Icy Fresh Elegance: By Kilian Vodka on the Rocks Eau de Parfum
Evoke the crisp chill of a perfectly chilled vodka shot with the sparkling lift of aldehydes and cool spices like cardamom and coriander, blending into tart rhubarb and delicate florals, then grounding in a clean, leathery ambroxan-oakmoss base in By Kilian Vodka on the Rocks, launched in 2014 as part of The Fresh collection (unisex, aromatic fresh, refreshing appeal)—expertly composed by Sidonie Lancesseur to capture the frozen steam rising from ice cubes in a crystal tumbler, merging icy aldehydic brightness, herbal spice, and subtle woody-leathery depth. Revered as an aldehydic, fresh rhubarb-dominant scent with cardamom coolness, oakmoss earthiness, and ambroxan cleanliness, it’s frequently hailed as a luxurious, cocktail-inspired refreshment—balancing sharp icy lift with green-tart heart and sophisticated drydown, addictive crispness, and solid performance in a modern, serene composition.
This invigorating elixir opens with a crystalline burst of aldehydes, coriander, and cardamom for cool, spicy lift that’s fresh and exhilarating, then evolves into a heart of rhubarb, lily-of-the-valley, and pink rose for tart, floral-green layers that feel luminous and balanced, finally drying down to a base of ambroxan, oakmoss, and sandalwood for clean, musky-woody warmth with luxurious subtlety and lingering refined trail. It’s fresh yet spicy, icy yet green, crisp yet cozy—like vodka poured over ice with a hint of tart rhubarb, anchored in ambroxan-oakmoss that lingers as a confident, chilled aura of elegant refreshment. It bursts with aldehydes-cardamom—crisp, spicy, and strikingly cool with invigorating sparkle. The heart unveils rhubarb and lily-of-the-valley, creating a tart, floral core that’s balanced, green, and captivating. It dries down to a luxurious, lingering ambroxan-oakmoss embrace—clean, woody, and subtly grounding—forming an enduring, intriguing trail that’s unisex, serene, and endlessly alluring.
