The review

On paper, Rush is a reasonable bet if you want Rush for less.

The Essence Vault sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Rush's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.

At $32 per 100ml it costs 67% less than Rush — the cheapest of 8 twins we can price.

Some wearers dispute how close it gets — the match is the seller's claim, so read the votes before you buy.

Value7.4
Evidence6.0

Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength The Essence Vault publishes, the price per 100ml, and how firmly the match is claimed. How it really smells on skin is what the votes below are for.

What it's built to smell like

The original opens on freesia, peach and coriander, turns to gardenia, jasmine and rose, and settles into vanilla, patchouli and vetiver. That is the brief Rush is working from.

Top

  • freesia
  • peach
  • coriander

Heart

  • gardenia
  • jasmine
  • rose

Base

  • vanilla
  • patchouli
  • vetiver
Gardenia and vanilla in a warm coumarin fog; a 90s cult object that still smells like nothing else.

Some fans dispute how close this one gets — it is listed against the original by its seller.

How it ranks against the other twins
