Gucci Rush (for women)

Designer: Gucci Olfactive Group: Chypre Fruity

This is Gucci's second fragrance for women. Gucci Rush is very attractive and recognizable fragrance, impulsive and irresistible, just like the love at first sight. The name of the fragrance 'Rush' reminds of simulative drug, very widespread in America during 1980's. The intensive red bottle has a shape of video tape, a very unusual and modern design. The fragrance is composed like a luscious exotic flowers cocktail: Californian gardenia, South African freesia, jasmine and Turkish rose. Corriander, vanilla and patchouli emphasize the oriental character and uniqueness of this fragrance.

The top notes are gardenia and freesia; the heart is created of jasmine, Turkish rose and coriander, the drydown unites vanilla, patchouli and vetiver. The fragrance has a lingering trace that follows the woman and surrounds her from all sides. The perfume was created by Michel Almairac in 1999.

I do not understand it....When you look at what is in it I would think I would like it, but when you smell it; it is so horrible. Like formaldehyde. NASTY

A very unique scent. It smells so erotic and sensual. Absolutely amazing, one ot Gucci`s best scent ever! I love it!

This is such a unique and vibrant perfume; I absolutely love this fragrance. It is very strong and needs to me worn in very scant amounts, but on the right person this is a sexy, warm, sweet smell with an underlying exotic, spicy appeal. I wore it for a while before bouncing onto my next scent, but reviewing it on here has made me consider purchasing another bottle. I love intense it is and don't find it to be obnoxious at all. I can see how some find it masculine, though, it can be quite strong, especially if you use too much.

I love how this smells...from a few feet away. What I don't like is how it smells on me, and close to my nose. It's intriguing and very alluring from a distance, but too sweet and minty up close and personal. I will never wear it again, but could appreciate it on a coworker or friend.

This also happens to be one of the few perfumes I've found that I cannot decipher ANY note from at all. It blends into this strange concoction that, to me, doesn't smell anything even remotely like a perfume. I can't compare it to anything I've smelled before, perfume or otherwise!

Extremely original and unique, and lasts forever. I despise the bottle.

Certain perfumes bring a mental image to mind. The image Rush brings to my mind: a pale 20-ish woman with greasy dark hair curled away from her face (Farrah Fawcett-style), smelling of cigarette smoke and vomited fruity drinks, wearing jeans she has to lie down to zip, talking too loudly in the parking lot of a dance club because she's drunk and can't tell how loud she is. If I had to work next to someone who wore this, I'd consider paying them to wear something else. When I have a sample of a fragrance, I always try it at least twice on different days, but I couldn't bear a second try on this one.

My aunt wears this as her signature scent and always smells beautiful. It is quite a strong, memorable fragrance but also has a certain softness to it, the peach, corriander and jasmin definately stand out and make a big statement of soft yet spicy strong yet airy type qualities. It also has amazing lasting power. Although I would not wear this fragrance myself as it does not suit my personality, it has the potential to smell gorgeous on the right person.

Its always funny how certain people like to claim how a fragrance is "definately not for everyday use" what happens if you use it everyday? Will you be shuned by all people around you? Who are you, the perfume police? Each to their own :)

i dont like it for some reason and i thought i would. it smells like toni and guy products.

Oh, who can forget the magazine scent strips bearing this lovely creation in the late nineties? They were everywhere, and they assaulted the nostrils without apology, literally seducing women through the pages of a magazine. I was no exception, and to this day, whenever I get a whiff of the intoxicating aroma, I’m in love all over again. Similar to a pensieve in Harry Potter, chypres can capture and hold onto memories for an endless period of time. Want proof? Wear Rush during a vacation or at the beginning of a relationship or some other emotional or exciting period of your life, then shelve it for awhile. Pull it back out in a year or two and take a whiff, and I guarantee you’ll either have tears in your eyes or be swooning. Rush is a time machine that is capable of transporting you back, emotion-wise, to the period of your life in which you wore it.

