Fragrance Duplication FAQ

Perfumarie Duplication & Development Overview

We love helping clients bring their creative visions to life through scent, storytelling, and design. Below you’ll find an overview of how our bespoke development process works.

1. Getting Started

To begin, please complete our Creative Brief Form. This helps us understand your goals, intended use, and expectations so we can tailor our recommendations and next steps.

2. Scope & Pricing

  • GC-MS analysis and formula recreation service start at $2,500.

  • Includes evaluation and up to three rounds of refinement to align with perception, positioning, and performance.

  • We specialize in fragrances for personal care, candles, air care, scented stationery, innovation delivery systems, and fine fragrance. Formulas can be customized for a specific application (e.g., perfume or candle). Additional lab fees may apply for compatibility and toxicity analysis.

  • As a bespoke service, you may set a target budget upfront to guide development.

3. Manufacturing & Minimums

  • Final fragrance oils are produced by partner labs, with licensed chemists signing off for regulatory and liability compliance.
  • Minimum order: 10 kg (approximately 10,000 mL) of finished oil. The cost of compounding, filling, labor, kitting, shipping, and final product is not included in the development cost.
  • A sample for evaluation can be provided before full production.
  • All formulas remain proprietary and are eligible for reorder through Perfumarie.
  • Renewable exclusivity applies for up to two years, provided a minimum order is placed within that timeframe.

4. Timelines

Estimated turnaround is 8–15 weeks from sample receipt, depending on project complexity and lab scheduling.

5. Returns

Unused portions of samples are not returnable.

6. Next Steps

Once we receive your completed brief, our team will review your submission to confirm scope, timeline, and fit. If aligned, we’ll issue a formal contract to begin development.

We look forward to creating something beautiful together.
