The story of SORA DORA

Expansion of the Collection with SORA DORA

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

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

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

During his time in France, Antoine explored the nearby city 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 fragrances. Together, they began experimenting with creating perfumes, combining their knowledge and creativity.

After Etienne's passing, Antoine continued their work and created his first perfume. This marked the beginning of SORA DORA, a brand that would carry on his legacy. Antoine’s journey was not just about crafting scents; it was about capturing the essence of the places he loved and the emotions they evoked 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 live on. Today, SORA DORA is a respected perfume brand that has been passed down for four generations. The fragrances in the 2021 collection reflect the strength 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 fulfilled.
