Detailed Introduction of Fragrance Products

To purchase fragrances in the United States, there are several channels available, each offering different price ranges and purchasing methods depending on factors such as scent type, concentration, brand, and order quantity.

1. Direct Import (Through Manufacturers in France, Italy, UAE, or China)

Channel:
Directly importing fragrances is a common approach for businesses sourcing perfumes, colognes, or essential oils from manufacturers. You can find fragrance suppliers through B2B platforms like Alibaba, Made-in-China, or TradeKey, or by attending international trade fairs such as TFWA World Exhibition (for duty-free perfumes) or Cosmoprof. Establishing long-term partnerships with overseas manufacturers can help secure better pricing, exclusive scents, and a stable supply chain.

Price:
The cost of fragrances varies based on concentration, brand, and order volume.

• Bulk purchase (generic/private-label perfumes): $2 – $20 per unit (30ml–100ml bottles).

• Mid-range designer-inspired fragrances: $15 – $50 per unit.

• Luxury or niche perfumes (e.g., Creed, Tom Ford dupes or original formulations): $50 – $300+ per unit.

2. Wholesale Market

Channel:
Major U.S. cities like Los Angeles, New York, and Miami have wholesale fragrance markets that offer various perfume products, including:

• Designer-inspired & dupes (similar to popular brands like Chanel, Dior, etc.)

• Niche & artisan perfumes (small-batch, natural ingredients)

• Body mists, oils, and aftershaves (lower-cost alternatives)

• Custom-branded fragrances (OEM/private labeling for businesses)

These markets allow buyers to connect with wholesalers, negotiate pricing, and discuss shipping/payment terms.

Price:
The price of fragrances in wholesale markets typically ranges between $5 – $150 per unit, depending on factors such as:

• Fragrance type (EDT, EDP, parfum, oil concentration)

• Branding (generic, designer-inspired, or luxury packaging)

• Bottle quality (glass, spray mechanism, luxury presentation)

• Bulk discounts (orders of 100+ units may reduce costs by 20–50%).

Additional Notes:

• Retail Options: For smaller orders, retailers like Amazon, ScentBird, or FragranceX offer wholesale/dropshipping options.

• Customization: Many manufacturers provide private-label services (custom scents, packaging, branding).

• Regulations: Ensure compliance with IFRA (International Fragrance Association) and FDA guidelines for safe ingredient use.

• MOQs: Direct imports may require minimum orders of 500–1,000 units, while wholesalers may offer smaller batches.
