Danish chef Kille Enna was inspired to start her own aroma brand after reading Patrick Süskind's Perfume: The Story of a Murderer. She debuts with four organic aromas that can be used to create flavored waters.
How to drink: This certified organic aroma adds scent and flavour to your water. Give the inside of a beautiful glass 15 puffs with the aroma. Breathe. Discover. Sense. Then add 1 dl/100 ml water. Enjoy the aromatized water before your meal as a delicate aperitif, while reading a good book or for the business meeting. The glass flacon is designed as a personal accessory. A fine companion for the road, the office or on the plane. All you need to do is add water. Do not drink undiluted.
Damask Rose / Heather Flowers ~ "A lavish luxurious blend with enticing scent moments of extensive mesmerising and flourishing summer meadows. Underneath these feminine accords caraway is unfolding a touch of comforting wood notes. Irresistible decadence from warm damask rose. Earthy heather tips and flowers provides honey sweetness and light hay accords. R.H is a floral bouquet of wild nature in bloom."
Ginger / Rosemary from Uganda ~ "A fresh blend that captures the superior composition of yellow ginger roots. A small ginger variety with significantly more aromatic elegance and less vibrant than ordinary roots. Balanced with herbaceous rosemary that unfolds short moments of bitter undertones. Grown in the sandy red soil of Uganda. G.R is Kille Enna´s admiration for these selected yellow ginger roots mesmerising pure character. The blend present a honey caramelized aroma profile with warm aromatic ginger accords accompanied with spiced up verdant notes from rosemary needles before revealing floral delicacy."
Green Cardamom / Lavender Flowers ~ "Green cardamom is an iconic and precious spice. A dazzling scent and flavour expression with fresh peaks of eucalyptus, camphor and citrus notes. This blend is an exclusive sparkle, evoking memories from the Middle East that mingle between elegance, cooling camphor notes, green herbaceous effects and silent sweetness. C.L is Kille Enna's ode to the intoxicating power of green cardamom. A tempting signature blend embracing floral accords."
Liquorice Root from Uzbekistan ~ "Kille Enna wanted to present a dark masculine single blend that unfolds rich sweet accords without adding any type of sugar. Liquorice root is distinctively warm with a unique delayed sweetness. This is because liquorice root, especially the bark, contains glycyrrhizin - a natural substance that is said to be almost fifty times sweeter than sugar. A most extraordinary sweetness that is less instant and lasts longer. L. is a timeless blend providing endless accords of velvety sweetness."
The Kille Enna Aromas are €118 each for 50 ml, at Kille Enna.

But I go to the Middle Eastern store for rose essence and other floral root essences for flavoring water and tea?
And that’s much cheaper
But will add — I understand these to be “composed” flavors, like perfumes, not single ingredient essences.
MiO liquid for millionaires?
I had to google that!
Yikes, those prices…
so assuming “15 puffs” is like 15 sprays of perfume, I would guess that’s 1.5-2 ML of aroma per 100ML glass of water… so it’d be 3.5 – 5 euros per 100ML glass of perfumed water. I think I will stick with teas and tisanes…
I agree, crazy. Posted it mostly because I found it intriguing…she’s a well known chef and would think these are well done. But I put Scrappy’s Cardamom (or sometimes Grapefruit, or sometimes both) Bitters in my mineral water and I’m pretty happy with that — and I thought my bottle was crazy expensive already (I think it’s $18-20 or something?)
(and also admitting I noticed them at all because of the nice packaging!)
Oh, I’m sure they are incredibly well done, and if these perfumed waters were available at a restaurant I would definitely order a glass for the novelty, as a one-off thing … but I can’t imagine purchasing a vat of aroma to perfume my drinking water regularly. Those are beautiful bottles though.
I wouldn’t have thought of adding cardamom cocktail bitters to drinking water, that sounds delicious! I usually just drink a lot of iced chrysanthemum tea in the summer.. very refreshing.
Agree with all the comments that it’s pricey. But. I. would. love. to. try. them. all!
I’d like to try that licorice one.
