With his brand new olfactory family, Kilian Hennessy wishes to pay tribute to his heritage as heir to the famous French family of cognac producers and to its olfactory intoxicating substances that prolong the night until dawn . For his first collaboration with perfumer Franck Voelkl, Kilian Hennessy wanted to recreate the taste of a “gin on the rocks” with a hint of lime, his wife’s favorite drink.
The perfume :Roses, cucumber, and a few notes of distilled gin are in the spotlight… The Roses on Ice fragrance opens with the aquatic freshness of cucumber and the aromatic effervescence of juniper berries, creating an icy sensation, which s ’rounded in a voluptuous accord of Rose Centifolia. With its base notes of sandalwood and musk, the fragrance expresses the lively yet deeply infused character of gin.

Upon a drydown of sandalwood and musk, the scent expresses the sharp—yet deeply infused—character of gin consumed in its ideal.
