CONTRABAND

We create perfumes that turn heads. Now, we're looking for someone with a nose sharp enough to lead that charge.

Position Overview:

Fragrance Evaluator

This role is for someone who understands that a top note is an entrance, a base note is a memory, and the space in between is where magic happens.

Responsibilities:

  • Evaluate & Curate

    : Assess fragrance samples with precision from formulation trials and production batches to competitor benchmarks.
  • Keep it Consistent

    : Ensure olfactory quality and stability across all formats, batches, and time.
  • Act as Our Nose

    : Translate brand stories and briefs into scent feedback that perfumers and product teams can work with.
  • Work with the Rebels

    : Partner with perfumers, R&D, creatives, and marketing to refine olfactive direction and brand DNA.
  • Guard the Signature

    : Be the internal authority on fragrance accuracy, quality, and Contraband's olfactive identity.
  • Sniff Out Trends

    : Stay ahead of industry trends, raw material innovations, and international fragrance movements then shape them for the Indian luxury market.
  • Bridge Art and Science

    : Collaborate with lab teams to troubleshoot formulation issues, aging, or unwanted scent drift.
  • Champion Sensory Experience

    : Design and lead internal sensory panels or consumer feedback sessions to validate fragrance profiles.

Requirements:

  • 5+ years of experience in fragrance evaluation, sensory science, or perfumery (preferably in luxury, niche, or premium fragrance).
  • Deep knowledge of fragrance families, raw materials, and how a scent evolves on skin, fabric, and time.
  • Strong documentation and communication skills: you can describe a scent better than a poet.
  • Passion for craftsmanship and a bold, Contraband-style aesthetic.
  • A sense of ownership. You care deeply about quality, detail, and creative excellence.

Nice to have:

  • Experience with

    IFRA standards

    , allergen regulations, or global fragrance compliance.
  • Exposure to

    perfume formulation

    , raw material sourcing, or QC testing.
  • Worked with or trained under a fragrance house or niche brand.
  • A creative side maybe you write, design, or just appreciate the art of scent storytelling.
