To check a bottle-count proposal, use the perfume cost and MOQ calculator with fill size, density and loss assumptions. The result does not approve a smaller production batch. The manufacturing cost guide explains the separate quotation items.
The usual perfume minimum: 30 kg per scent
Our usual perfume production minimum is 30 kg of liquid per scent. This is the net liquid mass for the fragrance formula, not a fixed bottle quantity or a combined allowance to divide across several scents. We plan each scent separately, then review the fill sizes, component quantities and finished-product scope with you.
This reference helps frame the perfume project; the order still needs the formula, carrier, packaging and finished-product scope confirmed. If you plan one scent in several fill sizes, state the split so the filling and component requirements can be assessed together. For liquid-only procurement, see bulk perfume supply.
Weight is not the same as bottle count
For mass-based planning, theoretical fills equal total usable liquid mass divided by the net liquid mass per bottle. For volume-based filling, first use the actual product density to convert the intended millilitres into grams. Include the agreed allowances for filling loss, retained samples or other production use before treating the result as an output plan.
Illustrative calculation only: 30 kg is 30,000 g. If each bottle contained 50 g of liquid and there were no losses or other allowances, 30,000 ÷ 50 would give 600 theoretical fills. This is not a production yield promise, and a 50 ml bottle is not automatically a 50 g fill.
| Quantity you know | What is still needed |
|---|---|
| Kilograms per scent | Fill size, density if filled by volume, and production allowances |
| Desired number of bottles | Net fill and actual formula density, plus allowances |
| Several bottle sizes | Quantity split by size and the component requirements for each |
Packaging can have a separate minimum
Bottle, pump or applicator, cap, decoration, label and outer box are separate components with their own supply and production considerations. A liquid quantity that suits the formula does not establish the minimum or availability of a particular decorated bottle.
Send the component design, fill size and desired quantity with the liquid brief. If you bring your own packaging, identify what is supplied and what needs coordination. Packaging scope and the pack specification checklist help avoid comparing different finished-product scopes.
Samples and other product categories
Development samples are discussed separately from the production minimum. The sample format, number of directions, revisions, cost and sending arrangements depend on the brief; sampling explains the starting routes.
Hair fragrance, body mist, home fragrance, solids and scented personal care need their own formula, production and packaging quantity assessment. Do not assume that a perfume liquid minimum also applies to a cream, shampoo or home fragrance format. State the desired units or mass for the actual product.
Tell us the quantity you are considering
You can enquire when you are below 30 kg or still unsure. Say whether the immediate task is scent selection, a development sample or a production quote; an enquiry is a discussion of feasibility, not a promise of a different minimum.
Include each scent or product, desired mass or bottle count, fill size, market, pack concept and whether you need bulk liquid or finished products. Discuss your quantity plan and use the cost guide to separate liquid, packaging and other work.
Low MOQ, small batches and 100–500 bottle plans
If you are searching for low MOQ private label perfume or a no-minimum option, separate sample development from production. Fravanta’s usual production start is 30 kg per scent. For 500 × 50 ml at an assumed 0.85 g/ml and 3% loss, the fill needs about 21.91 kg; 30 kg would theoretically support 684 full fills. A 100-bottle request is welcome for feasibility discussion, but is not a published production minimum. Calculate your actual plan.
