A decant to judge Amber and Cedar for yourself
Velixir Orpheus Extrait is a perfume that we decant into glass spray vials of 2, 5 or 10 ml. Amber, Cedar, Musk, Powdery notes, Sandalwood and Vetiver: those are the notes FragranceGems records for it. A decant gives you time with it, which a quick spray on a paper strip never does. Wear it on more than one day before you make up your mind.

Reviews of FragranceGems, the shop behind DecantGems
I really appreciate that I found a shop that has a wide range of authentic perfumes,fast delivery,great communication and very good prices. Thanks for everything!
On the skin
What is on record for Velixir Orpheus Extrait: Amber, Cedar, Musk, Powdery notes, Sandalwood and Vetiver. The list has no top, heart or base, and we do not invent one. Smell it right after applying and again later in the day, because the first minutes rarely tell the whole story.
By family, Velixir Orpheus Extrait is tagged as floral, fruity and woody. That tells you roughly which shelf it belongs on, and the decant tells you the rest. FragranceGems rates its strength as strong. One wearing shows a mood, several wearings show the perfume.
The decant holds the same liquid as the full bottle of Velixir Orpheus Extrait, moved into a small glass spray vial by FragranceGems and labelled by us. Glass does not react with perfume, so what you smell is the perfume itself. The smallest size covers a first impression, the largest gives you many wearings.
Testing it
For Orpheus Extrait, FragranceGems names spring and autumn as the fitting time of year. The occasions on record: everyday wear, evenings and work. Note what you think each time, and read your notes back at the end of the week.
By its tags, Velixir Orpheus Extrait is meant for everyone (unisex). People who tire of scents quickly do well with small sizes. Collectors use decants to explore widely without filling a shelf. It also works for anyone who wants a small vial for travel or a bag.
With a decant you find out in a week what a description cannot tell you in a page. This is a FragranceGems house, so the decant comes from close to the source: filled by FragranceGems from the original bottle, labelled by us. When the sample convinces you, the full bottle is part of the FragranceGems range.
What you receive

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 is a small glass spray vial of 2, 5 or 10 ml with our own label on it. It sprays like a bottle, so you apply Orpheus Extrait the way you normally would.
FragranceGems lists it for spring and autumn. That is a guide, not a rule: with a decant you can try it in other weather and see whether it still works for you.
Spray it on clean skin, do not rub, and check it after a few minutes, at midday and in the evening. Repeat that on a few different days before you decide about a bottle.
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.
