As a child, Sonia did not know she wanted to be a perfumer, but her love for scents made her realize it was the perfect profession for her. Despite her family's doubts, Sonia followed her dream and trained for five years, combining her studies at ISIPCA with practical experience at Givaudan.

Sonia's creativity in perfumery is inspired by her travels and experiences. She always carries a Leica camera and a Moleskine notebook, capturing images and thoughts that inspire her future creations. For Sonia, creating a fragrance is a visual and olfactory experience, and she draws inspiration from colors, atmospheres, landscapes, and emotions.
In addition to her work at Givaudan, Sonia created her own perfume collection, ELLA K, in 2017. Through ELLA K, Sonia was able to express her personal and philosophical vision of the world. Sonia is passionate about her work and loves to explore new scents and ingredients, constantly expanding her knowledge and creative abilities.
Sonia's favorite fragrance notes include ambroxan, cashmere wood, orange blossom, and iris. Her least favorite smell is vomit, and she also dislikes the smell of the durian fruit. Sonia's work has earned her recognition in the industry, and she continues to be one of the best perfumers in the world.
