"The Elixir is not a shelf with ready-made fragrances, but a laboratory where perfume is born in a dialogue with a person. We don't sell a bottle - we create a fragrance that belongs only to you."

Khrystyna Ohrym

Master perfumer

Creates aromas - from finding an idea and selecting components to the finished composition. Studied at the Ivano-Frankivsk Professional College of Restaurant Service and Tourism of the National University of Chemistry and Technology.


"I'm interested in working with fragrance as an art: finding the right balance between notes, textures, and emotions. I especially enjoy working with woody, smoky, warm, and complex compositions, where each component adds character to the fragrance."

Tamara Stefanyshyn

Master perfumer

By education, she is a monumental artist, a graduate of the Lviv National Academy of Arts. Perfumery for her is another form of art: only instead of paints and canvas, she works with aromas.


"For me, the creation of each fragrance begins not with components, but with an image. First, I imagine the story, mood, space, and emotion I want to convey, and only then do I select materials and build a composition from them. I am interested in creating fragrances with character — ones that don't just smell nice, but tell something."

Perfumer-composer creating individual and unique fragrances.


"The most important goal when creating an individual perfume is to 100% meet the request that a person came with, so that they receive their own and unique fragrance. Every time I create a new fragrance, I learn and improve my own skills in the perfumery field."
Anna Deineka

Anna Deineka

Master perfumer

He creates fragrances, conducts perfumery workshops, and helps with individual orders — together with the client, assembling a unique composition step by step.


"A scent can influence mood and self-confidence, and even years later, instantly take you back to a specific person, place, or special moment. Perfumery is a true well of memories. There is no universally "right" scent: for me, it's important to listen carefully to a person, notice the details, and together find the composition that resonates with them the most."
