I crossed some sort of bro code line I wasn't aware of, and he stopped wearing it all together. I used to wear it years ago and I have been trying to find good replacement ever since. I adore the feminine version of Gucci Rush, so I was very curious to try the men's version. It's a pity that nowadays Gucci is launching so many banal creations and they discontinued all the visionary jewels that Ford created for them in the early 2000s (Gucci eau de parfum, Gucci pour homme, the Rush duet). It is a moderately musky sandalwood and cypress fragrance, very brisk, with a heavy dose of artificiality. I usually do not buy imitations but because it was Rush I just had to.. Love it! seems a version 1.0 of body kouros.

UPDATE: I finally have a partial bottle, versus a fleeting sample.

I don't get it. Perfect in any way!!!! Gucci Rush for men was the only one and its so sad they stopped to produce it. Is that true that Pal Zileri's Sartiorale is similar to Rush for men? Its quite a gem and lasts a longtime on my skin. By that comparison, it's both an improvement in composition and a major downgrade in strength and longevity. The opening is one of the sexiest openings I have ever come across and is by far my favorite of all of my fragrances! I was 6 years old when im going vacation with my family.. At duty free store of the airport I used to try many frags (as a perfume lover from the day I was born).

The only thing left is a piece of a deodorant stick.

I remember it being way too musky and spicey and manly in a bad way.

I can only smell it on my skin for up to 3-4 hours max, and after the first ten minutes it becomes a extremely light skin scent.. Cut to hubby putting the Gucci Rush in the fire safe along with the pencils.

Then I started to crying and a girl from the store gave me a sample of Rush. My first introduction to Rush was through sampling Generic Perfumes clone about two years ago. The comparisons to Azzaro Visit are somewhat accurate but Visit is a better fragrance with more discernable notes and MUCH better perfomance. Rush does smell like something that was released in the year "2000" but It was very modern for it's time.. rather low on sillage and duration.. pretty sure if this juice was stil on the shelves half of the hype would be gone in a minute! Not exactly the same but very close.

A lot of the people compared this to encre but not for me. RUSH was first love. TL is way stronger (and different) but I can't shake the way they have this similar vibe. , My signature scent for quite a while.

Actually it was killed, and that made it inmortal. I fexkin love this! can also remind eau des Baux and slightly Fahrenheit Another excellent perfume created under the art direction of Tom Ford. I don't think that's a good thing. The best practice is before buying Gucci Rush, sample it, and see if it blends with your body chemistry and character. Indian sandalwood fragrance, with notes divine incense. I took one whif and it instantly brought back so many memories!! 9/10. Makes me feel like doing naughty things! I didn't care though, it smelled THAT good. It does not smell pleasant, it smells of an old air freshener that you have had locked away for 20 years+!

I love it. I bought it again cause I am hooked on buying fragrances:) and it brings back a lot of memories, because it was my signature scent. A personal favorite .

Voluptuous, philosophical, frank, magical. This way you will know first-hand if you like it and even how long it lasts before making a decision. Well in general this is dependable on many factors from skin chemistry to the time of the year and most importantly the fragrance itself. I loved it and missed it so much.

The ratings on the longevity, sillage, and the similar fragrances are all skewed.. This is terrible. I am one of those who really love the original Rush for men and I cherish the last drops of the original 2003 batch.

I primarily smell Lavender and light Incense on Sandalwood in Gucci Rush for Men.

It was a sad loss. If you had a vile of Tuscan Leather and Rush and a/b them, you would see what Im talking about. But with everything I've had for a long time and suspect it could be vintage, I came to Fragrantica and then to eBay. Eight different versions of guilty, made to measure, a sad remake of PH.

The sexiest male perfume has ever madeNot only the much sandalwood but the incense,which is not listed as note..It gave a special "aura"..It's a shame that it's discontinued. I wasn't fussed on the first spray, but once it dried down pepper and musks! Even though the projection and longevity are far from what I would like it to be the scent of Rush itself is out of this world! Im glad it has been discontinued!!! If any one is selling/ willing to sell or split pls DM me aaaaaaasap. Rush doesn't change much on me, but just keeps getting weaker until it quickly fades into oblivion, even on clothingunless the bottle I got was just too old, but then I would have expected a lack of topnotes rather than a quiet disappearance. Now what do they have? I just grabbed yesterday a 100ml bottle of this magnificent fragrance, for about 100 USD. This rambling of thoughts and emotions is what my physical pain is made of. The aroma is very powdery and woody with sandalwood, lavender and patchouli being very apparent which I really like. Not to mention it was the product of the collaboration of two great noses.

That was followed by a period of snide comments about my wanting to smell like him. Does it really smell like Profile Amber18? Something to think about??? It blends, it become you, it makes you naturally (the earthiness) smell great.

When I showed him how much they are going or he said, "What fool is going to pay $500 for a bottle of this?" this is my fragrance when i was in almaty kazakhstan. I wish they'd bring it back and i would buy it in a flash!!! Gucci told me they discontinued it because of one of the wood product was getting harder and harder to get (sandal?). Maybe some day we can meet.

