Anna Kravchenko is a prominent representative of the new generation of independent perfumers, founder of her own brand Ora Fragrans, passionate collector of fragrances, and inspired teacher. Her creative journey is one of constant movement and exploration, which is symbolically reflected in her life: since 2018, the perfumer has been living in Dublin, where she is deepening her knowledge by studying at the prestigious Trinity College.
Anna's journey into perfumery began with a moment of enchantment. As she herself admits, the starting point was her encounter with the niche fragrance Angéliques Sous La Pluie by Frédéric Malle. Her search for the "smell of snow" led her not to the expected L'Eau D'Hiver, but to the discovery of the resonant, green note of angelica. This encounter changed her perception and marked the beginning of a deep fascination that later grew into a profession.
Anna Kravchenko's style can be described as poetic and tactile. She works primarily with natural ingredients: essential oils, absolutes, and her own tinctures. It is in these ingredients that she finds that very "roundness and softness of sound," a closeness to living, natural scents. Her compositions are not just perfumes, but true "aromas of travel and aromas of memories," inviting you to embark on an emotional journey.
The perfumer's creations quickly won the hearts of niche perfume connoisseurs with their sincerity and imagery. Among her best and most popular perfumes, the following have become real hits: the mysterious and cool "Dreams of Snow," the melancholic and airy "Forgotten Sea," and the cozy and spicy "Gingerbread." No less discussed by fans are the lyrical Autumn in Copenhagen and the mysterious White Samhain.
Anna not only creates fragrances, but also actively participates in the life of the industry. She became one of the perfumers of the first independent perfume festival, for which she created the composition "Actinia" — a bold "prickly sea rose" with notes of moss and white mushrooms. The perfumer openly communicates with her audience through social media, conducts seminars, and shares her discoveries, remaining an accessible and inspiring figure for anyone just starting their journey in the world of fragrances.
