Vodka on the Rocks is one of those fragrance names which fills you with excitement initially, there’s a saturation of boozy fragrances on the market currently, but not so much for the more refreshing spirits. Unfortunately this scent leaves much to be desired, it takes a step into the right direction before letting itself down rather dramatically. It cannot be ignored that this is simply Kilian’s rendition of the A&F Fierce DNA - it’s that instantly recognisable soapy-clean, teenage shower gel sort of thing. It’s pleasant, but there’s no element of creativity, originality or interest here; you might as well just buy Fierce. There is zero relation to vodka. It’s disappointing when niche houses which have made some incredible and original fragrances stoop to such a low level of stealing a cheap, tried and true scent profile just to boost sales. As I said this smells pretty good, but it’s the principle I don’t like.
