I searched along time to find and connect to a course and vision that rang to my ears.I found that on Mandys old website and it was a treasure to travel from New Zealand and complete two workshops with her enthusiasm, humour and visions. I love the new website set up,it is dynamic and fun to explore with all the knowledge and I ABSOLUTELY know with confidence that when I purchase her oils they are excellent quality.The new website oozes excellent explanations of products

As a student of Mandys' I feel really privileged to be apart of her class.I followed her site and others for 3 years before choosing my tutor. I love the intuitive style Mandy offers and enjoy the inspiration from the articles and interviews I can read from the website. The new look had certainly expanded on the previous one and is full of wonderful deliciously inspired information.

Mandy Aftel is my Hero in alchemy! I just missed meeting her by 5 minutes last year in Berkley. Arghhhh! I am on her site frequently because I want to purchase a fragrance to layer with my Aftel Jasmine solid. It really is the perfect Jasmine Soliflore, however, I want to give it a deeper base.
Her new site is certainly an improvement. The store front is easy to navigate and the vintage postcards are charming-great Job. I also just joined her facebook page.

Mandy's art has impacted me through the beauty of her book, the amazing delight of taking a workshop with her at Esalen and getting to blend a liquid and a solid and especially through the beauty of the perfumes – Orchid is my dream perfume! I love, love, love the new website because it matches the beauty she creates in perfume!

As a contributing editor to Ca Fleure Bon, I'm delighted to be celebrating the newly designed website of this trailblazer and master perfumer. The site is just exquisite in choice of colors, paintings, layout, composition, and of course, that very lush product line of Mandy's. It is a feast for the eye. Congratulations, Mandy and many thanks, Michelyn, for this fine article and rewind.

Oh MY!! This is incredible. I am sitting here and reading all this and am so very moved. Thank you all of you for support of my work and my books and my vision. This means so much to me.
I have an incredible collection of artifacts that show that every step of the process of perfumery is filled with beauty and I am so glad to have some of them up on my website for all of you to see. it is these layers of history that I find so personal and universal.
Thank each of you.
Mandy
