ABOUT
​
The American Society of Perfumers, Inc. (ASP) is a non-profit organization founded in 1947.
Our current membership is approximately three hundred professional perfumers, all based in
the U.S.
At the ASP, our primary goal is to uphold the high standards of professional perfumery in the
U.S. while representing our members internationally. By supporting our members through
apprenticeships and networking events, we ensure the continuation of the traditions of classical
perfumery.
We host annual meetings and sponsor events in order to promote public engagement with the
fragrance industry in the U.S.
Our active role in the World Perfumery Congress, a bi-annual international networking and
educational event, connects the ASP’s members and our ideas with the global fragrance
community.
THE ASP PERFUMER
Dedicated Diverse Professional
​
Our membership represents a diverse array of professional perfumers. With varying
backgrounds and interests, we share a commitment and commonality of skills that brings us
together.
Having spent years experimenting with thousands of raw materials including essential oils,
aromatic chemicals, natural isolates, gums, and resins, our professional perfumer-members
have developed a unique and highly specialized craft that combines art and science to deliver a
fragrance that’s ready to use in any application.
Due to our working knowledge of the regulatory issues that impact our industry, our members
formulate safe and compliant fragrances for all applications to meet global demands.
Through years of laborious training and dedication and commitment to craftsmanship, our
perfumers are accomplished professionals in one or more specialized perfumery categories:
personal care, air care, household, or fine fragrance (click on category for more info.)
ASP members touch nearly every consumer in the U.S. through our fragrance creations. You
will find the fruits of our labor in the scented products you use every day, from fine fragrance to
shampoo to laundry detergent.
