Classify the fragrance by product type and intended use
Products sold as perfume, cologne, body mist, scented personal-care products or fragrances for non-personal uses can differ in their intended use and presentation. Their names alone do not establish the regulatory classification or route.
Composition and product information
For an initial assessment, organize the product description, intended use, composition or formulation information, manufacturer or brand details, and available product specifications. The amount and type of information requested depend on the product classification and authority pathway.
Do not assume that a formula, concentration or fragrance format has a particular classification without checking the product and current rules.
Packaging and labelling information
Keep the retail packaging, label artwork, product name, directions and claims available for review. Packaging format and claims may help distinguish personal fragrance from other product categories. Applicable label content is determined by the relevant authority and product rules.
A product-specific pathway review
Describe the fragrance and its intended use
Clarify whether the product is intended for use on the body, in a space, or for another purpose, and identify its sales presentation.
Review available composition, pack and label information
Organize product and manufacturer information so the product category and potential authority route can be assessed.
Coordinate the relevant next steps
PrimeCore can assist with organizing documentation and coordinating a request where applicable. It does not issue government registration or conformity certificates.
Not necessarily. Classification can depend on intended use, product presentation, composition and claims. Confirm the category for the specific product and market.
Does one registration pathway apply to every perfume?
No. The responsible authority and applicable route depend on the product and current requirements. A Dubai Municipality / Montaji route should only be considered when the product falls within its scope.
What information is useful for an initial review?
Product type and intended use, composition information, packaging and label artwork, claims, manufacturer details and any existing product records can help frame an enquiry. This is not a mandatory checklist.
