Greetings

Welcome to the Natural Perfumers Guild website. On June 1st, 2007, the one-year anniversary of the reopening of the Guild, it was renamed from the Artisan Natural Perfumers Guild to the Natural Perfumers Guild. A new logo was selected to celebrate this change, and to give an aesthetic to the modern perfumes that convey beauty, life, nature and the recognition of the botanical source of our perfumed products. The slogan "Slow Scent" was also adopted at this time, to reflect the care, time and artisan nature of the creation of natural perfumes.

The Natural Perfumers Guild is a consortium of international perfumers, associates, suppliers and enthusiasts dedicated to perfumes made with natural aromatics. Founded by Mandy Aftel, author of Essence and Alchemy, the Guild is now under the ownership of Anya McCoy of Anya's Garden of Natural Perfume. Anya and Mandy consult on the intent and direction of the Guild.

The main principle of the Guild is to exalt and encourage the use of natural botanicals in perfume, toiletries and environmental fragrancing. Standards of excellence in creating natural perfumes are demanded from, and met by, our perfumers. We encourage you to sample these handmade artisan products, luxuriously experiencing the beauty of nature, captured in a bottle.
