Job description

Perfumer: Senses International in Singapore

Senses International Pte Ltd 10 Tampines North Drive 4, Singapore 528553 Start Date11/04/2026

Full-Time

The Perfumer role is a full-time position with Senses International Pte Ltd in Singapore. The role develops fragrances across fine fragrance, personal care, home care, and fabric care applications. Senses International is a Singapore fragrance manufacturer at 10 Tampines North Drive 4, Singapore 528553. The employer works with bespoke fragrances and tests each batch with analytical equipment. The position suits an experienced fragrance creator who can turn an olfactory brief into a stable, compliant formula.

The perfumer works inside a fragrance company that values experimentation, new scent directions, and product performance. Singapore is the work location, and the role sits within the company's manufacturing and product-development operation. The position is listed without a stated salary or closing date.

• Role: Perfumer
• Employer: Senses International Pte Ltd
• Employment type: Full-Time
• Location: 10 Tampines North Drive 4, Singapore 528553

The perfumer creates scent formulas for more than one finished-product class. Fine fragrance, personal care, home care, and fabric care each place different demands on odor character, concentration, stability, and use conditions. A formula must retain its intended character when it enters the finished product rather than remaining only a promising laboratory sample.

Formula work begins with a brief and develops through repeated smelling, adjustment, and comparison. Perfumers combine top notes that introduce a scent, middle notes that give it body, and base notes that provide depth. A working formula records materials and proportions so later batches can be evaluated against the same target.

Evaluation And Laboratory Testing

The role joins creative judgment with laboratory work. The perfumer evaluates a formula by smell while analytical equipment helps the development team examine its composition and performance. Samples move through comparison and adjustment before a formula is ready for product use.

Senses International runs batch testing with advanced analytical equipment. Product testing connects the fragrance house with the brand or product team, because the scent must perform in the product category where customers will encounter it. A perfumer therefore records changes carefully and evaluates the formula in the intended product context.

Senses International works with custom fragrances and describes quality and product-safety controls across its manufacturing activity.

Safety And Fragrance Standards

The IFRA fragrance-making guidance describes formulation, olfactory evaluation, analytical support, and final safety screening as connected parts of development.

IFRA Standards set prohibitions, restrictions, and specifications for fragrance ingredients and define maximum concentrations by finished-product category. The standards are voluntary industry rules for IFRA members and do not replace national, regional, or local legal requirements. The producer remains responsible for product safety and compliance.

Experience With Scent Materials

A working perfumer needs a trained sense of smell and a disciplined way to compare materials. Professional perfumers spend years memorizing odor profiles and learning how ingredients change when they are combined, diluted, aged, or placed in a finished product. The role requires attention to balance, diffusion, persistence, and the relationship between a brief and a final formula.

Cross-category work also requires clear communication with evaluators, product developers, and manufacturing colleagues. A perfumer translates sensory observations into formula changes, records the result, and repeats the assessment under consistent conditions. Strong material knowledge supports decisions about alternatives when an ingredient conflicts with safety limits, supply conditions, or the product's intended use.

The worksite is 10 Tampines North Drive 4 in Singapore. Senses International's operation combines fragrance creation with manufacturing controls, so the role connects scent design to batch review and finished-product requirements.

The role's cross-category scope places fine fragrance beside personal care, home care, and fabric care briefs. Each brief calls for a separate reading of the product, its use conditions, and its safety limits.

Senses International's focus on custom fragrances gives the perfumer a product-development setting rather than a single-brand retail assignment. The successful applicant works with scent materials, formula records, analytical results, and the compliance decisions that move a fragrance toward manufacture.
