When a brand contacts a perfume manufacturer, it’s usually in one of two situations: “I have an idea but no product” or “I have a product but I need a workshop”. The first is private label, the second is contract manufacturing. Let’s look closer.
Private label: we create your perfume from A to Z
You have a brand, a world, an olfactory direction — but no formula, no bottle, no regulatory file. With private label, we take care of everything:
- The juice: developed with our partner fragrance houses from your brief. The formula is contractually exclusive to your brand.
- The packaging: bottle (personalised from our stock or custom), cap, pump, label, carton or gift box.
- Regulatory: testing, product file, CPNP notification for the European market.
- Production: filling, crimping, labelling, final packing.
You approve every step on samples and receive a finished product, ready to sell. It’s the route for brand founders, niche houses launching, and retailers who want their own line.
Contract manufacturing: your formulas, our workshops
You are an established house, you own your formulas or concentrates — you need a reliable industrial partner. With contract manufacturing, we carry out:
- Blending and maceration in stainless steel tanks, respecting each fragrance’s resting time
- Filtration and chilling
- Filling, crimping, labelling, cellophaning, boxing
- Filling only, if your juice is already blended
Your formula remains yours and we don’t touch it: we produce it with precision and consistency, batch after batch, in our workshops operating under the ISO 22716 standard. It’s the route for houses outsourcing their production, brands relocating manufacturing to France, and creators scaling up.
Questions to ask yourself to decide
- Do you have a formula? No → private label. Yes → contract manufacturing.
- Do you want to own the exclusivity of a juice created for you? That’s the heart of private label.
- Are you looking for a creator-integrator or an industrial executor? Private label is end-to-end support; contract manufacturing is a production service.
What about hybrid situations?
They exist, and they’re common: a brand with its own concentrate that wants our help with the bottle and regulatory work, or a house that entrusts us with manufacturing its existing range and the private label of its next collection. Both trades live in the same workshops — tell us about your actual situation and we’ll build the support around it.
