Gabriela Sabatini is known throughout the world as the champion of many tennis cups and a successful business woman. The life of this woman was completely different from that of many successful athletes. By the age of 19, the girl left the sport and immediately found herself in a completely different occupation - the creation of perfumes. A former athlete considers such an extraordinary turn one of the best decisions in her life.
A few facts about a sports career
Gabriela Sabatini first came to court at the age of 6. Her older brother at that time had long been engaged in tennis himself and decided to attach his sister to this. The success of the young athlete was brilliant - by the age of 13 she had already won the Orange Bowl tennis championship, which is well established among beginner athletes.
At the age of 14, Gabriela Sabatini already wins her first championship, and at 15 is among the ten best tennis players in the world. However, over time, the girl begins to realize that training is not easy for her. Her psychological state during the matches was extremely unstable, which is why Gabriela lost several matches.
After two years of working with a psychologist, the girl abandoned her sports career. She later mentioned in an interview that she never missed a tennis court. She managed to get fed up with sports life and never once later regretted the decision.
Implementation in a new field
For many, it came as a surprise that a person whose youth passed in big sport would start doing perfumery. However, the young girl ventured to such an act and, it must be said, very successfully. Positive reviews about the perfume from Gabriela Sabatini spread pretty quickly. The former athlete very confidently stepped on the path of running her own business.
Further, the range of manufactured goods of the Gabriela Sabatini brand continued to expand. In addition to perfume, the production of tennis rackets, accessories, clothing and even cameras begins.
Such vigorous activity allowed the girl to provide herself for many years to come. Now Gabriela Sabatini is one of the most successful business women.
Creating a perfume collection
The first perfumes from Gabriela Sabatini were released in 1989. This aldehyde floral fragrance quickly became a favorite for many ladies. The creator of this composition was Harry Fremont - one of the leading perfumers. An exquisite bouquet of bergamot, citrus notes, roses and lily of the valley in combination with a woody-musky base has become a bestseller of its time.
It is important to note that the fashion house Gabriela Sabatini continued to work with the world's best perfumers. Among them were also Martin Grasse, Francis Delmont, Dorothy Payot, Gil Romei and other famous masters.
