Any guesses as to what "crunch green" might be? Update: see a review of Valentino Rock 'n Rose.

Crunch Green = Celery?, Fennel?
I must admit that Rock & Rose paired with that description sounds pretty hip to me!
(now)
Let me play the Oracle for a moment…. I guess that 15 years from now this fragrance will be remembered as “Typical Mid-noughties”… It sounds and looks like it can get dated fast.
Or snap peas? It is an odd note to list with no explanation.
My guess: in 15 years, it will be long forgotten!
The name reminds me of one of those yearly Escada Limited Edition fragrances!
So true!
Lulu Castagnette I had was EDP 30 ml and now I have 100 ml. It seems it’s hard to find one. Almost 2 years ago (or so) it was in few stores and now I can’t find it anywhere. Lucky me I caught big bottle in february for the price I bought the 30 ml bottle year before.
For me it’s berry, datura and frangipani scent, very comfortable and longlasting.
They’re VERY hard to find in the US — have never seen them!
