A crystalline gin inspired rose that feels chilled from the first spray, Roses on Ice opens with cool cucumber and brisk juniper over a squeeze of lime, then eases into a luminous Centifolia rose accord that stays airy rather than powdery, before melting into a smooth base of sandalwood and musk for a clean elegant trail that suits warm days, smart evenings, and anyone who loves a refreshing twist on rose.

Story and Positioning
Created for The Liquors collection, Roses on Ice reimagines the sensation of gin on the rocks with rose and cucumber, giving a bright cocktail-like lift with a sleek, woody drydown for lasting presence. It sits alongside Angels Share, Apple Brandy on the Rocks, and Fievre Verte within Kilian Paris, offering a fresh take that is crisp, modern, and easy to wear when you want purity with personality.
Bottle and Design
The bottle channels an Art Deco bar glass. Heavy cut glass is engraved with the signature K motif to catch the light, topped with a weighty cap and a golden diamond plaque at the front. It builds turns the flacon into a lasting object of design with serious shelf presence.
