Develop Your Own Perfume To Sell
Do it yourself or let us do it for you but first please read this page carefully.
Perfume offers opportunities for people and organizations with budgets ranging from a low of a few hundred dollars on up to one hundred thousand dollars or more. It all depends on the requirements of your project and, sometimes, on how much of the work you are willing to do yourself.
The basic proposition that brought me into the perfume business was the discovery that an individual or small company can create their own perfume on a small scale at a very low cost with a very good markup — if you are willing to roll up their sleeves and do the assembly work yourself.
The "do it yourself" manuals and guides available to you on the Fragrance Development & Marketing Guides page of this website are appropriate for producing batches of up to 1,000 bottles of perfume or cologne at a time, on a desktop, so to speak.
The fragrance and the packaging are largely up to you and your creativity. But you don't have to be a chemist or trained perfumer to do it. You simply must be willing to do the "by hand," assembly work — work that you might otherwise contract out to professionals and professional services who will charge you accordingly.
Is this a practical way to create enough perfume to start a business or for a profitable market test? If you have the market, these manuals and guides will show you how to assemble the fragrance you need, packaged and ready to sell. It is not difficult but, I'll say this once again, you must be willing to do the assembly work yourself (just as I did) to get those first bottles of perfume made at the lowest cost possible.
You will find the manuals and guides you need here.
For those seeking to pass off a complete fragrance development project, from initial concept to packaged fragrance, we are prepared to offer full assistance.
Before considering this option you should assure yourself that you have a market for your fragrance. Selling the fragrance will be your responsibility.
You should also be sure that you have available funds both to produce your fragrance and to market it before giving the go-ahead to a perfume project.
Making use of our services to develop your fragrance will, initially, multiply your cost per bottle over what it would be if you did the assembly work yourself. Your advantage will be a slightly more contemporary look and a slightly more professional job than you are likely to achieve when doing the assembly work yourself.

In the complex world of fragrance development and marketing, having good ideas and intelligence can make the difference between success and failure, between mediocre or dynamic sales, between getting a profitable perfume business up and running or wondering why you ever went to the expense of developing your own perfume.
The Perfume Maker's Club offers a wealth of resources for independent perfume makers and marketers who are not plugged in, industry insiders. The "members only" pages are rich with sources of professional supplies and services, listings of important monthly trade publications, technical publications and guides that are free for you to download and, most important of all, the Perfume Maker's Club Newsletter, our monthly Club publication. You have full access to all back issues (going back to November, 2004) and you will receive new issues monthly, just as long as you maintain your membership.
The Newsletter, which comes to you by email, is highly valued. In addition to notes about the industry, large perfume companies, and small fragrance creators, in depth articles give insights into what others have done or are doing and how their strategies could be useful to you. Also covered are technical issues such as developing a custom bottle, naming a fragrance, trademark protection, distribution, and developing your own market niche.
Standard billing for Club membership is $29.95 per three month period. New members receive their first 3-months membership (and three Club newsletters) for just $21.95 with no obligation to continue. If the Club doesn't put you ahead, you can end it right there. But new members commonly remain with us for years.
The Perfume Maker's Club is hosted by our sister website, Bio-Byte.com. Follow this link to join ... or for more information.
