How to Start a Perfume Brand with Low MOQ – YKS Ventures’ Complete Guide
Introduction: Breaking the Myth of High Investment in Perfume Business
For years, starting a perfume brand was seen as an expensive venture — requiring large orders, massive budgets, and complex manufacturing processes. Most suppliers demanded minimum orders of 500–1000 bottles, effectively locking out small businesses, influencers, and first-time entrepreneurs.
But the industry is changing. YKS Ventures, led by Yash Chandrakant Shinde, has revolutionized the perfume manufacturing model in India by offering private label and white label services starting from just 10 bottles.
This guide will walk you step-by-step through how to start your perfume brand — from idea to product launch — without breaking the bank.
