With his brand new olfactory family, Kilian Hennessy wishes to pay tribute to his heritage as heir to the famous French family of cognac producers and to its olfactory intoxicating substances that prolong the night until dawn . For his first collaboration with perfumer Franck Voelkl, Kilian Hennessy wanted to recreate the taste of a “gin on the rocks” with a hint of lime, his wife’s favorite drink.
The perfume :Roses, cucumber, and a few notes of distilled gin are in the spotlight… The Roses on Ice fragrance opens with the aquatic freshness of cucumber and the aromatic effervescence of juniper berries, creating an icy sensation, which s ’rounded in a voluptuous accord of Rose Centifolia. With its base notes of sandalwood and musk, the fragrance expresses the lively yet deeply infused character of gin.
OLFACTORY DESCRIPTION
Inspiration from Kilian Hennessy: At night, there is only one rule: be Smoking Hot! This new fragrance by KILIAN PARIS expresses a caramelized olfactory delight. Made with Kentucky tobacco, infused with a hint of apple-flavored hookah tobacco and wildly intense Bourbon vanilla.
The perfume : Smoking Hot opens with the forbidden fruit: a round flavor of apple hookah mingles with the warm essence of cinnamon bark. Notes of Kentucky tobacco cured by a burning fire lead to a slow combustion. Harmonized with oak moss, this tobacco absolute resonates with Bourbon vanilla with balsamic tones. Also known as Pure Jungle essence™, this is the highest quality vanilla available in the industry, particularly intense and textured. When crossed with Orcanox™, a powerful sensuality emerges.
Smoking Hot is the new smoky fragrance that joins the Les Volutes de Fumées olfactory family.
