She was born here and enjoyed the days her father took her by the hand walking through the busy street of Bilbao. She would chat constantly to him as they walked hand in hand along the narrow streets in direction of the park. The street-side cafes, that at night bustling with adults searching for the best tapas with their glasses of beer, during daytime filled with pensioners. It was coffee, tobacco and chatter mixed with the sound of banging dominos that filled her memory when walking alongside her father. Once in the park, surrounded by immense green trees, pretty flowers and the vast expanse of grass to play on, it always seemed unusual to her that the air, although fresh, had an underlying metallic scent to it. But as a child you cannot be aware of the importance that industrialization has on the city, she called home. Bilbao a proud city of proud people.

Growing up in Bilbao, Ane recreates enchanted childhood walks to the park with her father, during summer afternoons.

The fragrance opens with CITRUS and LAVENDER, whilst the depth of OAK and COFFEE are at the heart. METALLIC accords mimic the noticeably industrial side of Bilbao, together with the GREEN and WOODY notes that characterise those afternoons spent in park during the summer.



ANE AYO
Born in Bilbao where she cherishes her memories of freedom. From a young age Ane was interested in fragrance, her dad gave her a perfume organ: a game named Olfanova, so developing fragrances was a pastime. Studying in UK and Germany taking pharmacy studies, one day reading about Alberto Morillas she decided her passion could be a profession. Ane pursued an MBA in perfume and fashion business management before joining the Grasse Institute of Perfumery.

For Ane, perfumery is a profession of trust and sharing, and a passion too, which allows her to express her aestheticism and her personality, opening new doors to the world around her, she is extremely visual. Collections, a word that resonates with Ane as she like to create perfumes around the same theme. This creatively driven, successful perfumer who, through her memories, captures a treasure of creativity.