Some perfumers can get away with copying parts of a perfume and passing it off as an original because the first version was so forgettable; Rush has, to my knowledge, never been successfully copied as it is instantly recognizable and undeniably original. If fragrances were assigned to each zodiac sign, this one screams of the nature of the Aries; fiery, dynamic, arriving without apology for its red and nonconformist bottle, full of confidence, secure in all its originality, and eager to conquer. I hate the tacky bottle so reminiscent of a VHS tape, but I can’t imagine it housed in anything else; it’s a perfume so necessary, it’s accepted in spite of its unconventional packaging and eventually adored for its enduring character. I credit Rush, or rather perfumer Michel Almairac, with having introduced me to perfume as an art and something more than just a playful accessory.

If you’ve been living under a rock and haven’t experienced Rush, you’re in for a treat, if only because you’ve never smelled anything like it before.

this is strange,first when I smelled it I realized,I like it very much.the first fruity notes are just admirable by a fruity girl by me.but as the time passed I found it boring.I don't know why,but it smells just like too many other fragrances that I've smelled and I don't remember by name.there's something artificial and repetitive that I can't take!I think it's a kind of artificial sweetness mixed with peach that annoys my nose.by the way test it more than once on your skin and make sure you really like it before buying.
though my first impression about this perfume is positive,I prefer
rush 2.at least it doesn't annoy me after 30 minutes of wearing it.
05/01/09 11:05:44
this is sexy unforgettable...
i spray it on paper and keep it as book mark, and it last more than 3 days ^^
more longer it is, more nice it is...
04/21/09 21:25:29
It's a fresh, cool, sweet, sexy and still modern perfume!!! One of my favorites! I like to wear it when the season changes winter/spring; and surely at parties!!!
02/15/09 07:24:51
I love it but I'm not "in love" with it. I found it easy to wear, a nice perfume but I didn't connect with it in a strong way. It's not an emotional perfume, it's something you'd wear for a fun day shopping. It's probably good as a gift since I can't think of anyone who'd be offended by it. I think the best word for it would be "fun".
02/06/09 14:47:31
 
it is mainly a great perfume, one of the best smells that I felt already, in evolution terms he passes from an intense coolness to an outstanding and hot aroma and it finishes in notes almiscareds in a beautiful way!
01/24/09 14:54:04
 
Een geur die ik al garen heb. Er wordt gezegd; je houdt van de geur of haat deze geur.
Voor mij fantastisch. Blijft de hele dag lang te ruiken, is lekker zoet, maar niet te zoet, en ook fris( zoet).
Een jasje of een trui ruikt de volgende dag nog heerlijk naar deze geur.Een warme geur voor zomer en winter.
Bruno Banani heeft ook een geur die bijna exact hetzelfde ruikt.(Bruno Banani Woman )
01/24/09 14:35:26
 
bold...heavy...powerful...sexy-killing..these all behind this stuff!!!
but only the bottle is slightly disagree...not interesting too modern like a teen pf.
01/19/09 13:27:23
I wore this when I was 18 in 1999. Very appropriate name for that time in my life!! :) The scent is strong and heady. It reminds me of a better version of Exclamation by Coty. I remember getting tired of it quick. I can't imagine anybody still wearing this!! Its so 90's.
01/14/09 13:25:32
The bottle (if you can call it that) is rather strange. But as I liked the scent on a teststick from a fragance shop here in NL I decided to buy it while in the US for work. I tried it on a few days ago and I liked it. But after a while it started smelling kinda earthy and I didn't like that. I hope it was my nose catching a cold. I will try again when my airways are clear.
12/22/08 08:00:04
this perfume makes me feel excited and sexy. a unique mixture .
12/13/08 10:51:12
Could someone please tell me why I love this fragrance so much? Whenever I wear Gucci Rush(f) I feel as though I am wearing cashmere. It has both a sensuality and a lovely casual elegance about it that I just adore. Hmmm I feel good just thinking about wearing it.
12/11/08 08:55:56
i do believe that this one is a classic, sweet perfume and you feel very elegant when you wear this. but i prefer the summer version because is a little bit fruitier at the begining but has the originas Rush base
11/04/08 16:05:21
One of my favorites. Definitely a classic. I love this scent. Something I will never get tire of. Beautiful and mysterious!
10/16/08 18:12:48
One of the best, most fresh scents for women out there! It's perfect!
10/15/08 16:20:29
one of my top ten s too!!! and god knows i've smelled and tried perfumes-and still do!!!!!! addictive too,
10/13/08 09:51:23
 
