Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Rush EDT
Gucci Rush is a magnetic and unforgettable fragrance, bursting with creamy white florals and juicy peach atop a deep, spicy patchouli-vanilla base. It's an addictive, high-impact statement for the bold and the daring.
Statement
Our Verdict - Rush - 449 EDP
No. 449 chases Gucci Rush's peach-gardenia-patchouli chypre fruity shock. It gets the loud, sweet peach opening right but softens the earthy patchouli-vetiver base that gives the original its unmistakable, slightly medicinal edge.
