Coconut and mint over sea notes and fig
Velixir Helios is an Eau de Parfum that opens with coconut, green notes and mint, turns marine with sea notes and fig, and rests on vetiver, woody notes and tonka bean. Coconut and mint on one side and a milky fig on the other make an unusual pairing, and a 10 ml decant shows how it behaves on skin.

The composition
The curve shows the order in which the notes come forward, not their strength.
On the skin
The opening is vital and refreshing. FragranceGems describes the icy mint as cutting through the tropical creaminess of coconut, with green notes in between. It should feel clear and invigorating. If coconut is not your note, this is the stage where the mint decides how much of it you get.
In the heart, marine notes meet fig. FragranceGems calls the salty sea notes a deep, maritime soul and says they blend with the milky, fruity sweetness of fig. It is the stage that makes this perfume more complex than a plain fresh scent.
The base of vetiver, woody notes and tonka bean is described as warm and solid, with a subtly sweet, sun-warmed feel on skin. Vetiver brings earth, the woods stability and tonka a gentle sweetness. Smell your wrist later in the day to see how the sea fades into warmth.
Testing it
Wear it on a warm day on clean skin, one spray on the chest and one on a wrist, and notice how the mint and coconut change in the sun. Try it again for sport or at work, as FragranceGems lists both. A second trial in the evening shows whether the tonka base keeps you interested.
A fit for people who like fresh, aquatic and woody perfumes with a tropical start, for daily wear, work and sport in summer. FragranceGems tags it as unisex and moderate. If coconut usually puts you off in perfumes, the sample shows whether mint and vetiver change that.
Coconut, mint and fig are three notes people hold strong views on, and a list cannot predict which side you are on. Velixir is a FragranceGems house, so this decant comes from our own bottle, filled and labelled by us. The page also links to the full bottle.

Coconut is in the top, together with green notes and mint. The heart turns to sea notes and fig, and the base to vetiver, woods and tonka, so coconut is mainly an opening note.
FragranceGems calls the mint icy and says it cuts through the coconut. How cool it feels depends on your skin and the weather.
FragranceGems lists sport among the occasions, next to daily wear and work. The fresh, aquatic profile fits, and a test around exercise will show how it works for you.
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.
