Gwen Stefani releases Harajuku Lovers scents

Photo: WWD

I’ve never been down with the Gwen’s Harajuku Girls.  First off, I’m pretty sure they have real names, not “Love” “Angel” “Music”, and “Baby”.  Second, the girls really aren’t very much like “real” Harajuku girls have much more interesting sense of style than Gwen Stefani’s watered down punk meets street meets reggae meets anime- mess called L.A.M.B.  Harajuku Lovers is the brand created for Stefani’s fans who aren’t hardcore fashionistas and can’t afford the near-couture pricetags.  The perfume pricetags are in line with this idea – at $45 for the largest and $25 for the small flacon, and a $60 set of solid perfumes is coming out later.  I find it hard to take seriously, and I’ll sniff the scents but it’ll take a lot for me to have something this twee on my dresser!

  • Love is a floral with top notes of sparkling bergamot, pink pomelo, peach and bamboo leaf mist; a heart of watery peony, living hydroponic lace rose, jasmine sambac, nectarine blossom, creamy paperwhites and Egyptian jasmine, and a drydown of petally ylang, creamy vanilla orchid, sensual musk and blond wood.
  • Lil’ Angel is a fruity floral with notes of raspberry, cranberry, blackberry and pineapple; a heart of pear blossom, candied violet and sugared rose, and a drydown of lollipop accord, hinoki wood and crystal amber.
  • Music has top notes of clementine and sparkling pear; a heart of jasmine sambac, sweet pea and honeysuckle, and a drydown of vanilla, skin musk and sleek woods.
  • Baby, has top notes of freesia, bergamot and white rose; a heart of orange flower, tiare flower and jasmine petals, and a drydown of white musk, soft woods, heliotrope, vanilla and violet.
  • G has top notes of crisp mandarin, fresh coconut and apple skin; a heart of jasmine sambac, soft freesia and magnolia vapor, and a drydown of coconut cream, white sandalwood and cottonwoods.
