Description

You've found the largest, most dynamic group on natural perfumery on the planet and we're all here to help each other with our artisanal endeavors. Join us!

Our archives are an incredible educational resource for anyone interested in natural perfumery. There's lots of information in them, and they are truly the largest repository of NP info to be found anywhere on the Internet, in an easily-searchable format. We have strict posting rules that set us apart from other Yahoo groups, and these rules keep messages tidy and easily readable.

Hello, I'm Anya McCoy the list owner and I'm an artisan perfumer. I also teach perfumery in an online course with a 'self-study' option - click here Anya's Garden Natural Perfumery Institute. I have also owned and managed the Natural Perfumers Guild since 2006.

I'm your hostess on this friendly, helpful group dedicated to perfume made only with aromatics from flora, the sea and cruelty-free animal essences. We encourage members to adhere to the Guild standards of excellence in regards to sourcing, blending and education.
A natural perfume is made of aromatics such as essential oils, absolutes, waxes, CO2 extracts, resins, concretes, oleoresins, herbs, tinctures, and infused oils. Natural perfume is also sometimes called botanical perfume. No synthetic fragrance oils are ever appropriate in a natural perfume.

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.
