Currently Offering:

Entry-level, comprehensive and the foundation for advanced studies in perfumery.

Just added! A bonus module that will be launched when students complete their Interactive or Self-Paced coursework. This bonus module will give students a head start on the Intermediate Level of study.

The lectures are very nice to listen to and very informative, and the live classes, where you can talk with other students and Anya, ask your questions and work together, are one of the most fun aspects to me. Saskia Van Besauw, Aromatherapist, Belgium

"It really is impressive how much information is there for us and I'm really learning with our class." Susan Stype, Certified Aromatherapist, Arlys Naturals, USA

Anya's natural perfumery course is a worthwhile investment for a wide range of students, from those with no prior experience to those who have significant blending behind them but have an interest in advancing their skills.

In particular, the lectures and accompanying self-managed exercises provide even experienced students with tools for more systematically building their scent memory, getting to really know the synergies between aromatics, and leveraging that knowledge to design perfumes with more certainty in the expected outcome. Sharon Schetelick, aromatherapist, USA

+ There will be a Yahoo group that will function as a "study group" where the students can communicate daily. Students can also enjoy guest lecturers, online access to the teacher, phone access to the teacher if a Q&A session is missed, and much more.

Student Testimonials for

Anya's Garden Natural Perfumery Institute Course

As a member of the inaugural online Natural Perfumery Class offered by Anya I have had the great pleasure of being part of a tremendous learning process in a growing field. Anya is a gifted teacher who has obviously given much thought to the structure and method of teaching this class. She cares about the students and is receptive to their needs.

We are all benefiting from her great store of knowledge and her ability to impart that in a thoughtful and meaningful manner. Anya takes you through the perfuming process thoroughly from learning the scents of the oils in the kit through how they blend together to, finally, making a perfume. By the time you get to the perfume making you have an excellent grounding in both theory and practice. I highly recommend the class! Elise Pearlstine, Tambela Aromatherapy, USA

I studied with Anya (our list mom)and the course was fantastic, I highly recommend it if you want to get some great training and support making natural perfumes. Her course is a lot of work, and worth every penny you will spend, she is amazing as are her gorgeous perfumes! Natalie Beaulieu, Canada

I highly recommend to anyone to take this journey for a year with Anya. Anya is a wonderful, patient teacher that truly inspires her students to expand and explore. (thank you Anya). I feel inspired everyday to search out new oils, read about them and smell them and now this month we are learning to blend them together, creating accords.

I enjoy the process of meeting once a month with students from all of the world and sharing our scent experiences. A new world has certainly opened up for me. If you love being creative and the smells of nature you will love this class. Wendy Moore, Australia

"I really think the live classes are the 'heart' of this course; they give a sense of reality to the work, sharing with other people in real time." Lara Colorado, Spain

The Fall, 2007 perfume course was the first-ever online participatory, interactive effort in natural perfumery and is historic for setting the standard. Since 2007, three sessions of students have enrolled in the course, and there are dozens now certified for having completed the course successfully. These students would not have been able to receive such a dynamic, professional education in natural perfumery otherwise.
