Perfume’s extremely personal nature has made it more than a care product – even an identity, or a status symbol. In an era of aura creation, smelling good consistently is a priority for a lot. The perfume industry is a tough place where you must not only maintain high quality and safety standards but also meet the olfactory expectations of the consumer. Here traditional quality inspection systems often fail to strictly adhere to safety standards such as maintaining product consistency, detecting errors in the formula, to complying with IFRA, REACH, and ISO 22716.
LookOver is an inspection management software that provides data-driven insights and organized quality monitoring to create flawless, high-quality, superior-performing perfumes.
Issues in inspection management in the perfume industry
1. Consistency and Purity
Maintaining that specific scent from pure ingredients is not an easy task. Across profiles and across batches a consistent scent is unavoidable for maximum customer experience. This is also dependent on the purity of the ingredients sourced. It has to be watched thoroughly to ensure it is not adultered.
2. Raw material variations
Natural ingredients like essential oils vary vastly from one vendor to another. Quality inspection software needs to be able to catch such variations and transfer the information to the supplier immediately. You can also get into trouble if the sources are not ethical and employ exploitative tactics.
3. Complying with international standards
Perfumes need to comply with national standards like FDA, EU, and IFRA. This gives legitimacy and aids in the international trading of perfume. Complying with standards is also essential in building a brand as it improves trust among consumers.
