How long have you been working at Ventós?

What is your day-to-day like?

My main functions are the management and supervision of all departments that depend on the laboratory, such as Quality Control, supplier and/or product homologation, and I am particularly focused on essential oils.

What sets Ventós apart in the market?

Ventós is differentiated above all by its service, the availability of products that we can offer our customers immediately and our commitment to maintaining an adequate quality standard.

What do you like most about your work?

What I like most about my work is being able to optimize the laboratory procedures every day to grow in a productive and efficient way. As for the quality of the products, what I appreciate most is being able to get to know new materials and smell them each day comparing them with each other. The fact of being able to work with so many products and suppliers offers us infinite possibilities to learn.

Of the 3,000 products we have in stock, which is your favorite?

Of the products we have, one of my favorites is sandalwood for its complexity and its contrast between woody notes with musky, creamy and sweet ones.

What smells take you back to your childhood?

The scents that transport me to my childhood are jasmine, my parents always used to have on the house terrace and I remember summer nights with their floral, delicate and yet intense smell.
I also have a very vivid memory of the smell of thyme and lavender in the field where my grandparents lived.

Your ideal vacation destination? What would your perfect vacation be like?

My ideal vacation destination would be combining beach with mountains, I like both equally and better if it's discovering new destinations.

What is your main character trait?

Responsible, perfectionist and proactive.

What style of music do you listen to? Favorite singer/artist?

I like several music styles, I couldn't choose a single singer or band.

What is your favorite hobby?

Traveling, practicing any sport especially outdoors, music, dance, photography and horse riding.

If a film director offered to make a movie about your life, which actor or actress would you like to play your character?

Natalie Portman, in addition to her qualities as an actress, for the values she conveys and her dedication to various humanitarian causes.

Would you prefer to travel to the past or to the future?

I prefer neither the past nor the future to the present, and to live each moment.
