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.

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!

Glorious vintage Jasmine sambac and Jasmine grandiflorum absolute.. so smooth and beautiful.. It makes me swoon. I have this premium, rare jasmine from 2000 from India.

Periodically I release a few more bottles of my vintage essential oils stash.  I have now set aside what I want to keep for myself personally and to create some  more perfumes with.  I am releasing the rest. This is your chance if you want some. Some of these beautiful oils are rare and precious and are no longer distilled and they have not been for years. Think of fine wine you keep in the wine cellar and bring it out for special occasions. Then one day that precious stock from your wedding is gone. I shared a very old expensive bottle of red with some friends.  It was a French wine that was 20+ years old and was one of the few left from their wedding. We drank this bottle with them, by candlelight, talking about life and times.  The red wine was like velvet. Totally amazing and to this day I can remember the taste and feel…That is how special these oils are. Like one of a kind experiences.

They are being sold on my Etsy store under Perfumer’s Corner.  When they are gone that is it.

Enjoy your long Memorial Weekend.  Make new memories and touch in to the ones that touch your heart.

Also do not forget the men and women who gave their lives for our freedom.  Never forget their sacrifice.

For many years I only used my rare and precious hydro distilled pink lotus essential oil in my Custom Perfumes. My Le Voyage eau de parfum had it in the early 2000’s. It is a very precious oil unlike the pink lotus absolute that does not have any of the energy this rare oil has.  I have only 1 royal blue hand blown glass bottle left to make a custom perfume from.  December 14 is the last New Moon I will make custom perfumes and custom perfume potions…order now.. that page will disappear from my website.

So yesterday I was in the ethers and I received the message to create a Lakshmi eau de perfume using this precious vintage ingredient.  I only have 1 bottle left…So I am offering this perfume with the hydro distilled Oman frankincense oil formulated with the hydro distilled pink lotus oil and others.

Here is what I wrote on the website page:

A Goddess is a female deity. Goddesses have been linked with virtues such as beauty, love, sexuality, motherhood, and fertility.

Lakshmi is the goddess of wealth, fortune, power, luxury, beauty, fertility, and auspiciousness. She holds the promise of material fulfilment and contentment. She is described as restless, whimsical yet maternal, with her arms raised to bless and to grant.

When I visited India in the summer of 2001 I went to pink lotus ponds and watched how they cut the lotus flowers.  I was given a pink lotus and I carried it in my purse for 4 days without water. I was told that is very “auspicious”.

The pink lotus flower and oil represents wealth, creativity, and more. I was able to purchase large quantities of pink lotus hydro distilled essential oil.  This is not the pink lotus absolute from India being sold.  This is a rare hydro distillation which means the essential oil is very concentrated. It was very expensive as it takes a lot of pink lotus flowers to create it. For 20 years I have mostly put the pink lotus oil in the Custom Perfumes I create. Now that I no longer create custom perfumes. I have decided to offer some of this precious oil in a new perfume. Lakshmi came to me and told me the details of the perfume and what to charge.

It is a very potent, esoteric oil.  The two main essential oils in this beautiful eau de perfume are the hydro distilled pink lotus essential oil of India and the hydro distilled Oman Frankincense essential oil. There are other essential oils also in this perfume.

When I had my Le Bijou perfume boutique in La Jolla, CA I offered a meditation class.  I would put a drop of this pink lotus oil on everyone’s  third eye.  The effects were immediate.  It was calming and altering at the same time.

My disclaimer for this potent perfume…please ONLY wear this eau de perfume at night when you are home and will not be driving or going anywhere.  Put a drop on your third eye (between your eyebrows) and on your heart and anywhere else you are called.  You can do this before meditation or before bed.

This eau de perfume will be 16% fragrance strength in organic grape alcohol and will be packaged in a 6 ml glass cube perfume bottle in an ivory satin bag.

You will receive a 6 ml Lakshmi Eau de Perfume in an ivory satin bag. 

Price $144.00
