Latin America

Natural beauty, cultural richness, global relevance.

Latin America is a region rich in natural beauty, cultural expression, and aromatic heritage. From the forests of Brazil to the flower farms of Colombia, the region produces some of the world’s most prized fragrance ingredients — including tonka bean, copaiba, rose, and guaiac wood.

The fragrance sector here supports local livelihoods, from small-scale farmers to growing manufacturing hubs, and plays an important role in self-expression, tradition, and wellbeing in daily life.

IFRA LATAM represents the fragrance industry across Latin America, supporting responsible and sustainable growth through regional coordination and advocacy.

IFRA LATAM has its headquarters in São Paulo and represents IFRA in South and Central America.

Latin America: a thriving, sustainable fragrance market

A united voice for the fragrance industry in LATAM

IFRA LATAM works closely with national associations to strengthen the industry’s voice in a continuous growing market across Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, and Mexico.

These associations play a key role in promoting safe and innovative fragrance use, aligned with the IFRA Standards and global best practices, through the value chain and external stakeholders.

Driving sustainable growth in a diverse region

Latin America is a region of contrasts — from vibrant urban markets to remote sourcing regions — and faces important challenges around sustainability, governance, and fair development.

Through regional partnerships and adherence to IFRA’s global Standards, the industry is working to protect biodiversity, promote responsible sourcing, and strengthen the role of Latin America in the future of fragrance.
