Alcohol-infused perfumes are not a novel idea in the realm of scented waters; nonetheless, it is crucial to emphasize that, rather than mere variants of spirits, perfumers have significantly innovated in this domain.
They have identified the elements that render alcohol aromatic — the toasty essence of whiskey and the crisp metallic undertones of vodka — and developed scents that emphasize these notes without imparting the scent of spilled spirits.

Introduced in 2011, Penhaligon’s Juniper Sling was among the initial successful implementations of alcohol-inspired perfumes. A crystal glass adorned with a green lime rim and filled with a chilled mixture of gin, tonic, and vodka serves as a refreshing remedy for the heat. This beverage is also featured in The Shilla Duty Free Singapore’s Fragrance Festival collection, an event that continues until 18 August 2022, during which travelers can obtain exclusive gifts when purchasing selected fragrances both in-store and online. For extended travel, there is a fragrance bundle sale offering discounts of up to 32% on your order.

In addition to being an extremely beautiful woody-chypre fragrance, Byredo’s Oud Immortel features a zesty and syrupy limoncello note that enhances its tobacco and oak moss undertones.

The alcohols in Carolina Herrera 212 VIP Men comprise vodka and gin; yet, it has a scent reminiscent of rum, possibly attributed to its amalgamation with amber, spices, and pepper.

Combine lime with coconut and a substantial amount of rum to create Creed Virgin Island Water, an aromatic embodiment of paradise.

The success of alcohol-inspired perfumes can be attributed to one contender: Maison Margiela Replica’s Jazz Club, which features rum absolute and exhibits exceptional longevity.

The precise type of alcohol is not specified in the ingredients list of Tom Ford Lost Cherry; nonetheless, it is plausible to conjecture that it is a cherry-infused rum that enhances the fragrance's sweetness.
