{"product_id":"velixir-helios-sample","title":"Velixir Helios Sample","description":"\u003cp\u003eVelixir 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFragrance notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eTop:\u003c\/b\u003e Coconut, Green Notes, Mint\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eHeart:\u003c\/b\u003e Marine Notes, Fig\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eBase:\u003c\/b\u003e Vetiver, Woody Notes, Tonka Bean\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCoconut, green notes, mint\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSea notes and fig\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eVetiver, woods and tonka\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow to test it\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eWear 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho it is for\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy try Velixir Helios as a sample first\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eCoconut, 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 heart turns to sea notes and fig, and the base to vetiver, woods and tonka, so coconut is mainly an opening note.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eHow icy is the mint?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFragranceGems calls the mint icy and says it cuts through the coconut. How cool it feels depends on your skin and the weather.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eIs Helios a sports perfume?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFragranceGems 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Velixir","offers":[{"title":"2 ml","offer_id":67693395050650,"sku":"DG-VEL-HELIOS-002ML","price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"5 ml","offer_id":67693395083418,"sku":"DG-VEL-HELIOS-005ML","price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"10 ml","offer_id":67693395116186,"sku":"DG-VEL-HELIOS-010ML","price":8.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0782\/5938\/8570\/files\/velixir-helios-sample.jpg?v=1791495331","url":"https:\/\/decantgems.eu\/products\/velixir-helios-sample","provider":"DecantGems","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
