6. INTRODUCTION
Marketing is a social process where in people interacts
with others, in order to persuade them to act in a
particular way, say to purchase a product or a service.
Marketing helps the consumers to obtain what they
want according to their needs. On the part of the
marketers, the effort involves creation of a market
offering. Marketing facilities exchange of products and
services for money or something considered valuable
by the people. Marketing focuses on the satisfaction of
customers need.

8. Why I have Selected This
Product
Perfume is for everyone, young and old because
perfume is one of the important products used in our
daily life. From younger to older and men to women
everyone likes to use the perfume of their choice.
Perfume reflects the nature and personality of the
person, therefore, it must be chosen wisely. Perfumes
of different types and fragrance are available for
different occasions and events. It is one of the most
loving gift items among the masses and therefore the
gift packaging of perfume is of utter importance. The
human remember 35% of what smells and 5% of what
you see. If you want to be always perfect, from
head to toe, it is preferable to choose a fragrance for
the day and another for the night, or you can even
choose one for every occasion, but recalls that the

9. perfume is part of your personality and so always uses
that make you feel fantastic!
The production and manufacturing of perfume is also
not easy but it can make more profit. It requires
particular license or permission for producing the
perfume.
It is mandatory to get license in all the sectors.
Obviously at the end there is a quality check which is
again mandatory in all goods often their production.
Thus manufacturing of perfume is preferred as many
legal restrictions are imposed and has mass and
growing demand for them.
