Rush

Rush by Gucci is a feminine-leaning eau de toilette from 1999 in the designer price tier. It opens with freesia, peach and coriander, moves into gardenia, jasmine and rose and dries down to patchouli, vanilla, vetiver and musk. Expect around 8 hours of wear, and it projects strongly.

Notes, explained

Opening

Freesia Crisp, slightly peppery floral. Clean and a bit synthetic in a good way.
Peach Fuzzy, warm and slightly creamy. Soft rather than sharp.
Coriander Warm seed spice, slightly citrusy. A quiet workhorse.

Heart

Gardenia Creamy white floral with a mushroomy edge. Lush and old-Hollywood.
Jasmine Heady, sweet and slightly animal underneath. Rarely subtle.
Rose Can be jammy, green, peppery or soapy depending on the type. Not one smell.

Dry-down

Patchouli Damp earth and dark chocolate. Either you love it or it's your least favourite note.
Vanilla Sweet, creamy and warm. The most comforting note in perfumery.
Vetiver Dry, earthy, smoky grass root. Smells like soil and citrus peel.
Musk Warm, skin-like and slightly sweet. Makes a fragrance feel like you.
