Starting a Perfume Business

Now is the time to dispel one of the greatest myths of all, that you need to be famous, knowledgeable and rich to create a fragrance. Moreover, you certainly do not need to be as famous as Jennifer Lopez, Antonio Banderas, Sarah Jessica Parker, Paris Hilton or Britney Spears to start your own perfume line.  

Sure, if a renowned celebrity created a fragrance, you can bet it would fly off the shelves, simply because it had her name on it. However, it is actually an exception to the rule.   

To become a successful fragrance maker, you just need to be yourself. Nothing more and nothing less. You don’t need to have a lot of money or hob-knob with the rich and famous set either. You don't even have to any background in chemistry or aromatherapy. Instead, all you need to do is spending some time concocting your scents.

If you don't have time for it, that's fine too. Fragrance and flavor laboratories around the world (mostly are based in Europe and USA) are ready to assist you. As long as you have an idea of how the final scent would smell like, that's sufficient. 

There are also contract manufacturers and private label manufacturers to help out with the rest of the production process. Just let them know how you want the fragrance to smell and sign the contract manufacturing agreement to start the process. 
Next, just sit back and relax while waiting for your fragrance to be blended and manufactured. They can even provide the bottle design and packaging.

In this eGuide, we disclose several trade secrets, which have been safely guarded by the industry until now:

• Top designer fragrances and where they have their fragrances formulated and manufactured (so you can have them produce yours)

• America and Europe-based contract manufacturers and private label manufacturers with offices in Asia and Africa (so you will find this eGuide useful regardless of where your business is located)

• Where to learn to become a "nose," which is the nickname for a professional perfumer (an entry-level "nose" earns at least $60,000 annually)

• Categories of fragrances (industry standard)

• Scents available for blending and safe blending ratios

• Awards for the world's best fragrances

As a fragrance maker, you can add your line to include:

Fine fragrance
Perfume
Perfume oil
Eau de parfum
Eau de toilette
Eau fraiche
Cologne
Aftershave
Body splash
Pheromone fragrance
Oil-based fragrance
Flowery fragrance
Aromatherapy
Lotion
Soap
Candle
Bath salt
Spa products

More and more everyday people are making their marks in making history in the fashion world. By having a perfume line, you’ve joined the rank of fashion product creators, such as those household brand names. You might have just started, but your business definitely has no growth limitations.

With only $1 to $5 per unit spent for production costs, you can earn more than 1,000% in profit if you sell it for a mere $30 to $50 a pop. Yet many perfumes are sold for more than $150. Can you calculate how much the creator earns?

Of course, there are also marketing and distribution costs involved, which can be significant. This eGuide does not cover this, because it is pretty lengthy. A separate eGuide encompassing this issue will be released shortly to reveal the marketing tactics used by those giant perfume creators.

Do you know?

• Beauty industry rakes in $32 billion annually with fragrances as the top sellers

• Home fragrances market is an $8.4 billion business

• Worldwide market demand increases 5% annually 

• A "master perfumer" can identify 1,500 to 2,000 smells by "nose"

• Starting out as a fragrance maker might sound intimidating because the competitors are those high-end designers and celebrities. However, since this business continues to grow at 5% annually, there will always be a place for a new fragrance creator.

Let that person be you, because there is no business like perfume business. Isn't it a great news to hear?

If you are a novice who wants to understand what it takes to become a fragrance maker and how to start a fragrance line without "getting your hands dirty," this is the eGuide (download eBook) for you. 

It is not, however, for those who already have a fragrance business. Due to its lengthy details, we will publish a separate eGuide on how to distribute and market your existing fragrance line at a later date.
