A tale of two sisters...

I used to be part of the crowd who thought Rush 2 bore no resemblance whatsoever to the original Gucci Rush. But now that I have worn both within a few days of each other, I have changed my mind. They ARE sisters! First of all, they have the same father, Michel Almairac. They were born a mere two years apart from each other and therefore part of the same "perfume trend generation". Like sisters who are close to one another, they are able to play together and layer well with each other. While original Gucci Rush is the louder, bossier, dominant older sister, Rush 2 tries to emulate her in certain ways.

In Rush 2, the fruity aspect of Rush's peach is replaced by a sweet juicy black currant note. The original had a strong gardenia note, while Rush 2 has gardenia but it rests shyly in the background, preferring to let cleaner flowers like freesia and lily of the valley do the talking. The original is the bad ass of the clan, sneaking out late to party while Rush 2 stays home and studies but lets the original sneak back in through her window because after all, they are close and she likes to live vicariously through the stories Rush brings home. Rush 2 is the daughter grandma likes better but original Rush is the one who will go on to be famous.

Holly Valance in the Sugar

Yes, at the beginning of the 2000s there was the "Sugar" as well as the "Girl" and the "Girl". And just in this - probably best and unfortunately sometime stopped Girly magazine -, there was a beauty interview with Holly Valance in one issue. That was the one with the only less good one-hit-wonder "Kiss Kiss", but at that time an icon of all us 13-year-olds, at least almost midwives. And after all, it was said among the boys at that time that the "quite cool". Well then one had to read already once, what the woman uses so to "make beautiful". Her absolute beauty favourites, it said, were read umpteen times and never forgotten: 1.) The anti-blemish solution soap of clinique, 2.) John Frieda Anti Frizz Serum and 3.) Gucci Rush 2. And so we dabbled in the next "Dougi" and of course only got what we could afford, namely the hair conditioner and hey, John Frieda, that was for us then "high end". The Gucci Rush 2, which was only sniffed at first, but of course that had to be done somehow. After some good English work it was time, Mom was in a good mood and I was allowed to choose a perfume. After the first attempt with Hypnotic poison might have been a bit too daring, it had to be Rush. Used for the first time, yes, I think I had a pink "Miss Sixty" top on and maybe boots that were pointed to the front (as I said in the early 2000s) and that was of course the killer in combination with Rush on the playground. Hach, altogether this fragrance has such a great mixture, because it is not teeny-pappig-sweet like Britneys fantasy, but only light and entertaining and what remains is more a fresh sweetness, yes, if the fragrance were a spritzer, it would be a raspberry spritzer. If it were a cocktail, maybe a Virgin Colada served with umbrella. And just like you order one beyond the age of 25, if at all, as "I always drank when I was 16, I want to try again", it's about Rush... at some point, unfortunately, it's over. But beautiful, yes, it was beautiful with him.

~(GUCCI RUSH)

GUCCI RUSH 2 is nearly the strict antithesis of GUCCI RUSH. RUSH 2 is cool, slightly soapy, lightly floral, not at all sweet, and rather shortlived in the edt.

The somewhat dark, lingering oriental thickness of RUSH (imparted by mingling patchouli and vanilla) is not present in RUSH 2 at all. Rather, RUSH 2 is a tiny bunch of little white flowers on a cool morning with dew still clinging to kelly green blades of grass.

It's almost as though the Gucci people self-consciously sought to produce a fragrance which would appeal to all those who disliked RUSH. A better name for RUSH 2 might be:

~(GUCCI RUSH)!

A soapier and much more pleasant flanker of Rush

Rush 2 is hardly related to Rush at all. This is an entirely different composition altogether.

Upon first application, I could barely smell it. The opening notes are extremely subtle and intimate. I would describe the rose, freesia and lily of the valley as having a soapy and fresh-like quality.

With the emergence of the heart, Rush 2 develops character. The scent strengthens considerably and shows elements of originality. The soapiness is still present, however I detect a subtle greeness, like a tropical, damp garden smell.

Rush 2 concludes with a simplistic black currant and musk blend, with this being the only fruity kick you will experience during the development of Rush 2, right at the very end.

I vividly remember a man that owned a perfume store where I used to live, raving on about Rush 2. He had me try it several times but I had to go back to this fragrance 3 years on because the scent hadn't stuck in my memory. Because of that I don't think this fragrance is very memorable, certainly not signature material in my humble opinion.
