Rush of Unicorns

I just delved into the world of Parfums Vintage and I guess im slightly underwhelmed with one exception - this fragrance. Imo, I disagree that these can truly be likened to other niche offerings. Not that I cant see the similarities but they dont quite come close. Sunset in Heaven isnt enough of a match to BR540, Vintage and Xbatch arent close enough to Aventus, etc. There is something little missing in each that doesnt quite complete what masterpieces the originals are and for their own good, I guess I am glad that the niche are still special in that way - kind of justifies the hefty $ premium people pay. Looking at a Parfums Vintage Bottle is underwhelming as well. The box is decent but the glass bottle is simple with, from my experience, a sticker stuck on that was not completely flush and with a chintzy cap. But after being less than blown away with Sunset in Heaven, I decided to take the plunge on a few samples which ended up being a smart decision. Despite my criticisms thus far on a full bottle I purchased, I have to say that I was pleasantly surprised by my sample of 'Rush Of Unicorns'. While it isnt a replacement to Millesime Imperial, I find it so enjoyable that I might actually get a bottle of this. A few days with the sample I ordered will help me determine if I end up preferring this to MI. It is a fusion of MI with Guess Suede. While that might not sound so pleasant, the smell is captivating, smooth yet versatile . Update 1: I continue looking forward to and enjoy smelling the scent of this juice that I went ahead and purchased a small bottle. I anticipate it makes my top 10 and possibly my top 5 for the spring/summer rotation.

I'm not sure what kind of experiences people have been having but I have several PV bottles and every one of them is excellent quality and arrived as stated. This is the only PV frag I own that I dont also own the original to compare it against. All of the others are at least as good or better than various vintage productions of the original. (Imbue smells like a niche interpretation of Gucci Pour Homme 2 with matching improved performance) Rush of Unicorns is super fresh and sexy. Very very salty. It took me a while to get used to, having mostly been exposed to melon notes in lower end fragrances. I smelled it in cold weather for the first time and thought it smelled like 90s shampoo!! Well I love it now in the heat! The melon note is distinctly higher quality than most melon notes I have encountered (melon note in Apres La Mousson is also excellent) and the thick, heavy salt is sultry. This fragrance is not very citric to my nose, being rather all about the melon and salt. Simultaneously rich and fresh.

This is fun, casual, and clean at its best! I was looking for a good summertime scent that was long-lasting and didn't smell like one of those horrible linear cheap body sprays. After doing some research, I ordered a sample of Rush of Unicorns and found exactly what I was looking for. Superbly blended, this is a warm-weather fragrance with a main accord best described as aromatic-salty-melon. It's refreshing and a bit citrusy, but also softened by amber and warmed with sandalwood. It's simply juicy and delicious. I've never smelled Millésime Impérial by Creed, but if this is as good a clone as people are saying, it's totally worth the price, which pales in comparison to MI. Thank you for another accessible masterpiece, Parfums Vintage!

This scent is as good of a clone to MI as I would need to switch over - this may be the only scent the house is worth imo. This one is heavy on the Melon and Salt which is my favorite part of MI. I wasnt much a fan of the other samples I tried despite the hype. Perhaps the Elysium 'clone' might be worth a try but Ill look for it on ebay. Easily the WORST customer service. I ended up getting what I wanted but I would avoid PV in the future. Someone needs to buy a large shipment and redistribute - I would pay extra not to have to deal with the woman that I had to deal with. Attitude and excuses galore. Their customer service is a huge shame for the 'house'.

Have only tried the new Millesime Imperial, Rush of Unicorns crushes it. Rush of Unicorns opens very salty, and over the next 20 mins the fruit creeps in. Dominant fruits to me are melon and bergamot, with a drop of lemon. Remains quite salty, develops a little more over time but is fairly linear after the first hour. Far more fruit than new Millesime Imperial. Performance is near nuclear for me, detectable from an arms length on skin for around 7 hours and remains a skin scent until you wash. I don't understand the comparison below to Invictus, I don't get that at all. Nicely done Parfums Vintage plan on getting a full bottle of this soon.
