Brief us

What we make

The perfumery products we develop and fill, and what each one suits.

Eau de parfum

Fine fragrance at about 15–20% perfume concentrate in alcohol, the usual strength for a signature scent. It is macerated, chilled and filtered before filling so it stays clear in the cold.

Base
Hydro-alcoholic solution
Packaging
Spray bottle
Good for
Signature scents, long wear, gifting, evening wear

Eau de toilette

A lighter strength at roughly 5–15% concentrate, suited to fresh, citrus and daytime scents. Glass bottles are filled to level, then the pump is crimped on to seal the neck.

Base
Hydro-alcoholic solution
Packaging
Spray bottle
Good for
Daytime wear, fresh and citrus scents, summer editions, entry price points

Perfume oil

Fragrance concentrate, usually about 10–30%, in a light carrier such as caprylic/capric triglyceride. It wears close to the skin and, without alcohol, often falls outside flammable-liquid rules, depending on flash point.

Base
Anhydrous oil
Packaging
Roll-on
Good for
Handbag sizes, alcohol-free ranges, layering, travel

Solid perfume

Fragrance, often around 10–30%, set in waxes, butters and oils and poured hot into tins or compacts like a balm. Fragrance goes in at the lowest workable pour temperature.

Base
Anhydrous wax blend
Packaging
Tin
Good for
Carry-on travel, gifting, alcohol-free ranges, refillable compacts

Body mist

An all-over spritz at around 1–5% fragrance, often with more water and less alcohol than a perfume. Water-rich versions need a preservative, and a solubiliser to keep them clear.

Base
Dilute hydro-alcoholic solution
Packaging
Spray bottle
Good for
Everyday top-ups, gym and beach bags, lower price points, scent layering

Linen spray

A perfume brand's scent for bed linen, fabric and rooms, with a few per cent fragrance in water and alcohol, spot-tested on fabric for staining.

Base
Hydro-alcoholic solution
Packaging
Spray bottle
Good for
Scent extensions, bed linen, gift sets, hospitality

Good to know

Dangerous goodsAlcohol-based perfumes are Class 3 flammable liquids (UN1266), so road freight follows the ADG Code, air freight IATA rules and storage state dangerous-goods rules, with limited-quantity allowances for retail packs.
Ingredient labellingAustralian cosmetic labels follow the Consumer Goods (Cosmetics) Information Standard 2020, which lets fragrance appear as one 'parfum' entry; whoever imports the concentrate must be registered with AICIS.
Heat and lightAustralian summer heat and sunlight break down fragrance and fade colour, so stability testing covers hot storage and light, and clear glass may need a UV absorber or a carton.
IFRA complianceThe fragrance house issues an IFRA certificate giving the maximum dose for each product category, so one scent can carry different limits in a perfume and a room spray.
EU allergensFor EU export, named fragrance allergens are listed on the label above 0.001% in leave-on and 0.01% in rinse-off products, and the EU list now runs well beyond the original 26.
