Kilian 冰雪玫瑰 Roses On Ice

Kilian Hennessy's inspiration: Introducing a brand new collection, Kilian Hennessy felt it was time to pay tribute to his heritage, as heir to the renowned French cognac making family, and to his choice olfactory intoxicants 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.

The Perfume: Anyone for notes of gin, distilled with rose and cucumber? The perfume 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.

創作靈感：
以小黃瓜玫瑰和水生的新鮮、杜松子的漿果芬芳開啟，營造出一種冰冷的感覺，並以豐潤的玫瑰融合，最後在檀香麝香的呵護中，持續保持著琴酒的深刻魅力。

這隻香水的評價蠻兩極的，
要看我們從哪個角度去解析它？
它原本是軒尼詩先生以琴酒的角度製作這隻香水，以琴酒的酒香呈現，相當完美；
只是在標題上以“冰雪玫瑰”來設定，
這讓許多玫瑰的粉絲、或是許多不知情的香友使用，大大誤解了這隻香水的真實意義，
認為根本沒有玫瑰，且滿滿的小黃瓜味？

我認為，是的！沒錯！
誠如大家所評論的，
根本毫無玫瑰，是小黃花冰水~哈~
但平心而論，它其實是一款琴酒香氣，
對於酒香粉絲的我來說，
這無疑是一隻冰鎮清涼的琴酒，
柑橘清香、花果香氣、辛香與植物的根莖、還有木麝味。
