OUR STORY
How it started
The Elixir begins with a simple idea: perfume is a self-portrait. Not a luxury item you try on, but a formula that comes from within you. Every fragrance created in our laboratory belongs to one person — and their story.
The idea itself grew out of a specific experience. A few years ago, in a European laboratory, our first personal fragrance was born — as a gift for a loved one, not as a project. The way it sounded and how it changed the way the person wearing it felt revealed one thing: personal perfumery works not as an adornment but as a way of recognizing yourself.
The laboratory grew from that. We completed full professional training, developed our own method, and opened a space in Kyiv. A modern approach makes it possible to create your fragrance in a single visit — without sacrificing depth or European IFRA safety standards. The luxury here lies in time, attention, and ingredients. The accessibility lies in the fact that this experience is open to anyone who wants to hear their own story in scent.
VISION AND GOALS
Our vision
We believe perfumery should stop being a closed industry where someone else decides what you should smell like. The future of fragrance is individual: a fragrance for the person, not the person for the fragrance.
What we do every day:
We create custom perfumes in two laboratories together with the client
We develop fragrances for hotels, restaurants, and brands
We hold group and off-site master classes on request
We are improving our online app for those who can't come to the laboratory
We maintain and update a palette of more than 400 ingredients
INGREDIENTS
What we use
A palette of more than 400 notes, built on the classic perfume pyramid — top, heart, base.
Top notes / first impression
Citrus (bergamot, lemon, grapefruit, mandarin), aromatic herbs (rosemary, lavender, mint), green notes, spices. They last for the first 15–30 minutes and set the mood of the composition.
Heart notes / character
Floral accords (rose, jasmine, ylang-ylang, freesia, peony), fruity notes, tea nuances. They last two to four hours and define what makes the perfume recognizable.
Base notes / the trail
Woods (sandalwood, cedar, vetiver), resins, amber, musk, vanilla, leather, tobacco. They are responsible for longevity and sillage — lasting up to 8–12 hours.
