Yes. Item 182 of Appendix IV to the Law on Investment 2020 (as amended and supplemented by Law No. 57/2024/QH15, effective from 01/01/2025) lists “cosmetic manufacturing” as a conditional investment business line. Under Clause 1, Article 3 of Decree 93/2016/ND-CP, a cosmetic product is a substance or preparation coming into contact with external parts of the human body for cleaning, perfuming, changing appearance, adjusting body odor, etc. — perfume is a cosmetic product. Therefore, perfume manufacturing must satisfy the conditions and be granted a Certificate of Eligibility for Cosmetic Manufacturing before operating.

The Certificate is granted where: the manufacturing facility applies for the Certificate; a certified facility relocates its production site; or a certified facility adds production lines beyond those already certified (Clause 1, Article 6 of Decree 93/2016/ND-CP). Where the Certificate is lost or damaged, a re-issuance procedure is carried out.
