White label & OEM
White Label & OEM Perfume Manufacturing
Black Oud Factory offers three routes to a branded perfume: white label, where you brand an existing formulation and pack; OEM, where you bring the design and we manufacture it; and ODM, where we develop the whole product from a brief. Ready fragrances and twists start at 100 units per fragrance and per bottle size; fully custom fragrances and production to your own formula start at 1,000 units per fragrance.
The right route depends on how fast you need to launch and how distinctive the product must be. White label is quickest and cheapest; ODM gives you something nobody else sells. Most brands start white label, prove the market, then move to bespoke.
Which Route Fits You
White label
Choose a ready fragrance and a stock bottle, add your branding. Fastest path to market and the lowest development cost. From 100 units per fragrance and per bottle size.
OEM
We produce to your own formula, design and specification. From 1,000 units per fragrance.
ODM
We develop a fully custom fragrance, plus bottle, decoration and packaging, from your brief. From 1,000 units per fragrance; dedicated bottle moulds from 10,000 pcs.
What's Included
- Fragrance selection or bespoke development with two to four directions
- Bottle, cap and pump selection or dedicated mould tooling
- Decoration, labelling, boxes and inserts
- Filling, assembly and export-ready packing
- Specification sheet locking scent, fill, finish and carton for reorders
How Private Label Works Step by Step
Pick your scents
Shortlist ready fragrances from our library, or ask for a twist of one: stronger, sweeter, more oud or fresher.
Order samples
Sample development costs USD 200 for up to 10 fragrances and is deducted from your first production order. Samples take 10–15 days.
Choose the pack
Select a stock bottle, cap and pump, then add your label, decoration and box. Custom boxes start from 100 pcs.
Approve and produce
Once fragrance, packaging and artwork are approved, production takes about 15 working days.
Reorder the same product
A signed specification sheet locks scent, fill, finish and carton, so every repeat batch matches the first.

Our Process
1. Brief and quotation
Share product type, target market, volume and budget. You get a line-by-line quote covering juice, bottle, cap, decoration, box and assembly.
2. Fragrance development
Our perfumers build two to four directions from your brief, a reference scent or a chosen house accord.
3. Bottle and packaging
Pick from our stock bottle library or commission a dedicated mould, then approve dielines and 3D mockups from our in-house studio.
4. Sampling
Physical pre-production samples are couriered for approval. Nothing scales up until you sign the specification sheet.
5. Production and QC
Compounding, maceration, filling, capping and assembly, with batch COA plus leak, torque and colour checks.
6. Export and delivery
Palletising, export documentation and freight from the UAE to your warehouse.
MOQ & Turnaround
Minimum order quantity starts at 100 units per fragrance and per bottle size for ready fragrances and twists, and 1,000 units per fragrance for fully custom fragrances or production to your own formula. Production lead time runs about 15 working days after approval of fragrance, packaging and artwork (samples take 10–15 days) — small stock-bottle runs move fastest, while custom moulds, foiling and rigid boxes add tooling and finishing time. White label runs on stock components are the fastest route to a first delivery.
Quality Control & Documentation
- Certificate of analysis issued per production batch
- Leak, torque, fill-level and colour checks before packing
- Retained samples kept for every approved formulation
- Export paperwork prepared for customs clearance in your market
- One dedicated project manager from brief to delivery
