Ciao Janita,
it is not so difficult in the sense that when you have smelled the good quality and you compare it with a lesser one on the strips it is so obvious.
The difficulty in fact is to reach to the best qualities. Few have them because they are rare, more difficult to sell at a right price because they are more expensive.
I learned as first thing when I started the trade that the most important thing is a reliable font for top quality raw material. Perfumery is like cooking, with low quality ingredients you will never cook anything good. Only very hungry people will love it. But the people of means and culture will not accept them.
Perfume is for the joy of the soul and people of noble soul will love only noble perfumes.
The problem is to be able to buy as near as the production as possible, for instance I buy citruses, mint, laurel and many others directly from the producer, when they have a top quality.
I got my civet from the farm, and all other products from the seller who bought directly from the producer. This means a huge company, from the 10 biggest in the world, which is a supplier for Unilever and l’Oreal.
The problem there is that you must spend reasonably large amounts of money, which may not be reasonable at all to you.
You saw from my site that we do not sell the raw material essences, keeping in stock what we need for one or 2 years to compose our perfumes, but when I make a stock, 2 or 3 times a year, I call a number of people (you also know some of them from the groups) whom I know that they are interested in these raw materials, and I propose to them very reasonable quantities at professional prices for the top quality.
The payment is done in advance and I add to my order the amount they want.