Well it is an aroma highlighted by a bouquet of fragrant woody, aromatic and green scented tones that will bring a calming, natural and exotic perfumed sensation. The good reviews on this thread are valid.

I havent smelled or seen Gucci rish in at least 5 or 6 years until I was strolling through the womens section of Sephora (usually I stay on the guys side for obvious reasons lol). For me Gucci Rush has that meaning. Gucci Rush is a kind of fragrance that differs from the others on the market (at least until it was released). Up to this day I haven't found any niche, let alone mainstream product that resembles this. the sexiest scent ever made??

The time of year users find it most suitable for wearing is for the winter season. Peace. I used it a few times to see if it would grow on me, but gave up on it. On me, I get the sandalwood, but also lots of spice notes and a sweetness that makes it absolutely gender-neutral.

Aaaah, can't think of any mainstream masculine that can do that these days. @Flying Dutchman I could give you a small decant but I live in Mexico. ;(. It makes a pungent first impression, but as it settles it makes a decent cypress (more than cedar) smell. What a chic woody modern cedar/sandalwood cologne. So deep and comforting and yet edgy and distinctive at the same time. Another GUCCI failing they discontinued so many greats. It is uplifting and intoxicating, a beautiful blend of the fragrant woods cedar, cypress, juniper and sandalwood. It opens somewhat fresh with the cypress and than turns into a warmer, darker, and more sensual scent..

I turned him on to Aramis (sex in a bottleread my review on that oneit's pretty entertaining).

Ok now one more for the crazy departmentyou know what else gives me this vibe(Rush, Tuscan Leather)?..China White by Nasomatto. I think I may order a sample and try it out or layer it with something more manly Lets see if i could pull it off I dont think it is overtly girly. This was my first real introduction to fragrances. I HAD WORN A LOT OF PARFUMES OVER THE YEARS AND THEN WHEN I FINALLY FOUND MY SENT- GUCCI RUSH, SOMEONE DICIDED THAT IT WILL BE DISCONETED, BECAUSE IT SELS TOO GOOD AND OTHER UPCOMING GUCCI PARFUMES WONT SELL AS GOOD AS THEY SCHOULD IF THE RUSH WILL STILL BE ON THE MARKET. Trend and Rush go on like a mesquite repellent - very sharp - then dry to a smoky woody scent.

All my girlfirend in highschool had Gucci Rush around 10th grade 2003- 2004. The sandalwood seems to be absent in my experience.

I got this as a gift from my grand dad back in high school and i fell in love with it since then.

It's almost perfect9.5/10.

This is one gorgeousness that even the tons of niche houses and their creations can compare with. This is one of the few discontinued fragrances that I was looking very hard to find, reading so many reviews about how good it is (was). True, this one is hard to find, but not impossible. I looked those up on eBay and it turns out they are worth about $2,500! Hey, we have a 10 year old son that's going to need college tuition in the future.

This starts out very dry & woody (LOADS of ISO E Super) and finishes with a slightly "dated" soapy but pleasant smell. Fragrance Gucci Rush cologne for Men by Gucci was released in 2000. What does Gucci Rush smell like? During my exploration i started to know better and better scents. I will keep on commenting until this page gets put back to normal.. First step getting Isobutyl Wandaw and his other fake profiles deleted - Accomplished - .. Next step is to get these false similar fragrances above .. Sandalo , Marriage Equality, deleted.. today I tried Santal Blush by tom ford and I found that are similar but unfortunately Santal Blush is very expensive and Gucci rush is hard to find, I think Gucci rush for man has more persistent on my skin and honestly i prefer it, in my opinion it's a masterpiece. oh my god that masterpiece !!!!!!!!

I stumbled upon something that made my day! If there was one thing I found disappointing about RUSH is that they tried to be too clever with the bottling. BUT I do not believe it it is work these crazy prices now it is discontinued. Honesty I've had Rush, sartorial, and trend at the same time, Trend by Les Copains is hands down the closest, so much so that (because rush and trend are pretty fleeting in strength) I would douse myself with the two and it was almost seamlessafter giving in to the hype and seeking out all the Guccis from my youth I excorsised some fragrance demons and I'm glad I did because none accept GPH lived up to my memories of them. I think his reputation is deserved, it is an indisputable masterpiece of art of perfumery and design.

It's devastating to not have it anymore. I wanted something more in the middle. This was the first fragrance I bought that wasn't a mall brand catering to young white boys with more money than sense.

@Alive, I am so jealous! Truth is, life will never be the same without it. Very classy and sophisticated so I would say that ages 25+ should be the only costumers for this, if it were still around. The best sandalwood based fragrance. The bottle's all made of plastic!

VanMarlton .. This smell to me fantastic (i hadnt known about fragrances then and the notes of them). Though a huge fan of Envy (actually, bought this because of that), Rush lives up to it's name: they were clearly not thinking but blinded by the success of Envy.
