Vodka on the Rocks (2026) by By Kilian: Woody Freshness from Sidonie Lancesseur
By Kilian surprises in 2026 with Vodka on the Rocks, a woody aromatic fragrance for men and women. The French house unveils a clean, vibrant composition crafted by perfumer Sidonie Lancesseur.
The new scent plays with contrasts: the sparkle of aldehydes and the spice of cardamom meet a soft floral heart and a base of oakmoss and sandalwood. The result is fresh, slightly soapy, and deeply sophisticated.
Vodka on the Rocks opens with a luminous, effervescent burst. Aldehydes deliver a sensation of crystal and bubbles, while coriander and cardamom introduce a spicy warmth that balances the initial coolness. It's a clean, almost metallic start that evokes the transparency of ice.
In the heart, rose and lily of the valley soften the blend with a delicate white floral touch. Rhubarb adds a tart, slightly vegetal edge, creating an interesting tension with the sweetness of the flowers. The fragrance becomes more polished and refined here.
The base rests on oakmoss and sandalwood, offering woody depth and an earthy nuance. This combination recalls a damp forest after rain, yet with a clean, modern finish. The mossy accord takes center stage, providing longevity and presence.
The main accords of this creation are mossy, fresh, aldehydic, and earthy, with hints of white floral, soapy, and rose. It's a versatile fragrance, ideal for those seeking a pristine, natural trail without losing character.
Vodka on the Rocks (2026) is for those who enjoy fresh yet substantial fragrances, with a soft spot for modern woods and discreet florals. Its unisex nature makes it perfect for anyone who loves clean, lightly spiced scents with a green undertone.
In short, By Kilian offers an intriguing composition that pairs the crispness of aldehydes with the warmth of wood. It's not a loud perfume—quite the opposite: it invites closeness. A great addition for collectors and aficionados of refined scents.
