The best questions to ask a perfume manufacturer reveal responsibility and evidence, not just price.
- Which steps are performed at your facility and which are outsourced?
- What determines MOQ for my exact package?
- Who owns or may reuse the fragrance formula?
- How are bottle, pump and liquid compatibility checked?
- What must I approve before production?
- Which documents can be supplied for my destination market?
- How is lead time calculated and what starts it?
- What batch and component records support repeat orders?
- How are defects, leakage and transport claims handled?
Send a real brief and judge the quality of the answers. A supplier willing to identify limitations is usually more useful than one giving immediate unconditional assurances.
