Why U.S. fragrance houses choose INTERESSENS

French savoir-faire,
U.S.-grade execution.

Crossing the Atlantic with a fragrance brand means navigating MoCRA, customs, and dangerous-goods regulations. We've built our process around it.

i

MoCRA-Ready Documentation

The Modernization of Cosmetics Regulation Act has changed what U.S. importers expect from European producers. We supply full ingredient lists, allergen statements, safety data sheets, and quali-quantitative formulas aligned with FDA facility registration and product listing requirements.

ii

Dangerous Goods Expertise

Eau de parfum is UN 1266, Class 3. We issue IMDG declarations for ocean freight, IATA forms for air, and ADR documents for European road legs — every form, every leg, prepared in-house and signed by INTERESSENS.

iii

Made in Grasse — The Real One

The Côte d'Azur fragrance heritage is a marketing asset few American houses can claim authentically. Our facility sits 30 minutes from the historic Grasse perfumery district — Made in France on every label, with the geography to back it up.

Frequently asked

Answers for U.S. founders.

Why a 500-bottle minimum per reference?
Below this volume, the unit economics of macerating, filling, and conditioning a finished EDP no longer match the level of finish we deliver. 500 bottles is the threshold where serious launches become viable — and where our process performs at its best.
Are you set up for MoCRA compliance?
Yes. We provide the full documentary package U.S. importers need to support their FDA facility registration and product listings, including INCI declarations, allergen lists per EU 2023/1545, safety data sheets, and quali-quantitative formulas. Final FDA registration is the responsible person's filing, but we provide every supporting document.
What are typical lead times for U.S. shipments?
Production: 4–6 weeks from confirmed order. Ocean freight Mediterranean → U.S. East Coast: 18–25 days. Air freight: 4–7 days. Total project timeline from brief to U.S. warehouse: typically 9–12 weeks.
Can you work with our chosen U.S. customs broker?
Absolutely. We can ship FCA (your forwarder takes over at our facility), DAP (delivered to your U.S. terminal), or DDP (door-to-door, all duties paid). HTS classification 3303.00.30 is documented on every commercial invoice.
Do you sign confidentiality agreements?
Yes. Every project starts with a mutual NDA before any formula, brand asset, or commercial detail changes hands. We never disclose client names on our website, in marketing, or to third parties without explicit written authorization.
