The Process

We manage the fragrance development process right from the briefing stage to evaluating submissions and guiding towards a finalized formulation. These fragrances are worked over the course of a few months and aren’t created within a workshop format but we include our clients into the process as much as possible – it is, after all, a fragrance custom made for you and your brand.

This includes:

  • Discussing and refining your fragrance concept
  • In-depth research about your requirements
  • Creation of Fragrance Brief
  • Presentation of suggested materials and its benefits / effects (especially for natural formulations)
  • Bespoke fragrance development
  • Feedback to perfumer of changes to make to the fragrance
  • Fragrance range evaluation / olfactive mapping for future product developments
  • Technical and regulatory documents for your bespoke fragrance.

The fragrance developed exclusively for brands and businesses are private labels and not attached to the BC Fragrance brand when a Non-Disclosure Agreement in present.

Here’s a sample timeline (timeline depends a number of factors including complexity of the project, time it needs to source specific raw materials for the project (if not available), feedback period for the client, and more. We have worked on projects ranging from 1 month to 2 years.

Note:
This is a fragrance development service which means we don’t get involved in any design work such as packaging and branding and will only work with you on the fragrance itself. We can, however, suggest designers you can approach depending on your design concept. We also have access to trusted and experienced personal care / household products manufacturers to produce your finished products for you, should you require their services. Minimum Order Quantities (MOQ) vary depending on the manufacturer.
