Step 2: Negotiation

This step is crucial for shaping the commercial structure of your business. At Jasmine, we make sure every stage is transparent and fully aligned with your profit goals.

This stage includes:

Wholesale fragrances for sale

At Jasmine, we offer three main tracks for sourcing fragrances:

Wholesale under the Jasmine brand: You purchase ready-made products under our well-known, trusted brand and leverage our market reputation and high quality to support your sales.
Private label manufacturing: Your second option is to produce perfumes under your own brand name and design, while taking full advantage of our production expertise.
Bulk supply of raw materials: You can also order fragrance raw materials, such as concentrated perfume oils in large quantities for refilling and bottling in your own country.

Selection and specification

This is done based on market data and your projected needs:

Building your fragrance list: We provide you with a list of the best-selling scents in regional markets so you can choose the variants that match your audience’s preferences.
Matching global bestsellers: We can offer fragrance compositions similar to internationally popular references, giving your project a strong competitive edge.
Setting the minimum order quantity (MOQ): We agree on a suitable starting quantity for your first order that aligns with your planned investment in storage and distribution.

Discussing details

This is the most financially critical phase, as it focuses on securing the best value for money:

Competitive wholesale pricing: We offer excellent pricing for large orders, with additional discounts that increase as your order volume grows.
Flexible payment terms: We agree on a payment structure that fits your supply plan, typically with an initial deposit to confirm production and the remaining balance payable before shipment.
Shipping agreement: We define the terms clearly, whether you choose ex-works from the factory (EXW) or delivery to the vessel (FOB), along with each party’s responsibilities for costs and logistics.

Step 3: samples and testing quality

Do not move on to producing a full container until you are fully confident in the product’s quality and its ability to meet both your expectations and those of your target market. Let’s see why.

Why do you request fragrance samples from the factory?

Evaluating longevity and performance: This allows you to make sure the product maintains its effectiveness, by testing how long the fragrance lasts on skin and fabrics under different conditions.
Verifying the final scent: Samples let you precisely assess how well the final fragrance matches your brief and your consumers’ expectations.
Comparing oil quality: In our factory, you can compare the density and quality of the concentrated fragrance oils, which reflects the purity and consistency of the formula.
Checking packaging and filling quality: You can examine the quality of the bottles and spray pumps (atomizers) to ensure the durability of all components used to protect and preserve the product.

How do we prepare and supply samples at Jasmine?

At Jasmine Factory, we handle sample requests with a high level of professionalism to ensure they arrive safely and on time.

Preparing tailored samples: We compile a selection of the samples you’ve chosen, whether from our existing perfume lines or from custom-made formulations developed for your private label.
Attaching quality certificates: Each shipment includes relevant certificates confirming the quality and safety of the oils and raw materials used in production.
Shipping: We ship samples through trusted international courier companies to ensure they reach you as quickly as possible so you can run your tests without delay.

How to Test Fragrances Properly?

When you receive your samples, follow these steps to get a fair and comprehensive evaluation:

Spray the perfume and wait a few minutes before judging it, so you can properly assess the heart and base notes not just the initial top note.
Ask several trusted people from within your target audience to try the fragrances and share their honest feedback on quality and longevity.

Step 4: Confirmation and payment transfer

Once the samples are approved and you are fully satisfied with the quality and fragrance, you move on to the formal contracting stage and the start of production.

Order confirmation

This is done through official documents that safeguard both your commercial rights and the factory’s:

Signing the contract: This contract sets out all key details, including quantities, fragrance references, filling and packaging conditions, and the total agreed price.
Finalizing the design approval: If you are producing a private label, the final bottle and box designs are sent to you for approval before printing begins.
Issuing the proforma invoice: You receive an official proforma invoice specifying the value of the initial deposit required to launch the production process.

Initial Payment

Making an official bank transfer: The agreed advance payment is sent via standard banking channels to Jasmine’s dedicated bank account in Turkey.
Complying with the agreed-upon payment terms: In most cases, a first instalment is required to cover raw material costs and start production, while the remaining balance is settled once manufacturing is complete and before shipment.
Sending proof of payment: It is essential to send a copy of the bank transfer receipt (SWIFT copy) as soon as the payment is made, so our team can immediately begin purchasing the necessary raw materials.

What happens after a payment is processed?

Sourcing raw materials by purchasing the required fragrance oils, pure alcohol, bottles and sprayers according to the agreed specifications.
Creating an estimated timeline for completing production, filling and packaging, allowing you to plan ahead for the shipping and distribution phase

Step 5: Production Phase at Jasmine factory

At this stage, your order is transformed into a high-precision production project inside our facilities, where every step follows the highest Turkish and international standards of quality and professionalism. Let’s walk you through it.

