Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Gucci Rush Summer EDP
This is Gucci Rush's lighter, brighter, more daytime-friendly cousin. A delightful summer flanker that captures the original's sexy essence with a fresh, citrusy twist. If you loved the OG, you'll adore this for warmer days.

Our Verdict - Across The Universe EDP
Across The Universe follows Maison Francis Kurkdjian's Aqua Universalis Forte's lemon-neroli-musk formula closely at the top, but the white floral heart feels thinner and the clean musk base fades noticeably sooner than the original's soap-clean, long-wearing signature.
