Library fragrance or custom scent for your brand?
You do not need your own perfume formula. Start from a direction in our fragrance library, or brief a custom scent with our atelier — here is how to choose.
Short answer
Two ways to choose your scent
You do not need your own perfume formula. Choose a direction from our fragrance library when one already fits your brand, or brief a custom scent with our atelier when you have a clear idea of your own.
Both routes end the same way: a perfume made in Dubai under your brand name, from 300 pieces per variant.
Side by side
Library fragrance vs custom scent
| Library fragrance | Custom scent | |
|---|---|---|
| Starting point | A direction from our library, each shown with its Opening, Heart and Drydown | Your brief — notes you like, a mood, or library directions to build from |
| Sample kit | Inspired-by kit: every sample picked from our inspired-by library | Bespoke kit: each sample created for you from our library, your notes, or both |
| Strength | Eau de Toilette, Eau de Parfum or Extrait | |
| Minimum order | 300 pieces per variant | |
| Formula ownership | The formula remains ours; full ownership with exclusivity can be purchased — quoted on request | |
Kit prices in your currency are on the sample kit page.
Library route
When a library fragrance is the better start
Our library includes inspired and house directions for brand building. It suits you if you want to compare finished directions side by side, or if you are launching your first line and want to choose from scents you can sample straight away.
Inspired-by describes the scent direction only. Your perfume carries your own brand name, artwork and packaging.
Custom route
How to brief a custom scent
A custom brief suits you if you already know the character your brand needs. The more specific you are, the closer the first samples land. Include:
- Notes and note families you want, and any you want to avoid.
- The strength your market expects — compare them in the Olfactive Atelier.
- Library directions you like as a reference, if any.
- Where you will sell, so we can confirm which product documents we can supply for that market.
Not sure yet? A bespoke kit can mix library scents and your own notes, so you can test both routes in one kit.
Your formula
Who owns what: brand, formula and confidentiality
- Your brand is yours. You own your brand name, logo and label artwork.
- The formula remains ours. The fragrance formula remains the property of Ecnargarf Perfumes — whether you start from our library or a custom brief.
- Formula ownership can be purchased. Want to own your custom formula outright, with worldwide exclusivity? Mention it in your brief and it is quoted separately on your quotation.
- Made only for you. A custom formula developed for your brand is produced only for you and never supplied to other clients. We do not copy or supply your brand or its products to anyone else.
- Confidential by default. Formulations, packaging designs and brand production details stay strictly confidential, and we can sign an NDA with you once sampling is complete.

FAQ
Choosing your scent — common questions
Do I need my own perfume formula?
No. Choose from our fragrance library or brief a custom direction with our atelier. The Olfactive Atelier explains strengths and note families.
Can you create a custom fragrance?
Yes. Brief a custom direction with our atelier, or start from a direction in our fragrance library — each shows its Opening, Heart and Drydown.
What is the difference between bespoke and inspired-by sample kits?
Bespoke samples are created for you from our library, your own notes, or both. Inspired-by samples are all picked from our inspired-by fragrance library, with no custom notes. Prices for both are on the sample kit page.
Who owns the fragrance formula?
You own your brand name, logo and label artwork. The fragrance formula remains the property of Ecnargarf Perfumes and stays strictly confidential: a custom formula developed for your brand is produced only for you and never supplied to other clients, and we can sign an NDA with you once sampling is complete. If you want full ownership of the formula, it can be purchased — ask our team and it is shown on your quotation.
Will you share my formula with other brands?
No. A custom formula developed for your brand is produced only for you and never supplied to other clients. Formulations, packaging designs and brand production details stay strictly confidential, and we can sign an NDA with you once sampling is complete.
Which strengths can I choose?
Eau de Toilette, Eau de Parfum and Extrait. The strength changes how long the scent lasts and how much perfume oil goes into each bottle.
