$400 per reference

Close matches start with a GC-MS analysis of your reference. GC-MS (gas chromatography–mass spectrometry) is a lab test that separates a fragrance into its individual molecules and identifies each one. We build your formula from that profile, so the match is measured, not guessed.

03

How do you want it produced?

Production is quoted after your formula is approved. You can change this later.

Batches of 70 per bottle style (70, 140, 210 and up), split across your scents.

Your grade depends on the materials in your approved formula and is confirmed once it's approved. Most brands land in Signature.

We ship finished perfume within the US. Shipping is quoted separately based on your final order, or you can pick up at our studio in Union City, NJ.

Bottles, labels and packaging

Choose Bottled with us above to pick bottles, boxes and labels. You can still ask about custom bottles and caps below.

Pick your bottle, cap and box. Each bottle style is made in batches of 70 (70, 140, 210 and up). Scents in the same bottle share the batch, so three scents can start with about 23 to 24 bottles each. Bottling is a flat $440 per 140 bottles ($220 per case of 70, about $3.14 a bottle), covering filling, crimping, capping, labeling and boxing. Bottles, boxes and bottling are paid together as your production deposit.

$1.45 each, square or round, minimum 150. Clients and stockists can try the scent before buying a full bottle.

$6 each. Hold the bottle, cap and box before you commit to a full case.

Labels are oil, water and tear resistant, with a 100-label minimum. Full-color labels allow up to 4 designs per 100; gold foil allows 1 design per 100. We apply them as part of bottling.

Example: Atelier 50ml, black cap

FAQ
Questions before you start
How much does it cost?

Your scent experience starts at $350 for one licensed scent, and each added scent costs less ($250, $200, then $150). Finished 50ml bottles start at about $15 each, including the bottle, cap, label, box, fragrance and bottling. Build your exact quote above.

What's the difference between License, Brand Launch and Own the Formula?

License: we create your scent and license it exclusively to your brand; we keep the formula and produce it for you. Brand Launch: two or more licensed scents plus a sourcing pack and sourcing call. Own the Formula: the full formula with percentages, for brands that want to make the juice themselves.

How does development work?

It starts with a 1-hour video consultation. You receive 9 variations per scent as 10ml samples, with up to three 1-hour video check-ins across your project. Every scent comes with an IFRA Certificate of Conformity and an allergen disclosure.

What if I need more than 9 variations?

Extra variations are $20 each. Up to 3 extra per scent are on us when you own your formula or develop 4 or more scents.

What are the minimums?

70 bottles per bottle style, shared across your scents. Three scents in the same bottle can start at about 23 to 24 bottles each. Neat oil starts at 500g.

Can you match an existing fragrance?

Yes, with a reference match: $400 per reference. It starts with a GC-MS analysis, a lab test that identifies the molecules in the reference, and we build your formula from that profile.

How much is the fragrance itself?

You choose a material grade. For a 50ml eau de parfum: Studio about $5, Signature about $20 (most popular), Luxury about $40. By the kilo: about $270, $1,800 or $3,600. Your grade is confirmed once your formula is approved.

Do you supply bottles, labels and boxes?

Yes. Choose from our stock bottles and caps, full-color or gold foil labels, and plain or custom-printed boxes. Screen printing, embossing and custom caps cast in our studio are quoted per project. Bottle, cap and box samples are $6 each.

How do I pay?

The reservation fee for your scent experience is paid on Square before work starts. Production is paid as a deposit once your formula is approved. Custom work is non-refundable.

Do you ship?

Yes, within the US. Shipping is quoted separately based on your order, or you can pick up at our studio in Union City, NJ.

Are your fragrances IFRA compliant?

Yes. Every scent we make is IFRA compliant and comes with a Certificate of Conformity and allergen disclosure.
