As many perfumers are asking this question, we want to clarify why we don't certify natural perfumers who use isolates.

After consultation with IPF Scientific Director Henk Meijerink, MSc and a Committee of well-respected Natural Perfumers, the International Perfume Foundation (IPF) has developed the following position on the use of fragrance Isolates:
​
A natural isolate is created by processing a compound to the point where there is only one single odour molecule present. 

In Natural Perfumery, we consider the whole botanical raw material. Its real power is in its wholeness and if we separate molecules from each others, it simply loses its beneficial power for humans.

On Certification Standards for Natural Perfumers IPF has to take the position of insuring 100% natural at all times, therefore, IPF accepted the recommendation of the IPF Certification Compliance Standards Committee that no isolates, neither natural nor synthetic are acceptable. 

On December 15th IPF launched the Certified Natural Perfumery Directory. This day has been declared International Natural Perfume Day!  Each year we will celebrate this day worldwide!

Natural Perfumery does not only involve retail products but also consumers' lifestyles and wellbeing.
We perfume lovers want to make sure our perfumes are really natural; that they do not include hazardous synthetics in their composition; and no disruptive genetic or carcinogenic molecules as well.
We want to make sure that perfumes are made by perfumers who are actual human beings: perfumers who we can meet, speak with and who understand our concerns towards sustainability. We also want our perfumes to be animal cruelty free!

We truly believe that it is important for our health to reconnect with nature and that replanting flowers and plants worldwide will be an important action for the environment, to the survival of bees and to the possibilities of giving work to many people on earth.  

Mark your calendars now for December 15, 2017: International Natural Perfume Day!.  

“Reconnect with Nature” is a campaign of awareness about the vital importance of our connection with nature.
Since antiquity, perfume has always accompanied people’s lives and has always been an important part of human history.
Today, our campaign gives Natural Perfume a voice towards more awareness of the human need to reconnect with nature, as well as to recover and to protect our precious heritage.

​Since the dawn of time, in every region of the world, people have been using plants for therapy.
They added plants to their food and their drink, they used them to make perfumes, cosmetics knowing the beneficial effects of each of them.
This precious and ancestral knowledge has been transmitted from generation to generation.
We can find it in cuneiform writings on Sumerian tablets around 1700BC. 
Prescriptions were found in the “Ebers Papyrus” dated 1552 BC, in Dioscoride’s “Materia Medica” dated 78 AC, in the ”Codex Aniciae Julianae” dated 512 AC, and later in Paracelse and Leonard Fuchs works (XVIth century).
In ancient times around the world, perfume was used not only for spiritual purposes but also as therapy for a variety of illnesses.
Ancient Egyptians said: “Who breathes the smells of flowers, breathes the soul of flowers.”
Early Spanish settlers in North America gave Native American spiritual leaders the name "perfumeros" because of their observations of the widespread use of fragrant plants and flowers as medicinal treatments of their people.

A Chinese proverb says  "A perfume is always a medicine"  and the "The Book of Medicine" includes hundreds of perfume compositions used in healthcare.  Therapeutic qualities of perfume depends on quality of plants and the world is rich in unknown plants to use.  Some indigenous inhabitants still remember.

The International Perfume Foundation is making an hommage to Anne Meter Seguin who left us last week.
For all collectors who knew Anne it is a big loss as she was so full of love, joy and happiness, and she will be missed.
For those who don’t know Anne, let me enlighten you.
Anne Meter Seguin (Anne d’Orleans) was a well known expert in perfume bottles.
Fascinated by the beauty of 1930 perfume presentations and specially by René Lalique, Anne has organised several perfume auctions and an important collector’s event in Chateau de Chamerolles in 1994: Parfums d’Automne.

Reenforcing the beauty and the important history of perfume, her activities significantly contributed to the protection of the World Heritage of perfume.  
Therefore, the International Perfume Foundation is giving her an hommage adding her name to the great spirits who gave countless contributions to our vision.
