# Sora Dora Perfumes - French Niche Fragrances with Family Heritage
## The Story of Sora Dora - Four Generations of French Perfumery
The Sora Dora story begins in 1920 with Antoine Soradora, a Portuguese immigrant who left his hometown of Loulé to settle in Gréasque, France. Surrounded by the natural scents of his childhood countryside, Antoine transformed a modest garden into a vibrant oasis. In Grasse, the heart of the perfume industry, he met Etienne, a jasmine grower, and together they began experimenting with fragrance creation.
After Etienne's passing, Antoine continued their shared work and created his first perfume - marking the beginning of the Sora Dora legacy. This passion for scents was passed down through four generations. Antoine transmitted his knowledge and experience to his three daughters, who continued the craft with dedication.
The contemporary Sora Dora brand was launched in 2021 by Quentin Soradora, Antoine's grandson. The name "Sora Dora" combines Quentin's surname Dorado with "Sora," a person who helped him start the project. This tribute to his immigrant grandfather and his passion for scents makes every Sora Dora creation a piece of family history. The brand combines traditional craftsmanship with contemporary vision, creating fragrances that embody both the DNA of French perfumery and modern refinement.
