Northern Enterprise Awards 2025

Taking inspiration from the serene ambience at the heart of the forests and troughs of Bowland in the picturesque Ribble Valley, Purple Dragon Sensory Creations create innovative, high-quality fragrances that attract niche target audiences and hopefully “match their every desire”. From luxurious fine perfumes to heavenly soaps, candles, and many household products such as disinfectants and fabric softeners to pet deodorisers, PDSC’s specialist team blend technical excellence, utilising local and international market knowledge to craft a bespoke fragrance that tells a unique story. From concept to creation, PDSC is all about creating beautiful signature scents that take its clients’ reputations to the next level – an offering underscored by operating to ISO 22716 guidelines, an internationally recognised quality standard within the cosmetic, fragrance, and personal care industry. PDSC's process begins with discovering what the client is trying to achieve, by exploring their aspirations and converting these into an initial brief. Its technical team will use this, while drawing from their hundred plus of years of combined experience in global fragrance creation (particularly covering Europe, Middle East, and Far East trends) and utilising globally sourced natural raw materials to expertly craft a custom fragrance. From there, fine-tuning will take place, where they will ensure regulatory compliance, base compatibility, and complete customer satisfaction – amounting to a final fragrance that matches the client’s brief, and which hopefully goes beyond their wildest expectations. “Elevate your products with our fragrances.” Managing Director, Tony Fort, himself possesses more than 45 years’ experience in various roles within the fragrance and flavours industry. Prior to his current role of Managing Director at PDSC, he was Director of Logistics at Duckworth Flavours and Purchasing Manager at Fragrance Oils International. He says, “We understand that our customers are seeking a distinctive signature scent that will ensure the desirability, differentiation, and illustriousness of their products. We bring creativity together with market observation, local and international knowledge, and of course, technical excellence to ensure their appeal to all customers, wherever they are. All we ask is dialogue and a clear brief. Tell us what you like and don’t like. Unlike the majority PDSC do not stick rigidly to minimum order quantities and we are prepared to hold underwritten stock for clients to ensure fastest possible turn round time. We can match but we prefer to create. Matching is time consuming and can quickly become a ‘zero - sum end game’. Also, we prefer not to waste valuable development time matching a fragrance when the intention of the buyer is merely to reduce the incumbent suppliers current price. We won’t fob you off with something close (if you’re lucky) to what you want. With complete honesty we might suggest we already have something that fits your bill. Otherwise, we will create something that does. We pride ourselves on the personal touch. If you call you won’t get passed from pillar to post, never speaking to the same person twice. You will speak directly to me. I am involved at every stage; creation to scale -up, manufacturing, quality control and delivery.” Ultimately, it is easy to see how Purple Dragon Sensory Creations has come to be named Best NEW Nationwide Fragrance Compounding House 2025, with its world-class, entirely bespoke offering that goes above and beyond the expectations of clients. We conclude with a piece of feedback from a delighted client: “Purple Dragon have been fantastic at providing us with bespoke fragrance oils. Working with us to make scents that work perfectly in our soy candles and also helping us through the process of coming up with new seasonal product ideas. Very knowledgeable about the fragrance industry and the ingredients behind every fragrance oil. Our customers love these fragrances.” If you use fragrances in your manufacturing process and wish to elevate your products’ fragrances, visit the company website or get in touch.
