Shannon's Journal Discussion

[Shannon]

I have in mind, currently, to make each fragrance in a 5 gallon batch per year, and offer it in 50 mL bottles.

A gallon is 128 ounces, and an ounce is 29.97 mL; therefore, a 5 gallon batch could fill as many as 383.616 bottles of that size.

Of course we have to consider various factors such as potential spillage, the amount of product that evaporates during filtration and bottling, the amount that is absorbed by filters or remains on the glass container from which it was poured, accidentally dropped or knocked over bottles. Let us therefore estimate 380 bottles of 50 mL/1.7 oz per fragrance per year.

It is likely that each bottle will be dated, serial numbered and possibly even signed by me by hand as a work of art, thus making it and/or the bottle it came in a collector's item.

That sounds like a good plan and I hope when you are able to release them, that I can buy myself a bottle.

We still have a ways to go yet on the back end and in creating the fragrances. There is sourcing bottles, designing bottles, buying the bottles and spray pumps, buying the machinery to crimp the sprayers onto the bottles, deciding how to label them, buying the labeling materials and/or equipment, packaging, designing labels and packaging, etc. etc. etc.
