JoAnne Bassett
Focuses on all‑natural, botanical compositions built from organic, sustainable and often vintage essential oils and precious absolutes, using organic jojoba oil and organic grape alcohol as carriers. Emphasizes French classic perfume structures and aromatherapeutic, “healing” aspects of materials, positioning her work as suitable for those avoiding synthetics and as small‑batch, hand‑crafted indie fragrances.
