Group Perfume-Making Master Class
Group masterclass — 2 hours at The Elixir laboratory for groups of 3 to 10 people. Each participant creates their own formula from over 400 ingredients and takes home a bottle of their own perfume. The formulas are saved, so you can reorder the fragrance without having to visit again.
Ideal for a birthday, a hen party or an evening with the family.
Kyiv (Gulliver Shopping Centre) and Ivano-Frankivsk (Promprylad) | 2 hours | 3–10 people | from 1,500 ₴ per person
Create your own fragrance
Each participant blends, selects notes, and builds their own formula independently, while the master perfumer guides the process and records the recipe. The formula is saved: you can reorder at any time.
The raw materials are premium grade, sourced from leading global suppliers. Every formula is automatically checked for compliance with the IFRA (International Fragrance Association) standard — the international ingredient safety regulation.

The format is suited for get-togethers with friends, corporate team building, bachelorette parties, birthdays — any occasion that calls for a shared experience and a personal result for everyone.
Which group format to choose?
How to choose a group perfumery master class format
In the family format, children work only with an adult: the basis of perfumes is alcohol, so The Elixir does not make separate children's sets. Participants under 18 years of age - only with one parent or with the written consent of parents or guardians.
Two examples of how different groups choose the format:
A group of friends, 6 people, a bachelorette party in Kyiv . We chose an entertaining format: in 2 hours, everyone mixed their own fragrance, the master fixed the formulas - and at the end everyone had different bottles from one evening.
A family with two teenagers. A family format with an easy theory: parents and children picked up notes together, left with 10 ml bottles and one shared memory.
Format, duration, location and cost of a group session

How the master class works and what each participant creates in 120–180 minutes
The session moves from feeling to decision.
[1]
A short consultation with a master perfumer
10–15 minutes: top, heart, and base notes — how they behave and how to build the logic of your future composition.
[2]
Blending
Each participant works with more than 400 ingredients, tests combinations on blotters, and adjusts proportions. The master perfumer helps throughout the process. The number of attempts is unlimited.
[3]
Recording the formula and production
When you're happy with the fragrance, the master perfumer records the exact recipe. The formula is stored in the laboratory's database. The fragrance is poured into a 10, 30, 50, or 100 ml bottle right in front of the participant.

The most fascinating part is watching people with no experience walk out after two hours with something truly their own

Safety: allergies, sensitivity, and raw material quality control
The raw materials comply with the IFRA (International Fragrance Association) standard, an international regulation that sets the permissible concentrations of each component depending on the application method. Before bottling, the system checks the concentrations of components in each formula according to the IFRA standard, so an inexperienced participant does not need to calculate the dosage himself.
Higher quality synthetic molecules are often safer for sensitive skin than natural absolutes. Therefore, the laboratory selects raw materials based on quality and safety profile, not on the label “organic” or “natural.”
If you have allergies or heightened sensitivity:
Let us know when booking. The master perfumer will adjust the set of accords in advance and exclude problematic notes. Testing on paper (blotters) instead of applying to the skin is standard practice for those working with perfume concentrates for the first time.
