Frank Voelkl

"Roses on Ice EDP is a unisex aromatic-aquatic fragrance from Kilian built around the idea of a gin-inspired chilled drink. Released in 2020 and created by Frank Voelkl, it opens with a cooling blend of cucumber, juniper berries, and lime that gives it a crisp, icy character. The heart introduces a soft rose accord with ozonic nuances, keeping the composition airy rather than dense or syrupy. In the base, musk, sandalwood, ambroxan, and cedar provide a clean woody-musky finish that reinforces the fresh metallic-cool effect. The fragrance is widely described by users as unusual, clean, watery, and green, with the rose playing a restrained supporting role rather than dominating the structure. Within The Liquors collection, it stands out as one of the fresher and less overtly boozy entries."

Reviews Summary

“Reviews consistently describe Roses on Ice as a fresh, cooling, watery rose with prominent cucumber and juniper over a clean musky-woody base. Many users find it distinctive, elegant, and easy to wear in warm weather, while others feel the rose is subtle and the cucumber can read vegetal or salad-like on some skin. Performance is generally rated as moderate, with several reviews citing around 4 hours, though a minority report stronger longevity. Overall sentiment is positive to mixed, with appreciation for its uniqueness and freshness but some criticism of value and linearity.”
