Production services
What we manufacture, and the commercial frame each format carries.
- Contract manufacturing fragrances
- Where contract manufacturing ends and brand duty begins. Covers the split of responsibility between manufacturer, brand and importer, what documentation transfers with a batch, and why storage and in-market distribution are arranged by the brand rather than by us.
- Private label perfume manufacturing
- The full production chain under your own label: fragrance selection or development, bottle and closure sourcing, compatibility testing, filling, quality release and export preparation. Start here if you are comparing manufacturers rather than a specific product.
- Perfume manufacturing
- Eau de parfum and eau de toilette production in 30, 50 and 100 ml. Minimum order is 1,000 units per fragrance and per bottle model. Alcohol-based perfume travels as dangerous goods under UN 1266, which affects shipping mode and cost.
- Cologne contract manufacturing
- Traditional and contemporary cologne, in glass or plastic. The minimum differs by vessel: 1,000 units for glass, 2,000 for plastic. Alcohol content and pack size decide the transport classification.
- Room fragrance
- Room fragrance and room spray for retail and hospitality. Room fragrance starts at 1,000 units per scent; room spray at 500. Vessel choice drives both the unit cost and the packaging decision.
- Scented candle manufacturing
- Container candles at 500 units per fragrance and per vessel. Wax system, fragrance load and wick are selected together — changing one changes burn behaviour, so they are approved as a set.
- All products
- Every format in one list with its minimum order quantity, so you can see where a multi-product range lands before asking for a quotation. Minimums are per fragrance and per bottle model, and cannot be split across them.
Destination markets
Manufacturing location does not move market-access duty. These pages cover what the destination market requires.
- Launch in the United States
- MoCRA duties for a US launch: facility registration, product listing, responsible person and adverse event reporting. These recur — facility registrations renew every two years and listing information is updated annually.
- Launch in the United Kingdom
- Great Britain needs a UK Responsible Person, an SCPN notification and GB-specific labelling. An EU notification does not carry over; the two regimes are notified separately.
- Launch in the European Union
- An EU-established Responsible Person, a safety assessment, a product information file and a CPNP notification. Who holds the Responsible Person role decides who carries the legal duty, so it is agreed before artwork is printed.
- Hotel fragrance supplier
- Signature scent programmes for hotels and hospitality groups: amenity formats, room fragrance and reorder planning across properties. Consistency between reorders matters more here than in retail.
Cost and commercial planning
What a quotation has to cover before you can compare two manufacturers honestly.
- Perfume brand startup costs
- The cost lines a first production run actually carries: fragrance, bottle, closure, decoration, packaging, filling, compliance work and freight. Written so you can read a quotation line by line instead of comparing a single headline figure.
- Cost and minimum order quantity
- Why minimums exist and how they behave across a range. A minimum applies per fragrance and per bottle model: three bottle models are three separate minimums, not one shared quantity.
Reference
Terminology that comes up in specifications and quotations.
- Perfume glossary
- Fragrance and manufacturing terms defined for procurement, not for enthusiasts — the words that appear in a specification sheet, a quotation or a compliance document.
- EDP, EDT and concentration
- What separates eau de parfum from eau de toilette, how concentration is expressed commercially, and why the same fragrance quoted at two concentrations gives two different unit costs.
- Dry down
- The final stage of a fragrance on skin, and why it is assessed on a wear test over hours rather than on a first impression from a blotter.
- Oud
- Oud as a material and as a commercial category: natural versus reconstituted, how it affects cost, and why it is specified precisely rather than by name alone.
Not covered here
Manufacturing origin is not treated as a separate subject here. Where the product is filled affects lead time, freight and customs, so it is covered inside the three destination-market pages as a supply-chain matter rather than as a claim in its own right. Market-access duty is set by where a product is sold, not by where it is made.

If the page you need is not listed, send the question directly. A brief with destination market, product format and quantity is enough to route it.
