Create your own fragrance
During an individual master class, you work live with a perfumer at The Elixir laboratories and create your fragrance with your own hands. You can choose from more than 400 ingredients from global suppliers that work with luxury perfume houses. No special knowledge is required.
The format is strictly individual: just you and the master perfumer, no one else. Sessions are held in person in Kyiv (Gulliver Mall) and Ivano-Frankivsk (Promprylad). Price — from 2,950 UAH.
And if you can't visit the laboratory in person, you can always create your own unique fragrance remotely with our AI app.
How the master class works: from introduction to finished fragrance
The session is live work with a master perfumer: you test notes, build a formula, and blend the final fragrance. Duration — up to 1 hour, depending on your pace and the chosen format.
[1]
Brief and sampling
Meeting the perfumer and discussing your idea: where you plan to wear the fragrance and what impression you want to make (your feelings instead of terminology). You test notes on blotters from a library of more than 400 ingredients from Givaudan, Firmenich, and IFF, learning how they combine.
[2]
Composing the formula
Based on the selected ingredients, the master perfumer develops the proportions for your fragrance. This is a live dialogue and consultation, not an automated algorithm.
[3]
Blending
Live perfume creation: the perfumer blends your formula. If you wish, you can join in and blend under the guidance of the master perfumer.
[4]
Final test and refinement
The finished fragrance is applied to the skin to evaluate how it unfolds. If you want to make changes, the master perfumer adjusts the formula — the number of attempts is unlimited until you are completely satisfied with the result.
Allergies and sensitivity. If you react to certain ingredients or have sensitive skin, let the master perfumer know at the start of the session. They will take these limitations into account when selecting ingredients.
The program and what each participant takes home
The price includes the full cycle: a consultation with the master perfumer, work with 400+ ingredients, an unlimited number of test iterations, the final formula, and a finished 30, 50, or 100 ml bottle of your fragrance — depending on the master class format.
What else is included:
A personal fragrance name — you come up with it yourself or together with the master perfumer, and it is printed on the label.
Saved recipe — the formula stays in the laboratory; reorder at any time.
Certificate with your formula: a document with your personal recipe and fragrance name; it confirms your authorship.
IFRA compliance check — IFRA (International Fragrance Association) sets international safety standards for perfume ingredients; every composition is checked, and no ingredient exceeds the limits.
Buying a master class as a gift?
the master perfumer will issue a master class certificate. Valid for 12 months; the recipient chooses the session date themselves at a convenient time.
Format, duration, location, and price of an individual session
Sessions are held by appointment — in person in Kyiv or Ivano-Frankivsk. Online fragrance selection via our AI system is a separate format for those who want to define their scent direction remotely or choose a master class as a gift without meeting in person; it does not replace a live session with a master perfumer.

Who it's for: by style, occasion, and character
Formats
01
For yourself and your own style
Looking for an everyday signature scent or a composition for a specific season or occasion? Business restraint, sporty lightness, or sensual evening depth — the master perfumer will develop a formula to match your image. Unisex, refined feminine, or purely masculine: you draw the line, describing only your feelings and associations.
02
Special gift
A master class certificate is the perfect choice for a meaningful date: a birthday, February 14, March 8, or another important occasion. A wonderful opportunity to give unforgettable emotions, a creative experience, and a truly personal item instead of yet another standard gift set.
03
For couples
a separate option: two people create a fragrance together, and the process itself becomes shared.

No guessing about tastes. The recipient opens the envelope and sees not a bottle from a shelf but an invitation: to come to the laboratory, talk with a master perfumer, and compose their own formula.
