What does Velixir Ether Extrait smell like?
Aldehydes are sparkling, soapy molecules that perfumers have used for about a century to make a perfume read as fresh linen, and neroli adds a bitter-sweet orange-blossom note. Violet, jasmine and rose make a classic floral heart: powdery, rich and rosy.
Musk, ambroxan and Cashmeran make the base: soft musk, a dry, salty wood-amber molecule, and a woody-musky ingredient with a warm, slightly spicy softness. Musky, aldehydic and soapy are the main accords the brand lists, so the whole list points at clean and soft: a floral built on soap and musk.
The name Ether
Ether, also written Aether, is the primordial Greek god of the bright upper air that the gods breathe, as distinct from the lower, misty air.
Who is Velixir Ether Extrait for?
Readers who like clean, soapy florals with musk, and want the flowers to sit on a soft base, are the ones the list speaks to.
