Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between private label and white label perfume?

White label perfume means choosing from existing, ready-made fragrances and adding your brand. Private label means a fragrance developed to your brief and owned by your brand. Sawai offers both, depending on your timeline, budget and need for a distinctive scent.

Do you offer third-party / contract perfume manufacturing?

Yes. Sawai is a contract and third-party perfume manufacturer in India. Fragrances are developed and compounded at our Surat centre and bottled and filled in-house, with consistent quality across repeat production.

Where are your manufacturing facilities?

Sawai operates four facilities in India: Kannauj for steam and hydro distillation of attars and naturals, Silvassa for fractional distillation and large-scale processing, Surat for fragrance compounding and development, and Nilakkottai for solvent and supercritical CO2 extraction. Our head office is in Mumbai.

What is your minimum order quantity?

Minimum quantities depend on the format, fragrance and packaging you choose. Share your expected volumes with our team and we will recommend the right production approach, including options for first-time launches.

Who owns the fragrance formula once it’s developed?

For private-label projects, the fragrance is developed exclusively for your brand and treated as your intellectual property. We maintain strict confidentiality and do not offer the same bespoke formulation to other brands. Ownership and exclusivity terms are clearly defined within the agreement.

Do you handle bottling, packaging, and branding, or just the fragrance?

We offer end-to-end fragrance solutions, from concept development and fragrance creation to bottling, packaging, branding, and final production. Whether you need a complete turnkey solution or support at a specific stage, we can tailor our involvement to your requirements.

How is pricing determined for private-label perfumes?

Pricing depends on several factors, including fragrance concentration, ingredient selection, packaging requirements, product format, and order volume. Once we understand your brief and target price point, we can recommend the most suitable formulation and production approach.

Is the fragrance compliant with industry regulations?

Yes. We develop fragrances in accordance with applicable industry standards and regulations, including IFRA guidelines where relevant. Formulations can be tailored to meet the requirements of your product category and target markets.

Do you work with startups and first-time fragrance brands?

Absolutely. We work with both established brands and emerging businesses entering the fragrance market for the first time. Our team guides you through every stage of the process, making it easier to launch without requiring extensive in-house expertise or infrastructure.

Do you supply brands in the Middle East and the USA?

Yes. Sawai has exported fragrances to the Gulf since 1982 and today works with brands across India, the Middle East and the USA.
