Perfumer Anya McCoy

President and Owner
Natural Perfumers Guild

Anya McCoy is an acclaimed professional natural perfumer with 15+ years of creative and business expertise in the art. Anya originally offered the line “Anya’s Tropical Essences” on South Beach, Miami in the early 1990’s.

A bit about me: my studies at the university for degrees in ethnobotany and landscape architecture always involved fragrant plants, a lifelong passion of mine. Knowing the secrets of the plants, from the cellular level, to the entire growth cycle, unlocked those mysteries. I am self-taught in the style of French classical perfumery, and have knowledge of Middle Eastern and Indian perfumery techniques.

I follow the seasons of flowers so that I can create exquisite, unique additions for my perfumes. I accomplish this by tincturing the many rare and usually unavailable-to-the-trade fragrant plants in my garden at my home, Casa Jasmin.

I am devoted to using only natural aromatics. Their study and use is a lifelong passion, and the many secrets and surprises they hold in their fragrant veil is my life's work. I am very happy to share these creations with you, the lover of fine perfumes made naturally with an artisan's care and devotion to beauty.
