LOCATION & BACKGROUND
Sibonei is present in select locations within Spain and Italy, while production is centered in their atelier in Grasse, France, a region renowned for luxury perfumery.
Ana’s background blends scientific environments with an upbringing steeped in art, literature, and culture. This duality informs her approach to creativity, leading her to develop Sibonei as a means to connect scent with emotion and memory.
CREATIVE APPROACH & INSPIRATION
Ana’s creative process involves shaping oneiric spaces through fragrance, transforming memory and experience into tangible forms. Sibonei was inspired by iconic moments in art, literature, and film, with each candle serving as a sensory artefact. For Ana, creativity is about distilling emotion—turning feelings into objects you can hold, light, and immerse yourself in. She envisions creating pieces that celebrate the self, the past, and the future.
FAVOURITE THING AT HOME
Ana treasures a small white ceramic sculpture of open hands, symbolizing generosity and trust—a good omen purchased at the start of her business journey in Grasse.
MEANING OF HOME
Home, for Ana, is a sanctuary defined by simple comforts: clean sheets, good food and great music. It is a space where the chaos of the outside world fades, replaced by a sense of familiarity and warmth.
