Velixir Ares is an eau de parfum that opens with citrus, mandarin and grapefruit, moves into cedarwood and sandalwood, and ends on musk, amber and patchouli.
Style A clean citrus-and-wood perfume: bright at the top, soft with musk below.
Notes as Velixir lists them on its own website, read on 24 October 2026.
What does Velixir Ares smell like?
The top is all citrus: the brand lists citrus as a general term, then mandarin orange and grapefruit, so sweet and bitter sit side by side. The heart is two woods, cedarwood, which is dry and pencil-like, and sandalwood, which is creamy; together they give the middle of the perfume a smooth, upright structure.
Underneath come musk for a clean, soft skin effect, amber for warmth and patchouli for a little earth. That makes four main accords in the brand's list, citrus, woody, musky and amber, and the notes show it: a bright start, a woody centre and a soft, warm base, with no flower and no gourmand note anywhere in the list.
