Everything You Need to Know to Start Your Perfume Line

Have you been wanting to make your own perfume line, but fear holds you back? Do you feel like creating your own perfume brand is on a whole other level? Maybe, your doubts about your capabilities as a businessman or woman are what’s blocking you from starting your own perfume line. Now, before we go on, let me tell you this: Starting your own perfume line is much easier than it seems.

As one of the best in anything fragrance related, Stone Candles has got a lot of useful advice for all the aspiring perfume businessmen or women out there. After all, Stone Candles, before becoming what it is now, has also started from somewhere. Along with Light 4 Life, here is everything you need to know in starting your perfume line (from the best Perfume line and manufacturer, no less!)


What You Need to Consider

Before creating your own perfume line and brand, there are some things you need to think about first in order to establish your unique and amazing perfume brand.

First thing you need to consider is your Target Market. Who are you planning to sell your perfumes? Do you want to produce perfumes for younger or older people? Determining these things will help in creating your brand and know your price range in selling your products.

Next thing that is also important is your vision and mission in creating your perfume brand. Why do you want to create your own perfume line? What do you plan to achieve? Do you have a great cause in your perfume brand?

Last thing you need to consider is your capital. To most businessmen, this is where they encounter the biggest hurdle in starting their own business. After all, creating your perfume line—much more, your perfume brand—would require a huge amount of money. This may also be the biggest trouble that you’re having—but worry no more! With Light 4 Life, you don’t need to have a massive capital. Light 4 Life’s minimum order quantity (or the minimum number of products that need to be produced) goes for as low as 24 units and would not take a huge chunk of your savings.

With that out of the way, let’s proceed to the actual steps of creating your perfume line.

Step 1: Design Your Fragrance

Of course, in order to launch your own perfume brand, you need to have your own unique fragrances. Luckily for you, Light 4 Life makes this step very easy.

Light 4 Life has a wide array of scent strips which you can order. These scent strips have various scents ranging from scents that are similar to branded perfume to simple aromas like the smell of freshly cut grass. Almost all the possible scents and aromas are available for you. From these, you can mix and match the different scent strips, and create your own fragrance formula. Truly, custom fragrances are what’s going to make your brand unique.

You may select as many scents as you want (but we recommend three types of scents for a perfect blend!) and combine it with different ratios. You may then send these combinations to Light 4 Life and they will be the ones who will make it for you. Easy-peasy, right?
