This book will answer your needs if you think you want to have your own perfume but want to 'test the waters' on a very small scale before making a larger financial committment. This book is also ESSENTIAL READING for the executive, promoter, or entrepreneur who wants to add perfume to his or her company's line. The book takes you through all of the necessary steps from the "idea" of having a perfume to a perfume bottled and ready to sell. Best of all, the book guides you, hands on, through each step and by the time you are finished — if you have done all the exercises — you find yourself with about 20 to 30 bottles of your own perfume, ready to sell — all for about $200 in out-of-pocket expense. This is the best, most economical, training manual available today for learning the mechanics of getting your own perfume.
- Creating Your Own Perfume
With A 1700 Percent Markup!
This book was our original step-by-step guide to developing a perfume or cologne you can market under your own trade name. It is based on our actual experience in developing a fragrance that sold quite profitably. The original text refers to a $2,000 expenditure which covered the cost of producing 1,000 bottles of fragrance, ready to sell, and explains what compromises were required to meet this budgetary requirement. The greatly expanded 2nd Edition (available here) includes planning guidance for companies launching a perfume for the first time with budgets in the range of from $10,00 to $100,000. An important focus of the book is on cost control and what is — and what is not — practical for the first time perfume marketer.
