Floral

Floral fragrances are one of the most iconic and widely used categories in perfumery, celebrated for their soft, elegant and romantic character. Inspired by flowers such as rose, jasmine, lily, lavender and peony, they can range from fresh and delicate to rich and opulent. Floral accords often form the heart of a fragrance, bringing warmth, femininity and timeless appeal to both fine fragrance and everyday scented products.

Leather

Leather fragrance notes in perfumery have been around for thousands of years. This ancient and much-loved scent is constantly being reinvented. The last few years have seen a re-emergence of leather notes within fragrance creation. Leathery notes can differ vastly from one another, ranging from smoky, woody and floral to tobacco scents. Perfumers today have a range of synthetic chemicals that are able to create a natural leather odour.

When blended with different elements, however, leather can assume either a lighter, gentle and more delicate feminine guise or deeper, stronger, dominating masculine accent.

Citrus

Citrus is a vibrant fragrance category known for its zesty, energetic and uplifting character, often associated with freshness and positivity. It includes fruits such as lemon, lime, orange, grapefruit and clementine, as well as aromatic materials like bergamot, lemongrass and verbena. These bright, sparkling notes are widely used to bring freshness to fragrances, adding lightness when blended with deeper accords or enhancing complexity and elegance in fine fragrance compositions.

Aromatic

Aromatic fragrances are a fresh and invigorating category in perfumery, characterised by herbaceous and spicy notes. Built around ingredients such as lavender, rosemary, sage and thyme, they often convey a clean, natural and energising feel. Commonly used in both masculine and unisex compositions, aromatic accords add freshness, depth and sophistication to a wide range of fragrance creations.

Amber

Amber is a classic and complex fragrance category in perfumery, valued for its rich, warm and often mysterious character. It can also refer to a specific fragrance note found across many scent types, including perfumes and aftershaves. Amber accords are frequently blended with other fragrance families, such as floriental compositions, to create deeper and more distinctive scent profiles.

Wood

Woody fragrances are a warm and versatile category in perfumery, known for their rich, natural and grounding character. Built around notes such as sandalwood, cedarwood, vetiver and patchouli, they often evoke a sense of depth, warmth and sophistication. Commonly used as base notes, woody accords add structure, longevity and balance to fragrances, making them a key component in both fine fragrance and functional scent compositions.

Fragrance application FAQs

Carvansons works with you to create and manufacture bespoke fragrance compounds for use in your products.

Please note: Carvansons create fragrance oils. We DO NOT create a finished perfume/eau de toilette product.

Can you provide advice on the best perfumes for my product?

Yes, we are experts at supporting customers with fragrance selections. With over 80 years of experience, we have extensive knowledge about fragrance development, choosing the right scents for your product type and how you can create a signature scent that sets your product apart. 

What fragrances are suitable for skincare, beauty and personal care applications?

Selecting fragrance for skincare and personal care products can be complex. We are happy to provide advice and guidance on skincare fragrances, to ensure the scent you select is fit for its intended use. We are able to provide allergen-free and skincare-specific fragrances and we can also re-formulate and adapt fragrances to make them suitable for skincare and personal care uses. 

Do you have a brochure of scents?

We have an extensive library of fragrances and as a specialist in bespoke fragrance creation, we are constantly developing new fragrances. As a result, we are unable to offer a brochure of our fragrances.However, this does mean if we don’t already have a fragrance you require, we can easily create it. We are also able to work from a customer brief or provide a selection of suitable options that you may wish to consider.

What is fragrance oil made up of?

Fragrances can be;

  • Fully natural, made using essential oils
  • Created using only synthetic aromatic materials
  • A blend of both essential oils and synthetic aromatic materials.

Most fragrances tend to be a mix of essential oils and synthetic aromatic materials however whichever option you choose, we can always formulate or recommend capabilities to a specific brief and IFRA requirements.

Can you trademark a fragrance?

Technically, yes, you can trademark a smell, however, it is rare to do so as you will have to provide and publish a full list of all the fragrance chemicals and components included in the scent. As a result, this then could be found by competitors or those wishing to replicate the scent and as a result, they would only need to change one small element and the scent could in theory be confirmed as a brand new scent.

Can you provide fragrance descriptions?

Carvansons Ltd can offer fragrance triangles upon request of any fragrances and can we also advise on how you can describe your fragrance for use in your own marketing.

How long does it take for my fragrance(s) to be manufactured?

The fragrances we create are made to order and as a result, take time to manufacture. This ensures that the product is specifically created for your order and ensures that the product maintains it’s potency for the maximum length of time. We aim to manufacture orders within 10 working days from order confirmation or receipt of payment if you are on pro-forma invoice.

Please note this is only a guide and is subject to change due to the availability of raw materials and other mitigating factors.

How do I track my order?

You can track your order by getting in contact with our sales team at sales@carvansons.co.uk

Do you do returns?

Due to fragrance formulations being specific to product types and requirements we do not operate a returns policy. If you believe there is a problem with the goods upon receipt of an order, please contact sales@carvansons.co.uk within 7 days from the delivery date and we will raise an investigation.

We can only accept returned goods if we are satisfied that those goods are defective. Our full terms and conditions are available by contacting our team.
