Vanilla opening, lavender heart, vetiver base
Paladin, an Eau de Parfum from the FragranceGems-owned house Velixir, has a recorded pyramid with only four entries: vanilla on top, lavender and aromatic notes in the heart, vetiver at the base. Starting a perfume with vanilla instead of citrus is unusual, so seeing how it unfolds on your own skin is worth a 10 ml decant.

On the skin
How it unfolds
-
Vanilla at the top
The recorded text points out that Paladin begins with vanilla instead of the usual citrus, a creamy and immediately recognisable sweetness. Because the opening is so direct, you will know within minutes whether you like the approach. It is the one stage where there is nothing to wait for.
-
Lavender and aromatic notes
In the heart, lavender and aromatic notes bring a clean, herbal, botanical side. Together with the vanilla before it, this makes an unusual pairing of cream and herbs. This is the stage where the sample shows you how the two live together on your skin, sweet and fresh side by side.
-
Vetiver
The base is vetiver alone, the dry, slightly smoky root that gives the perfume its earthy end. After vanilla and lavender, it grounds everything. Smell your wrist in the evening and see whether the dryness of the vetiver suits the creamy start or feels like a separate perfume.
Testing it
How to test it, for whom and why
How to test it
Apply the decant on clean skin on an ordinary day, since FragranceGems tags it for daily use, work and evenings across the seasons, and try it in two different kinds of weather. Smell it at once, when the lavender comes through and later when only the vetiver remains. Writing down three words per stage helps.
Who it is for
For people who like a vanilla-led perfume but want it to turn fresh and herbal, ending in a dry earth note instead of more sweetness. FragranceGems lists it as unisex. If you prefer your vanilla straight and warm, the sample shows quickly whether the lavender and vetiver are a welcome contrast.
Why try Velixir Paladin as a sample first
With only four recorded notes, every one of them matters, and a small change in how vanilla or vetiver reads on your skin changes the whole perfume. Because Velixir is ours, the 10 ml decant is something we fill and label ourselves, straight from the original bottle. The 100 ml bottle is on FragranceGems.

Frequently asked
What is the Paladin sample?
It comes as a 10 ml decant of Paladin in a glass spray vial, transferred by FragranceGems from the original bottle and labelled in-house. Velixir is a label that FragranceGems owns, so we fill the vial from our own bottle.
Is it sweet or fresh?
It starts with vanilla, so sweetness is up front, then lavender and aromatic notes bring freshness, and vetiver ends dry. The sample shows which of these you remember at the end of the day.
Can I wear it in every season?
FragranceGems tags it for daily use across the seasons, with work and evenings. Trying the decant in two different seasons is the only way to know how it behaves for you.
The brand
About Velixir
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
