Ensure consistency and market readiness for your fragrance line through our advanced analytical and testing protocols.
Mr. Suke established iMfragrance.com with a clear vision: to supply customers with the finest oriental aromatherapy essential oil raw materials. We are passionate about the power of scent and its wide-ranging applications in daily life and specialized products.
A. Analytical Duplication Process
We use Gas Chromatography–Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) to separate and identify the hundreds of individual volatile compounds and concentration ratios within the target scent.
Our perfumers leverage the GC-MS data to rebuild the formula using commercially available, IFRA-compliant ingredients.
The rebuilt scent is rigorously tested by expert evaluators to achieve the highest possible olfactory match to the original sample.
Confidentiality: We guarantee strict non-disclosure and IP protection throughout the entire analysis and formulation process.
Discontinued Scents: Recreating discontinued retail favorites.
Component Consistency: Matching a primary fragrance oil supplied by a different vendor.
Cost Optimization: Developing a high-performance alternative to an expensive ingredient profile.
Product Testing Services
Rigorous Stability & Compatibility Testing
Purpose: To ensure the fragrance oil maintains its olfactory profile, color, and function under various environmental conditions over time.
Accelerated Aging: Testing the product in heat chambers (e.g., $45^\circ\text{C}$ for 90 days) to simulate long-term shelf life.
Cold/Freeze-Thaw Cycling: Testing product integrity under extreme temperature changes.
Purpose: To verify the fragrance oil does not react negatively with the product base or packaging.
Base Compatibility: Testing for color changes, clarity, or separation in carriers (e.g., alcohol in perfume, wax in candles).
Packaging Integrity: Testing for interaction with plastics, lacquer, or pump components to prevent corrosion or failure (Leak Testing).
Section Title: IFRA & Regulatory Guarantee (IFRA 和法规保证)
Statement: All duplicated and tested formulas are guaranteed to meet the latest IFRA Standards and are provided with comprehensive documentation (MSDS, Allergen Reports) necessary for regulatory compliance in the EU and US.
Statement: Send us your sample and project brief to receive a confidential consultation on duplication feasibility and testing protocols.
F.A.Q.
Scent Duplication & Testing FAQ Article
A: GC-MS provides a highly accurate map of the chemical structure, allowing us to achieve excellent results. We can generally achieve a 95% to 99% olfactory match for most modern commercial fragrances. The final 1% often relies on our perfumer’s expertise to replicate trace natural extracts or unique aromatic nuances that may not register fully on the machine.
A: Yes, absolutely. Our primary directive is compliance. The initial GC-MS analysis only identifies the components; our perfumers then rebuild the formula using only IFRA-certified ingredients. If the original sample contains components now banned or restricted by IFRA, we will replace those components with compliant, safe alternatives to maintain the olfactory profile while ensuring legality.
A: Confidentiality and IP protection are paramount:
NDA (Non-Disclosure Agreement): We sign a comprehensive NDA before receiving any sensitive information or samples.
Internal Protocols: Samples are handled under strict internal protocols, limited only to the necessary lab personnel and perfumers.
Client Ownership: While we own the duplicated formula, we only release it to you for your exclusive use, as specified in our contract.
A: We perform Accelerated Aging Tests and Freeze-Thaw Cycling on the finished product. This is essential to:
Verify Shelf Life: Ensure the scent and product integrity remain stable over a typical 12 to 24-month period without breaking down or changing color.
Prevent Consumer Complaints: Guarantee the fragrance performs as intended when exposed to typical warehouse, shipping, or consumer bathroom temperatures.
A: Yes, this is highly recommended. We perform Compatibility Testing by filling the fragrance oil into your actual bottle, pump, and cap components. We monitor for:
Corrosion or Degradation of plastics or metal parts.
Leakage or Evaporation due to poor fitment or chemical reaction. This testing ensures your investment in packaging is protected and prevents costly product failures after launch.
A: The full process depends on the complexity of the original scent:
GC-MS Analysis & Initial Match: Typically 2-3 weeks.
Stability Testing: A standard accelerated aging cycle usually takes 6-8 weeks (simulating 12 months). We provide a clear project timeline upfront based on your sample’s complexity and your required product safety standards.
