Simple
Is the perfume simple? Yes, but that's not a negative thing, it just means it's a common one. It is aquatic with aromatic, brackish, ozonic and functional characteristics.

The opening reminds common deodorants as if it were the smell of things that we feel in our day to day. The perfume is initially a somewhat spicy mix, with the presence of coriander and cardamom.

The transition to drying gradually incorporates rhubarb with lily of the valley and a slightly spongy oak moss. Added to this is a good dose of ambroxan, which is popular with the general public. Drying has an herbal aromatic freshness that reminds me of Cipresso di Toscana.

In my opinion the fragrance is a very trivial aromatic with a smell that reminds me of deodorants and washing powder. It's not exactly an unpleasant aroma, but with this proposal there are many perfumes that do the trick at a much lower cost. If you ask me what perfume it looks like I would say it resembles: Legend and Percival.

Due to its more relaxed vibe, I think it is a fragrance for hot climates (spring/summer). I find it ideal to be used in everyday life with casual clothes. The fixation on my skin lasts around 8 hours and the projection is average. The scent is light, soft, fresh, luminous, masculine, casual, youthful and ordinary.

Žubrowka on the Rocks? (Sidonie Lancesseur, 2014)
Scentrack: Richard Cheese – Gin and Juice

Good vodka is odorless and devoid of any taste, thus in my opinion, creating a vodka-based fragrance is a challenging task. One has to recreate the essence of this East European drink without obvious ethanol smell that consumers rate as cheap. It seems, the perfumer solved this problem by introducing some spicy and herbal element to the composition. Vodka on the Rocks opens with the pale whiteness of aldehydes accompanied by some pepper, strong coriander and herbal cardamom. The initial blast tenders gradually to washed flowers accord, delicate by design yet strong in performance. This fresh, futuristic bouquet is paired to very nice rhubarb note. All the interplay notes morphs to gray base of Ambroxan and something similar to white musk, which gradually lose their intensity. Does Vodka on the Rocks remind me of real vodka? Yes, but just on one brand. Polish vodka Žubrowka, infused with bison grass, and very distinct herbal qualities, which was prohibited by the FDA until 2010 due to its coumarin content. Additionally, the herbal aspects of this composition reminds of several G&T-inspired fragrances. The performance of the composition is average (5-7 hours) with moderate sillage.
In conclusion, Vodka on the Rocks, is a solid recreation of vodka atmosphere. However, it lacks distinctiveness of the other By Kilian offerings. Personally, it is not my cup of tea, but one who wishes to wear a fresh herbal/alcohol combo could appreciate this fragrance even more. Still, the main question remains - is it proper to drink vodka with ice?

Missed potential
I was actually excited when this scent was announced. The theme was intriguing (Vodka on the Rocks). I saw the interview Mr. Hennessy did about this scent and he said he was trying to achieve the feeling of vodka (which has no scent) being chilled by ice. Sounds great so far right? How was he going to achieve this feat? The idea was to use "cooling" spices (cardamom being a big player in this one) to create that illusion for your olfactive senses. I was on board totally. Wound up blind buying this one actually as a result. Time to find out if the "blind buy" roulette came back to bite me in the end.

The Smell: You look at the note breakdown after watching that interview and you're expecting magic right? True to his word, cardamom was the major player in this one and, if you close your eyes while smelling it, you can trick yourself into seeing the illusion of a "cooling effect." We have "the rocks" part of the title covered. The thing is this fragrance gave me another smell. One that isn't on the note breakdown but probably would have been more effective at achieving that cooling effect - eucalyptus. Every time I smell this scent now, I cannot get that smell out of my head even though I know it's the illusion created by the spices. The florals are there to help tone the spices down a bit and smooth the fragrance out but when I sniff it as I write this, it actually stings the nose a bit. Instead of providing an artistic, fun illusion, it's straight up assault on my olfactory nerve. Coriander, I suspect, is the guilty party here. It's sad because I was expecting the magic but I feel like the "illusion" was ultimately dispersed and left in its place was disappointment. It's also very linear and doesn't change much.
Rating: 5/10

Projection: Not the best, not the worst. The first 3 hours of wearing it, it was fairly decent. After that, it's a skin scent. I own two other by Kilian scents and neither one of them are projection beasts but they linger for a very long time. This one lingers but I feel like it just disappears after 6-8 hours. Might be my skin but it even left my clothing around the same time as well. Kilian even says most of his scents are meant to draw people closer and I agree that this should be the goal. You just better hope it happens within that 3-5 hour mark.
Rating: 6/10

