Dear NPA Community,
Here in Ireland, as the summer days draw to a close, we are taking a moment to connect with you, our cherished NPA family. Whether you’re a current student, a proud graduate, or a long-time supporter, you’ve played an essential role in our journey, and we’re incredibly grateful for your loyalty and dedication.
Celebrating 16 Years of Excellence!
It’s hard to believe, but this August marks the 16th anniversary of the Natural Perfume Academy! Since we first opened our virtual doors in 2008, we’ve been on an incredible journey together, crafting beautiful natural botanical perfumes, sharing knowledge, and building a vibrant community that spans the globe. As we approach this milestone, we’re reflecting on all the wonderful experiences we’ve shared and looking forward to many more.
NPA Sweet Sixteen: 2008-08-28
Ireland is famous for its traditions, and as we celebrate our "Sweet Sixteen," we're thinking about how to put a uniquely Irish twist on it. Do you have any ideas on how we should celebrate? Perhaps a special "Sweet Perfume" contest? Or a community event that brings us all together? We’d love to hear your thoughts!
Financial Challenges and Our Commitment
We know these are tough times economically for everyone, and the Natural Perfume Academy is feeling the pinch too. But let’s be clear: we’re not here to talk about struggle, but rather, about resilience and community. For 16 years, we’ve weathered ups and downs, and we’ve done so because of the incredible support from people like you. Your passion for natural perfumery is the heart of NPA, and we’re committed to continuing our mission to provide the highest quality education, even in challenging times.
A Special Offer to Keep Us All Afloat – Ending August 31st
To help navigate these economic challenges, we launched our Inflation Buster Perfumery Summer School Special—50% off all courses. This unprecedented offer ends on August 31st, and it’s a rare opportunity to dive deeper into your passion for perfumery at a fraction of the cost.
A Note to Our Valued Students and Graduates:
We understand that some of you may have already paid full price for your courses, and we want to acknowledge the investment you’ve made in your education. Please know that this offer is about ensuring the NPA’s future, so we can continue to serve you and all our members with the excellence you’ve come to expect.
Last Call for NPA Press Contributions!
This is also a final reminder for submissions to our upcoming NPA Press publication. Whether it’s an article, a perfume recipe, or a creative piece, your contribution helps us showcase the amazing talent within our community. We’ve tried to keep our emails spaced out to respect your inbox, but this one’s important—don’t miss the chance to be part of something special!
Exciting Developments on the Horizon!
Stay tuned, because we have two big developments in the works that we can’t wait to share with you. These are projects designed to bring even more value and excitement to your NPA experience, so keep an eye on your inbox!
Let’s Make the Most of Our Sweet Sixteen
As we approach our official anniversary on August 28th, let’s come together to celebrate the journey we’ve all been a part of. Your support, your creativity, and your passion are what make the Natural Perfume Academy so special. We’re proud of everything we’ve accomplished together, and we’re excited about the future.
Thank you for being part of the NPA family. Here’s to many more years of creating, learning, and growing together.
