Kilian Vodka on the Rocks EDP 1 ml decant

Kilian Vodka on the Rocks — a fresh and crystal-clear fragrance from By Kilian, inspired by the sensation of icy vodka served with sparkling ice cubes. The composition conveys the effect of cold purity and transparency, as if the fragrance is made of icy facets and fresh air. It is an elegant and minimalist perfume, built around cold spicy and woody accents that create a sense of refined freshness.

Opening of the fragrance

The fragrance opens with a bright accord of cardamom and coriander, which give the composition a cool spiciness and slight sharpness. The top notes feature a characteristic aldehydic effect, creating the illusion of icy freshness and crystalline transparency. In the heart, rhubarb unfolds, adding a light fruity tartness and green freshness. It is supported by hints of rose, which sounds clean and restrained, without excessive sweetness, making the composition more multifaceted and harmonious.

The base of the fragrance is built on a combination of ambroxan, sandalwood, and soft woody notes.

These accents give the fragrance depth and longevity, while maintaining a sense of cold elegance. The woody structure gradually becomes warmer but does not lose its transparency, creating a refined and noble sillage.

Vodka on the Rocks belongs to the unisex category.

It unfolds harmoniously on both male and female skin, but due to its dry spicy-woody structure and cold character, it is often perceived as more masculine. It will particularly suit those who appreciate fresh, clean, and minimalist compositions with a slight spicy nuance. The fragrance sounds best in warm weather or during the day, when its crystalline freshness is revealed most brightly.
