Rush of Unicorns delivers a fresh, salty, and fruity aquatic experience with prominent melon, sea salt, and bergamot notes in the opening. It evolves into a soft, powdery ambergris and sandalwood base, creating a pleasant, airy, and slightly sweet impression that feels highly wearable during warm months. Performance is moderate to long, with strong projection initially, lasting up to 7 hours on skin. The fragrance is widely viewed as one of the best alternatives to Creed’s Millésime Impérial, especially for those who prefer older, saltier, and more robust versions of the original. Many users note a close resemblance in character, with the salt and melon note dominant and the floral-lavender touch adding nuance. The unisex appeal is strong, and it’s best suited for daytime, casual wear, especially in summer. While the fragrance is praised for its quality, linear development, and value compared to the original, some users find it initially harsh, musty, or overly salty – a reaction noted more frequently in early batch variations or individual sensitivities. More recent bottles or the Intense version are often described as smoother and more balanced.
