Keva’s Acknowledgment Marks a Special Moment for Sri Lanka’s Fragrance Industry

Sri Lanka has taken another step towards making its mark in the global luxury market, this time in the world of fine perfumery. In a moment of national pride, Keva —one of the world’s largest and most influential fragrance manufacturers—has acknowledged a Sri Lankan perfume for its quality and craftsmanship.

With a legacy spanning over a century, Keva operates on a global scale, supplying fragrance compositions to some of the biggest names in beauty and luxury. The company has a presence in Europe, North America, India, and Southeast Asia, shaping the world’s olfactory landscape with its expertise in scent innovation and fine perfumery.

For a company of this stature to take note of a Sri Lankan perfume is a moment worth celebrating—a testament to the fact that Sri Lanka can create world-class luxury products capable of earning international recognition.

A Global Industry Leader Recognizes a Sri Lankan-Made Fragrance

During a recent meeting between Mr. Ramesh Vaze, Chairman of Keva, and Shaakir Buzrook, Co-Founder of Unbox Ceylon, Mr. Vaze personally experienced “Yara Ceylin”, a fragrance created by the Sri Lankan perfume house. After trying it, he extended his best wishes, acknowledging the dedication to quality and craftsmanship behind the scent.

The significance of this moment cannot be overstated. Keva has developed some of the finest perfumes in the world, working alongside leading global fragrance brands. For a Sri Lankan-made scent to receive recognition from such a powerhouse speaks volumes about the potential of the country’s fragrance industry.

“Unbox Ceylon has quietly been working towards creating something special, and this recognition from Keva is proof that Sri Lankan craftsmanship can stand alongside some of the best in the world,” an industry expert commented. “It’s encouraging to see a homegrown brand earn validation from a company that has been instrumental in shaping global perfumery for over a century.”

A Moment of Pride for Sri Lanka

While Sri Lanka is known for its rich heritage, natural beauty, and fine craftsmanship, the luxury fragrance industry has remained largely untapped—until now. The recognition from Keva signals that Sri Lanka’s perfume industry is ready to step onto the global stage.

This achievement is not just about one brand; it is a moment for the entire country to take pride in. Sri Lanka is now proving that it can produce high-quality, globally competitive fragrances.

The Future of Sri Lankan Perfumery

This milestone could be a turning point for Sri Lanka’s emerging fragrance industry. As the country moves towards establishing itself in the global luxury market, homegrown brands like Unbox Ceylon are showing that Sri Lanka is more than capable of creating world-class products.

With a strong commitment to quality, craftsmanship, and authentic storytelling, Sri Lanka is taking its first confident steps toward becoming a recognized player in fine perfumery.
