Roses on Ice – The Art of Gin and Elegance

Inspiration: As an heir to the renowned Hennessy cognac-making family, Kilian Hennessy sought to pay tribute to his heritage of fine spirits with a fragrance collection that mirrors the pleasures of exquisite drinks. In his first collaboration with perfumer Franck Voelkl, Roses on Ice was born—a crystalline tribute to gin on the rocks, splashed with a zest of lime.

Fragrance Story: The scent opens with a cooling wave of cucumber, adding an aquatic freshness that perfectly mimics the chill of ice in a glass. Juniper berries, the soul of gin, lend an aromatic sharpness, setting the stage for the voluptuous elegance of Rose Centifolia, which rounds the composition with a delicate floral contrast. The fragrance lingers with a refined dry-down of sandalwood and musk, embodying the sharp yet deeply infused character of gin enjoyed at its finest.
