Fragrance contract manufacturing · Made in Italy
Fragrance contract manufacturing for your brand
Since 1999 we have worked with more than 825 brands. We produce personal and home fragrances, special products and perfume bulk, and we follow the whole journey, from the scent to the packed product, at our plants in Casei Gerola (PV), Italy.
The contract manufacturer behind your brand
Your fragrance, made by people who do it every day
Working with a contract manufacturer means bringing your fragrance to market without building a laboratory, a filling department and a packing department of your own. The product carries your brand; we provide the expertise, the equipment and the people.
We work on private label and bespoke projects: you can come to us with a finished fragrance or with an idea still to be developed. Either way, we start in the same place, with a meeting to understand your project.

The whole journey, under our direction
Laboratory
In the DFP1 R&D laboratory we fine-tune the formula with you and prepare the samples.
Components
We help you choose bottles, caps, pumps and cartons and, if you wish, we liaise with your suppliers on your behalf.
Bulk production
Alcohol blending and filtration where required, in the DFP1 production department.
Filling
Filling, capping and labelling, from mini sprays under 5 ml to large-capacity bottles.
Packaging
Cartoning, cellophane wrapping and secondary packaging in the DFP2 packing department.
Checks and delivery
Our quality control laboratory analyses raw materials and semi-finished products throughout the process. Then we deliver the finished product, ready for sale.
We follow your project from start to finish. If you have your own filling department, we can produce the bulk only instead.
Our method, step by step
Two plants in Casei Gerola (PV) and a new site opening soon in Voghera.
Quantities and formats
From small batches to large runs
Our production is flexible and modular: we organise departments and people around each project, from small batches to large runs, in every format.
Confidentiality
Your project stays yours
We publish no portfolio and no client names, and information about your project is never shared with third parties.

Before you start
What does fragrance contract manufacturing mean?
It means we produce the fragrance for another company, which sells it under its own brand. The brand defines the product together with us; we take care of production and, if needed, packaging.
Can I start from my own fragrance?
Yes. You can start from a fragrance you already own or from an idea to develop together in our laboratory.
Do you produce small batches?
Yes: our production is flexible and we work from small batches to large runs. Quantities and formats are agreed together, based on the project.
Do you also handle bottles and packaging?
We help you choose the components and can liaise with your suppliers on your behalf. Filling, labelling and packing take place at our plants.
How do you control quality?
Our quality control laboratory follows raw materials from arrival until they are used, and the bulk throughout its life. We analyse semi-finished products for all the necessary physico-chemical characteristics, and more, to build a complete record for the future.
How much does it cost to have a fragrance manufactured?
It depends on the fragrance, components, quantities and processes: every project is tailor-made. That is why we don't quote prices before we have understood it together in a meeting, in person or online.
Where are your plants?
In Casei Gerola (PV), Italy: DFP1 Lab & Filling at Via per Voghera 2 (offices, laboratory, production and filling) and DFP2 Showroom & Packing at Via Pertini 1 (packing and showroom). You can visit them by appointment.
The first step
Tell us about your project
Everything starts with a meeting, in person or online, to get to know your brand and your ideas. You don't need to arrive with a finished plan.