Fragrance Manufacturing

Blending the core ingredients: This includes mixing concentrated fragrance oils with the carrier materials (pure alcohol or other oils) in precise ratios according to the approved formula.
Maturation and maceration: The blend is stored for a defined period under controlled environmental conditions, allowing the ingredients to bind properly and stabilizing the fragrance character.
Controlling in-process quality: Random samples are taken at regular intervals to perform purity and stability tests, ensuring the product is free from defects and meets the agreed specifications.
Automatic filling and packing: The perfumes are filled into their designated bottles, then spray pumps and caps are fitted and sealed securely on high-efficiency automated production lines.

How do we handle private label orders during manufacturing?

When you choose the private label route, production becomes even more tailored to your brand:

Applying approved designs: Labels and boxes are printed using the materials and colors that were approved with you in the previous order stage.
Assembling the final product: Each bottle is placed into its dedicated box, and the boxes are then packed into master cartons printed with your brand identity.
Complying with your specifications: We adhere to all your specific requirements, such as the language used on the packaging texts and how different SKUs are arranged inside the container.

What is your role during this stage?

Receiving regular progress reports from the factory, keeping you fully informed about each milestone achieved in production.
Preparing your local logistics, from securing warehouse space to planning your launch and marketing activities.

Step 6: Shipping procedures

Once production has been completed, we move on to the critical logistics stage of preparing your shipment and initiating the export process, which requires very high accuracy in both documentation and execution. At Jasmine Perfume Factory, we make sure this phase runs as smoothly as possible.

How to prepare perfume shipment inside the factory?

There is no doubt that we take great care with the final packing to ensure your products arrive in the best possible condition through:

Secure packaging: Shipping cartons are wrapped and professionally secured inside the container, which greatly reduces the risk of damage or movement during transport.
Final quantity check: We carry out a full count of all quantities and product types to verify that everything matches exactly what was agreed in the contract.
Shipping documents: All necessary export paperwork is prepared, including validated commercial invoices, certificates of origin and detailed packing lists.

Shipping procedures and logistics clearance

These procedures require special handling, as perfumes are classified as partially flammable goods (when alcohol-based):

Coordination with shipping companies: Our logistics team arranges everything with the appropriate air, sea or land carriers based on your destination and the agreed shipping terms.
Customs export clearance: We complete all required Turkish customs procedures to ensure your shipment leaves the port quickly and in full legal compliance.
Cargo insurance: We offer options to insure your goods against loss or damage during transport, giving you an extra layer of security and peace of mind.

Documents provided by Jasmine

As soon as the container is shipped, we supply you with all the essential documents you need for customs clearance in your country:

Bill of Lading / Air Waybill (B/L – AWB): The document that proves the shipment of your goods and specifies their destination details.
Certificate of origin: Confirms that the products were manufactured in Turkey, which may affect the applicable customs duties in your country.
Final commercial invoice: A full statement showing the final value of the shipment, including any additional costs (based on the agreed international shipping terms).

At Jasmine, we ensure precise packing and complete, accurate shipping documentation so your shipment passes smoothly through all checkpoints and is protected against potential risks. Contact us now to define the shipping terms for your goods and guarantee they arrive in the best condition, with all customs documents in place.

Step 7: Container arrival and goods receipt

This is the final step, when your shipment reaches the port or entry point in your country. The key here is to manage customs clearance efficiently and quickly so you avoid any delays or additional charges.

What happens when the fragrance shipment reaches the port?

As soon as the container arrives, the receiving procedures begin:

Receiving an Arrival Notice: You receive an official notice from your local shipping agent confirming the container’s arrival and the scheduled time for unloading.
Submitting import documents: The import documents sent by our factory, Jasmine, are handed over to your customs broker so they can start the clearance process.
Paying customs duties and taxes: All applicable duties and taxes on the shipment are calculated and must be paid in order to complete customs clearance.

Random inspection of the goods: The shipment may be subject to a random inspection by customs to verify that it matches the official documents and certificates of origin.

How do you ensure the goods are in good condition at delivery?

Inspecting the container before opening: Make sure the container seal is intact and has not been tampered with during transit.
Checking the condition of the cartons: Inspect the boxes immediately after unloading to confirm there is no damage or moisture caused by transportation.
Reviewing product samples: Compare the finished products you’ve received with the reference samples you approved at the factory to ensure consistent quality.

What is your next step?

Container Receiving marks the beginning of a new phase—your launch and distribution stage:

Move the perfumes to your prepared warehouses, where they can be stored in a suitable, dry environment away from heat.
Start activating your sales and distribution plans that you previously prepared during the production and shipping phases.
