OUR HISTORY

How it all began

The Elixir begins with a simple premise: a perfume is a self-portrait. Not a luxury item you try on, but a formula that emanates from 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, our first personalised fragrance was created in a European laboratory — as a gift for a loved one, not as a project. The way it came across and how it transformed the experience of the person wearing it revealed one thing: personalised perfumery functions not as an accessory, but as a way to discover oneself.

This is how the laboratory came to be. We underwent comprehensive training, developed our own methodology and opened a space in Kyiv. Our modern approach allows us to create your fragrance in a single visit — without compromising on depth or European IFRA safety standards. The luxury here lies in the 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 a scent.

VISION AND GOALS

Our vision

We believe that the perfume industry should no longer be a closed world where someone else decides what you should smell like. The future of fragrance is personalised: a fragrance for the person, not the person for the fragrance.

COMPONENTS

What we use

A palette of over 400 notes, structured according to the classic fragrance pyramid — top, heart and base notes.

Top notes / first impression

Citrus fruits (bergamot, lemon, grapefruit, mandarin), aromatic herbs (rosemary, lavender, mint), green notes, spices. These notes are prominent for the first 15–30 minutes and set the tone for the fragrance.

Heart notes / character

Floral accords (rose, jasmine, ylang-ylang, freesia, peony), fruity notes, and tea-like undertones. These notes last for two to four hours and define the fragrance’s signature scent.

Base notes / trail

Woody notes (sandalwood, cedar, vetiver), resins, ambergris, musk, vanilla, leather, tobacco. These notes provide the fragrance’s longevity and sillage — lasting up to 8–12 hours.

COMPONENTS
