Zernell Gillie Rock Extrait
Description
Rock is Zernell Gillie's celebration of rock music across the decades, from Chicago blues clubs to today's giant outdoor stages. This extrait de parfum hits like the first chord of a riff: a spark of lime, yuzu and crisp apple, then tuberose, ginger, opoponax and saffron for heat and attitude, over a resinous base of black hemlock, ambroxan, white olibanum and metallic musk.

Performance
Rock is a new 2026 release, so independent longevity and sillage reports are not yet established and we will not quote a precise hour count. The house describes a resinous base with serious staying power. As an extrait it is designed for long wear and a noticeable presence; citrus openings fade quickest, and the ambroxan and olibanum base carries the rest. Results vary with skin and weather.
