For the production minimum, see perfume MOQ and small-batch conditions. To apply quantities and your own cost inputs, use the perfume cost and MOQ calculator. This guide explains quotation components; the calculator produces an assumption-based planning subtotal.
Break the quotation into comparable parts
We prepare a perfume quotation from the product you intend to manufacture: scent route, carrier and concentration direction, quantity per scent, net fill, components and finished handover. A bulk-liquid order and a ready-to-sell branded perfume carry different work. Separate the cost items below so the quotation reflects the same scope as your plan.
| Cost item | What can change it | What to confirm in the offer |
|---|---|---|
| Fragrance development | Existing selection, reference work, bespoke scope and revisions | Sample work, revision scope, fees and formula rights included |
| Finished liquid | Scent, carrier, concentration, performance target and quantity | Formula reference, unit, quantity and whether ready to fill |
| Bottle and dispensing parts | Material, fill, neck, pump, cap and seal | Components included, source and quantity per part |
| Decoration and outer pack | Finish, print, labels, boxes and artwork | Methods, versions, minimums and setup items included |
| Filling and assembly | Formula, pack, unit count and assembly steps | Filling, sealing, coding, labels and assembly included |
| Documents and delivery | Actual product, requested information, destination and handover | Exact documents, freight scope, taxes and responsibilities included |
An item can be included, excluded or still awaiting a specification. Record that status explicitly so an open decision does not look like a zero cost. Fravanta can discuss bulk finished liquid as well as a broader private label project.
How formula and performance goals affect the brief
The scent, carrier and concentration all affect the formula being quoted. A target such as a softer opening, a particular dry character or a stronger presence relative to a reference may change the development work. Quantity, sampling and the rights you require also belong in the cost discussion.
A concentration percentage is not a fixed wear-hour promise or a simple cost multiplier. Compare the actual samples and scope, rather than assuming two formulas at the same percentage are interchangeable. The concentration guide explains which information should accompany that number.
Separate liquid and packaging minimums
Fravanta’s usual perfume minimum is 30 kg of liquid per scent. Several scents should be listed separately; a total of 30 kg split between different scents is not the same request. Bottle, pump, decoration and box minimums are confirmed independently and may determine a different purchasing quantity.
For planning, the theoretical bottle count is liquid mass divided by the mass in each fill. When the fill is stated in ml, you also need the actual density; filling loss and usable quantity then affect the practical result. As a purely illustrative calculation, 30 kg divided by an assumed 0.05 kg net fill is 600 theoretical units before loss. That assumption is 50 g, not an assertion that a 50 ml fill weighs 50 g. See the minimum-order explanation for the quantity discussion.
Compare quotes on the same specification
Align formula reference, quantity per scent, net fill, pack and decoration, filling scope, development rights and handover point. Also compare currency, applicable taxes or duties, payment assumptions and quote validity. If one offer excludes the outer box or freight, record that difference before comparing the total.
A practical comparison has three columns: required item, supplier inclusion and unresolved assumption. Ask for clarification of an unresolved item rather than filling it with a guessed cost. The final commercial comparison should reflect the same approved product and order scope.
Prepare a cost enquiry
Copy these fields into your project notes. “Not decided” is a useful answer when it identifies an item to resolve.

Decisions still open:Request a project quotation with those inputs. A clear brief supports an itemised conversation; exact prices, sample charges and timing follow the specification rather than an automatic estimate.
Quantity planning and sample kits
Use the quantity and budget calculator to check your bottle plan, then configure a sample kit to compare scents and packaging.
