My childhood, my life in the USA, my love for Barcelona and of course, my passion for the world of scents.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I grew up in the countryside of Barcelona surrounded by Mediterranean vegetation; geraniums, fig trees, almond trees and pines were part of that landscape and are a constant inspiration for me. I remember being a little girl and collecting empty perfume bottles from my mother, and later, during college, I fell in love with Hermes fragrances, which even today are one of my references when I think about great perfumery.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I studied Economics and I followed a \u201ctraditional\u201d professional path in finance and consulting, experiences that had nothing to do with perfumes, but that helped me acquire a financial background which is so important when starting a company. I soon realized that I wanted to move to a more creative and dynamic industry. I wanted to create something and to express my emotions. <strong>What could be better than fragrances? So intimate, so personal, yet something that can reach so many.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After some time, \u00a0I had a clear vision: I wanted to create a perfume collection that could connect with me, my memories and emotions. I wanted to connect it to my beloved Barcelona, and I wanted to use the best available ingredients and materials from local suppliers. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em><strong>In 2009 Carner Barcelona was born based on the pillars of quality and craftsmanship.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.scentbird.com\/blog\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"8508\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.scentbird.com\/blog\/scented-story-sara-carner-founder-carner-barcelona\/full_range_jpg\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/www.scentbird.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/FULL_RANGE_JPG.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"2835,1417\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"FULL_RANGE_JPG\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/www.scentbird.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/FULL_RANGE_JPG.jpg\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-8508 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.scentbird.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/FULL_RANGE_JPG.jpg\" alt=\"carner barcelona\" width=\"2835\" height=\"1417\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.scentbird.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/FULL_RANGE_JPG.jpg 2835w, https:\/\/www.scentbird.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/FULL_RANGE_JPG.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.scentbird.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/FULL_RANGE_JPG.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.scentbird.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/FULL_RANGE_JPG.jpg 2600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1300px) 100vw, 1300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In order to develop special and unique perfumes I needed the best partners. \u00a0So I knocked at Givaudan\u2019s door, I knew that working with the best of the best noses in the world was key, not only because I was ensuring the quality of the scents but also because they would give my collection instant credibility.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of my first perfumes, \u00a0TARDES, created by Daniella Andrier, is about the importance of nature during my childhood; you can feel the warmth of a summer Mediterranean afternoon through its notes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Later on, I worked with Sonia Constant.
