For example, I imagine Angelina Jolie is wearing Rush in this icon.
Hello! Listen to me talk about perfume!
I got Gucci Rush for my birthday, because I kept smelling it on people walking past and grabbing them and demanding to know what they were wearing. It is an ADDICTIVE scent, bright and loud and sparkly and (TO ME, though as yet I haven't found anyone who agrees) exactly like fruit tingles (and fruit tingle cocktails). I love it a lot, but I almost burned myself (and everyone else) out on it by wearing it to work every day for a week. The past few days I needed a break because it's a pretty intense scent, ok. (As an aside, the perfect break would have been CK1 Summer in the orange bottle, but because that was a limited edition and I only have a couple sprays left, I'm saving it for my death bed).
Here is a review of Rush that I found and loved (no mention of fruit tingles, sadly)
Has anyone ever made a more perfect fragrance for a night out? Tom Ford reportedly took about two seconds to say yes to the formula after smelling it, and if anyone seems to take longer, hand him a decongestant. When this milky, woody, peachy-jasmine in its opaque red plastic rectangle arrived in shops, it had a bit of the shock of Dylan going electric: though Rush had the bone structure of the kind, cuddly lactonic florals that had kept nice girls smelling good for decades, it came in a joyful fuzz of hairspray and noise, with a delicious, dissonant Habanita-like base of patchouli-vetiver-vanilla putting a growl in its voice. This is not a fragrance for office, theater, or fine dining; it announces its sloppy good mood for miles about, and woe to anyone in the vicinity who planned on using his sense of smell for anything else. This is large-scale outdoor art. And what’s more, though it smells so new, so confident, so reckless, so of-the-moment, Rush manages at every stage to feel cozy and alive, never a cold stranger-this creature may be from outer space, but its blood is warm.
Isn't that AMAZING? When they mentioned hairspray I thought YES! EXACTLY! Haispray and static and sparkling shiraz and high heels and lollies and neon and too much eyeliner. SOMEONE on my flist (YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE) has been raving about perfume of late and now I am being sucked in against my will to an obsession that is going to cost me a lot of money. SIGH.
As you all know, I love VIOLETS, and I can't find any violet perfume, so I've gone and ordered three seperate violet samples from this amazing website, luckyscent.com. (That website will send me broke within a month if I don't block it immediately, btw. Screw my newly aquired mortgage! I just wanna SMELL GOOD)
SIGH. I remember buying my ex girlfriend a posey of violets on the way home to her one day, and waking her by tickling them over her face. I thought I was being super-romantic, but if I recall correctly, she was just super-annoyed at being woken from her nap, and didn't even really like the smell. I guess violets aren't for everyone, but I could roll around in a patch every day and be happy.
So what's up with YOU, people? What scents do you all wear? Indulge my obsession quickly, before I move on!
Now I go to watch Glee.
