INTERNATIONAL PERFUME FOUNDATION
The International Perfume Foundation is a unique organisation within the perfume industry, dedicated to promoting the preservation of the world perfume heritage.
Founded by Creezy Courtoy in 1995, IPF is an independent non-profit organisation without financial support from governments or industry.
When it comes to the world of natural perfumery and essential oils, certification by the International Perfume Foundation (IPF) holds significant importance.
The IPF has long been a proponent of the natural, emphasizing the connection between nature and human well-being. In an industry where many brands have merely adopted a natural façade, the IPF certification serves as a crucial distinction separating those who sell truly natural products from those pretending to.
Since its inception in 2013, the IPF certification has been instrumental in guiding consumers toward genuinely natural and ethical brands perfumers and perfumery schools worldwide.
Beyond just a stamp of approval, being certified by the IPF means being showcased on the Certification website page, providing consumers with easy access to perfumers' details, brand contacts, and logos. Moreover, the privilege of displaying the IPF and New Luxury Code logos on their own websites further solidifies a brand's commitment to authenticity, enabling consumers to readily identify those who eschew synthetics and uphold the standards of the New Luxury Code.
This visibility not only benefits the certified members but also empowers consumers to make informed choices, fostering a marketplace where true natural products are celebrated and distinguished from mere imitations.
