Revenue model

1. Contract perfume manufacturing — filling & packaging: B2B contract manufacturing of bespoke perfumes. Clients provide or commission a fragrance formula and branding; INTERESSENS handles industrial production. Revenue is generated per production run (one-time per order), with reorder potential driven by client success.
2. Turn-key perfume project: Full-service offering covering brief, olfactory design, packaging sourcing, regulatory compliance, production, and export logistics. Revenue per project milestone: deposit on signature, payment on sample validation, balance before shipment.
3. Samples & mini-formats production: Production of vials (1.5–2 ml), roll-ons (5–10 ml), mini-sprays (10–15 ml), and discovery sets for brand launches, trade shows, press, and corporate gifting. Lower MOQ (100+ units) with per-unit pricing.
4. Hotel amenities manufacturing: Bespoke amenity lines (shampoo, shower gel, body lotion, soap) at the hotel's exclusive olfactory signature for 5-star hotels, boutique hotels, resorts, and spas. Often bundled with turn-key fragrance development.
5. Duty-free & corporate gifting production: Custom travel-exclusive formats, bespoke gift coffrets, and event packaging for travel retail operators and corporate gifting programs. MOQ from 50 units for premium series-limited editions to 2,000+ for travel retail sets.
