How Tijon Fragrance Lab Compares

Frequently asked questions
Frequently Asked Questions
What do Tijon Fragrance Lab franchise owners earn?
No average owner earnings figure for Tijon Fragrance Lab is on file. Item 19 — where a franchisor may disclose what its outlets earn — is voluntary under the FTC Franchise Rule, and we have not established what this brand's FDD says. Item 20 of the FDD lists current and former franchisees; asking them directly is the standard way to fill this gap.
Who owns Tijon Fragrance Lab?
Tijon Fragrance Lab is franchised by Tijon Fragrance Lab Franchising, Inc.. Source: FDD Item 1, 2025 filing.
What is Item 19 in the Tijon Fragrance Lab FDD?
The FDD section where a franchisor may disclose financial performance of its outlets. Disclosure is optional and formats vary; figures are typically gross sales, which is revenue before expenses, not profit. FranchiseVerdict extracts these figures directly from the Tijon Fragrance Lab FDD and qualifies whose outlets they describe.
What is Tijon Fragrance Lab's franchise failure rate?
SBA 7(a) loan charge-off data is not available for Tijon Fragrance Lab (fewer than 10 loans on file). Charge-off rates are one way to gauge franchise risk, but not all franchise loans go through the SBA program. We recommend reviewing turnover and closure data in the FDD and speaking with current franchisees.
How many Tijon Fragrance Lab franchise locations are there?
As of their most recent FDD filing, Tijon Fragrance Lab has 3 total units in the United States.
Is Tijon Fragrance Lab a good franchise to buy?
FranchiseVerdict rates Tijon Fragrance Lab as a C-grade franchise with a verdict score of 39 out of 100 (higher is better). The grade is a deterministic score built from six weighted dimensions — financial health, unit economics, unit growth, scale, legal, and transparency — then calibrated against SBA loan charge-off rates and FDD age. Transparency is one of the six, so a filing that discloses less scores lower on that dimension than one that discloses more. Our rating is based solely on publicly available FDD and government data; we recommend speaking with current franchisees before making any investment decision. This is not investment advice.
