Who are we?

SANCHOTENA
Signature Perfumery
Founder Maria Eugenia Sanchotena


At Sanchotena, we believe that a perfume is more than just a scent; it is an art form, an expression of who you are and a gateway to memories and emotions. I am María Eugenia Sanchotena, and my passion for perfumes began in my childhood, playing on my aunt's dressing table among lipsticks, powders and fragrances that sparked an indelible fascination in me.

With over 19 years of experience in perfumery, I specialize in natural perfumery and natural isolated molecules. I am currently training at the School of Creative Perfumery with Marina Barcenilla, Rosa Damascena Chair Member at the Academy of Perfume. My career has made me a perfumer, olfactory educator and beauty consultant, dedicated to helping others discover their essence through unique fragrances.

In November 2021, I opened the doors of Sanchotena in Artekale 8, Durango (Bizkaia), with the aim of offering a signature perfumery that stands out for its exclusivity and quality. We carefully select perfumes and cosmetic treatments made with exquisite raw materials by great artists and cosmetic laboratories.

Our Philosophy


Exclusive Perfumes : We work with independent perfumers who create fragrances without following trends imposed by fashion or advertising. Each perfume tells a story and reflects the personality of the person wearing it.
Personalized Experiences : We don't just sell perfumes; we offer a unique and personalized experience. We help you find that aroma that defines you and makes you unforgettable.
Olfactory Workshops : We organize activities to train and develop the sense of smell, including blind experiences and olfactory tastings. Learn about the raw materials and philosophy behind each fragrance.
Custom Perfumes : We create personalized perfumes from scratch, capturing memories, emotions or special moments in a unique fragrance.
Additional Services
Beauty Consulting and Advice : We help stores, companies and professionals create perfumes that represent their brand, building a unique olfactory identity.
Exclusive and Private Sales : For those seeking more dedicated attention, we offer private sessions where you can explore our fragrances in a calm and personalized environment.
