India's Growing Luxury Perfume Market and South India's Traditional Incense Heritage
India's fragrance market is evolving with a growing demand for luxury and niche perfumes alongside traditional incense products. While India supplies key ingredients to global perfume houses, domestic luxury brands remain limited, though niche boutiques like Scentido and international labels are expanding. Concurrently, South India's rich incense heritage, exemplified by family-run producers like Suresh Agarbathi Works, emphasizes natural ingredients and spiritual significance, reflecting a deep cultural connection to scent across communities.
