drops of Healer synergy to it. Mix well and apply to your chest.

Wash your hands well afterward. Do not get the Healer synergy in your eyes.

Diffuse, inhale directly, or dilute with almond oil, jojoba oil or vegetable oil to apply topically.

You can use Healer Synergy in a diffuser to clear and clean the air of germs.

Caution: Possible skin sensitivity. If pregnant or under a doctor’s care, consult your physician. Dilution is required; suitable for all but the most sensitive skin. Do not use on children under age 6.

Storage: Keep in a cool, dark place.

This is for teenagers and adults only. Not to be used for children.

One – 1/2 oz – 15 ml amber glass bottle is $50.00. One 1 oz – 30 ml is $100.00.

I started Bassett Aromatherapy in 1993 in Bellevue, Washington.

I have been selling this synergy to naturopaths, chiropractors, massage therapist, healers, and people every year since then. It Works!!

Go here to order.

It will also be useful to wear my soothing and stress free natural perfumes during this time.

Any of the perfumes that contain rose otto and rose absolutes will open your heart chakra and release fear.

My Luscious Roses perfume is the first choice I would suggest as it contains 6 different roses from 4 countries.

It is available under the Limited Edition Collection here.

Also check out my Benefits of Natural Perfumes page to discover other natural perfumes with alchemy

and based on aromatherapy principles for healing.

This is how I can serve at this time. Much love!

Are You Depressed?

November 3rd, 2019 by JoAnne Bassett

This is a photo of Vintage 2001 St. John’s Wort hydro distilled essential oils from the Himalayas. The regular steam distilled essential oil is no where as near as potent as this oil.

It is a beautiful essential oil that is used often for depression. A person can be mildly depressed or have chronic depression. When I was doing many aromatherapy consultations I have discovered people can be depressed living in Southern California near the beach in full sun. It is a state of mind. There are many people affected with SAD – the lack of light syndrome people get in the long, grey winter months. Many people living in the Seattle area suffer from depression from all of the rain and dark days. They often commit suicide as they cannot take it.

This 5 mls of rare and precious hydrodistilled essential oil will arrive in a 1 inch square glass perfume bottle with a gold cap so you can admire the color. It comes packaged in an ivory satin bag. The 2 mls will arrive in an amber bottle with black phenolic cone cap in an ivory bag.

Use a few drops in your bath…or put in a diffuser.

2 mls of Vintage 2001 St. John’s Wort hydro distilled essential oil from the Himalayas – Price $40.00

5 mls of Vintage 2001 St. John’s Wort hydro distilled essential oil from the Himalayas – Price $85.00

To purchase.

This is a photo of the rich and deep Vintage 2000 Jasmine Sambac absolute from India. It is so unbelievable and beautiful. Jasmine is a serious feminine oil and is an amazing aphrodisiac.

When I was unpacking boxes I realized I still had a lot of it after all of this time and have decided to share it with the world. I use this oil in my Custom bespoke natural perfumes and my Custom Perfume Potions. Now is your chance to have some of this rare and precious oil for yourself.

2 mls is $40.00 and will come in a small amber vial with a black phenolic cap in an ivory satin bag.

Use a few drops in your bath…or put in a diffuser.

Price: $40.00 for 2 mls Vintage 2000 Jasmine Sambac absolute from India
