NDA before the brief
The Lab Behind Every ELiX Product
Aroma Formulation Labs (AFL) is the perfumery and formulation laboratory behind ELiX, next door to our plant in Wrocław, Poland. Home of Odorano®, our patented odour-neutralising technology. A full stability and compliance programme, and a confidentiality regime that protects your brief and your project.
What Working With Our Laboratory Means
The basics before the detail: who does the development work, where the product is manufactured, and what leaves the building with it.
Own laboratory, own production
Formulation and manufacturing sit side by side in Wrocław — AFL at Skarżyńskiego 28, the plant at number 26. Fragrance compositions are developed at AFL; our BRCGS- and ISO 22716-certified plant turns them into finished products. Development is not subcontracted.
Made in the EU, documented
Every ELiX product sold in the EU is manufactured in Wrocław. Each leaves with the documentation its market requires: REACH and CLP classification, SDS, UFI/PCN notification support, IFRA compliance, and label claims checked against the standard each refers to.
Confidentiality from the first brief
The NDA is signed before a brief is sent — four written commitments below.
Confidentiality and intellectual property
Separated documentation
Client projects are documented separately and never cross-referenced between accounts.
Supplied fragrance stays yours
If you bring your own composition, we test and scale it. We do not reverse-engineer it.
Clear formula ownership
(nowe) — Formulas developed by ELiX remain ELiX property. Full regulatory documentation for your product is supplied with the production order.
What We Can Do for Your Product
Six kinds of work. Most projects combine two or three of them.
-
New formulation from a brief
Built to a defined scent profile, performance target, substrate and market.
-
Reformulation of an existing product
For new transport rules, IFRA amendments, restricted raw-material lists or new market requirements.
-
Carrier change
Between polymer, EVA, gel, liquid, cellulose and textile, with the effect on scent performance measured.
-
Testing a fragrance you supply
Stability, compatibility and behaviour in our carriers. We do not reverse-engineer it.
-
Compliance documentation
REACH and CLP classification, SDS, UFI/PCN support, IFRA compliance and label claims verified.
-
Scale-up to series production
Pilot line, then transfer of parameters to mass production on the same site.
Research Methods and Instrumentation
Six routines applied to every project. Five follow industry-standard methods, so they can be verified. The sixth is our own.
Organoleptic evaluation
A trained panel evaluates top, heart and base notes, before and after the stability programme.
Stability testing
Accelerated and real-time ageing in climate chambers: appearance, colour, separation, weight loss and scent profile.
Physicochemical analysis
Density, viscosity, pH, flash point, refractive index, water content.
Compatibility testing
Fragrance against carrier, and both against the packaging that will actually be used.
Standards and claims control
Every label claim checked against the norm it cites, before artwork is released.
Final production process control
A new formula or carrier is trialled at small scale on our own line before mass production.
What Our Lab Work Has Shown
Results of our own work that change how a product gets specified.
Hypoallergenic does not have to mean unscented
Hypoallergenic comes from ingredient selection, not from removing the fragrance. Every material is screened against known sensitisers, and the finished product is independently tested — as in our Amarella Hypoallergenic laundry scent booster.
Air and fabric are two different odour problems
Odour in the air clears in minutes, while odour bound in textile stays. A product that only masks the first will not solve the second. → link do Odorano®
Your signature scent, in every format
The same scent behaves differently in a spray, a gel, a polymer and a detergent. We adapt it to each base so it stays recognisably the same — the idea behind HIKARI Perfume Around You.
A formula that is stable both in Europe and India
Climate-chamber tests at the heat and humidity of the target market, from Europe to India and Nigeria
New IFRA limits change the formula, not the product
When an IFRA amendment tightens a limit, we adapt the formula so it keeps its character and stays compliant.
“We don’t treat the carrier as a bought-in part. If a product needs a carrier that does not exist yet, we build it.”

From Brief to Mass Production
Every product goes through the same five stages. Customers see it only after it has passed our own tests.
-
01
Product brief
What we make, for whom, and at what target quality and price.
-
02
Blind selection
A wide line of scent versions, narrowed to 4–6 in blind tests.
-
03
Use testing
The shortlist is tested in real use and refined where needed.
-
04
Formulation and validation
Formulated to the target quality level, checked against the brief and put through ageing tests.
-
05
Customer trials and decision
Samples are trialled with customers and the cost is checked against the target. Only then does a formula enter series production
“By the time a formula reaches our library, it has passed blind tests, use tests and ageing tests. The only question left is whether it fits your market.”
