How to Make Money with Fragrances in South Africa
Whether you’re looking for a side hustle to supplement your income or dreaming of building your own fragrance business, selling perfumes is one of the most underrated (and profitable) opportunities out there. The best part? You don’t need a retail store, a massive budget, or even a background in beauty.
At Redefined Fragrances, we’ve made it easy for South Africans to start earning from the booming fragrance industry—either by reselling our designer-inspired scents at a discounted rate, or by becoming an affiliate and earning commission online.
Let’s break it all down.
Option 1: Become a Reseller
If you enjoy face-to-face selling, own a boutique, or simply want to sell to friends, colleagues, and family—this is a great starting point.
How It Works:
-
Purchase fragrances from us at discounted wholesale prices.
-
Resell them at your own price (we recommend R185 per bottle depending on your market).
-
Keep 100% of the profit. No commission split or hidden costs.
Why It Works in South Africa:
-
Imported designer fragrances are expensive—often retailing at R1,000 or more.
-
Our scents are inspired by premium brands but cost a fraction of the price.
-
People love to smell good while saving money, especially with the rising cost of living.
Ideal For:
-
Students looking to earn extra income
-
Salon or boutique owners
-
Stay-at-home parents
-
Side hustlers who want control over pricing and stock
Option 2: Join Our Affiliate Programme
If you’re more into digital marketing or want to earn passively through your content and network, our Affiliate Programme is for you.
How It Works:
-
Sign up for free and receive your own unique discount code.
-
Share your code with your audience, friends, or clients.
-
When someone uses your code to shop, they get a discount—and you earn 5% commission on every sale.
Example:
If someone buys a fragrance for R299 using your code:
-
They receive a discount at checkout.
-
You earn 5% of R299, which is around R15.
-
If 10 people use your code, you’ve made R150 without lifting a finger.
Where to Share Your Code:
-
Instagram and TikTok
-
WhatsApp status or groups
-
Facebook Marketplace or community groups
-
YouTube, blogs, or email newsletters
Can I Do Both?
Yes, absolutely. Many of our top earners both resell in person and promote their affiliate code online. This way, you earn from physical sales and digital referrals at the same time.

-

-
Inspired by your favourite designer brands

No monthly targets or complicated contracts

Local shipping across South Africa
