Roses on Ice  Kilian Gin with rose and cucumber distillate, anyone? Roses on Ice opens with the coolness of cucumber and the uplifting aroma of juniper berries, giving an ice impression that is then completed out by the sensuous Rose Centifolia in the perfume’s opening accord. The aroma, with its base of sandalwood and musk, perfectly captures the crisp yet richly flavored nature of premium gin.
