Master Classes in Creating Your Own Fragrance
A master class at The Elixir Perfume Laboratory is a hands-on session: the participant selects notes together with a master perfumer, composes a formula, and goes home with a bottle of their own perfume. Volume — from 30 to 100 ml. The recipe is saved and can be reordered at any time. No prior experience is required.

How the master class works: from the first note to the finished bottle
[1]
A conversation about scent
the master perfumer finds out your preferences and the purpose of the composition: what occasions the perfume is for, what impression it should make, and what you have liked or disliked before. No long lectures — straight to practice.
[2]
Choosing a direction
you sample the key accords — from fresh and floral to woody, leathery, and spicy. We note the ones that resonate most.
[3]
Composing the formula
the master perfumer suggests combinations for your request. You test intermediate versions, adjust proportions, and search for the perfect balance between top, heart, and base notes. All ingredients are premium raw materials from Givaudan, Firmenich, and IFF, so every variation sounds whole and harmonious.

the finished formula is recorded in our database for reordering. Your fragrance is poured into a bottle, given a personal name and label — and is ready to use right away.

Participation formats: individual, couples, group, and corporate
Four ways to hold a session — from a personal visit to corporate events.
A gift certificate for any format is available in physical or electronic form. The recipient chooses the date and location themselves.
Where it takes place, how long it lasts, and how to book
Three ways to hold a session — from a personal visit to creating your fragrance online through our The Elixir AI app. Both in-person locations have the same set of ingredients and equipment. There is nothing to prepare or order in advance.
Duration: from 1 to 2.5 hours — from the first sniff to the finished bottle. If you want more time to experiment, we'll arrange it separately.
Current dates and booking — on the website or through our manager. Corporate requests are discussed individually: date, number of participants, venue.

Ingredient safety
All raw materials are sourced from leading global perfume houses. Every formula is checked for compliance with the IFRA standard before bottling — the international industry regulator for fragrance ingredient safety.
Rules for participants
01
Sensitive skin and allergy sufferers
Before applying, do a patch test on the inside of your wrist. We do not recommend applying to damaged or irritated skin.
02
Participants under 18
A parent or guardian must be present or provide written consent.
03
Storing your bottle
Avoid direct sunlight and temperature fluctuations — a dark, cool place prolongs the stability of the formula.
04
Guidance during the session
The master perfumer guides you at every stage and explains all the nuances of working safely with the ingredients.
What you get after the master class
You will learn to distinguish top, heart, and base notes, understand how they unfold on the skin, and be able to clearly articulate your own olfactory preferences.
01
Finished bottle
A personal fragrance in a bottle with its own name and a personalized label, created with your own hands.
02
Saved formula
The exact recipe is recorded in the laboratory's database under your personal profile.
03
Quick reorder
The option to order a second or third bottle of your recipe online without a repeat visit.
04
Perfume base
A practical understanding of how compositions are built, enough to adjust notes meaningfully in the future.
If a year from now you want to recreate your fragrance or slightly adjust its formula, the master perfumer will return to your base without starting the process from scratch.
