Send swatches and assign a sample owner
List the actual target fabrics and colors and provide swatches where available. Include any finishes or care treatments your textile supplier identifies. Give the fragrance team a reference scent and a description of the intensity you want to review. Assign one person to track sample IDs and confirm whether each bottle, actuator and liquid is the proposed configuration or an interim option.
Compare observations on the agreed swatches
Before comparing candidates, agree on the observation conditions with your reviewer. Use comparable swatches and document the way the sample was dispensed. Note the fabric, product reference, spray assembly and evaluation time with every observation. Separate comments on the scent from comments on appearance or dispensing. If the final actuator changes, schedule another review for the revised combination.
Write the quote around the approved assembly
Request line items for the selected fill, bottle, actuator, cap, labeling and cartons, with quantities by destination. Include any expected swatch, packaging or artwork revision still in progress so each quote lists the assumptions on which it depends. Ask for the destination and transport documents that apply to the selected product. Record which documents, order terms and pack-out details still require confirmation.
- List the liquid sample and each packaging component reference.
- Review the commercial quote against the actual sample before order approval.
