Joining Disco, Jazz and Hip-Hop and other musically inspired scents is Blues, an all-new Zernell Gillie Fragrances creation that's dark, sweet, woody and soulful.
This gender-neutral perfume extrait opens with plush apricot and coffee, softened by magnolia and almond blossom. As the scent settles, opoponax, brandy, ebony wood, molasses, and oud melt into a dark, resinous sweetness that wraps the skin in sultry depth. Zernell Gillie describes its latest launch as one "inspired by the soul and grit of the music that shaped generations in Chicago," as well as one that "embodies the heart, the struggle, and the beauty of the Blues."
Blues embodies a new generation of fragrance fans' interest in more than just feel-good scents—they want experiences that stir emotion and make them feel something real.
