Commercial product development


We are fragrance storytellers. We help you tell your beauty and fragrance stories in a way that works for your brand.  We specialise in creating fragrance and beauty products such as perfume, candles, body, skincare and beauty products for your fashion or beauty brand or business. We can handle all facets of the project from ideation, fragrance and beauty product development, to bottle sourcing and packaging, oversee the manufacture and can present you with the finished, compliant product ready for sale. We work with perfumers in Australia and Grasse, the home of perfumery in France, as well as independent cosmetic chemists and manufacturers around the world. We can also arrange to look after the “boring bits” such as stability testing and registering your product for sale overseas.

In todays challenging retail world and with online sales growing, physical stores require an extra edge to keep their customers returning and to entice new customers to visit.
