These books are brief, to-the-point, easy-to-follow, practical, step-by-step texts that will help you create your own perfume using the same methods and sources that we use. These books reveal our "trade secrets" and how we are able to make perfume of excellent quality that we can sell with pride — without investing tens of thousands of dollars and without having to hire a master perfumer.
If you are looking for an advanced text on perfume making that takes you through organic chemistry and the more than 3,000 natural and synthetic ingredients available for use in today's perfumes, these books will not help you!
If you are interested in starting your own perfume business with your own perfume — and want to be able to produce a commercially viable product without investing $200,000 or more — these books are exactly what you need.
- "Creating Your Own Perfume With A 1700 Percent Markup!" — Second Edition (2007)
How much money must a company spend to launch its own perfume? $10 million? $100,000? Or perhaps just $2,000 if, like the company interviewed for this book, you "do it yourself" and become involved in dealing with each of the necessary vendors, supervising the entire development and production process and even, in some cases, having some steps executed in your own plant or office — reducing your expenses to a manufacturer's cost ... a cost that can be just a fraction of "wholesale". The original text was published in 2001 and it described, step-by-step, how a company which had never sold a fragrance before was able to "create" its own fragrance, bottle it, label it and sell it successfully at a 1700 percent markup. All vendors are named. No information is held back. All of the original text is included, unchanged, in this (2007) Second Edition. What has been added — to double the size of the original book — is a section called The Ten Million Dollar Launch, which explains why it is so expensive for a major fragrance marketer to launch a new fragrance, and the dangers of trying to ape this model. Also included in the Second Edition is a new section detailed much information on creating a new perfume that has been gained by the author between 2001 and 2007. Currently there is no other book anywhere that gives the individual or small business such an intimate and practical exposure to the process of creating and manufacturing a commercially viable perfume on a very modest budget. Buyers of the book also receive a full size, 1-ounce sample of a fragrance created using the methods described in the book. Buyers also receive a 90-day trial membership in the Perfume Maker's Club.

If you want to create perfumes, soaps and other scented products using only natural materials, "e;The Art of Perfumery"e; by G.W. Septimus Piesse is an excellent starting point.

In addition to perfume and soap, Piesse also gives instructions for making a wide variety of other health and beauty products — all by using only natural materials. Published in 1857, this out of print book is the classic text on using natural materials in perfumery. The complete text is now available for free download in pdf format to members of the Perfume Maker's Club.

- "How To Launch Your Own Perfume Company : A Simple Business Plan"
The perfume creator is the focus of the business described by this simple but dramatic plan for developing a profitable perfume making business. The business described is built upon the skills of three people: the perfume creator, the sales person, and an administrator. While various marketing strategies are considered, the plan quickly narrows down to a single business model with a minimum initial cash requirement and, in most cases, no need at the beginning for outside financing. Yet, for a motivated, qualified, well-focused and well-bonded team, this plan offers maximum growth potential. Financial risk and cash flow potential are evaluated by pre-launch testing. This plan can be implemented as a full-time or part-time business.
