{"product_id":"velixir-selene-sample","title":"Velixir Selene Sample","description":"\u003cp\u003eSelene is an Eau de Parfum from Velixir, a house of FragranceGems itself. The record names raspberry at the top, peony and magnolia in the heart, and jasmine sambac with rose geranium in the base. A floral perfume whose fruit comes first and whose white flowers arrive last is a reversal of the usual order, and a decant lets you smell it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFragrance notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eTop:\u003c\/b\u003e Raspberry\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eHeart:\u003c\/b\u003e Peony, Magnolia\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eBase:\u003c\/b\u003e Jasmine Sambac, Rose Geranium\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eRaspberry\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eRaspberry is the whole top of the record. It is a juicy, sweet and slightly tart fruit that gives a lively, playful start. Spray the decant once and notice how sweet or fresh the raspberry feels on your skin, since it is the only top note and sets the mood.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePeony and magnolia\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn the heart the record lists peony and magnolia. Peony is soft, rosy and velvety, and magnolia adds a creamy, slightly lemony floral shade. This is the stage where the fruity opening becomes properly floral, so give it time before you judge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eJasmine sambac and rose geranium\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe base is jasmine sambac with rose geranium. Jasmine sambac is rich, warm and a little heady, while rose geranium contributes a green, rosy edge that keeps it from turning heavy. Go back to your wrist later and judge whether the flowers feel lush or too strong for you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow to test it\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSelene carries the spring and summer tags at FragranceGems, plus daily use, evenings and work. Wear one or two sprays on a mild day and then in the evening, watching how the raspberry hands over to the flowers. A second day in warmer weather shows whether the jasmine gets louder in the heat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho it is for\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor people who like floral perfumes with a fruity spark and want something for spring and summer that works in the office and after work. FragranceGems lists it as unisex and moderate. If white flowers sometimes feel too heavy for you, a sample shows whether the geranium keeps this one light.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy try Velixir Selene as a sample first\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA floral perfume that starts with raspberry and ends with jasmine sambac can be charming or cloying, depending on your skin. A decant of Selene, filled by FragranceGems from the original bottle and labelled by us, lets you decide before you buy a bottle. The full bottle is at FragranceGems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWho made the Selene decant?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWe did: FragranceGems fills a glass spray vial from its own Velixir bottle and adds the label. Velixir is a FragranceGems house, so there is no outside brand behind this sample.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eIs rose geranium the same as rose?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNo. Rose geranium comes from a geranium plant and smells green, rosy and slightly minty. In Selene it sits in the base next to jasmine sambac, and it is listed separately from any rose.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eIs Selene very sweet?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRaspberry gives a sweet, fruity start, but peony, magnolia and rose geranium keep the scent floral and green. The intensity tag at FragranceGems is moderate. The sample shows how sweet it feels on you.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Velixir","offers":[{"title":"2 ml","offer_id":67693401800858,"sku":"DG-VEL-SELENE-002ML","price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"5 ml","offer_id":67693401833626,"sku":"DG-VEL-SELENE-005ML","price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"10 ml","offer_id":67693401866394,"sku":"DG-VEL-SELENE-010ML","price":10.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0782\/5938\/8570\/files\/velixir-selene-sample.jpg?v=1791495335","url":"https:\/\/decantgems.eu\/products\/velixir-selene-sample","provider":"DecantGems","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
