Sweet and vanilla Velixir perfumes: notes and accords

Reading the sweet and vanilla family

Lactonic is the brand's word for a creamy, milky effect. Caramel and praline are gourmand notes, vanilla and tonka bean the classic sweet base. Sweet does not have to mean dessert: lavender and woods, as in two of these perfumes, pull vanilla towards the aromatic side, and Poseidon is filed as sweet next to citrus and fresh spicy accords.

The notes that recur most among these five perfumes: vanilla (4), bergamot (3), amber (3), lavender (2), tonka bean (2) and musk (2). The accords the brand names most for them: vanilla (4), sweet (3), amber (1), woody (1) and lactonic (1).

Choosing within the family

Galatea is the sweetest on paper: biscuit, caramel, milk, honey and praline. Orion adds cinnamon and ambroxan. Paladin and Adonis pair vanilla with lavender.
