Kilian Vodka On The Rocks

Mostly cool and green, like herbs crushed between your fingers. Underneath that, sweet resinous warmth, soft and slightly powdery.

It opens on coriander, aldehydes and cardamon, moves through rhubarb, lily-of-the-valley and pink rose, and settles on ambroxan, oak moss and sandalwood.

• coriander: green seedy spice, faintly soapy with a citrus edge
• aldehydes: the fizzy, soapy sparkle that makes a classic perfume smell like perfume rather than like any one ingredient

It lasts well and carries into a room.

Built from the note listing and the measured performance figures. We have not smelled this one.
