Asteria was a complete blind buy. Based on the bottle design and the color I guessed it was going after a big name, maybe a Louis Vuitton fragrance, and my nose agreed. It opens very fresh, citrusy and clean. At one point I even thought of Pacific Chill, but I was wrong: it turned out to be inspired by Louis Vuitton City of Stars.
The notes I read off the brand page are blood orange, mandarin, bergamot and lemon on top, tiare flower in the heart, and powdery notes, musk and sandalwood at the base. As it dries down a little I get a sunscreen-like vibe that is musky and really nice. I am a big fan of a lot of the Louis Vuitton fresh fragrances, and this is a good inspired-by version of City of Stars. I love Velixir because it gives us so much value. I have not tested its performance yet, but almost every Velixir has performed on my skin in the hot, wet climate of the Philippines, so I expect it to do well, and I will give an update. Highly recommended.
