The founder of Praesidio Contra was deeply moved and driven to establish this company in honor of his mother, Alexandra, who was facing health challenges.

Throughout Alexandra's difficult journey, he made it a priority to be by her side whenever possible, showing his unwavering support. Despite his inability to find a solution to her health problems, he made a conscious decision to provide her comfort simply by sitting with her.

This experience fostered his profound admiration for the Latin word Praesidio, which embodies the concept of sitting with or guarding. It symbolized his determination to sit with his mother, bringing her much-needed relief and care.

Fragrance, with its captivating nuances and delicate subtleties, has always been a medium through which he connected. Entrusting his olfactory senses, he skillfully crafted a diverse collection of aromatic products — not as remedies for physical ailments, but as conduits for cultivating moments of profound serenity. In his conviction, he firmly maintains that the more we embrace moments of indulgent solitude and consciously grant ourselves respite, the more harmoniously we align with our innermost essence, our higher self.

Today, Praesidio Contra is not merely a business venture, but rather a heartfelt family operation that encompasses the unwavering dedication of Alexandra, who not only graces us with her delectable creations but also fills our hearts and office with the delightful aroma of freshly baked cookies. Each batch crafted by her skilled hands serves as a comforting reminder of the tight-knit bond that we, as a team, share, instilling within us a sense of unity and warmth that extends beyond the confines of the office walls.
