Custom-blend services we offer

Fragrance accord design (F&F)

To-brief fragrance compound design for soap, candle, FMCG, premium personal care, niche perfumery. Match-to-brief or original creative work.

Signature spa amenity compound

Hotel chains + spa-amenity OEMs — bespoke signature accord for branded amenity lines (bath gel, shampoo, body wash, candle).

Custom carrier-oil blend

Pre-blended carrier base for cosmetic OEM — jojoba + sweet almond + sesame + vitamin E + selected actives, blended to your specification.

Custom isolate-grade specification

For pharma + F&F compounders — custom assay grade (e.g., 99.5% Linalool), custom optical-rotation spec, custom impurity ceiling.

Match-to-sample reverse-engineering

Send a competitor sample + brief — our perfumer designs a match-or-improve compound. NDA strictly maintained.

Reformulation + cost-down

Existing fragrance compound that has become too expensive? We reformulate for cost-efficiency without compromising character.

How the custom-blend service works (6-step)

1

Brief discovery call

Discovery call (~30-60 minutes) on Zoom/WhatsApp. You share: target character, application (soap/candle/cosmetic/etc.), volume forecast, target landed cost, regulatory destination, NDA scope.

2

NDA signed + technical brief

Mutual NDA signed. Our perfumer + R&D team prepare a technical brief based on the discovery call — translating commercial brief to compound architecture.

3

First-iteration sample (2-3 weeks)

First custom-blend sample (typically 100g-1 kg depending on application) shipped with COA + organoleptic notes from our in-house perfumer.

4

Buyer evaluation + feedback

You evaluate in your lab / on your finished-product matrix. Send back feedback: “more woody base”, “less citrus top”, “stronger fixative” — whatever needs adjusting.

5

Iteration 2-3 (typically 2-3 rounds total)

Refined sample(s) based on your feedback. Most custom blends are dialled-in within 2-3 iteration rounds.

6

Final spec locked + production batch

Final compound spec locked. First production batch (50 kg+) scheduled. Locked-recipe NDA + reservation slot in our 6-month production planner.

Custom-blend pricing structure

  • Sample iterations: Typically free for serious bulk prospects (with NDA + forecast commitment). Sample shipping at cost.
  • R&D charge: For deeply custom work (e.g., match-to-sample reverse-engineering on a 12-ingredient compound), R&D charge may apply (₹15-50k depending on complexity). Credited back against first production order.
  • Production batch: Standard tier-ladder pricing applies. 50 kg minimum for custom blends; 180 kg for bulk drum; FCL for container scale.
  • Recurring custom blend: Locked-recipe pricing valid for 6-12 months. Reservation slot ensures capacity.
