Blood orange and bergamot over tiaré, sandalwood and musk
Asteria is an Eau de Parfum made by Velixir, one of the houses owned by FragranceGems. It opens on blood orange, mandarin, bergamot and lemon, has a single flower at its heart, tiaré Tahiti, and rests on sandalwood, musk and powdery notes. A bright citrus start over one white flower is easy to follow, and a 10 ml decant shows how it lives on skin.

The composition
The curve shows the order in which the notes come forward, not their strength.
On the skin
The top is a rich citrus mix: blood orange and mandarin for sweetness, bergamot and lemon for sharpness. The recorded text calls it a bubbly, lively start. Expect it to feel bright at once, then to settle within minutes as the flower underneath comes through.
The heart is a single note, tiaré Tahiti, a tropical flower that the recorded text describes as sunny and creamy. With nothing else in the middle, it is easy to tell whether you like it. This is the stage to watch when you wear the sample, since the flower carries the whole character of the perfume.
The base is sandalwood, musk and powdery notes, which give a creamy, soft and close finish. After the brightness of the citrus and the flower, this part is quiet. Smell your wrist in the evening and see whether the soft, powdery end suits you or whether you would want more depth.
Testing it
Apply the decant to clean skin on a sunny spring or summer day, as FragranceGems tags it, and wear it to work or for an evening out. Smell it at the start, once the flower arrives and again in the evening. A second try on another day tells you whether the tiaré stays pleasant for you.
For people who like a citrus start with a creamy white flower and a soft, powdery base, and who want something easy for warm seasons. FragranceGems lists it as unisex. If tropical flowers such as tiaré or gardenia feel too heavy for you, the sample shows that quickly.
A single tropical flower over citrus can come across as sunny on one person and soapy or heavy on another. Because Velixir is our own range, we fill the 10 ml decant ourselves from the original bottle and label it. If it suits you, the 35 ml bottle is available from FragranceGems.
What you receive
We start with a full bottle of the perfume. Nothing is diluted, mixed or added.
Filled by hand into a clean glass spray vial of 2, 5 or 10 ml and closed straight after filling.
Our own label names the brand, the perfume, the concentration and the size.

It comes as a 10 ml decant of Asteria in a glass spray vial, poured by FragranceGems from the original bottle and given our own label. Velixir is a house of our own at FragranceGems, which makes this decant part of our own range.
It is a tropical white flower, and the recorded text describes it as sunny and creamy here. How strong and how creamy it feels depends on your skin, which the sample will show.
FragranceGems tags it for spring and summer, with daily, work and evening use. Wearing the decant in those months gives the clearest answer.
The brand
Velixir is a young perfume house from Indonesia, founded in 2025, that says it wants to "redefine accessible luxury in modern perfumery" and bring Indonesian perfumery to a global stage. The perfumes are Eau de Parfum and carry names from mythology: Icarus, Asteria, Aphrodite, Persephone, Poseidon. Because the range is wide and the names say little about the scent, a few samples side by side are the quickest way in.

Timely info when item was back in stock. Some confusion with info about shipment updates on gls app but what is important: perfume came in perfect condition!
incredible fast delivery l. the fragrance itself its magnificent, the dry down woody base, is intoxicating. it last on me 10 hours plus. great service great fragrance
Good experience overall. Fast shipping without any incidents. Prices are good as well.
Really happy of my purchase. Serious seller, quality products, fast shipping, large catalog. I will order a lot of more !
Shipping was 5 days to Finland. Customer service was very good. Happy with the product also. Will shop again. Only thing I hope is that you guys would negotiate better price for GLS shipping to Finland. But I know that is not always possible. And I noticed the prices were lower than the competitors so the steep shipping price was not that big of a deal. Good job all in all.
Great shop with a fantastic selection and fast shipping. I was very happy with my order. It would have been a nice touch to receive a little sample, especially as I ordered two full-size products. ;)
Placing the order was very easy. Shipping was very fast. I am completely satisfied.
Plenty of perfumes and very good perfumes. Fast shipping. One negative. Expensive shipping from Netherlands to Greece
A selection of recent reviews in proportion to their star ratings.
