Anya's Garden Giveaway - Win a set of perfume samples and ambergris tincture

-
Anya's Garden is Celebrating the Redesigned Website with a Giveaway

Celebrate the Natural Perfumers Guild-designated "December is Natural Perfume Month" With Us!

Click on the graceful photo of Anya's Garden perfumes with a fabulous clereodendron flower and wander down the fragrant garden path to discover the new aromatherapy and potpourri line that I'll be launching next year. Post here with the name of the new line and you will be entered in a giveaway. The winner will receive a set of samples of Pan, Kaffir, Fairchild, RiverCali, Temple and a 2ml tincture of the legendary rare and gorgeous ambergris. These samples retail for $30 and the ambergris is very hard to find, and I know a lot of perfumistas would love to experience my private stash aged, glorious tincture.

This contest closes in five days on Dec 7th at midnight, so check back here after visiting my new site, and post. This offer is open to anyone anywhere in the world with the exception of Germany and Italy - I'm so sorry, but shipping there is very difficult, if not impossible. If you're in those countries and wish to participate, you may if you have a friend in another country willing to accept the goodies and figure out a way to get them to you.

Note: Natural Perfumers Guild members are ineligible for this giveaway, but if they post on this blog, they will be entered for a duplicate intra-Guild giveaway.

    I love the name of your new line Anya-"Prima Aroma, Aromatherapy Perfumes and Potpourris from Anya's Garden." You just proved that an aromatics line can sound very elegant without having a French name! (LOL) Take care, Simone Wolf.

    What a pretty new site design! The name of your new line is "Prima Aroma, Aromatherapy Perfumes and Potpourris from Anya's Garden."

    I adore clerodendron, they grow nicely here, so sweet in the early fall when all the other fragrant trees have long since stopped blooming.

    Wow - a potpourri line with a primal purpose. How intriguing... Sounds very primitive-sexy. Meow! Are you going to use flowers from your garden? I love the shot of your Vietnamese gardenia. Just gorgeous.

    Hi Anya,

    The name of the new line is: "Prima Aroma, Aromatherapy Perfumes and Potpourris from Anya's Garden - Scent with a Primal Purpose".

    I would LOVE to win a sample of your Natural Perfumes, I have read so many wonderful things about them! And the ambergris tincture would come in really useful about now for my own personal attempt at Natural Perfumery.

    Thank you for the great giveaway! Looking forward to seeing the new line.

    ...Adding Prima Aroma to my comment from last night. It got lost in the word shuffle. I meant to say: Prima Aroma sounds very primal-sexy, and I love the idea of a potpourri with a primal purpose. I think that's got to be a very new direction for potpourri to take.

Natural Isolates and the Natural Perfumer - Being the Captain of Your Own Fragrant Ship

Get a cup of coffee or tea - this is a long blog post, with lots of twists and turns and surprises - good surprises!  Please see the blog post yesterday on the Guild member vote on the definition of natural isolates if you have not already read it. Backstory Do you ever wonder why I never taught a course in natural isolates or began to sell them on my website? After all, I was the pioneer natural perfumer who first used them in my MoonDance and StarFlower perfumes, both best sellers and award winners. Something told me that I needed to do a lot more research because a wrong move, the wrong isolate sold, could ruin the creations of lots of perfumes made by my (natural perfumer) customers. I have a duty as a trusted authority in natural perfumery, a person who heads the Natural Perfumers Guild, and who started a Yahoo discussion group on natural perfumeryin 2002, to be responsible and proceed slowly. Currently there are no regulations that address natural isolates, or ...

Ask the Perfumer Sunday Oct 21, 2012

Ask the Perfumer - and an Ambergris hypothesis Guild member Lisa Coburn posted a link on Facebook that took me to a video on how cephalopods--squid, cuttlefish and octopus, are masters of disguise.  As I watched it, I made a perfume connection, straight to the elusive, mysterious, rare and valued ambergris, a gorgeous material used in perfumery. Photo of the famed 'Yeti' chunk of ambergris. Ambergris is produced by the stomach/intestinal secretions of the sperm whale to protect its insides from the sharp beaks of the squid and cuttlefish, two main items in its diet.  The whale evacuates the chunk of ambergris when it becomes large enough to be an irritant on its own, albeit a softer, rounder irritant compared to the beak and cartilage of the squid or cuttlefish.  As a perfumer, I often have to gently remind excitable newbies ;-)  that the scent of the ambergris is secondary to its major contribution to a perfume, which is its ability to 'marry' and a...
