Rush
At 75ml, Gucci Rush Eau de Toilette 75ml is the sensible size for a fragrance this rich, because it is not a scent anybody wears three sprays of twice a day.
What makes it unusual is the absence of a bright opening. It begins on peach, soft and fleshy, with californian gardenia giving an immediate creamy weight and african freesia petals adding a peppery green lift that keeps the first ten minutes awake. Most feminine fragrances start with citrus. This one goes straight to the flowers and the fruit, which is why it still sounds modern a quarter of a century on. Damascus rose and jasmine form the heart, deep and sweet respectively, with coriander providing a dry seedy counterpoint that is easy to miss and does a great deal of work. The base is where it becomes memorable: vanilla, soft and milky rather than cloying, over patchouli for damp earth and vetiver for dry root. Nine materials in all, composed by Michel Almairac and released in 1999.
Reckon on five or six hours of wear and a trail that fills a small room in the early stages. It reads feminine and mature, belongs to the evening and to autumn and winter, and it suits anybody who prefers a fragrance with some weight behind it. This is a bottle to own alongside something lighter rather than as an only fragrance, and the 75ml size reflects that: it will last a very long time at two sprays an evening. Gucci is a Florence house, founded in 1921 by Guccio Gucci on luggage and travel goods and later known for its riding inspired hardware, its loafer and its clothing. Kering owns the company, and the fragrances have always been licensed out to specialists.
