For over 20
years, we have been serving the fragrance needs of entrepreneurs,
national brand product manufacturers and everyone in between.
Custom Essence was founded by Felix Buccellato and Raman Patel.
Their unique blend of artistic talent and scientific knowledge
has earned them a reputation as two of the foremost developers
of fragrances and their applications. Their vision has been
to marry the world class perfumery expertise
and quality of the “Big 5”
with the service and attention
of a “boutique”.
Our creative and manufacturing
center is in Somerset, New Jersey, strategically
located between New York and Philadelphia.

Points of Differentiation
Expertise
- Natural Product Use: Our perfumers
have been responsible for the synthesis of some of the most
complicated natural fragrance oils in the world. This experience
gives us unparalleled skill in the evaluation of natural
product quality, and in creating fragrances that are “true
to nature”.
- Applied Fragrance Design: In addition to being artisans, our perfumers are all formally trained chemists as well. This enables us to optimize fragrance performance
and stability without sacrificing fidelity or character.
- Market Knowledge: Knowing what
people like is our forte. Our trend spotters and perfumers
work closely together to analyze, replicate, and extend the fragrance
accords of every major national and important niche brand.

Quality
- Creativity comes first: We
have an ingredient pallet that includes the latest specialty
chemicals and is significantly larger than most of our competitors’.
This allows us to develop fragrances that consistently stand
out and have that “wow” factor.
- Speed: Our average order lead
time is 3 days and getting even shorter!
- Consistency: A new 25,000 square foot
JIT manufacturing plant and rigorous quality control methods (including
organoleptic and gas chromatographic analysis) ensure that
you get the right and freshest fragrance every
time. A fully stocked application lab allows to us to test
and submit fragrances in a variety of products to accurately replicate
the consumer experience.
