Two distinct sourcing conversations

Global Trade Canada lists essential oils and perfume oils among its supply sectors. In general industry use, essential oils are aromatic materials obtained from botanical sources, while fragrance or perfume oils are compositions selected to create an odour profile and may combine natural and synthetic ingredients. These examples explain the sector and do not establish current company inventory.

Start with the intended application

Fine fragrance, personal care and cosmetic manufacturing can require different performance characteristics. Explain the finished-product format, intended use, target odour profile, concentration and processing conditions. Colour, solubility, stability and compatibility with the product base should be assessed through an appropriate sample and evaluation process.

Review composition and use documentation

For botanical oils, specify botanical identity, plant part, extraction method and origin where relevant. For formulated fragrance oils, agree the reference profile and batch-consistency criteria. Request specifications and an SDS where applicable, plus relevant fragrance-industry documentation for the intended use. Documents must be checked for scope and revision; they do not constitute a blanket approval for every formulation or market.

From reference sample to sourcing enquiry

Provide the material or fragrance reference, intended application and market, annual and initial volumes, packaging preference, sample requirements and required documents. Identify any composition restrictions or customer specifications early. Availability, suitability and commercial conditions require direct confirmation.
