Wednesday 16 July 1902, Antoine Soradora was born in the suffocating heat of Loulé, a town in southern Portugal.
Antoine Soradora is a loner; wise and thoughtful, his relatives see in him the prerequisites for a future priesthood.
In truth, Antoine feels an intimate and mysterious inner turmoil: the intoxication of smells, the vertigo of perfumes.
God knows that for Antoine who wanders between plains and the undergrowth of the seasons, the scents never stop swirling in his mind, shaping his senses and sculpting his inspirations.
In 1920 on his eighteenth birthday Antoine Soradora finds himself faced with a dilemma: follow the path mapped out for him or leave his country – leave everything behind to live life to the fullest?
Without looking back, Antoine decides to leave his homeland. One day Antoine meets Etienne, a jasmine grower.
From this meeting and from the passion of both for smells and ingredients a new project will be born: SORA DORA
