Roses on Ice
Roses on Ice by Kilian is an unisex eau de parfum from 2017 in the luxury price tier. It opens with gin, lime and juniper berry, moves into damask rose and tea rose and dries down to white musk and cedarwood. Expect around 7 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Gin Juniper and citrus peel with an alcoholic sting.
- Lime Sharper and greener than lemon. Reads a bit tropical, a bit barbershop.
- Juniper Berry Gin, basically. Piney, dry and bracing.
Heart
- Damask Rose The rich, jammy, honeyed rose. Deep and slightly wine-like.
- Tea Rose A paler, greener rose. Less jam, more stem and fresh petal.
Dry-down
- White Musk Clean, soft, laundry-like. The 'smells like nothing but better' note.
- Cedarwood Dry, pencil-shaving woodiness. Clean and structural.
