Why did the spice trade bring the biggest income in Europe?

With the opening of the Indian colonies, various spices began to be imported to Europe. The exotic product was very expensive, highly valued by buyers, and was in great demand. Due to the remoteness of India and the difficult sea route, traders could not meet the needs of consumers and the price of spices increased. Spices served not only as a tasty addition to products, but also contributed to their longer-term storage. Thanks to geographical discoveries in Europe, they began to produce perfumes based on amazing oils brought from distant lands.
