Why?

01

Laundry smell ritual

Greek households have long relied on softeners and finishing products to deliver a fresh laundry smell.

02

Retail follows habit

Scent beads fit that existing routine, so retailers stock what shoppers already reach for.

03

Smaller market range

Greece is a smaller market, so broader detergent innovation and range often arrive elsewhere first.

Who'd have thought.
