With the environment and the local economy at the core of her values, she founded SOJA&CO. in October 2018.A lover of creative and enveloping scents in her everyday life, Laurence discovered a true passion for creating a relaxing ambiance. She partners with professional perfumers to create complex plant-based and free of toxic ingredients fragrances, which instantly transport us into a soothing atmosphere and allow us to escape in a matter of minutes.
With the help of her friend Geneviève, who takes care of logistics, the company has been a great success and quickly expanded its range of products.
