Datura Perfumes

Created by Odesa native Alexander Cherniyenko, Datura Perfumes appeared in summer 2013, with its first perfumes presented in May 2014. Cherniyenko came to perfumery after studying food-production engineering and developing his practice through self-directed experimentation; he described himself as an artist working with fragrant materials rather than a traditionally trained perfumer. The brand’s creative concept focuses on selective fragrances built from minimalist, unusual combinations, with stories connected to memories, events, and personal moments. A 2020 profile identified Datura as an Odesa niche brand represented by Laska Store since 2014, with Cherniyenko handling its ideas, fragrance creation, raw-material purchasing, and package illustrations. In 2016, Vanilla, Mavka, Blond, and Sugar Oud were described as the brand’s most in-demand fragrances. Its documented releases continued with Divine and Magnolia in 2022, Accendis, Gloaming, and Warrior in 2024, and Torando Absolu L’Eau in 2025.
