Why Starting a Perfume Business in Pakistan Is a Great Idea
Perfumes are a huge hit in Pakistan, and people love buying them all year round.
You don’t need a shop or big investment; you can start from home.
It’s flexible and beginner friendly.
Local sourcing keeps costs low.
High profit margins mean you can make good money even on a small budget.
Step 1: Items You Need to Start a Low Budget Perfume Business in Pakistan
Fragrance Oils – The Heart of Your Perfume
This is the main ingredient and where prices vary the most depending on quality:
You can find some oils for as low as 1,500 PKR per 100 ml (usually lower quality).
Medium quality oils are around 3,500 PKR per 100 ml, a good balance if you want decent perfumes that last.
Premium oils cost from 15,000 PKR or even more per 100 ml, these are long lasting, high quality scents.
Important: Don’t get tricked by sellers who charge high prices but deliver low quality. The same perfume oil brand name can be sold by different companies at different qualities. Once you find a good supplier, stick with them for consistent results.
Perfume Compound (Ethanol Base)
This is mixed with fragrance oils to make your perfume smell right and last longer.
It costs around 2,200 PKR per liter (ready-to-use compound).
For a 50 ml perfume bottle, you’d use roughly 17–18 ml of fragrance oil (about 35% fragrance oil ratio), the rest is the compound.
Some people use less fragrance oil to save money, but that makes the perfume smell weak and fade quickly.

Here’s roughly what you’ll spend on packaging for each bottle:
Empty Perfume Bottles (30 ml): from180 PKR per bottle (unbranded, simple bottles)
Empty Perfume Bottles (50 ml): from 220 PKR per bottle (most popular size)
Simple Unbranded Boxes: around 20–30 PKR per box (no branding to keep costs low)
Flyer Bags for Shipping: about 10 PKR per bag (for delivery)
