Why Take A Shower When You Can Just Spritz This?
Originally written on May 15, 2012:
Aqua Rush is a glorified bar of Irish Spring, particularly the Icy Blast-scented one. It’s nice, safe, and work-appropriate—all code for BORING. There is no real breakdown of notes in the traditional form of opening, heart notes, and base notes; this is nothing more than a linear stream of Icy Blast-scented Irish Spring from beginning to end. The projection is mildly medium, the sillage is a whispering trail, and the longevity is about four to six hours; all the makings for a perfect cubicle-mate scent.
Despite its droll nature I like this scent. It’s definitely gender-neutral in its inoffensive nature; a state of cleanliness is neither male nor female. Cilantro fans will be pleased with its cool leafiness, a welcome alternative to the aquatic standard: cucumber. This is well-suited for summer weather but like most aquatics for summer, it’s still dull. I’ve found Nautica scents to be equitable to body sprays; this is no exception. I’d gladly add this to my collection but not for more than $20. My suggestion would be to wait a few more months till it is in the bargain bin at TJ (TK) Maxx or Marshall’s.

No, but really, just take a shower. If you want to keep that shower fresh feeling, spray this? I didn't hate this but it didn't grab me the way Mugler Cologne did, which was far more than just a bar of expensive soap. For me Mugler Cologne was the bar to surpass, no pun intended; not only did Aqua Rush not surpass Mugler Cologne, but it didn't even keep up with it.
For what occasion is this perfect? Maybe for the gym or a jog around the neighborhood—when you know you'll be sweating out your cologne but you don't want other gym members/neighbors to think you smell like an oversized arm pit? Or, after a night of partying and drinking to excess, to rid yourself of the scent of the night before? Maybe a first-time scent for young adolescent boys and girls? Maybe a guilty pleasure? I can speak on that—I went through a soap-scented obsession, which is how I came across Aqua Rush in the first place. Honestly, I'm not sure.
I'm starting to think my age is making me cynical. Ignore me. Wear what makes you happy. Just don't spend more than $20USD for this.
