Very distinctive, original, and bold.
It smells different person to person, and just isn't going to work for day use. Period.
On a quest for a truly sexy, seductive fragrance that didn't turn into "granny musk" like Poison or go powdery (baby butt isn't my style) like so many scents- I found Gucci rush (among Dior Hypnotic Poison, Bond No.9 Nuits De Noho)- Gucci achieves what few fragrances in this category have- it smells undeniably sexy, but not sexy in sophisticated black dress way, where you cold wear it during the day- sexy in a short sparkly red dress at a nightclub way, and in your face- NOT sophisticated, more bold and on the prowl. This is why it's clearly a special occasion fragrance. It's mysterious and complex, but never ever musty (it may on a few skin types- like the poor girl above who said it smelled like musty old things)
The notes don't begin to describe Gucci rush- if it were a color, it would be bright red, if it were a person, it would be Angelina Jolie in 1998 (wild), if it were a profession- it might not be a legal one ;) It's a bold, distinctive enveloping scent, that people always have a strong view point on. For about a year, I made a mixture of this scent with a bright fruity scent, and it was perfect for day use and became inticing but refreshing without smelling like something aimed at 19 year olds by Paris Hilton.
My advice with this one is 1 spray is enough, and it can easily be mixed and toned down with a citrus or red fruit scent. If you want a scent like this that is just as sexy, but less sweet and invasive, I strongly recommend Nuits De Noho by Bond No. 9- it uses lavender instead of the rose, and has a sweet honey note that is much more palatable to all noses than the array of florals in Rush.
