Description

Hello, I'm Anya McCoy, an artisan natural perfumer and President and Owner of the Natural Perfumers Guild. I'm your hostess on this friendly, helpful group dedicated to natural, botanical perfume made only with natural aromatics. We encourage members to adhere to the Guild standards of excellence in regards to sourcing, blending and education. Do you want to learn how to make perfume? You have found the largest, most dynamic group on natural perfume on the planet and we're all here to help each other with our artisanal art. Join us!

Artisan perfumers have a hands-on approach to fragrance creation, and this form of niche perfumery is centuries old, untouched by corporate demands, deadlines or conformity. A natural perfume is made of natural aromatics such as essential oils, absolutes, waxes, CO2 extracts, resins, concretes, oleoresins, herbs, tinctures, and infused oils. Natural perfume is also sometimes called botanical perfumery, or organic natural perfume, depending on the materials used.

To view my blog on natural perfumery, visit Anya's Garden of Natural Perfumery

Many of us have started to infuse and tincture our own materials, using aromatics like rare flowers, beeswax, fragrant leaves, saffron, sugar and whatever strikes our fancy.
We also address sustainability issues, ethics, marketing, networking and how to best make this community grow in a responsible and dynamic manner.
I am President of the Natural Perfumers Guild, which has goals of raising public awareness of natural perfume and also educating perfume lovers about natural aromatics and the handmade artisanal creations. Want to learn to make natural perfume? This group is a great starting point for your education!
