Mandarin, ginger and a salty ambergris base
Velixir Poseidon is an Eau de Parfum that opens with bergamot and mandarin, adds ginger in the heart and rests on ambergris. It is a short, fresh and aquatic composition with just five recorded notes, and a 10 ml decant is a fair way to find out how the salty, skin-like base feels on you.

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!
The composition
The curve shows the order in which the notes come forward, not their strength.
On the skin
Bergamot and mandarin open the perfume, described as vital and refreshing, with a mood of a breeze over the Mediterranean. It is a direct, bright start. Spray it and notice whether the citrus feels juicy or dry on your skin.
Ginger alone makes the heart. FragranceGems says its sharp, spiced note gives the perfume a modern twist and carries the citrus further. With one named heart note this stage is easy to follow: look for how the ginger changes the brightness of the top.
The base is ambergris, described as precious, salty and skin-like. It is the note that gives this perfume its sea character. Because it is soft and close to the skin, smell your wrist again later in the day to see what remains after the citrus and ginger have gone.
Testing it
Wear it on a warm day on clean skin, one spray on the chest and one on a wrist, and enjoy the citrus at the start. Try it again around exercise or at work, since FragranceGems lists both. A second warm day shows whether the salty base stays close to your skin.
A fit for people who like fresh, aquatic and citrus perfumes for daily wear, work and sport in the warm months. FragranceGems tags it as unisex, moderate in intensity and for summer. If you find marine perfumes thin, the sample shows whether the ambergris gives this one more body.
A perfume with five recorded notes has little to hide behind, and a list says nothing about how it feels on skin. Velixir is one of our own houses at FragranceGems, so we fill this decant from our own bottle and label it. A link on this page leads on to the full bottle.
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.

FragranceGems tags it aquatic and fresh and describes the base as salty and skin-like. Together with the citrus, that gives it a sea-breeze character.
Ambergris is the only base note listed. FragranceGems describes it as precious and salty, and we add nothing beyond that.
FragranceGems lists sport among its occasions, which fits the fresh, aquatic profile. A test around exercise shows whether 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.
