What is Fragrance & Perfume Compliance Handbook?
Fragrance & Perfume Compliance Handbook is a fragrance compliance guide published by Phoenix Safety Consultants: 21 pages, £27.77, delivered as an instant PDF download.
Fragrance is the most heavily layered category in cosmetics. On top of the ordinary cosmetic rules sit the IFRA Standards that limit how much of a material you may use, and an allergen-declaration regime that is now splitting between Great Britain and the EU.
This handbook brings all three layers together in six short parts for anyone making or selling perfume, eau de parfum, body mist, solid perfume or scented body products on the GB market, including makers running a whole range of scents.
What does this fragrance handbook cover?
- Part 1 · Cosmetic, or not a cosmetic at all? Body fragrance versus home fragrance, and the concentration tiers.
- Part 2 · Two layers of fragrance control The IFRA Standards and the Cosmetics Regulation, and how both apply.
- Part 3 · Allergen declaration The declarable-allergen lists and how they have diverged between GB and the EU.
- Part 4 · Building a scent range Per-scent profiles, one base, and the trademark trap.
- Part 5 · Labelling, flammability & claims
- Part 6 · Crossing markets
- Back matter A pre-launch checklist, fragrance terms decoded, and official sources.
How to use this book
- Before a launch — check each scent against IFRA and the allergen rules.
- When adding scents — use the range-building part to plan profiles on one base.
- As a reference — keep the checklist and glossary to hand.
Legal position
- Great Britain: UK Cosmetics Regulation (retained Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009) and the Cosmetic Products Enforcement Regulations 2013.
- UK Cosmetic Claims Criteria (retained Regulation (EU) No 655/2013).
- IFRA Standards — the industry limits on fragrance materials.
The handbook is general guidance for information and education. It is not legal, regulatory or safety-assessment advice; responsibility for compliance rests with the Responsible Person.
