Rush 2 (2001)
by Gucci

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.

i LOVE IT it is quite like White Linen with a sharp kick...if you love a summery scent that has staying power, I totally recommend it.

This, along with Marc Jacobs, is my quick-spritz-dash-out-of-the-door perfume - it is fresh, clean, inoffensive, neutral, from start to finish. It is a slightly ozone-y green floral, with hardly any middle or basenotes to speak of. After about 15 minutes, it is barely discernible, and quite forgettable. It is however a very pleasant and neutral, almost unisex perfume, and as it is so uncomplicated and easy to use, it goes fast.

the sexed up version of baby doll in my opinion.
tangy, sharp acetone-ish juice (could that be the benzoin i smell?)
anyway, i love this in the summer. i agree with another reviewer, i don't find this watery at all

Not a bad fragrance. GRII is a bit different from Gucci Rush I… It’s weaker and doesn’t last as long as the first Rush. It’s a light scent, quite fresh, and I don’t think the freshness is achieved by citrus, which makes it a bit different from the run of the mill competition. I believe that the freshness is achieved with florals and a touch of green. It’s quite a floral scent, but the florals are more a mild, neutral texture than a bouquet type flowery presentation. I’m unsure of the drydown… I think I get oakmoss, which would be appropriate because Rush II is listed as a chypre and there’s also some musk in there, too. The whole drydown is quite weak to my nose – almost nonexistent. There’s not the greatest longevity to the fragrance. I think Rush I is a much better fragrance: Rush II is disappointing… it doesn’t even seem to be a Gucci.

This is one of my favourite scents and one that I have been wearing for many years (used to be something of a signature scent for me). There is something special with it that makes it stand out, which is also in the usual Rush, but this is more beautiful and nice-smelling, partly maybe because of the rose. I do not think it is watery at all. Being very beautiful but at the same time different, it has got everything I need, and I have gotten several compliments for it.