Chypre fruity! What and where chypre? I can not smell the fruit in it, maybe a slight bit of peach with vanilla. This is so not for me, I really don't like it. I hate it as much as I hate angel
10/13/08 08:37:54
Intoxicating! Powdery sweet scent that linger till you scrub it off. Though I like it but this is not for everyday used, no matter how little you put it on. And lemme tell you, too much of this thing can kill you.
10/11/08 05:54:51
There are fragrances I like and I wear, there are fragrances I would never wear myself, but I like them on the others, there are fragrances I don’t like, but I can understand that other people like them and there is Gucci Rush – the only fragrance I can’t stand and I can’t imagine how can anyone like it.
10/10/08 14:24:42
 
This was one of the gifts from my boyfriend. I've never payed attention at that weird plastic box, and when I smelled it I couldn't believe I never tried it before.Lovely perfume, gives an irresistible sexy scent, my boyfriend made a great choice.
10/06/08 01:16:48
I could never quite understand its appeal. It's so overpowering that my nose itches. Everything about it screams sex, and not in a sophisticated way. It's not awful, but you won't find me buying it anytime soon.
09/27/08 01:21:21
very very strong. i have a friend who loves to wear it and it gives headache to most people i know. it could be a nice scent if used sparingly.
09/23/08 01:49:29
I love the spicy notes of coriander in this one. Also, it's long lasting, and the patchouli isn't too strong - as in Youth Dew.
Guys love this on me. ;)
09/20/08 08:52:34
okay, so i went to shopper's today and sprayed myself on the wrist...it doesn't smell like it did years ago!! its probably a combination of things, one being that i don't smoke anymore (which makes a lot of things smell differently) and two might be that my chemistry has changed since having a baby, which believe me i think really does happen. sadly, this smells almost like oranges to me and not the musky yumminess that it used to have. ah well, c'est la vie.
08/30/08 15:53:36
i am going to get another sample of this, i used to wear this back in 99/00...but i also used to smoke back then! i hope i still love it with my sense of smell intact!
08/27/08 16:50:29

If u like spicy scents, you've love this perfume.
08/10/08 11:48:34
I really love this one!
It was my only fragrance from 2002 til 2006, when a good friend of mine decided to copy my scent! I got so angry! but it`s alright now, that I have so many others! this is my bf`s favorite on me, cause this was the one I was wearing when we started dating! I think I will always have one bottle! It was love by first smell! lol
08/10/08 11:36:12
I don't know why I bought this, didn't like it at all so I ended up using it as a room spray. Too heavy and masculine in my opinion.
08/02/08 04:04:57
I can't stand this fragrance, it smells like a plastic on me.
07/30/08 13:50:08
This is one of the sexiest perfumes i have ever smelled! even the packaging is red hot sexy! I bought it for my girlfriend and she loves it, and when she wears it i go nuts!
07/13/08 12:07:16
one of my favourites as well, but use sparingly! a very strong fragrance, a little goes a long long way. warm, sexy and delicious makes you sniff your arm again and again. would not wear it in the spring or summer great winter or late fall scent.
07/08/08 17:43:41
Wow. Not to offend, but I can't believe there are people that actually enjoy this scent, or dare so much as to wear it. I really prefer the Rush for men! This reminds me slightly of Gwen Stefani's perfume, L -L.A.M.B (which is my most hated fragrance). Very plastic-y, loud, and obnoxious. Nothing wrong with strong fragrance, but this is just so far from my tastes. I don't know what it is in this fragrance that makes me dislike it so much.
07/06/08 15:55:11
one of my all time favorites! so sexy and vibrant!
06/26/08 10:28:38
One of my top 10. Really sexy scent! And lasts forever! Warm and sweet in a good way. You will get noticed if you wear it.
09/21/07 04:48:58
One of my favorite fragrances. Woody plastic, the most radiant ever!
