Velixir Adonis is an eau de parfum that opens with lavender, bergamot and mint, carries vanilla and benzoin in its heart and rests on amber, tonka bean and woody notes.
Style A sweet, ambery lavender perfume with a cool mint start and a woody base.
Notes as Velixir lists them on its own website, read on 24 October 2026.
What does Velixir Adonis smell like?
Lavender, bergamot and mint make a cool, herbal start: lavender gives the clean, slightly sweet signal, mint adds sharp coolness and bergamot keeps the whole thing bright. Then the perfume turns sweet. Madagascar vanilla and benzoin, a balsamic resin, are two sides of the same warm sweetness, one creamy and one resinous.
The base repeats and deepens that idea. Amber is a warm resin accord, tonka bean adds a dry, hay-like sweetness that sits well beside vanilla, and the brand's term woody notes leaves the actual woods open. Velixir names vanilla, amber and woody as the main accords, which is what the notes add up to: a sweet, aromatic perfume with a woody floor.
