The public can now be assured that all Professional Perfumers on the Guild website use only 100% natural ingredients in their perfumes. To read the Guild Code, please visit https://naturalperfumers.com/code.htm
An international Guild committee was recently formed to review and revise the terms of the Code to make it more stringent in the definition of natural aromatics and natural perfumes, application requirements to join the Guild and other important factors that will allow us to be self-regulating in the eyes of governments. That will also allow the public to rest assured as to the naturalness of all of the Guild Professional Perfumers websites they visit. In the end, this path will surely and completely allow the Guild to define and enforce the definition of natural aromatics.
Summarily expelled? Was there a warning? Was she given a chance to bring her site into compliance? Was she allowed to present her side of the controversy to the judge/jury? Sounds like a kangaroo court to me.

Hi Alice:
No, not expelled. I don’t know where you got that idea. She was issued a suspension, and wrote us immediately that she would talk to us the next week. She then resigned without notice. In essence, she terminated her membership. She could have spoken with us, cleared up the website mixup, and been back in the Guild the same day. Hope this clears up your questions.
I got the idea from your original post:”On Friday August 12, 2011 the Guild review committee met and voted to terminate the membership of DSH Perfumes.”
