At Mysore Deep Perfumery House, we are passionate about crafting the finest incense sticks and fragrance products, bringing a touch of serenity and elegance into every corner of the world. As the assistant manager of International Business, my role not only involves overseeing the import of essential raw materials—like bamboo sticks, joss powder, and wood powder—but also navigating the globe to connect with clients, explore new markets, and discover what drives the global fragrance industry.

Over the past 24 months, I’ve had the incredible opportunity to travel to 24 countries, each journey enriching my understanding of the international market and deepening my appreciation for the diverse cultures and preferences that shape our industry. From the historic streets of Budapest to the bustling markets of Bangkok, each destination has offered unique insights and unforgettable experiences.

Here’s a glimpse into my global adventure:

– Europe: I’ve wandered through the charming cities of Hungary, the United Kingdom, Germany, Portugal, France, The Czech Republic, Romania, Georgia, Switzerland, Belgium, Austria, and Spain. Each country has its own distinct fragrance preferences and traditions, teaching me how regional nuances can influence scent preferences and product presentation.

– Asia: In China, Hong Kong, Thailand, Indonesia, Vietnam, Singapore, and Azerbaijan I discovered a profound respect for traditional incense practices and a growing interest in innovative fragrance solutions. Meeting with customers and suppliers in these dynamic markets highlighted the importance of adapting our offerings to meet diverse needs.

– The Middle East and Beyond: Saudi Arabia, UAE, and Turkey offered a fascinating blend of ancient traditions and modern luxury, showing me how cultural heritage and contemporary trends intersect in the fragrance industry.

– Oceania: In Australia and New Zealand, I was inspired by the natural beauty and unique preferences of these regions, which are increasingly shaping global fragrance trends.

–Scandinavia: Sweden stood out for its minimalist aesthetic and emphasis on sustainability, which has provided valuable insights into emerging trends that align with our values at Mysore Deep Perfumery House.

This journey has not only expanded my professional network but has also deepened my appreciation for the global tapestry of fragrance. Every meeting, every handshake, and every conversation has reinforced my love for this industry and my commitment to bringing the best products to our customers worldwide.

At Mysore Deep Perfumery House, we believe that understanding and embracing cultural diversity is key to crafting products that resonate on a global scale. My travels have been instrumental in helping us achieve this goal, and I am excited to continue exploring new opportunities, learning from each market, and ensuring that our incense sticks and fragrance products meet the highest standards of quality and innovation.

Thank you for joining me on this journey. I look forward to sharing more insights and experiences as we continue to grow and inspire with every scent we create.
