Het verhaal van SORA DORA

The story of SORA DORA

Expansion of the range with SORA DORA

At Petit Parfums we are proud to offer SORA DORA, a perfume brand with a rich history rooted in passion and beauty of nature.

The story begins with Antoine Soradora, born in 1902 in the picturesque town of Loulé, Portugal. Growing up in a farming family, Antoine was surrounded by the natural scents of the countryside: lavender, wildflowers, fresh grass and the earthy scent of the land. While his family imagined him following in their footsteps, Antoine was drawn to the world of fragrances.

At the age of 18, Antoine made the courageous decision to leave his homeland and travel to France. He settled in the village of Gréasque, where a welcoming French family made a small garden available to him. Antoine transformed this space into a vibrant oasis of flowers, fruit trees and aromatic plants, a testament to his love of nature.

During his stay in France, Antoine explored the nearby town of Grasse, the heart of the perfume industry. There he met Etienne, an experienced jasmine grower. The two men quickly became friends, bonded by their shared passion for plants and scents. Together they began to experiment with creating perfumes, combining their knowledge and creativity.

After Etienne passed away, Antoine continued their work and created his first perfume. This marked the beginning of SORA DORA, a brand that would continue his legacy. Antoine’s journey wasn’t just about creating fragrances; it was about capturing the essence of the places he loved and the emotions they stirred in him.

Antoine married Rose, a local woman from Gréasque, and together they had three daughters. He passed on his passion and expertise to them, ensuring that the family tradition of perfumery would continue. Today, SORA DORA is a treasured perfume brand that has been passed down through four generations. The fragrances in the 2021 collection reflect the power and emotion of Antoine’s journey – from the rolling hills of Portugal to the aromatic gardens of Provence.

At Petit Parfums, we invite you to discover SORA DORA, where each bottle is more than just a fragrance; it is a piece of history and a celebration of a dream come true.
