Excellent value, with a broad range of aroma chemicals and high-quality naturals, especially Indian naturals like sambac, sandalwood, attar mitti, ruh khus, etc. European absolutes from Payan Bertrand, Robertet, etc. Delivery to Australia is fast, well priced and highly competitive.

I have been ordering from them for more than 2 years. Being from India, I initially doubted, but over time, after using the products, I have not been disappointed. It has been expanding the assortment to include naturals and many local versions of perfumery accords, such as different versions of oud, rose, or marine fragrances. The owner and his team will guide you if you explain what you are looking for, and the type of quality you want. They stock all the same products from the usual suspects like Firmenich, Givaudan, Albert Vieille, BASF, etc., and they are all fine. I work across multiple categories of perfumery products, from perfumes to home fragrance, and I would have had issues with polarity, or lack of projection, if the products were cut or diluted. Many materials solidify or become syrupy at room temperature, but not when cut.

If you know anything about chemistry, cutting raw materials requires a full setup to deliver functional results, which demands staff, labs, GC exams, and many rounds of testing across different categories; it's a big investment. Not to mention the cost and storage of the diluents you would use. Cutting products at the distributor level is impractical, especially if they have to cross borders. The financial loss in case of being caught is just not worth it. Bulk Aroma is a mid- to large-sized distributor that's quickly expanding. If they were smaller, I might have thought they cut products on a kitchen table, but as a larger organization, I doubt they would have the time or wish to spend capital doing so.
Their large assortment is not a kitchen-table operation; they respond to texts or emails at virtually any hour of the day or evening, they are upfront about current shipment and tariff costs, and they are very thorough in following up and tracking parcels.

For an aficionado just starting up perhaps the shipping costs are high because they now include tariffs, but for a mid-size business, or a pro who's been around for a few years, or if you have a business in which you need to stock core blenders, specific aroma chemicals, if you build your own fruity, floral or green accords, it's an excellent source.

I purchased around 24 items recently from bulkaroma under order #9510. Out of which aldehyde c16 and c14 are completely odorless. Since all other items I am using first time, so I can not confirm if they are legit.

This is the first time I found such issue with product from bulkaroma.

I ordered few samples of perfume oil which were exceptionally good and only thing missing is that immediate call support is not available. But they definitely reply for mails. Looking forward to order more in future.

Amazing products, way over the expectations. There was a small hiccup with the shipping, but that was resolved quickly. All in all great company

I had a very positive experience with Bulk Aroma. There is very little information available on forums like the diy fragrance forum on basenotes.com but enough people had a good experience that I decided to give them a shot. For my first order I stuck with the big brand names like Firmenich and Takasago -- some materials I liked more than my current stock some less. Nothing was adulterated/diluted/or contaminated in any way. The differences to my current stock are the usual variations by age and material lot, like I said some were better than my current stock some were not quite as good. This is not uncommon with aroma chemicals. For my next order I will be trying some of their very affordable materials made by generic manufacturers

Bringing a shipment from India to Brazil has been a huge challenge and very tiring. Even so, BULKAROMA and its team did their best to make it happen and make everything work out. So I recommend it!

Hello ,

Regarding Bulk Aroma I have a very unfortunate experience with them , I placed two consecutive orders on the website , it took for the first order around 10 days to ship my order via Fedex which is still stuck in India because the super unprofessional shipper (bulkaroma) did not provide the right documents , it has been 16 days and no response from them regardless the tons of emails that I've sent
The second order was never shipped !
The total amount is around 800$ , Conclusion : a scam-ish unprofessional website that you should never deal with.

They sell perfume raw materials at an attractive price, however, if there is any problem with the shipment, good luck with it. They sell from India, and they are not responsible at all for what may happen to the package. If unfortunately you have any problems with it, they will reply that from the moment they send it from there it is your responsibility for what happens to the package, they wash their hands of it. I lost my money and I advise you never to buy from them.
