While completing her MBA at the prestigious Columbia University she caught the entrepreneurial spirit that would later help her to materialize her love for fine perfumery. She worked alongside the best in the world of luxury fragrance craving an experience that would allow her to connect with her creativity.

Sara returned home, to Barcelona, and poured parts of herself, her experiences, her thoughts and dreams one droplet at a time creating a reality of what was once a far-fetched fantasy. Working alongside the most recognized noses such as Daniela Andrier and Christophe Raynaud, Sara brought her aromatic desires to life, creating unique perfumes that she can now share with others.
