The incentive of personal consciousness, ethics, cultural, social and environmental, no longer as individual and collective wealth, but as a survival necessity, has become the lighthouse of our actions and perspectives, the one that stamps day by day, our footprint.
Learning each movement, we are getting rid of habits that, although some have made our lives easier,, they have been attacking our world., in a prejudice without return.
The various areas of El Jardí Secret® have been linked timely or basically, to various entities, organizations and projects that promote, and help providing tools, in this way about the world we live in.
As craftswoman, my roots, the woman I have become or the passion for the profession that has chosen me, have not been on the sidelines of any creation, on the contrary, they are the soul.
The word is the first to exchange with an unknown person, I have never left home, without the first socializing sentences that I will have to use, due respect, to whom I find me and for the emotion I will experience when learning. The curiosity and immediate appeal of communicating with others, led me to learn more about other languages. Nowadays I can move around in six languages and I have fallen into the fascination with the symbolism of another. The enrichment of other talks, makes easier for me to share the job, everywhere.
In spite of the war that from the 1714, by the Bourbon state in which we are confined, holds against our language, I live, think, love, reject, fight and a thousand more things in Catalan, like so many people. In my solitary work, the long silences while I formulate, mix synergies or balances nuances, like thoughts, communicate with me, in the language of my childhood, of my family and my land.
All my creations have been presented, as they have been created and elaborated, some have been nominated or even awarded with all respect for the language, outside the peninsula, where my name without so much luck, is constantly being recolonized.
The word that presents a creation, reveals its origin, exudes the culture that fosters it, invites you to find or reject it, and above all, determines the respect that yourself have for all that involves your word.
Use other people's words, invisible the identity of the work and sweeps it under other rugs.
Code of ethics of El Jardí Secret®
on the artistic world of experimental and creative perfumery in natural and artisan basis .
As the years passed, my research has led me to get to know and link with various entities, groupings or foundations that seemed to move within the form and ethics in which they presented themselves. Of these, I have maintained some of the principles set out below, but others, have moved me away to stay only in headlines than after, then neither respect , nor encourage, nor follow.
These expressed points, govern my way of doing and projecting with what and where I am going. It is not a static list, because I keep discovering.

The world of craft perfumery, necessarily natural in our country, cannot be fully sustainable, for the typology of the subjects that are needed and their origins, blurred for the whole world.
Maybe for that reason, the challenge has been, minimize everything else, making that every time the “possible” be wider, in the perfume packaging, with reusable elements and above all any item to smell, which constitutes a standardized aberration in consumer centers with larger strips and thicker paper, which are discarded after a few minutes of service. For many years now I have transformed the remains of the graphic material I generate, to use them as supports, to smell in the creative process, in teaching or discoveries.
