Columbia Home Fragrance Market Overview,2030

The home fragrance market in Colombia has evolved as a reflection of the country’s deep cultural connection to nature, wellness, and vibrant sensory experiences, blending traditional influences with modern lifestyle aspirations. Colombian households have long incorporated natural scents into daily life, from the use of eucalyptus and guava leaves in Andean rituals to aromatic herbs in coffee-growing regions like Antioquia and Caldas.
