*Independent perfumers are not members of IFRA, but if they are in the EU, they have to abide by the rules. Independent perfumers are also aware of safety issue due to photosensitization, sensitization and irritation, et al.

 

Michelyn Camen, Editor-in-Chief

 

Editor's Note: Natural doesn't mean hypo-allergenic. Always test a natural fragrance before use, just as you would a blended scent.

Elena Vosnaki announced the concept of fragrances bypassing the IFRA restrictions on her site Perfume Shrine on Friday November 12th.

  • Michelyn, Ida, Monica and Mark – I can't wait to read your creative, insightful commentaries.  Thanks so much for your support and encouragement.

  • Personally I think it has more to do with trying to once again edge the "Little Man" out of the business field to leave more room for the multi national corps to get ALL of the $$$

    Who would benefit the most if these regulations are put into place?

    Always FOLLOW the MONEY$$$

    This is similar to the "Organic" label required to say that you grow organic. Who can afford to pay the $5K for that labeling?

    Follow the MONEY$$$

    Another instance of this is the new rfid tagging proposed for livestock, ALL livestock. Who can afford to pay for each animal to be microchipped?

    FOLLOW THE MONEY$$$

  • I really enjoyed following the Mystery of Musk project (and won some wonderful giveaways because of it), so I was excited to learn the Guild was starting a new project and curious about the new theme. And boy, they didn't disappoint. GREAT IDEA!
