Fragrance ingredients cost less than 5% of a perfume's price, with packaging eating most of the budget. C2L Packaging in Spain makes custom bottles and jars, while Maine, a French manufacturer with 150 years of history, develops and produces the actual scent.
When it comes to the majority of perfumes on the market, the cost of the fragrance is actually less than 5% of the total cost of the goods. It's usually the packaging that's the most expensive part. Le Labo uses C2L Packaging or c2lpackaging.com to make their beautiful bottles. They're made in Spain and offer custom solutions for packaging. They'll cast your own bottle completely custom or allow you to use an existing one. I saw on their website that they also produce packaging like jars, vials, tubes, accessories, and makeup. When it comes to the perfume itself, Le Labo produces it at their labs, but Maine is a France-based manufacturer that is incredible at producing perfume. They've been around for over 150 years and it shows. They're experts in fragrance and can work with you to develop whichever scent you desire. With the combination of these two European manufacturers, you'll be able to turn around a very high-quality perfume.
