I find that with my attention span if there isn’t a set deadline I flounder about and never accomplish anything, but given the schedule of my life I would prefer the opt in
I love the cover! Just beautiful. I’d prefer the opt in anytime option to study at my own pace. I’ve been making botanical perfumes for almost 2 years, so am a beginner. But I’m motivated and so going at my own pace would work best for me.
I would prefer a beginning start date to end timeline. To keep on task and continue along every day or the once a week class. Thanks for this exciting offer!
Anya, I love the new cover — it is happy and graceful and has a lot of clarity. Beautiful.
I would also love to be able to do your course, and have wanted this for years now. The financial demands of being a single mother have not allowed this. It would be my good fortune to win a course of independent study with you.
I prefer “opt in” because life happens and sometimes things are out
of our control. I recently experienced that first hand when My Partner
was in need of Major Surgery. I was in the Middle of classes & had to
stop – I’m back & thankfully had the opportunity to “opt in”.
I would agree with Tiffany, a finishing date would be a good idea!

I would prefer the opt-in option but with a set date to complete the course (ie one year). That way stay committed but at own pace. Sounds exciting with new textbook!!
I love the new cover design, it’s clear and colorful and elegant and really tells the story. As my schedule is irregular, with several time-takers affecting it, I would definitely prefer an “opt-in” arrangement. It would give me the chance to really learn the material, at my own speed. This is something I’ve wanted to do for a very long time. You have so much wonderful information to impart!
I would definitely prefer the Opt-in because Life happens. The new cover art is beautifully perfect, and I am on pins and needles waiting for the release of “Perfume From Your Garden!”
Love your new cover Anya,
I’ve been making perfumes for a while now and I like the way that I could opt-in at any time to partake in your course. With my current business commitments I have limited time and find it best to schedule one day a week or fortnight on my perfume making which includes study and exploring more about perfumery as I develop new fragrances to integrate it into my product ranges. This is a very slow method, but I find my learning is amplified with my need to develop this area of my business. I love being able to spend time on perfumery studies and look forward to the times when I can as I find it very relaxing as I am taken to other worlds. For me I see it is a long term ongoing study ever evolving during my lifetime.
I think a blend of the two might be a good idea: opt-in at any time, but have a specific amount of time to complete the course/work. This way it’s a flexible system that works in real life for people, but they are compelled to work on it and not let it slide.
The opt-in anytime option; it would be easier to sign in at any time and study at our own pace, because that would make part-time working and part-time studying a lot more convenient. : )

I would definitely prefer studying at my own pace and doing an opt-in anytime option. As a busy working mom who would LOVE to study perfumery, this would be the most peaceful and enjoyable way to go about it ~and be driven by natural passion and customized to the unqiue natural ebb and flow of my life.
I do love the cover and the concepts contained therein! I so look forward to the new book chocked full of wonderful information.
I like the idea of the anytime enrollment in studies as I’m never sure when or if I will be able to join (even though I would dearly love to yesterday). Love, love, love your blog and all the good shared information!!
Cheers,
anna
I think an opt-in signup where a student can start any time, but with a finish date. For example, a person can start when they want but must finish the course within six months.
I like the cover of the book but would change it to remove the border of flowers on the bottom and top. I think, move the flowers to cover the back of the book in such a way that any writing is clearly visible. On the front, the picture of the bottle should cover most of the area with the title on top and author’s name across the bottom. The inset with the bottle and beach scene is absolutely gorgeous.
I think I would prefer the opt-in anytime option, but with some sort of time limit as well. I would want to get it done within some kind of reasonable time frame, but the flexibility would be great with my hectic schedule.
I would prefer the opt-in anytime option. That way I can better manage my time toward learning.
Have been following your journey of this book-making on fb. I have a collection of 100 pages of information regarding perfume-making; not in a particular order, just copy/pasted. Every time I found something interesting on the method, ingredients, aromas etc I saved it. I hope, someday will be one of your students.
I spent 5 minutes looking @ the book cover, analyzing every detail. It is fascinating the way that is designed. The bottle- touching the land, the sea & reaching the sky. And the aroma mixed with the clouds. Very meaningful!!!
I would prefer an opt-in anytime option. I’ve got a lot going on in my life. Slow times are usually unanticipated. It would be great to have the option to join a course when I can!
Hi! I’m new here and unsure whether I have the right to an opinion, or if I could ever be a student, but if all of the above were true, I’d say definitely “anytime” option. And, your book cover is beautiful! Thank you!
For me, it works best to have definite starting and ending times for online courses, or else they tend to slip down my priority list and never get completed. That being said, it might be helpful to have several start dates with a small group of students starting each time, so that they can communicate with each other as they study and learn. Thanks for all the great information and pictures! ~Susan

Oh how lovely! I am on a journey through aromatherapy right now and am leaning towards perfumery. I would love to win a copy of your gorgeous book and the chance to be a student.
I do find that with studies – it is more beneficial to have organized groups that can relate to each other online, compare notes and assignments. I have found that helpful thus far on my educational journey!

OPT IN ANYTIME SIGN UP

I like “the opt in anytime” option, but having a definite closing date once the cours has started would keep people like me on track. Hope this helps!

Wow, that book cover is a knockout! I love that the beach stayed because one of the most sublime scents on earth is found there (by the lucky few).
All things being equal, I too, like so many others, would prefer OPT-IN.
Thanks for the drawing!

I think it would better to have definite start and end dates so that you can’t avoid keeping up with the modules of the course, like I have!

I would prefer the opt-in sign up. To me flexibility is key to learning the art of natural perfume construction. Thanks so much Anya. Fragrant hugs!
I would prefer an opt-in anytime option. There’s nothing sadder than finding out about a class just after the enrollment closed. 🙂

Was the winner announced?
I would vote for the opt in anytime if you were to incorporate some of your lessons using Skype.
