With many fragrance manufacturers to choose from, a
company can easily select a house to work with and instinctively sign with the
lowest bidder. After all, if 8 different fragrance creators are offering you
what appears to be the same fragrance oil, why not go with the cheapest price?
Right? Well...I'd have to disagree. With a handful of fragrance houses to
select from, you should choose wisely and learn more about your vendors'
fragrance quality, inventories, and overall operations. Choosing by price alone,
may have you sniffing for an alternate sooner than later.
There are many things a fragrance house will fail
to tell you as they are pitching price to you as their major selling point. Of
course, no one will admit their faults, shortcomings, or negative press when it
comes to landing that 55 gallon drum order. As an 11 year veteran, with
experience in all areas of fragrance creation, shipping, purchasing, and
sales...I can tell you that there are many hidden thorns in that Rose fragrance
you probably just purchased from the lowest bidder.
In the fragrance industry, quality is key for
most...but not for all. Companies who are using an inexpensive masking agent
for a portable toilet application need not worry about specific gravity or
color index. However, in fine fragrance, candles, personal care, and the now
growing "Green" product lines...a fragrance house needs to pride
themselves on quality and consistency. Failing to remain consistent with
fragrance batch formulations will result in off spec. material. This off spec.
material may not be suitable to use in candles as it may cause discoloration or
not properly blend in wax. For fine fragrance, it may cause irritation to the
skin. These types of issues are a major concern to the Yankee Candle type
companies and Revlon cosmetic type companies that hold sterling positions in
the market. Companies such as these, do not purchase on price alone. Quality
control plays a large role in their decision making and dictates which
fragrance house qualifies as a core vendor...or not.
When considering a fragrance manufacturer,
initially, you should perform a Dun and Bradstreet on the company to see its
history and viability. Take that information into consideration, then meet with
your area sales representative to gather more information like quality and
delivery terms. Keep pricing on the back burner for now...that part is coming
next. Then, you should ask for representative samples of fragrances that you
either cannot find elsewhere, or comparative samples to what you are currently
using to use as a benchmark for quality and price. Giving a sample to this
vendor to see what their duplication capabilities are isn't such a bad idea.
However, you may want to wait until the initial sample request is completed
first. After your meeting, count the days and see how long it takes for your
samples to arrive. Anything over two weeks is considered slow...at least in my
eyes. Samples should be able to be produced in a week to 10 days max...unless
you specify that you are in no rush for them. In most cases, you will be.
