🌟 1. How to Start a Perfume Business in India (Step-by-Step)

Traditionally, launching a perfume brand meant:

• Investing ₹10–₹20 lakh in stock, packaging, design, and storage
• Finding reliable manufacturers
• Navigating GST, packaging law, labeling norms
• Building an e-commerce store
• Managing daily orders, returns, and shipping

But in 2025, Naamayaa has changed the game. Here’s how:

You pay only when an order is placed — the lowest-risk business model in the perfume industry.

💹 2. Is the Perfume Business Profitable?

Yes, extremely. Perfume is one of the highest-margin FMCG categories in the world.

Component	Cost
Fulfillment/Delivery	₹80
Total Cost to Creator	₹330

Selling Price: ₹699–₹999

Net Profit per Bottle: ₹300–₹600

Even small creators with 5,000–10,000 followers are earning ₹30,000–₹80,000/month with just Instagram story promotions.

💰 3. How Much Does It Cost to Manufacture Perfume?

Without Naamayaa, starting your own perfume brand might cost:

Activity	Cost
Perfume oil bulk	₹2,000–₹3,500 per kg
Bottles (MOQ 1,000)	₹40,000–₹50,000
Design & packaging	₹15,000–₹25,000
Website setup	₹30,000–₹50,000
Fulfillment	₹10,000+ monthly
Estimated Capital	₹1.5–₹3 lakh upfront

But with Naamayaa, you skip all of this.

You get a ready-to-go, plug-and-play business — at no fixed cost.

🌐 4. Best Perfumes to Sell Online in India

The Indian online perfume market is dominated by youthful, long-lasting, and gender-neutral scents.

Top-selling styles:

• French Floral (inspired by Dior, Chanel, Zara)
• Middle Eastern Oud (luxury masculine & unisex)
• Citrus & Aqua (summer freshness)
• Woody & Spicy (rich Indian tones)
• Romantic Vanilla Musk (feminine classics)

At Naamayaa, you can choose your fragrance from a library of 100+ global formulations — already loved by Indian consumers.

🧪 5. How to Make Your Own Perfume Brand

Building a brand is not just about scent. It’s about vibe, identity, and storytelling.

Naamayaa helps you create:

• Your brand name
• Custom logo
• Bottle label design
• Packaging and unboxing experience
• Full website + branding assets

Whether you want a luxury brand, youth unisex collection, or desi-bold masculine vibe — we tailor everything to your vision.

🏭 6. Perfume Manufacturing Process Explained

At Naamayaa, the perfume creation process involves:

1. Perfume oil blending (by certified fragrance experts)
2. Aging/Maceration for performance & throw
3. Bottle filling under hygienic, automated lines
4. Labeling with your custom design
5. Boxing & shipping to the customer under your name

Every unit is crafted, packed, and shipped with brand precision — your brand is never mixed or diluted.

📜 7. What License Do I Need to Start a Perfume Business in India?

If you’re manufacturing perfume, you’d typically need:

• GST registration
• Factory license
• Packaging & labeling compliance
• BIS or FSSAI (for attar blends)

But with Naamayaa’s white-label model, you don’t need to worry about licenses.

We manage:

• GST compliance
• Label norms
• Packaging guidelines
• Shipping documentation

You operate as a brand owner, not a manufacturer — just like celebrities and D2C brands do.
