Natural Botanical Perfume - aromatic art surpassed only by the flora from which it sourced! This group provides a forum for the discussion and creative exploration of all aspects of botanical and natural perfumery. From the selection and extraction of raw materials, to the process of creation, to the finished product and everything along the way, this list celebrates botanical perfumery.

While limited opportunity to post ads for related products and services will be provided, the primary focus of this group is NOT commercial in nature.

A diversity of expressed opinions regarding materials and techniques is highly encouraged provided discussion of these topics remains constructive and respectful, and does not descend into flame wars and ad hominem attacks.

So – whether you are a professional perfumer, an aromatherapist, an alchemist/meta-physician, (or aspire to any of these) - a producer of spa/ body-care products, or a purveyor of raw materials – your presence and participation are welcome. I hope this group will provide the opportunity for you to hone your skills and refine your art!
