1. Confirm the product brief
We start with the product you want to make, its customer and sales market, scent route, quantity, packaging and intended handover. Tell us what you already have: a formula, reference sample, preferred bottle, artwork, specification or an idea. We identify the development, sourcing and manufacturing work needed to prepare samples and a quotation.
Choose existing scent selection, reference matching or bespoke development. For a customer-led formula or specification, OEM/ODM manufacturing makes the inputs and responsibilities clear. Our R&D and production teams align the product base, application and packing direction early so decisions made during sampling can carry into manufacture.
Useful starting information is the product format, sales market, scent direction, estimated quantity per scent and packaging preference. Add your target launch window and any retailer, importer or carrier requirements. We use those details to explain the sampling route, quantity conditions and next decisions.
2. Evaluate and approve the sample
We select or develop samples for the intended product, carrier and application. Evaluate each named version against the brief: note the scent opening and dry-down, the product feel, appearance and any relevant dispensing or application observations. Consolidate feedback into what to retain and what to change so the next version has a clear target.
When you approve a version, we record its sample reference, formula or carrier direction and intended product. The approved reference becomes the basis for production preparation and later comparison. Sampling explains the development routes; quality control explains how we connect the reference with the product and packaging specification.
Samples and production use the same agreed application: moving a fragrance from perfume to body mist, oil or a care base creates a new formulation task. We review that application with you before treating it as another finished SKU.
3. Agree the production specification
| Part of the specification | What we confirm together |
|---|---|
| Formula and scent | Approved sample or formula version, carrier, concentration direction where relevant and product application |
| Quantity and fill | Quantity per scent or item, net fill and relevant mass, density and allowance assumptions |
| Components | Bottle, dispenser, closure, decoration, label and outer pack versions |
| Artwork | File version, placement, language, batch-code location and approval |
| Checks and documents | Inspection points, any additional tests, records and responsible parties |
| Handover | Bulk or finished product, packing, delivery destination and responsibilities |
We review packaging fit and artwork alongside the liquid. Bottle neck and dispenser fit, closure integrity, label placement and decoration all affect the finished product. If you change the bottle, dispenser, formula or fill, we review the connected specification before using the new combination in production.
Our usual perfume starting point is 30 kg of liquid per scent. Bottle and outer-pack minimums are checked separately, while other fragrance and personal care formats use their own quantity requirements. The MOQ page and packaging guide help you prepare these decisions.
4. Confirm the production arrangements
At our Guangzhou factory, we connect raw-material and packaging checks with processing, filling, assembly and finished-product inspection. Our team confirms the first production pieces before the batch continues and checks the work through the run. We keep the approved references, quantities, component versions and production records connected to the order.
Before scheduling, we agree which manufacturing and packaging work is included, any customer-supplied items and the points needing your approval. Where a specialist component or additional test involves another provider, its specification, timing and responsibility are identified in the project plan.
We confirm the production schedule against approved samples, available components, artwork and the agreed testing scope. If a document or component needs further action, we name the item and resolve its effect on the next step. Changes are recorded against a version so the team and your brand work to the same instructions.
5. Prepare the agreed handover
We reconcile the ordered product version, quantities, bulk containers or finished packs, agreed documents and destination details before handover. The packing specification connects the product and batch references with labels, cartons and the protection needed for the selected delivery route.
We agree who arranges collection or carriage, who receives the goods and who handles the relevant import work. Alcohol-based perfume, oil-based products and care products may require different handling information; the actual formula, packing and carrier route determine the preparation.
Documentation and shipping preparation explain those workstreams. Discuss your project with its current stage and the next decision you want our team to help resolve.
