Less than two years after the release of the song "Gucci Rush" (1999), as it entered the hundred of the most popular and bought fragrances. The first word of the name indicates belonging to the Gucci fashion house, and the second - translated from English - means “rush”. The name is very accurate, because the smell gives energy, literally charges with a positive. It’s not in vain that the bottle of bright red glass has the original form of an audio cassette (in the 90s they were still in use): you just want to press the “Scroll Forward” button to quickly enjoy the whole range of perfume.
What do we hear on the Gucci Rush cassette? Perfumer Michel Almerac, who created the fragrance, is a true composer. At first, it makes feminine floral notes sound - California gardenia and South African freesia. While the overture is still vibrating with a stretched string, the fruity and sweet aroma of peach is already entering - so spontaneous and unexpected. The melody continues to sound, and now subtle aromas of jasmine and somewhat aggressive smells of Turkish rose come to replace freesia and gardenia, which is slightly restrained by coriander. The base of the perfume is sweet, dry, chypre. Woody notes of oak moss do not sound like a man: they soften and become lighter in combination with vanilla, vetiver and patchouli, creating a feeling of romance with a touch of sensuality.
A year after the women's perfume, the Gucci Rush for Men perfume appeared, which immediately won the hearts of men of all ages. This composition is interesting because another heart note is applied to the spicy and woody base of sandalwood mixed with white musk and patchouli - white cedar, juniper and languid sandalwood. Chypre aroma also sounds in the upper octave - a green-spicy scent of cypress and sacred frankincense. But so as not to smell of a forest faun from a man, the authors Daniel Roche and Antoine Maizondia attracted the coloratura soprano of lavender flowers to the choir.
The composition turned out to be surprisingly courageous, energetic, but at the same time warm. This feeling of hidden, soft, like the tread of a tiger, cat's grace is especially felt in a train of aromas of sandalwood, musk and patchouli, which warm not only the owner, but also those around him. The aroma applied to the "hot spots" lasts about 14 hours. Men's perfumes "Gucci Rush", reviews of which are only enthusiastic, are attractive with their extraordinary magnetism. Some users see them as similar to Kenzo eau de toilette of this type, but most are sure that the Gucci smell is unique and individual.
Inspired by the success of the classic "Rush", Gucci fashion house decided in 2001 to make a remake of women's perfumes, which are called - "Gucci Rush 2". However, this is not a marketing move to squeeze profits from a popular fragrance - the novelty is interesting in itself and we are not even afraid to say so, it surpasses the “first series”. From the predecessor, only the shape of the bottle was preserved, but even that became dark pink. However, Michel Almerac decided to move away from the classical vertical pyramid of smells - the composition is revealed immediately, as if “horizontally”, allowing you to feel all the components at the same time.
In the women's perfume "Gucci Rush 2" floral (freesia, rose, daffodil, lily of the valley, field lily), wood (oak moss, palm), fruit (black currant) and spicy (white noble musk) fragrances interwoven. Once again: it all sounds at the same time, a powerful choir. These perfumes are created for a young and liberated adventure hunter, they are bright, but not aggressive, light and delicate. They can be used during the day, under a light summer dress (while the classic "Rush" is more suitable for evening toilets in the autumn-winter period).
