The Natural Perfumers Guild is pleased to announce one of the most generous giveaways ever!
Celebrate the Natural Perfumers Guild designated "December is Natural Perfume Month" With Us!
Celebrate the Natural Perfumers Guild designated "December is Natural Perfume Month" With Us!
For everyone who has ever dreamed of owning the 3-volume "Bible" of the flavor and fragrance industry - Steffen Arctander's Perfume and Flavor Materials of Natural Origin and Perfume and Flavor Chemicals (aroma-chemicals) this giveaway may make your dreams come true. Even better - it's the searchable CD - fabulous for quick and easy research!
This is open to any reader/poster, anywhere in the world. It will be shipped insured and require a signature upon receipt.
Guild member Allured Publishing Media is generously offering two CDs - one for the general public - readers of this blog - and the other for Guild members! Many of the Guild giveaways this month will offer "two-sies" giveaways so that the general public gets a fair chance and so that the Guild members don't feel left out. The Guild members know they get great perks and benefits, so I'm just keeping the love flowing ;-)
All you have to do is leave a comment on this blog - nice ones are especially appreciated ;-) - and your name will be entered in the drawing. The giveaway is open until midnight New Years - December 31, 2008. The winners will be announced New Years Day.
If you are a Guild member and posting from an email account that I might not recognize, please indicate in your post that you are a Guild member. Thanks.
I own the CD and I can share that it is a fabulous tool! I also have the Naturals book, which I love to use, the the Adobe PDF CD is searchable and I love to quickly find out all the entries for, say, enfleurage or boronia or Madagascar or methyl eugenol. Sometimes I copy bits of the information and paste it into a document for an offline reference as part of a journal entry, for example.
BTW, since it is so pricey, I copied the disc onto my harddrive, and I keep the CD in my bank safe deposit box - a good idea for the winners.
This is truly the chance of a lifetime, and I wish everyone good luck!
PS: there is a special on Guild membership through the end of December - 20% off membership fee. I'll blog about that following this post or in the meantime you can visit the Natural Perfumers Guild website to read more about us.
PPS: don't forget that Allured is offering a 20% discount on any of their books through December 31st - just use the code anyaperfume at checkout (one word, no spaces or hyphens.) Feed free to spread the word on this to all the perfume groups, forums and blogs you may frequent.
PPPS: the winner will be chosen by random.org

Arctander book is THE ONE I still do not have although I have been dreaming of treating myself with it one day...
Maybe it is my opportunity to finally be able to get it and nurture it...

Hi, Anya! I'm in the Yahoo Natural Perfumery group! Thanks to the Guild for all it has done to improve the status of natural perfumes in the eyes of the world, and for the generous amount of info Guild members make available to folks just starting out, via the Yahoo group.

I've finally decided to follow my passion, and dive into perfume! If only literally.....!
The Guild and its members are inspiring and makes me want to learn and develop wondrous blends. A trip to Grasse was less than expected, as I feel the craftsmanship had waned. The Guild has a soul for authenticity which is captivating, and aspirational. Thank you for your diligence! Please enter my name in your drawing!!
A resource nonpareil..
Please enter me as a Guild member...
This is a fantastic offer. I already have one of Arctander's volume and it is a great resource. Please enter my name into the drawing. Thanks for arranging this Anya!

Saskia, Belgium
Growing up with 3 older sisters, I have been buying perfume, soaps, etc. every Christmas for the past 20 years. Recently, my oldest sister had a beautiful little girl. In the process she became very conscious of synthetics and acquired different body chemistry. She liked the perfumed gifts the most. I'm at a loss for gifts this year, so I hope that this will help for next year. Merry Christmas.
Anya and Allured Publishing,
Many thanks for this truly gifted opportunity. Owning this, THE Arctander 3 CD set, just blows me away.
As usual, if gifted, I have to pass something truly special on.
I wish the best to all, here, who make Natural Perfumery possible.
Most Sincerely,
Annie
What a generous drawing! Please enter me in the one for the general public.
