By Kilian Roses on Ice

Kilian Hennessy's inspiration: When launching a collection, Kilian Hennessy felt it was time to pay tribute to its heritage as heir to the famous French cognac family and its selection of olfactory intoxicants for living the night until dawn. As his first collaboration with perfumer Franck Voelkl, Kilian Hennessy wanted to recreate the tasting of "gin on the rocks" with a splash of lime, reminiscent of his wife's favourite drink. The perfume: Who loves notes of gin distilled with rose and cucumber? The Roses on Ice perfume opens with the aquatic freshness of cucumber and the aromatic lift of juniper berries, creating an icy-fresh sensation, rounded off in an accord of luscious rose centifolia. After the drydown of sandalwood and musk, the fragrance expresses the sharp but deeply infused character of gin. Perfume notes: Cucumber, rose juniper and sandalwood Perfumer: Frank Voelk.
