Today I went by the post office to pick up my samples from the recent Natural Perfumers Guild's Outlaw Perfumes Project. The sets were put together by Carol at WaftbyCarol (thanks Carol). As usual I opened the package and sniffed each sample before leaving the parking lot. I was anxious to try them so I randomly selected a vial and dabbed on the liquid loveliness. I am currently wearing Belle Star by Lisa Fong of Artemisia Perfume. I'll post more on it in a few days. In the meantime if you haven't checked out the earlier reviews the bloggers' links are posted here.

'I'm as mad as hell, and I'm not going to take this anymore!'
The Natural Perfumers Guild is at it again. The latest NPG collective project was announced today. So what's this project all about? Outlaw Perfumes! NPG perfumers have blended compositions using natural essences that are on the list of restricted or banned aromatics issued by International Fragrance Association (IFRA). Check out the links below as participating bloggers will explain more.

'I'm as mad as hell, and I'm not going to take this anymore!'
This movie quote came to mind when I read about the next project announced today by the Natural Perfumers Guild. Yes, NPG is at it again. If you recall back in June-July perfumers of the NPG participated in a collective effort based on natural musk. I was lucky enough to have been able to participate as an evaluator/blogger. This time around I'm not evaluating but excitedly awaiting the reviews by other bloggers. This next NPG group project is all about taking a stand against the strict regulations imposed by IFRA & laws by EU. Many aromatics have been restricted or prohibited based on what may happen. Yes, there are some who are sensitive to certain natural essences but that doesn't mean everyone is or even will be at some point in the future. NPG stands behind the idea that a warning label is good enough to give consumers the choice to wear or not wear a natural perfume. I like this idea as well. What can I say? I'm a label reader anyway. To keep from going on a tangent about this subject I suggest you visit the links on the sidebar of articles written more eloquently than I could attempt.
