Five stages,
brief to shipment
We spell out the process so you know at the first call what you need to provide and when you get what. The fastest projects go from confirmed brief to goods in warehouse in about 25 working days.
Deliverables and requirements at each step
Brief
Channel, target price, volume, packaging and compliance. You get: initial plan and price range.
1–2 daysScent
Select from the library or submit a brief. You get: fragrance proposal and formula direction.
3–7 daysSample
10 ml sample, bottle options, full quotation. You get: something you can actually smell and hold.
5–10 daysPackaging
Packaging ordered, artwork checked, filing documents. You get: approved label and carton proofs.
7–15 daysProduction
Filling, inspection, cartoning, dispatch. You get: goods, test reports, retained samples.
10–20 daysThe rules at sampling stage
Sampling causes most misunderstandings, so here are the terms in advance.
| Item | Details |
|---|---|
| Sample format | 10 ml spray bottle with pump and simple label |
| Sample cost | Stock numbers charged at sample and courier cost; bespoke development quoted separately |
| Lead time | 5–10 working days after brief confirmation; longer for complex formulas |
| Revisions | Two rounds of adjustment included (top-note strength, sweetness, longevity) |
| Credit | Sample cost fully credited against the production order |
| Formula ownership | Bespoke formulas belong to the client; never added to the stock library or reused |
Four things are enough for the first call
Use and channel
Own brand, live-stream e-commerce, regional distributor, export — each has very different packaging, compliance and cost requirements.
Target retail price
Retail price determines the cost structure. Give us the price and we work backwards to a feasible oil load and packaging tier.
Expected volume
First order and annual plan. The first order sets the MOQ route; the annual plan sets how we reserve oil and packaging.
Reference direction
No brand names needed. Describe the occasion and the feeling: sweeter, woodier, summer-appropriate, reminds you of a certain kind of space.
About the process
How fast can a project run?
With a stock scent, standard bottle and available packaging, about 25 working days from confirmed brief to goods in warehouse. Tooling, custom cartons or product filing extend that.
Can we visit before deciding?
Yes. The plant is in Shuikou, Huizhou. Give us one day's notice and we will arrange the workshop, the retention archive and samples on site.
What are the payment terms?
Typically a deposit on order and the balance before dispatch, with the exact split agreed against order value and packaging investment, written into the contract.
Can we change the formula after ordering?
Not once production is scheduled — the formula is locked and a change means re-scheduling. That is why formula sign-off happens at sampling, and production only controls batch consistency.
The first step is one sentence
"A 30 ml perfume, target retail 29 USD, first order 3,000 units" — that is enough for us to respond with a plan.
