Roses on Ice by Kilian – Fresh, aromatic and sophisticatedly intoxicating fragrance

What does a glass of gin, served over ice with a slice of lime, smell like in the middle of the night? Roses on Ice by Kilian Paris responds with a fragrance that captures that exact moment: sparkling, refined, and seductive. Inspired by his wife's favorite cocktail—a "Gin on the Rocks" with a lime twist—Kilian Hennessy transforms this drink into an olfactory gem full of freshness and sensuality.

Part of The Liquors collection, this fragrance is also the first collaboration with perfumer Franck Voelkl, and has become one of the maison's most original and glamorous offerings.

A frozen rose and gin cocktail

The fragrance opens with a burst of fresh cucumber and juniper berries, evoking the first sip of crystal-clear gin over ice. This frozen effect is enhanced by a spicy lime accord and aromatic nuances that bring refined freshness.

In the heart, the absolute protagonist emerges: the centifolia rose, voluptuous, moist, floral without being powdery. Alongside it, a greener, more pungent variety of rose—the so-called Jupiter rose—provides a subtle contrast reminiscent of the bouquet of a gin infused with floral botanicals.

Finally, base notes of creamy sandalwood and soft musk prolong the fragrance's longevity on the skin, enveloping the freshness with an unexpected and addictive sensuality.
