Why manufacture your fragrance line in Italy
Italian fragrance manufacturing is built on the same supply chain that serves the European luxury houses: Murano-grade glass, thick-wall flacons, weighted caps in wood, metal and resin, offset and screen printing on glass, rigid boxes and finishing. Grasse gave perfumery its raw material tradition; Italy industrialised the craft around design, packaging and small-batch precision.
Kerau works inside that supply chain but sells it in small quantities. A brand founder in Dubai, Riyadh, Shanghai, Singapore or New York can order 50 bottles of a genuinely Italian-made eau de parfum, with European documentation, instead of committing to a container from a mass producer.
- Full traceability: production, filling and labelling take place in Italy, under EU cosmetic and chemical regulation.
- Honest origin: every product is Made in Italy. We never label goods with another country of origin.
- Fragrance oils from established European and Grasse-tradition houses, IFRA compliant.
- Glass, caps, collars, boxes and print finishes selected from a European component catalogue.
What we manufacture
- Eau de parfum and extrait de parfum: high-concentration formulas (up to 25-30% for extrait), filled into 30, 50 and 100 ml flacons.
- Scented candles in glass: 200 g and larger formats, soy and vegetable wax blends, adhesive labels or direct print on glass, wood or metal lids.
- Reed diffusers: 100-500 ml, fibre or rattan sticks, customised collars and caps.
- Room sprays: 100 ml and 200 ml, for hotels, spas and retail scenting.
- Gift and welcome kits: rigid boxes, drawer boxes, tubes, trays and magnetic cases, printed with your artwork.
Low MOQ: 10 pieces, and why that matters
Most European and Asian factories quote minimums of 3,000 to 10,000 units per SKU. That forces a new brand to gamble its entire launch budget on an untested scent. Kerau starts at 10 pieces per product, so you can test a concept, produce a press kit, serve one hotel property or run a limited edition before scaling.
Pricing scales with quantity and is fully visible in our online configurator: you see the unit price, the total and the production calendar before you talk to anyone.
Bespoke formulation with a perfumer
Choose from our fragrance library for the fastest route to market, or commission an exclusive formula developed by our perfumer: briefing, olfactory pyramid, trials, adjustments, maceration and filling. A bespoke formula takes around two months. Development is €500, plus €350 for the bulk. Optional perfumer consultancy is €300. A prototype kit is €500 and a sample set is €200.
EU compliance and export documentation, included
Regulatory work is the part that quietly kills small fragrance projects. We handle it in-house and include it in the displayed price.
- CLP-compliant labelling, hazard statements, UFI code and PCN notification for the European market.
- IFRA-compliant formulation and certificates of analysis on request.
- Safety data sheets, technical data sheets and ingredient declarations for customs and distributors.
- Export documentation support for Saudi Arabia (Saber platform / SASO conformity), the UAE and the wider GCC, plus commercial and origin paperwork for Asian and North American importers.
- Dangerous goods classification and compliant packing for alcohol-based fragrances shipped by air or sea.

Frequently asked questions
What is the minimum order quantity?
10 pieces per product. There is no hidden tier that quietly raises it.
Do you ship outside the European Union?
Yes. We regularly prepare shipments for the Gulf, Asia and North America, with the customs, origin and safety documentation each destination requires, including Saber / SASO conformity support for Saudi Arabia.
Can you produce high-concentration extrait de parfum for the Middle East market?
Yes. We produce concentrations up to extrait level, with oud, amber, leather, saffron and incense accords, in heavy-glass flacons with weighted caps and rigid boxes.
Is the product really made in Italy?
Yes. Formulation, filling, labelling and finishing take place in Italy. We state the real country of origin on every document and never label goods as made elsewhere.
How long does production take?
Around 10 to 14 working days for a library fragrance, depending on packaging and quantity. A bespoke formula takes roughly two months including perfumer trials and maceration.
Do I need to speak Italian?
No. Our export desk works in English, and we also assist clients in Arabic and Chinese.
