White Label vs Private Label Perfume – Which is Right for You in 2025?
Introduction
If you’re planning to start your own perfume brand in 2025, one of the first and most important decisions you’ll face is whether to choose white label or private label perfume manufacturing.
Both options are offered by YKS Ventures, India’s leading perfume manufacturer, and each has its own benefits depending on your business goals, investment capacity, and time-to-market requirements.
In this comprehensive guide, we’ll break down:
The differences between white label and private label perfumes.
The pros and cons of each.
How to choose the best option for your brand.
The role of low MOQ suppliers like YKS Ventures in making both models accessible.
What is White Label Perfume?
White label perfume refers to ready-made fragrances that are manufactured, bottled, and packaged by the supplier, but sold under your own brand name.
Key Features of White Label Perfume:
Pre-developed fragrances – You choose from the manufacturer’s existing collection.
Ready-to-sell – Minimal setup time since the product is already made.
Custom labeling – Your logo and branding are applied to the packaging.
Low investment – No cost for scent development or long R&D processes.
Example: YKS Ventures offers a range of IFRA-compliant perfumes ready for white labeling, with a minimum order starting at just 10 bottles per fragrance.
What is Private Label Perfume?
Private label perfume involves custom fragrance development exclusively for your brand.
Here, the manufacturer works with you to create a unique scent, bottle design, and packaging style that no other brand can use.
Key Features of Private Label Perfume:
Exclusive fragrances – Created specifically for your brand identity.
Custom packaging design – Bottles, caps, and boxes tailored to your aesthetic.
Greater creative control – From scent composition to branding.
Higher perceived value – Unique products often command premium pricing.
Example: If you want a fragrance that blends Indian jasmine with French vanilla and hints of oud, YKS Ventures can create that signature scent exclusively for you.
