How to Use a Reference Fragrance for Fragrance Duplication
A clear reference package speeds scent matching. Send the right sample details and choose whether you want a close, inspired, or modified direction for your brand.

Reference Guidance
Scent matching works best when the reference is usable and your goal is explicit. Share what you can physically provide, what matters most about the scent, and which matching route you want.
What to Send
- A remaining fragrance sample with enough volume for evaluation
- Notes on sample age, storage, and original format if known
- Preferred product outcome: finished perfume or concentrate
- Any packaging or fill constraints relevant to manufacturing
What to Tell Us
- What you want preserved: opening, heart, dry-down, intensity, or overall character
- What you want changed: softness, sweetness, freshness, longevity feel, or uniqueness
- Target audience and brand positioning
- Whether exclusivity or private label production is part of the plan
Three Matching Routes
Close
Aim for a close olfactory direction relative to the reference for your brand project.
Inspired
Keep a recognizable category feel while allowing clearer brand-led interpretation.
Modified
Use the reference as a starting point, then adjust specific facets to fit your brief.
Reference-based development creates fragrance for your brand. It does not copy another brand’s name, bottle, logo, or packaging identity.
