What do reviewers say about Empire and Gucci Rush?
A fruity-floral that doesn't apologize for being fruity-floral. The peach stays ripe and unapologetic throughout, never getting sanitized into 'fresh' or 'clean'.Empire
Rush doesn't whisper. It arrives. The waxy, almost plastic quality in the gardenia is either the thing that hooks you or the thing that sends you reaching for something safer.Gucci Rush
