About SparkTime
A development partner for the order that has to be right the first time.
We work with small wholesalers, new brands and regional distributors who need a fragrance line built around their market — not chosen from someone else’s catalogue.
What we do
One brief, one specification, one owner.
Most of the difficulty in a small custom order is not the fragrance. It is coordination: a scent decided by one party, a bottle by another, a label by a third, and nobody holding the specification that ties them together. Our work is to hold that document.
Direction
Fragrance developed to a market
We propose scent directions against the market you sell into and the price tier you need, then adjust during sampling. The direction is written down as a code and a concentration, not a description.
Specification
Nine points, checked before price
Bottle, neck, pump, cap, box, label, scent, concentration, fill size. Conflicts are found before a quotation is issued, and the answer is one of three: as specified, with a substitution, or not workable.
Delivery
Documents that travel with the goods
SDS, CoA, IFRA conformity and stability reports on request, plus a written split between what we provide and what you or your importer must file in your market.
Why buyers come to us
The problems we are built around.
Quantity
A finished-goods trial starts at 1–5 pieces, so a direction can be judged before packaging is committed. Dedicated packaging starts at 300 pieces and steps up to 2,000 depending on bottle, pump and box. Both numbers are published rather than revealed at the end of a conversation.
Timing
First reply within 24 business hours; feasibility note and quotation in about five business days. Each file carries the name of the person answering it.
Coherence
A sealed reference sample plus a written specification is the acceptance standard for every order. Colour, scent, spray function and decoration position are judged against that document, not against a photograph.
Discretion
We keep the identity of the companies we develop with out of our marketing. Buyers deal with us: one brief, one owner, one specification, and no need to coordinate several parties to get an answer.
How we work
What we will not do
A short list, because the limits are part of the offer.
- No off-the-shelf saleWe do not sell from a warehouse list. Every line is developed against a brief, and the collections shown here are proposals rather than goods on a shelf.
- No third-party brand namesWe do not copy another brand’s name, artwork or claim, and we do not describe a direction as a substitute for someone else’s product.
- No certification claimsWe do not display certification marks we cannot substantiate, and we do not describe a product as certified on this site.
- No efficacy claimsNo therapeutic, predictive, mood-guarantee or “all natural” claim is made for any direction.
- No published pricesQuotations follow a reviewed brief, and they state quantity, packaging level and timing together.
Tell us the market. We will tell you what is possible.
