Suppliers of goods and services to the natural perfumery community are selected for the Guild based on the quality and unique offerings of their companies, and are also known for great customer service.
Our association is dedicated to professional excellence, and member products are reviewed by a committee before acceptance into the Guild. The review process will look at the structure of the perfume, the quality of natural aromatics, and the professional aesthetic of the product.
