Description: I am residing back in Miami Beach and am seeking to restart my personal fragrance company. I had it incorporated in Colorado while I worked for Dior however it was a conflict of interest so I had to terminate that business. It was quite lucrative and successful and what set me apart from the rest was that I create one scent for each individual and that formula was kept for them solely and only reproduced as requested. I have an extensive knowledge of scents and sourcing of exotic oils and all the components and believe that the product itself is the most important factor in success. Packaging and advertising is what drives the price of each product up and I do not wish to be another one hit wonder with my product. I create them in my home so I do not need any lab nor require labor to assist me as I take pride in my product and want to protect the clients privacy as well. Let me be brief about what advice or if you happen to know of anyone that may be interested in investing a small start up loan for me and my talents. The total I am seeking is $10,000USD to startup incorporate and purchase the oils, packaging and website to showcase the products to only a finite elite clientele. Luxury I believe has collapsed on itself and is spinning out of control and losing and burning through it's capital and also it is seasonal. Where my product is timeless and the sense of smell is our closest tie to memory. I have succeeded in the past and this is my passion. I was hired by Penhaligon's near Stanford but I do not believe that a fragrance boutique is necessary solely for fragrances as they are not purchased in bulk and they are available to everyone. My product will be a secured and invitation only website and design with the consumer able to answer a questionnaire regarding their personal tastes and I can create a scent that would be patented only to them exclusively. Offering a choice of packaging quantity and frequency of use. From travel size to home diffusers the client will be in control of their private selection. Here is an example of the last one I created. (URL removed) Warm regards, James Ontko (Phone # removed)
