Roses on Ice

Kilian Hennessy's Inspiration: Introducing The Liquors, Kilian Hennessy felt it was time to pay tribute to his heritage, as heir to the renowned French cognac making family, and to his olfactory choice for driving the night towards dawn. As a first-time collaboration with perfumer Franck Voelkl, Kilian Hennessy wanted to recreate the tasting of "gin on the rocks" with a splash of lime—recalling his wife's favorite drink.

The Perfume: Anyone for notes of Gin, distilled with Rose and Cucumber? Roses on Ice opens with the aquatic freshness of Cucumber and the aromatic uplift of Juniper Berries, creating an icy sensation, rounded in an accord with voluptuous Rose Centifolia. Upon a drydown of Sandalwood and Musk, the scent expresses the sharp—yet deeply infused—character of Gin consumed in its ideal.
