Thank You Einsof and the Australian Perfume Junkies for a great interview and review of my Sacred Frankincense 1 natural perfume.

Post by Einsof

Hello Junkies!

My name is Einsof (eye-n-s?off) and I?d like to share a fusion of styles, mysticism and perfume with you. I recently sat down with botanical perfumer JoAnne Bassett to explore her Sacred Frankincense Collection. It comes as no surprise that speaking with JoAnne is rather like listening to your favorite Tori Amos album in that you?re going to be subject to impromptu voyages into spirituality, reincarnation and a host of muses both sacred and sensual.

?Working with some absolutes blocks the energy.? A typical Bassett-ism, there is nothing within JoAnne?s work which does not reach out to some higher purpose, ?They can make the purpose of a perfume muddy, unclear or the energy simply stops flowing.? Her technical approach is intimately entwined with a higher calling. The word ?exquisite? floats around the room as perhaps the only synonym for the art of her craft.

You can read the rest of the article?

To purchase Sacred Frankincense 1 Natural Perfume. ?I ship to almost all countries. ?Go on my website to?order!
