Hip-Hop

Bought a 10ml decant when it came out and I still don't know why I haven't picked up a full bottle yet. Fruity, boozy, and musky.....with a faint hint of chocolate. This feels like it morphs into something different every time I wear it. This is a big love for me. It's different than anything else I own....but in the best way imaginable. This lifts up my spirit and gives me the utmost confidence....as all of the other Zernell Gillie fragrances do in my collection. If you're looking for something that sets yourself apart from everyone else, this should be on your list to try. If you're looking for attention with your fragrances, this should also be on your list. I will always support Zernell and his creations as they are all home runs IMO. Cheers!!

This is just such a delicious scent. I think I sniff my arm more than with any other scent I have. It is also one of those smells that people come up to you and ask you about. It should be cloying and I think on some people it doesn't work. But I love how it smells on me, there is a roasted nutty/cocoa note that turns slightly salty later. its really rich and luxurious but also versatile; I often wear it to the gym and it makes me feel energized. The bottles for ZG could be a lot better though, I like the design but the sprayer is kinda shit and makes the experience feel cheaper than the quality of the perfume.

When I first started getting into fragrances, I had what I call revolutionary moments. Those were when I smelled something completely new - that blew my mind. Tommy for men was the first one - that was middle school. Then coolwater. A few here and there in college - but nothing special. Right after college is when tom ford released his private collection - oud wood, tobacco vanille, Tuscan leather - those were all revolutions for me. This too is a revolutionary moment for me. They come very few and far between - as I’ve been collecting for over a decade. Simply put - this is on my Mount Rushmore.

Hip-Hop wowed me. Definitely the best of Zernell's collection. Hard to describe because of how much there is going on, but one thing that truly stands out is the deliciously sour black currant. I've never smelled a fruit note like it in a fragrance before... it's so addicting to smell. Definitely a little green-ness, described as cannabis in some reviews but I can't pick it up. A little boozy, so it's just as perfect in the nighttime as it is in the daytime. I can't imagine what went into crafting a scent like this. Pure perfection.

a suave, silky, and effortlessly cool. Opens with jammy black currant, with an almost cannabis esque green touch to it. As someone who typically hates the note, its done incredibly here. There's smoky saffron enveloped in animalic, almost sweaty musks and powdery chocolatey undertones. This is a hard to pin down scent as are all of Zernell Gillie's. It smells like someone, fresh and clean, surrounded by sweaty bodies, buzzed and lively in a club. It's a gorgeous scent through and through
