Roses On Ice

Roses on Ice opens with the icy freshness of cucumber and juniper berries, that unmistakable gin profile, while lime and pink pepper add a citrus spark and a light bite. Violet leaf brings a green, stemmy bitterness. At the heart appears a centifolia rose: neither sweet nor powdery but fresh, as if just cut, with ozonic coolness around it. The finish is soft and dry: sandalwood, musk, ambroxan and cedar create the pleasant dizziness that follows a good cocktail.
