I am new to natural perfume, but am certified in clinical aromatherapy, as with

everything else in my life I'm trying to re teach myself how to do everything

more natural. Have been experimenting with EOs but have much to learn. Really

appreciate everyones post, I read them all! If I should win, I would appreciate

receiving the textbook.

[Guest guest]

How far have we come as an industry in the past 10 years! I bet you've seen a

lot of maturing and growth in that time!

My favourite things about the Guild are how it connect me to other perfumers

from across the world (its easy to feel isolated living in Australia as we are

so far away from everyone else!), and also the technical information I can glean

either by asking questions of the members, or by looking back at old files and

posts.

Id love to win a copy of the textbook if Im chosen.

Warm regards

The best thing about this group is the combined knowledge of many individuals

with separate experiences in natural perfumery, who are always venturing to push

boundaries in their art. Often, the clever tips and solutions shared here

originate from an artist's experience, and are not the sort of thing that one

can simply look up in a textbook or reference!

I love natural aromatics because they create an environment that feels right and

gives a sense of peace. We are meant to live surrounded by natural smells, just

as our ancestors did.

If I am lucky in the draw, I would love Anys's textbook.

Congratulates Anya on 10 years! Thank you for dedicating your efforts to

fostering such a cohesive and knowledgeable community.

Ok let me see, 10 years, long time, perfumery evolved and the market evolved

too.Since I live in the Middle East I traveled to a massive perfumery fair at

the end of may in Dubai, Beautyworld 2012. There were hundreds of traders not

only of naturals but of synthetics as well there was a section for hair, nails,

Bottles and of course perfumes. I have met loads of suppliers of naturals from

several countries and they are going to send me their samples for me to check. I

have made a big database with names and all details.I have bottle suppliers,

manufacturers of Natural essential oils.

So if anyone needs contacts let me know.

Now for the prize draw, I am not fussy whatever prize comes I am happy, just

pleased I have been able to take part in the draw.May the best man (woman) win.

Peace

educational foundation for members; and hold standards of friendly discussion

and respect for other's ideas paramount to maintain a peaceful group.

Hi Everyone!

I hardly ever post (maybe just once or twice) but I read all of the discussions.

I absolutely love how helpful everyone is with answering questions and giving

advice. We are all so fortunate to be part of such a wonderful, sharing

community!

I have had a love affair with natural essences for about 13 years now since I

started studying their effects in skin care. Over the years my love has evolved

into a full blown passion as I create and share natural perfumes and products

with my family and friends.

If chosen, I would LOVE the textbook.

Thank you Anya for creating a place for us to share our passion and thank you to

the group for all of your generous help.

Hello to everyone, I love this group. I don't post as much as I would like to.

I'm fairly new here and don't want to sound stupid. Plus you are all so

knowledgable and quite elegant in your descriptions. I read every post with

delight.

I'm the quiet kid, but I hope to break out of my shell someday <g> I appreciate

Anya's knowledge as well as everyone here. Congrats on 10 years, wow, just so

amazing and impressive.

If I were chosen, I would be most interested in the textbook, as, at this point,

I know that I do need to engage my " left-brain " more in this subject matter,

which I have been obssessed with for as long as I can remember.

Dear List Mom and fellow scent enthusiasts,

I'm very new to all of this still. I've been doing a vast amount of research and

I'm always wanting to learn more. I can't wait until I can apply everything that

I'm learning to making my own fragrances. I have so many ideas!

Every morning I sit down with my cup of coffee and read what everyone is

posting. Everyone here is so educated on the matter, it makes me feel even more

new to it all! I want to thank everyone for just being wonderful. I had no idea

there were so many people out there with similar interests. I hope that I can

continue to learn from all of you as best I can.

That being said, if I do win this generous drawing I would LOVE to have a copy

of the textbook.

Thank you Anya for starting this group in the first place and thank you everyone

that participates regularly.

Hello All,

I have actually met, even shared good food and wine with some wonderful people

here in this group-from the US, Europe, Australia and even people from my own

city of Wellington, Aotearoa. That certainly was a surprise element as one does

not always expect a real time experience through an online group.

Being a professional perfumer its vital to keep up with new ideas and

discoveries, (even if some are not of heartfelt interest) and this group

certainly provides a platform for these. I have enjoyed reading material from

the database and learnt from it. I've also enjoyed sampling others work- that's

really one of the best experiences, finding the personalities within!

As well, there's always something new to read and the more that's on the table

is enriching for us all.

Therefore it's the textbook interests me!

Warm wishes,

Francesca
