A diverse fragrance region with global reach.
The Asia-Pacific is one of the most diverse and dynamic fragrance regions in the world — fragrance plays a growing role in the lives of its people, cultures, and economies.
A region blossoming with scent.
From sandalwood in Australia and vetiver in Indonesia to jasmine in India and tea extracts in China, the region is home to some of the world’s most treasured fragrance ingredients. It is also a rising hub for innovation, manufacturing, and consumer demand — with vibrant markets and emerging trends shaping the future of fragrance.
As the region continues to grow, so does the importance of responsible regulation and sustainable practices. Governments and industry alike are exploring how to support development while safeguarding health, the environment, and biodiversity.
IFRA works with members and partners across Asia-Pacific to promote science-based Standards and share best practices that help ensure fragrance is used safely and sustainably — from field to formulation.
