I've had this now for about a month, and I have to say, it's creeping up on Aqua di Gio as my favourite! I've outlined all the positives, but kicked off with the minimal negatives!
I've seen some reviews telling people to stay away from this because it has left a rash on them. What I would say is that different aftershaves can leave rashes on different people. I don't have sensitive skin, but I've found that anything from Dunhill has made my skin dry up and rash. It's certainly not a reason to stop people from using this. All I would say is go ask for a sample, try it, and if there's no reaction, you'll be sold!!!
The other negative is the packaging. I have read the other reviews, and I see that packaging is a bit of a complaint. I have to say, I agree! Not so much that it looks cheap, but it's very impractical. It has a plastic pump action, which isn't the easiest to use, and worst of all, it plastic sleeve for it to slide in and out of. When wet, you WILL drop it! And any water it gets in the sleeve, will remain there so that when you next use it, it will still be wet and slippery!
The other slight negative was that I paid £34 (jenners, Edinburgh) for 50ml, however this was only a negative until I smelled it!!!!! And then again when I saw it online for £26.10! (www.escentual.co.uk)
Positives!
Now, at the bottom of this review it says "why did you buy this?" and I can't help but notice that it doesn't give "because my gay mate recommended it to me" as a reason! FACT! Gay guys always smell better than us straight guys! I was in the pub with him one day and I caught a waft of him as he walked past me and I just had to ask him what it was! Needless to say, I was away buying a bottle of this in no time!
A musky, woody, slightly floral (but tasteful!) smell, the staying power is excellent without being over powering. It's an excellent fragrance! That's all that needs to be said about this to make you go try it, then make up your own mind.
Now the negatives mentioned above are purely material, and lets not get away from the fact that what I bought was a smell! I didn't buy it because of the packaging, or because of the pump action, I bought it cos' it smelled nice!
I have three sisters who all love it, and the girls here at work seem to love it too! That's good enough for me!
Promise to keep you up to date with any new smells my gay friend informs me of! Hope this has been helpful, please feel free to let me know if I've missed anything!

(+) Long lasting, individual, mouth wateringly fruity! (-) Pretty expensive but worth it! Lid of bottle is way too heavy and almost same size as bottle
Ive never been a fan of Gucci scents. They always give me headache!

The packaging sounds like it needs a major rethink but it sounds really nice. if they change the bottle I'd buy it for the other half! Nice review. ~ Jo :O)
Designed in 1999 by Gucci, Gucci Rush cologne is a sharp, woody, mossy fragrance. This more
masculine cologne contains a blend of woods and incense, with base notes of patchouli and musk. Gucci Rush sends an addictive blend of woody, musky notes to invigorate the body and mind. Gucci Rush cologne is recommended as an evening type of fragrance.