Price: On luckyscent (where I get most of my niche stuff), it's $240 USD for 50 mL ($4.80 per mL). Not terrible but the price tag doesn't match what you ultimately pay for when you get this fragrance.
Rating: 4/10

Versatility: I can see how this can work in a variety of scenarios. Dates, special occasions, or just going to have a good time are all viable options here. The problem for me was that it was very cloying in warm weather. The spices felt like they were dialed up and I was in a rush to scrub it off of me. Cooler weather was where this really shined for me. I've worn it to work and class and it was not ideal. Not saying it doesn't work but it's not the best scenario for me.
Rating: 8/10

Final Rating: 5.8/10. When I look back at my original review on this, I was a bit more generous on the scent because I held out hope that there was something I was missing. There had to be a mistake with my nose or something. The more I wore it, the more rigid my belief was that this fragrance is just simple and missed the mark on what it tried to achieve in my opinion. Interesting concept but the execution was lacking something. Definitely worth a sample but I can't say that I'd buy it again. I'm a fan of several by Kilian scents and I have a ton of samples from them. I've learned my lesson on blind buying and will test those samples 'til the last drop. Cheers.

NOT MY CUP OF... HMMMM... VODKA?
It opens with an enormous blast of ambroxan and aldehydes, sharp and bold, immediately followed by the unmistakable tang of alcohol. As it settles, it dries down to a warm, spicy, and woody base, with a skin-like effect that feels incredibly intimate.

The scent is super peppery, with a strong coriander presence that adds an extra layer of spice. This fragrance is undeniably masculine, exuding that quintessential "men's cologne" vibe.

It's perfect for a casual, everyday wear. However, it's just not my thing. Not my cup of tea... I mean... not my cup of vodka!

I'd rather stay abstinent here!
Kilian is a brand for me with some decent to good fragrances, a whole lot of below-average to flopped scents, and so far, the big highlights have eluded me. Nevertheless, I have been following the "Alcohol Series" with interest. Not necessarily from the perspective of a "later consumer," but rather from the technical side, meaning, how well/authentic have they executed it!? With Single Malt, that has turned out quite well.
With Vodka on the Rocks, the comparison is much harder, as I don't have any vodka at home and I can't even remember the last time I actually drank vodka... despite the martial advertising... it never appealed to me... except back in the day as a regular club-goer with Vodka-Bull... which, in hindsight, was actually a perverse mix... based on the advertising, I now know why I don't have a pure soul;-)!
As for the scent, yes, it starts off alcoholically clear, slightly medicinally sharp-stinging and bitter in character. Interesting, but anything but a nose-pleaser. More of a smell than a perfume, an overdose of Ambroxan and a few lab flowers enhance the impression of sterility and harsh synthetics. Whether that's the case, I don't know, but the scent feels that way.
As it develops, the fragrance continues to flatten out, taking on a typical men's shower gel spice mix, but without the obligatory "marine" touch. It somehow feels like low-budget mainstream à la Ralph Lauren, Calvin Klein, Paco Rabanne, or Boss... not really bad, but for over €200, it's downright cheeky. During the scent's progression, Vodka on the Rocks repeatedly reminded me strongly of Fierce by A&F and Sauvage by Dior, so not exactly the most pleasant nose-pleasers either. The very last remnants of the scent quickly disappear, leaving the entire field to Ambrox01, which smells of artificial freshness with a slight woody note... that's it!
Conclusion: Although I am a marketing victim (everything has to look nice first, then be practical), the bottles are still the most beautiful in the perfume world for me, I won't fall for this deceptive packaging, even if this trick of "great exterior, little content" is found in many areas of life and often "works" there. For €30-40, I wouldn't say anything, but as it stands, I am very annoyed by the fuss with so little fragrance.
The longevity is good at 6-7 hours, the sillage is decent and still office-appropriate. The scent can be worn year-round and is for me 70:30 masculine.

Far from Niche, simple non-offensive scent profile. Smells like something you can scoop up at Sephora.

As if cardamom was used to conceal a lab accident.
Hideous.

Lemon garnished gin & tonic with the performance of an after shave. One for the cardamom lovers out there.

Feels like an aquatic gin instead of a vodka. Not bad, but it’s for my husband, not me. I gave it to him.

Very expensive perfume for what it offers. There are already several alternatives to this scent (such as Fierce or Legend).

Opens aromatic, little green, dries plain ambroxan. Bad performance. Some comparability to PDM's Percival in pyramid, but different product.

It doesn't necessarily have a vodka chord and reminds me a lot of Fierce.
