SyntheticWhat does Aqua Rush smell like?
The top pairs yuzu with coriander, so the citrus freshness has a faint spice behind it. In the heart, clary sage, violet leaf and mint come forward, with floral and green tones softening the mix. The fruity and sweet sides stay in the background, and a synthetic feel runs through the blend. The base of teakwood, musk and amberwood settles it onto a calm, woody footing. Aqua Rush has been discontinued; its profile is close to Playboy Malibu and Bujairami Blazing.
