Home fragrance sourcing from India.
India is a growing global origin for private-label home fragrance — reed diffusers, room sprays, scented sachets, premium incense, and solid balms. Asia Sourcing supports development with IFRA-compliant fragrance houses in Noida and Delhi, retail packaging, CPSC and EU compliance, and consolidated export documentation.

Fragrance development is a programme, not an SKU
Fragrance development typically runs 4-8 rounds — the first round is a scent-direction fan, subsequent rounds are refinement, the final round is IFRA documentation and allergen declaration. Buyers often underestimate the time: a bespoke diffuser fragrance takes 10-14 weeks from brief to first PPS production. We lock the fragrance brief and the retail timeline on day one so launches don't slip.
Hazmat routing
Room sprays and some diffuser bases are classified as limited-quantity hazmat under IATA / IMDG. We handle the full UN3334 / UN1197 flashpoint and quantity declaration, consolidate hazmat shipments onto suitable vessels only, and attach the SDS and transport-emergency-contact sheet with every PO.
