When I go to get a new aftershave you are always surrounded by too many diffrent smells. the air is a blanket of perfume and aftershave. This does not always help with the buying process but its something we all have to get on with in this day and age.
I have tried a lot of aftershaves over the years and have always found that I always buy the most popular at the time. I guess this is a pathetic attempt to be up with the latest trends. I like to think I am anyway.
So here I was inside a well know supplier of aftershaves and toiletries in general. Standing at the fragrance counter, you were amazed at the vast array of brands availible. Not having a clue which one to go for I decided to ask a lady who worked there, a seasoned professional I thought. Someone who deals with perfumes and aftershaves on a regular basis.
In hindsight, I don't think this was the best Idea that I had ever had, but sa la vie as thay say. I was brought 2 popular brands, Kourus and Gucci rush. In hindsight again I would like to think that the lady was on comission to sell thease brands.....and I fell for it like a fish to water.
Firstly kouros was an old brand tried and tested, popular, but I knew this already, the Gucci rush I hadn't heard of. This was rare I thought!, not many would have this one!
Having written off the Kouros, which was like the preverbial Xr3i of the aftershave world! (everyone had it), I opted for the Gucci rush. Thinking that I was the most hip man in the county! hurrah!
The Packaging --------------------
The 75ml comes in a white box with the Gucci logo on it, it is reinforced and well boxed.
The bottle -------------
On first view it looked like the aftershave was inside a plastic box, rendering thoughts of pass the parcel!, was this a little game by Gucci?, but on further investigation I saw that it was actually the bottle.
It has a white plastic front and back,and a clear plastic middle. You can see the small 75ml bottle inside. The top of the "case" has a square push down nossle to allow you to spary the aftershave on your person.
The fragrance -------------------
The fragrance, how do you describe a fragrance??, I would say it's lite and airey, maybe a bit too strong when you first apply it, but altimatly a pleasant smell. It makes you feel clean and freash.
Summery -------------
I would describe the fragrance as pleasant, a welcome change to other brands. I dont think it's the absolute best I have ever brought, but it will happly sit with the array of aftershaves that I already own and make a welcome appearance now and again.
How helpful would this review be to a person making a buying decision? Rating guidelines
(+) Long lasting, individual, mouth wateringly fruity! (-) Pretty expensive but worth it! Lid of bottle is way too heavy and almost same size as bottle
Great review, well written and some great structure, roll on 2006!!!! (-:

Hi - you say it was expensive - HOW much? (75ml bottle you said) - what other sizes were there? and does it come in various "matching" toiletries (aftershave gel or lotion, shampoo, deodorant , etcetera) so your overall "aura" can be consistent? Before buying any perfumed type products, it is as well to try samples and see how they develop over 4-24 hours on the skin - partly as what smells nice on one person can be absolutely foul (or even fowl) on another's body chemistry. - .................................................................................................... - For the benefit of those of us who are vaguely aware of what we like (or dislike) a description of the way the scent develops - what does it "taste" like when you put it on? sometimes there is a "bite" at the back of the throat, or an acridity; what sort of a person might wear it (outdoorsman, suave, sporty, chef) -

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.
