Student Testimonials
As
a member of the inaugural online Natural Perfumery Class offered by
Anya I have had the great pleasure of being part of a tremendous
learning process in a growing field. Anya is a gifted teacher who has
obviously given much thought to the structure and method of teaching
this class. She cares about the students and is receptive to their
needs. We are all benefiting from her great store of knowledge and her
ability to impart that in a thoughtful and meaningful manner. Anya
takes you through the perfuming process thoroughly from learning the
scents of the oils in the kit through how they blend together to,
finally, making a perfume. By the time you get to the perfume making
you have an excellent grounding in both theory and practice. I highly
recommend the class! Elise Pearlstine, Tambela Aromatherapy, USA

BASIC NATURAL PERFUMERY COURSE
Enrollment for March 2009 is closed.
Class size is limited to 20 so that each student may receive individualized attention
Note:
We will use only natural aromatics in the course, but the principles
and practices will be applicable to all forms of perfumery.
+
Study and learn in a friendly, interactive forum. The powerful,
database-driven website is built on the Moodle template, and is used
worldwide for university-level teaching. It is an intuitive and
interactive site, complete with chat rooms, study forums, links, and
much more. The course will be conducted for one year, with different,
progressive modules introduced each month.
| Tuition is only $1400 for the year and includes:
+ A Natural Perfumery Primer, authored by the course teacher Anya McCoy, President of the Natural Perfumers Guild.
+ Nine study modules online. They will supplement and expand upon the Primer, and accompanying lectures will illustrate the fine points of the course elements. |
+ Extensive additional study materials include evaluation forms, individualized Q&A sessions with industry professionals and much more.
+ A standardized study kit of 25 natural aromatics, pipettes and scent strips.

+ Students will be studying an intensive, hands-on, dynamic approach to
natural perfumery. Thirty years experience in evaluation, blending,
studio tips and techniques will be shared by Anya, and this will
greatly add to the student's learning curve, cutting years of
experimentation down to one year.
You
can pay via bank account or credit card with PayPal. All deposits and
tuitions are non-refundable.
This
course is for the serious student who wishes to avoid costly mistakes,
and who realizes that just studying books is not the way to learn
perfumery. Guidance from a professional perfumer can save time, money,
and polish your skills base for the next level of your career.

Student Testimonials
"I
really think the live classes are the 'heart' of this course; they give
a sense of reality to the work, sharing with other people in real
time." Lara Colorado, Spain
The
lectures are very nice to listen to and very informative, and the live
classes, where you can talk with other students and Anya, ask your
questions and work together, are one of the most fun aspects to me. Saskia Van Besauw, Aromatherapist, Belgium
"It really is impressive how much information is there for us and I'm really learning with our class." Susan Stype, Certified Aromatherapist, Arlys Naturals, USA
Anya's
natural perfumery course is a worthwhile investment for a wide range of
students, from those with no prior experience to those who have
significant blending behind them but have an interest in advancing
their skills.
In particular,
the lectures and accompanying self-managed exercises provide even
experienced students with tools for more systematically building their
scent memory, getting to really know the synergies between aromatics,
and leveraging that knowledge to design perfumes with more certainty in
the expected outcome. Sharon Schetelick, aromatherapist, USA
