Crafting a signature scent is an art, but maintaining the integrity of that scent across every single bottle is a rigorous science. At BUNIQUE, our commitment to personalized luxury is backed by a comprehensive four-stage Quality Control (QC) framework.
Here is how we ensure that every custom fragrance meets our exacting standards before it reaches your vanity.
1. IQC: The Foundation of Purity
The journey begins long before the first drop is bottled. Incoming Quality Control (IQC) is our frontline defense. When raw materials arrive at our facility, they undergo strict verification:
Fragrance Oils: We use gas chromatography to ensure the chemical profile matches our high-purity standards.
Glassware: Every bottle is inspected for structural integrity, clarity, and the absence of micro-fissures.
Packaging: Even the boxes and labels are tested for color accuracy and finish, ensuring the tactile experience matches the olfactory one.
2. IPQC: Precision in Motion
As your custom perfume moves through production, In-Process Quality Control (IPQC) acts as our “real-time” watchdog. We don’t wait until the end to find a mistake; we monitor the assembly as it happens.
Filling Weight: High-precision scales ensure every bottle contains the exact volume promised.
Concentration Checks: We verify the ratio of oil to alcohol to ensure the sillage and longevity are consistent with your chosen formulation.
Sealing Integrity: Every pump and cap is tested to ensure an airtight seal, preventing evaporation and leakage.
3. FQC: The Master’s Review
Once the perfume is bottled and sealed, it enters Final Quality Control (FQC). This stage is dedicated to the “finished soul” of the product.
Batch-to-Batch Consistency: We compare the new batch against our “Gold Standard” library to ensure the scent notes haven’t drifted.
Visual Inspection: Specialists examine the bottles under high-intensity lighting to check for any particulates, scratches, or misalignment of labels.
4. OQC: Ready for the World
The final step, Outgoing Quality Control (OQC), focuses on the journey from our door to yours. A perfume is only as good as its condition upon arrival.
Durability Testing: We simulate the stresses of transit to ensure the internal packaging protects the glass from impact.
Logistics Readiness: Final checks are performed on shipping labels, batch codes, and regional compliance documentation to ensure a seamless delivery experience.
