    The ad copy for Benetton Energy is a classic example of why writing for Le Prix Eaux Faux was so challenging; hard to beat the real thing: *crackling & explosive harmonies*, indeed!

    So true — I think it is easier when you're not trying!

    About the yet another Rock 'n Rose: aren't cassis and blackcurrant the same thing? Why do they have both in the description? Speak about the Prix Eau Faux:))

    They are the same thing, but it is possible that this is a Sephora error & not the brand's (?)

    “Crispy greens” ??? They probably don't mean burned collard greens. LOL.

    Those Benetton bottles are horrid, IMO.

    Oh, I mean just one “crispy green” :)

    Not high hopes for this. I don't like Rock 'n Rose much.

    ..and I have tried the first Rock'n Rose but did not particularly like it, I mean it just did not stand out from other rose scents.. and coming from the house of Valentino it could have been a bit more exciting..

    The Benetton bottles really don't look like fragrances.

    I thought the Benetton's were lotions.

    I like the RNR Couture but it doesn't have any lasting power. And the name is hideous. Sounds like a desperate groupie.
