Vodka on the Rocks

Vodka on the Rocks by By Kilian is a crisp, aromatic fragrance that evokes the sensation of a chilled glass of vodka with ice. The opening features bright aldehydes, sharp coriander, and a hint of green rhubarb, creating a refreshing, effervescent first impression. This transitions into a clean, lily-of-the-valley middle with subtle sweetness, before settling into a softly musky, ambery base dominated by ambroxan and sandalwood. While some users note it leans masculine and feels similar to designer fragrances like Fierce by Abercrombie & Fitch or Percival by Parfums de Marly, the notes are balanced, and the aldehydes lend a lively, sparkling quality. Its low-impact sillage and moderate longevity mean it favors intimate wear, though it performs well on clothing. Often praised for its clean, wearable character and day-to-night versatility, it stands out as a refreshing, accessible option among Kilian’s line.
