Strawberry Rush is the red one in Voluspa's limited-edition collaboration with Fender, poured into glass wrapped with six embossed guitar strings and a glossy pick, and colored after the Stratocaster's famous Torino Red. The notes are red-hot strawberry, mandarin and lychee liqueur over warm musk, with a chilled pear sorbet in Voluspa's own description, so expect a bright, slightly boozy berry rather than strawberries and cream.
It's new, and most of the noise around it comes from Voluspa and gifted posts. The only independent verdict, a Nordstrom review, finds it beautiful but not as fragrant as Voluspa can be. It comes boxed at $52 (rated for about 55 hours) or as a $24 mini, and the mini is the sensible first step. If you already love Cherry Gloss, this is the brighter, fizzier red.
