WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN IDENTICAL, INSPIRED & ECONOMY QUALITY OF RAW AROMACHEM?
Share
IDENTICAL
In this range, we achieve a match of more than 90% with the original fragrance. We use the same raw materials as the reference, and we replicate not just the top note, but also the middle (heart) and the dry-down. So the evolution of the scent — from first spray to base — aligns very closely with the original.
Longevity ≈ 10–14 hours; strong projection.
Choose IDENTICAL when:
• You’re supplying a client who is making a premium parfum or eau de parfum and wants high performance.
• The seller’s brand demands top-tier longevity and projection, a near-exact match in top, middle and base notes.
⸻
INSPIRED
Here the match is around 50–60%. We capture the character and familiar feel of the original but remove expensive chemicals in order to control cost. Some key molecules are replaced with more economical alternatives (often sourced from Chinese or other lower-cost suppliers). The vibe is recognizable, but the formula diverges in the mid- and base-notes compared to the original.
Longevity ≈ 6–8 hours; moderate projection.
Choose INSPIRED when:
• The client is making a mid-range fragrance line (body spray, mid-price parfum) where cost and performance must balance.
• They want a familiar scent “feel” but are willing to compromise somewhat on the exact heart/dry-down and use cost-effective substitutes.
• Longevity and projection are moderate, and the pricing needs to appeal to a broader segment.
• Example use: mass-market private label, brand launching an “inspired by” collection.
⸻
ECONOMY
In this range, we focus on a top-note resemblance only. All or almost all of the expensive ingredients are removed. The heart and dry-down are significantly simplified or changed — the result gives the immediate impression of the reference scent, but longevity, depth and evolution are reduced, and the formula is built for cost-sensitive applications (e.g., candles, soaps, low-cost sprays).
Longevity ≈ 4–6 hours; light projection.
Choose ECONOMY when:
• The application is volume-driven and cost sensitive — e.g., candles, soaps, home-care or promotional sprays.
• The buyer is fine with a resemblance in the top note only; deep heart/dry-down performance and strong projection are not critical.
• The goal is high throughput, low price point, and acceptable scent performance for non-premium
