Perfume Redefined: How The Saltworks Company Selects Its Ingredients

The luxury fragrance market is evolving, and The Saltworks Company distinguishes itself through careful ingredient selection. Established in October 2022 by Patrycjusz Kamionka, the boutique brand has gained attention for its premium, sustainably sourced materials.

"Our goal was to bring a fresh perspective to perfume making," says Patrycjusz Kamionka. "We focus on producing fragrances with rich concentrations—known as Extrait de Parfum— containing 25-30% perfume oil in each bottle, while most traditional brands use just 12-20%."

Sourcing Premium Raw Materials

Behind The Saltworks Company's growth lies its rigorous approach to sourcing materials. The brand sources premium fragrances from Grasse, France, a region long recognized as the global center of perfume creation.

"Quality ingredients are fundamental to everything we do," Patrycjusz Kamionka says. "We study the scent profile of each element and how it blends with others as the fragrance evolves on the skin. This attention to detail gives our perfumes their signature depth and lasting power."

Quality Assessment and Sustainability Evaluation

Every raw material goes through strict quality testing to meet the brand's high standards. This includes both laboratory analysis and assessment by skilled perfumers.

"We test each component alone and in different blends," says Patrycjusz Kamionka. "This approach helps us create balanced fragrances that capture what our brand represents."

The Saltworks Company also reflects its commitment to sustainability in its sourcing decisions. "Our products rely entirely on plant-based waxes and natural base materials," adds Patrycjusz Kamionka. This approach shapes both the brand’s scents and packaging choices.

The brand selects materials based on both their premium quality and environmental impact. It works with suppliers who use responsible growing practices and back initiatives that promote diverse plant cultivation in perfume ingredients.

Concentration and Formulation

The evaluation process determines how much of each element goes into the final blend. "Creating an Extrait de Parfum requires perfect proportions," says Patrycjusz Kamionka. "We adjust each ingredient's levels until we find the right intensity and staying power."

This phase involves extensive testing and adjustments, making sure each scent stays true to its design from the first spray to the lasting impression it leaves behind. Recognizing the importance of this evolution in fragrance perception, The Saltworks Company introduced a practical option: sample sets. These sample sets allow customers to explore the collection at home, learning how each fragrance evolves throughout the day.

"The sample sets show how our ingredients work together," says Patrycjusz Kamionka. "Trying the fragrances in their own environment helps customers understand the craftsmanship behind each scent."

Continuous Ingredient Excellence

The Saltworks Company stands out in luxury fragrance through its distinctive sourcing approach. Focusing on premium, sustainable materials represents a new direction in perfumery that balances quality with environmental care.

"Our ingredients tell stories," says Patrycjusz Kamionka. "Each choice reflects our values— from quality to sustainability to individual expression. We want to deepen people's connection with fragrance, making it more personal."

Today's consumers want to know precisely what they are buying, and The Saltworks Company is redefining industry standards through its open approach to perfume creation. While much of the perfume world keeps its methods private, its transparency points to a future where traditional craftsmanship and modern values align.
