Discuss your requirements
Evaluate fragrance in the finished base
A concentrate's odour on a blotter can differ from its profile in a finished formula. Compare samples at the intended concentration after the appropriate resting period.
Applications shape the evaluation
Fine fragrance, personal care and home fragrance can differ in base compatibility and performance targets. Test for changes in odour, colour or clarity under relevant storage conditions.
Fragrance materials and blends
Discuss whether the project calls for a single aromatic material or a compounded fragrance concentrate. Describe the target scent, base and desired performance in the finished product.
Compounded concentrates
Provide a brief covering target odour, product base and evaluation conditions. Compare samples in the intended application.
Buyer questions
Clarify these points when comparing offers.
Can one fragrance be used across several bases?
Evaluate each base and intended use separately. Ask for documentation for each use category before setting the formula and concentration.
Request formula-relevant documentation
Obtain relevant safety and technical data and review use limits and declarations applicable to the intended product category and destination.
Keep a retained sample
Agree on batch references, compatible sealed containers and storage conditions. Retain an approved reference sample for subsequent lot evaluations.
