How It Works

1. Inspiration

Use literally anything as a starting point for your fragrance - colors, images, scent notes - bring as much or as little as you like!

2. Formulation

We will create fragrance 'sketches' - unique olfactive outlines that will be used as the foundation for the finished fragrance.

3. Evaluation

Take as much time as you need to experience, wear and evaluate submissions and define the direction(s).

4. MODIFICATION

Once we have narrowed in on the concept(s), the fine-tuning begins for enhancement, product form, finishing touches and dosage.

4. Approval

Upon final approval, you will receive a personalized oil code and name. Order anytime!

    An incredibly helpful phone consultation

    I had a phone consult with Nathan today and he couldn't have been easier to talk to. He is incredibly knowledgeable and genuinely seems to care about being a great resource to me and my project. He listened to my questions and answered them thoroughly and provided excellent input. There's no doubt he and his wife are true professionals and industry experts. I highly recommend consulting with them and I am looking forward to further working with them.

    Top-tier experience, priceless results...

    Where's the 10 star button when you need it? Cecile and Nathan are true experts in their field. From the initial request to receiving the custom oil, it was one of the best collaborative, seamless, and simple experiences I can remember. Nathan listened, understood, answered all of my 100 questions (tongue & cheek), confirmed, translated my vison into science/art, Cecile unleashed her creativity, three sample options arrived at my doorstep, and the rest is history. We're extremely satisfied with the custom fragrance "gem" that we invested in. Highly recommend. Thanks, both!

    Helpful Q&A

    Nathan was helpful and patient with my first consultation. Looking forward to their guidance throughout the process! It was nice to start this process speaking to the company owner vs. a sales representative.

    Excellent guidance

    Nathan helped us gain clarity on what to focus on when choosing the fragrances we were leaning towards. He was able to answer our specific questions on health standards which was our primary concern. We learned a lot and will use the information to take the steps we need to creating tbe fragrances for our candle brand. Thanks Nathan.

    Educational, Personal, and Professional

    Highly recommend starting with a phone consultation to scope out your project. Nathan was amazing and very helpful with guiding me around what I am creating. Zero attempt to upsell, just thoughtful discussion on where to start, considerations, and watch points. Great advice! Thank you!

In general, the process can take anywhere from 3 - 6+ months to complete depending on the complexity of the project and client timing/feedback.

  • Once we have initial information, expect to receive the first round of submissions in 4-6 weeks
  • Take as much time as you need to experience and use the samples
  • Revisions (if needed) typically take 1-2 weeks to complete, after which we will resend samples

The development fee includes all aspects of development from start to finish:

  • Customized oil naming and personalized product code
  • All safety and regulatory checks/documentation (IFRA, SDS, COA)

The initial payment excludes the following:

  • Oil purchases are separate and in addition to initial payment
  • Expedited/international shipping of development samples

We will contact you to obtain the information we need to start formulation work, so please make sure contact information is accurate and complete.

  • Target oil budget ($/LB)
  • Intended use and product categories (can be multiple)
  • Oil specifications or requirements (if needed), such as plant-based, biodegradable, etc.
  • Olfactive inspiration is optional, come with as much or as little as you like!

You do! We will determine the oil budget before we begin formulation work. If there is any discrepancy between the desired budget and the brief, we will let you know.
