The kit includes all materials you need to get started including 25 aroma bases, non-alcoholic solvent, bottles, instructions and software that includes both a giant aroma materials database and a perfume creation "wizzard."

Our Books To Help You Make & Sell Perfume
(Discounts available to Perfume Makers' Club members)
- "Creating Your Own Perfume With A 1700 Percent Markup!" — Second Edition (2007)
How much money must a company spend to launch its own perfume? $10 million? $100,000? Or perhaps just $2,000 if, like the company interviewed for this book, you "do it yourself" and become involved in dealing with each of the necessary vendors, supervising the entire development and production process and even, in some cases, having some steps executed in your own plant or office — reducing your expenses to a manufacturer's cost ... a cost that can be just a fraction of "wholesale". The original text was published in 2001 and it described, step-by-step, how a company which had never sold a fragrance before was able to "create" its own fragrance, bottle it, label it and sell it successfully at a 1700 percent markup. All vendors are named. No information is held back. All of the original text is included, unchanged, in this (2007) Second Edition. What has been added — to double the size of the original book — is a section called The Ten Million Dollar Launch, which explains why it is so expensive for a major fragrance marketer to launch a new fragrance, and the dangers of trying to ape this model. Also included in the Second Edition is a new section detailed much information on creating a new perfume that has been gained by the author between 2001 and 2007. Currently there is no other book anywhere that gives the individual or small business such an intimate and practical exposure to the process of creating and manufacturing a commercially viable perfume on a very modest budget. Buyers of the book also receive a full size, 1-ounce sample of a fragrance created using the methods described in the book. Buyers also receive a 90-day trial membership in the Perfume Maker's Club.
- "Developing A Profitable New Perfume On A Budget Of Less Than $200!"
This book could easily be your step on in developing a perfume marketing business. The virtue of this book is that the methods described and materials required are both obtainable and affordable! Following the path laid out, you can come up with your own perfume, ready to sell, with your own name on the bottle. The text is in English. To succeed, you must be able to read and follow simple, non-technical instructions. The book is spiral bound. A sample of one of our own fragrances is included with the book.
- "How To Launch Your Own Perfume Company : A Simple Business Plan"
The perfume creator is the focus of the business described by this simple but dramatic plan for developing a profitable perfume making business. The business described is built upon the skills of three people: the perfume creator, the sales person, and an administrator. While various marketing strategies are considered, the plan quickly narrows down to a single business model with a minimum initial cash requirement and, in most cases, no need at the beginning for outside financing. Yet, for a motivated, qualified, well-focused and well-bonded team, this plan offers maximum growth potential. Financial risk and cash flow potential are evaluated by pre-launch testing. This plan can be implemented as a full-time or part-time business.
- "61 Basic Strategies For Selling Your Own Perfume!"
Are you selling perfume now? Do you have a perfume to sell? Would you like to make your own perfume — if you would sell it? This is the book to read before you spend money developing your own perfume (unless you just love perfume and are approaching it as a personal craft project.) There are a number of good, sensible, workable, affordable ways to develop your own business selling perfume. There are also some glamorous pitfalls that look so profitable that they blind you to reality and distract your efforts from strategies that could be earning you steady profits. The book is spiral bound and comes with a sample of one of our own fragrance.
