What does Velixir Persephone smell like?
Mandarin orange and pear are both soft: citrus without sharpness and fruit without syrup. Ambrette, a plant seed with a warm, skin-like, slightly nutty smell, forms the heart, so the middle of the perfume is closer to musk than to any flower.
Musk and benzoin, a sweet, balsamic resin, make the base. Citrus, musky and fruity are the three main accords the brand gives. Ambrette and musk are the two soft, skin-like notes in the list, so a soft, close character is what the notes point to.
