Citrush

I am utterly, completely in love. I blind bought it as a novelty, basically as pride merchandise. I never tried the older versions of this fragrance so I don't have them as frames of reference but here is what I can tell you. The sillage is intimate to moderate. You aren't filling a room as long as you aren't overspraying yourself, but I can smell it on me and I keep getting really pleasantly surprised. The longevity is decent. I was still detecting it about 5 hours in without putting my nose to my arm. The opening is a massive lemon BOMB. Comparisons to cleaning chemicals on the opening are both fair an accurate to what Citrush is trying to replicate, if you know anything about the history of poppers. That citrus overload does settle into something much less overpowering, though. The pomelo really comes through. It's citrus still, but less overpoweringly so. The mint comes in and makes it super cool and refreshing. I don't get a ton of musk until a few hours of wear, but the pepper comes in basically the moment it dries and adds this nice spice to it. It's a blue fragrance, though and through. I'd put it right next to Bleu de Chanel and Light Blue. And of the blue fragrances I've sampled, it's my second favorite, only beat out by Bleu de Chanel. Boy Smells' price point is super affordable for what you get, imo. You'll be able to get some Blues for cheaper than this on grey market sites like jomashop but I think this competes with Bleu de Chanel in terms of quality for a much more affordable price. I have never had a fragrance so quickly become one of my favorites. I really hope this becomes a permanent member of the line or, if not, at least comes back next year for pride. So good.

This is my new favorite fragrance. I saw a tiktok where someone said that they used up their bottle from 2024 and were so sad that they could never get a new one. Needless to say, when I saw the re-release I had to try it. It's incredible. Every note is perfect. I don't use those words lightly. It isn't for every season. Summer is the perfect time to wear this, I doubt it will be used later on in the year. If you're on the fence, you won't regret it. I'm surprised how little coverage this is getting in the community, it outmatches most of my collection.

This is so sexy... super juicy and fresh on the top with beautiful complexity from the mint and pepper. Gives me mojito vibes. The skin scents on the bottom are sooo sensual and make the whole thing feel a bit more soft and intimate. Love the Rush concept and branding and I was expecting it to be loud and raunchy because of that. Not a bad thing tho! More like a few summery cocktails and a smooch on the dancefloor, rather than huffing chemicals at a circuit party :P

Sexy, salty, musky. Smells like a good workout or like coming home after dancing all night, sweat still baked into your clothes and vodka sour still on your breath. Really adore this one, a perfect clean dirty, but it is polarizing. Probably will become my favored errand-running or pre-workout morning routine scent for the summer.

I am not a citrus person, I got this in the exploratory pack and I’m SO glad I did. This is amazing. It’s very citrusy and clean but in such a unique way that I do actually really enjoy this scent. I still probably won’t buy a full bottle for myself, but if you like citrus do not hesitate to buy.
