CHAPEL HILL, N.C. - s4story -- OR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Legendary Couture Master Perfumer JoAnne Bassett Offers Rare Opportunity to Acquire 70-Formula Natural Perfume Codex

A once-in-a-generation archive of proven all-natural perfume formulas — built over 33 years of botanical mastery — is now available to the right steward

Chapel Hill, NC — August 2026 — JoAnne Bassett, couture master perfumer and founder of JoAnne Bassett Perfumes (est. 1993), has announced the private offering of The JoAnne Bassett Codex — a curated archive of 70 original, market-tested natural perfume formulas representing a lifetime of uncompromising artistry.

Each formula in the Codex is a finished, proven composition crafted entirely from pure botanical and animal absolutes — zero synthetics, zero compromise. Built on rare and increasingly unavailable materials including vintage jasmine absolutes, real oakmoss, civet, castoreum, and wildcrafted botanicals sourced worldwide, the Codex represents a world of classical natural perfumery that is quietly disappearing.

An Unrepeatable Opportunity

Years ago, JoAnne Bassett was offered $1.5 million for just two of her formulas by private investors. The Codex contains 70.

IFRA restrictions, endangered botanicals, and the industrialization of fragrance have made true all-natural perfumery increasingly rare. Many of the absolutes used in these formulas are no longer in commercial production anywhere in the world. To acquire the Codex is to own a piece of perfumery history — and the ability to continue it.

The Codex is presented in a bespoke artisan box of exceptional craftsmanship and is offered privately to a single steward.

Who the Codex Is For

• Conscious collectors of sacred and rare objects
• Luxury fragrance investors seeking a foundation of authentic artistry
• Indie perfume houses wanting an instant, credible, complete collection
• Heirs to the tradition of classical natural perfumery
