About us
We supply the perfume. You build the business.
Aora is a bulk fragrance supplier. We hold the stock, keep the per-bottle price low, and stay out of the way of the people selling it — because the margin belongs to whoever does the selling.
Why we exist
Most people are one stockholding away from a business.
Selling fragrance is one of the few businesses you can start from where you already stand — a phone, a WhatsApp group, a stall, a salon chair, a car boot at month-end. The product sells itself once someone smells it. What stops people is almost never the selling. It is the buying.
Traditional wholesale asks for a company registration, a minimum order in the tens of thousands, a trade account, and a wait. That gate keeps out exactly the people who would be best at this: the ones with a customer list and no capital.
So we took the gate off. The smallest way in is 5 bottles for R600. No application, no monthly fee, no minimum term, no exclusivity. You buy a box, you sell it, you buy a bigger one — or you don't, and you owe us nothing.
How we work
Built around your margin.
One size, one price, no guessing
Every bottle in the range is 50ml. There is nothing to work out per scent and nothing hidden in the arithmetic: the price you see is the price you pay, and what you charge your own customers is entirely yours to set.
You choose the mix
A box is not a pre-packed assortment we decided for you. You pick every bottle in it, including several of the same scent — most resellers want ten of what moves and a few of the rest. Fixed boxes cap how many of any one scent you can take, so one large order can't strip a bestseller for everybody else.
Stock you can re-order
A reseller's worst outcome is selling out of the one scent their customers now ask for by name. We hold depth on the range rather than chasing novelty, so the bottle that built your repeat business is still here next month.
The price drops as you grow
Bigger boxes cost less per bottle. That isn't a loyalty scheme — it is simply what volume costs us, passed on. As your orders grow, your margin grows with them, and the tier you qualify for is worked out at checkout rather than negotiated.
The arithmetic
Run your own numbers before you spend anything.
The wholesale page shows what each box costs, what it returns at a typical retail price, and what you keep. Change the selling price to your own and the whole table updates. We would rather you did the sum first than found out afterwards.
Who this is for
First box or fiftieth.
Starting out
You have a following, a salon chair, a WhatsApp status, a market table — and no stock. Start with the smallest box, sell it, and put the takings into the next one. That is the whole plan, and it is enough.
Already trading
You are reselling now and the maths has stopped working: your supplier's price won't move, or the scent your customers ask for keeps going out of stock. Bring the volume here and the per-bottle price follows it down.
Straight dealing
No claims we can't stand behind.
We don't publish reseller counts or star ratings we cannot show you the working for, and we don't promise an income — what you earn depends on what you sell, and anyone telling you otherwise is selling you something other than perfume. What we will commit to is the price, the bottle size, and the stock being there.
Packaging
Shipped to be sold on.
Boxes are packed to arrive retail-ready, in recyclable kraft with each bottle protected, so what reaches your customer looks like it was worth what you charged. We reduce packaging where it doesn't cost you a broken bottle — never the other way round.
Start
Your first box is the whole beginning.
Pick a box size, choose your scents, and check out. No account application, no interview, no waiting to be approved.
