Full-Time

Eurofragance's Senior Fragrance Development Manager / FDM role covers fine fragrance development in Mumbai, India. The role leads proactive and reactive projects for the Indian fine fragrance market. Eurofragance assigns the position to its Development department.

The manager evaluates fragrance ideas against client briefs, category plans, and commercial objectives. The work includes fine fragrance library development, support for Perfumers, and client presentations with Sales teams. The role also tracks timelines, quality, and internal alignment across a project. Employers advertise fragrance jobs across creation, development, analysis, and technical perfumery, while this Mumbai position focuses on the Indian market.

• Role: Senior Fragrance Development Manager / FDM, Fine Fragrance Category

Applicants prepare a resume that names fine fragrance projects, client brief work, Perfumers collaboration, and market-facing presentations. The role calls for a Chemistry, Chemical Engineering, or Perfumery degree, at least 10 years of fragrance development experience, and fluent English and Hindi.

Fine Fragrance Projects In Mumbai

The manager turns client briefs into development work that follows category strategy and commercial objectives. Each project requires a recommendation on the fragrance submissions that match the brief parameters, market needs, and olfactive direction. The position also keeps the local fine fragrance library current and connects it with the library work of Eurofragance headquarters.

Project ownership runs from early direction through internal alignment. The manager monitors timelines and quality while coordinating with Sales, Marketing, Perfumers, Creation and Development, Innovation and Technology, Regulatory, and the FDM team. Client presentations form part of the commercial work, so the role connects technical judgment with clear explanations of fragrance choices.

• Lead proactive and reactive fine fragrance projects.
• Evaluate developments against market and brief requirements.
• Recommend submissions for olfactive direction and product goals.
• Create, maintain, and upgrade the local fine fragrance library.
• Present fragrance work with Sales teams.

Indian Fine Fragrance Market Knowledge

The role develops detailed knowledge of the Indian fine fragrance landscape and its competitive products. Market knowledge informs collection development, concept work, and the selection of fragrances for client presentations. Marketing collaboration adds consumer and olfactive trend information to the development process.

Fine fragrance judgment depends on product category, intended use, client objectives, competitive references, and the direction established by the Perfumers. The position also guides Perfumers during development when a project needs additional category or market context.

Cross Functional Work And Technical Boundaries

Eurofragance's development work connects creation, analysis, technical perfumery, commercial planning, and regulatory review. The manager's cross-functional contact keeps a client brief connected to the people who evaluate, modify, present, and prepare a fragrance for the market. Internal alignment prevents a strong olfactive idea from moving ahead without the required commercial and technical decisions.

The IFRA Standards define a globally recognized risk-management system for fragrance ingredients. They can prohibit or restrict materials and set conditions for finished-product use. Fragrance development teams work within those safe-use boundaries, while national and regional regulations remain separate obligations.

Eurofragance's International Fragrance Network

Eurofragance was founded in Barcelona in 1990. The company has 450 employees across 12 countries, and its fragrances reach more than 70 countries. The international fragrance operations include creation, development, analysis, and technical perfumery.

The company operates with a Perfumery Academy and an FDM Academy. Its technical environment includes gas chromatography mass spectrometry equipment, customer relationship management software, and compounding robots. The Mumbai role sits within this wider training and development network.

Development Work With Global Reach

The manager works with headquarters teams to strengthen the local fragrance library and keep Indian fine fragrance work connected to global resources. Collaboration extends across international offices in Dubai, Singapore, Mexico, Turkey, India, and other locations. The role therefore combines local market knowledge with a network that spans several fragrance markets.

Eurofragance provides continuing professional development through five core competencies and individual learning initiatives. High-potential employees may take part in strategic projects with experienced colleagues. Medical and dental insurance, special prices on perfumes, and structured time-off policies are listed among the company's employment benefits.

Fine fragrance development involves repeated blotter evaluation, dosage decisions, stability review, and documentation before a concept becomes a finished product. Those technical steps sit beside the brief and market decisions assigned to this role.

Client presentations require concise explanations of why a formula meets an olfactive direction and a product brief. That communication connects a fragrance library, a Perfumers team, and a commercial decision.
