I got a bottle of Gucci rush for a present today. It's the smell of my youth and I love it and shall wear it !

50 plus

Mid forties. It was really fashionable in the 90’s.
That said I think perfumes are timeless and if it suits you I wouldn’t change it.

I loved it in my early twenties, over 25 years ago! I say you are 47-52.

I remember every magazine would have a peel off sampler, so all you magazines smelt of it!!

God dammit, I was just thinking I missed obsession.

So if I liked that, what could I try now that would seem less fogeyish?

WhyMeLord · 25/12/2021 23:00

46?

RhiWrites · 25/12/2021 23:00

You’re 46. Maybe it’s time to let it go. Not because you’re too old for it but because it’s really overwhelming.

cauliflowersqueeze · 25/12/2021 23:00

About 48.

AnotherMansCause · 25/12/2021 23:01

40-55.

oviraptor21 · 25/12/2021 23:01

It's wonderful. I still wear it occasionally and I'm older than anything mentioned so far.
It's an evening perfume for sure!

SheldonesqueTheBstard · 25/12/2021 23:01

50s.

tttigress · 25/12/2021 23:02

It's funny how certain fragrances take you back to certain periods of your life. Obsession really takes me back to my second year of university, the best times!!

Siameasy · 25/12/2021 23:03

Born in the 70s like me
I found it a bit heavy - Eternity though, God that takes me back to 1997

ivykaty44 · 25/12/2021 23:04

it was popular earlier 2000's so id guess 40s

what smells do you like OP?

musk or vanilla etc?

5keletor · 25/12/2021 23:04

At least mid-40s.

festivesprinkles · 25/12/2021 23:05

It was around in the late 80s or very early 90s I think when I was 12/13. It's the one perfume that makes my asthmatic lungs clamp shut instantly. I am very glad that it's very rare that I smell it anywhere now. Definitely time for something new.

40 to 45. I'm 42 and it was the smell of my teenage years. I swear there is nothing that will transport me faster to plucked eyebrows, teenage angst and endemic discomfort in my own skin. It's basically magicGrin

Specifically for some reason to the entry of a pub jn the town centre that was more of a wine bar and to me was the epitome of sophistication and if only I could convince the bouncers I was 18. No idea why its that specific an image but it isGrin
