L (for women)

La Moon

I dig the scent for the most part...when I first sprayed it on myself I said " I have to have it!" I find myself at times not being able to wear it though..It smells like "Raid" somedays..others it smells very fresh and radiant. I smell the freesia..for the most part. Maybe its just too many flowers in one

jellybeantree

This smelt so bland and bad on the paper strip that I didn't even bother trying it on my skin! I am a big fan of Gwen but I don't want to wear a perfume that smells like watered down pear mixed with nothing I can put my finger on! I haven't actually smelt this on someone but if I did it's so light you wouldn't even notice! Sorry that's not why I wear perfume.

Adriana_87

One of the worst ever,did not expect this from Gwen..smells like a cheap rose perfume..

HelloLovely27

This perfume goes really sour.
I think it is very difficult to wear because i think it goes bad and ends up smelling like body order on many people. This is really sad because the first time i smelled it, it smelled different and fresh. This perfume really disappointed me. x

I wouldn't say that I have a love/hate relationship with Ms Stefani's 'L' but we seem to have had a falling-out in recent months.

At first I get a big fruity blast, reminiscent of a bowl of over-ripe pears and peaches, it just teeters on the edge of unpleasantness. A few minutes later something floral is starting to creep in. I can't quite put my finger on it. It's not as fresh and crisp as hyacinth, and not as romantic as freesia. It seems more like a huge, potent madonna lily than any of the floral notes listed. But wait...hot on the tail of this is a whacking great dollop of musk. In fact, not so much a dollop as a truck-load.

I first used L whilst in the grip of the coldest winter London has seen in years. I rather liked it then, the aquatic notes were much more prominent and the florals had an almost crystalline lightness that cut through the dominant pear and peach. I landed in New Zealand at the tail end of a very hot summer and what the hell has happened? This doesn't react well to heat AT ALL. That fruityness is so overpowering now, it's almost like rotten fruit. I will give it another try when the temperature drops but for the moment I have NO desire to smell like a mouldering fruit salad that has been left out in a hot kitchen for a couple of days. Shame...it could have been a beautiful relationship but it turned out to be a mere fling.

Also...the other major problem I have is the bottle. I don't find it ugly, I rather like that massive gold cap, it feels reassuringly solid, but this stuff leaks like you wouldn't believe. Not suitable for travelling, you have been warned !!

I think I have to agree with most of the reviews of this perfume: there's something bizarre and sligtly bi-polar about this scent. It's got these overpowering notes that initially make you hate it but then there are pretty floral notes that smell nice and it's really just confusing. It pulls you back and forth. I wouldn't buy it.

Girly T-Rex

This perfume smells terrible! Yet another sample spray I had tested and had to wash off immediately. It's very heady...reminds me of toilet bowl cleaner. Usually I like aquatic fragrances but this one was a no no for me.

APassionateJourney

Exciter76, I agree with you. This does smell like Maybe Baby. My mother has Maybe Baby and L crossed my mind when she sprayed it on

exciter76

It took me a year to resolutely decide to make this fragrance my own. It has a very fleshy scent to it, due to the peach and musk. Crudely, I might even go so far as to say it smells like skin in the heat of "the moment" (**wink wink**).

I don't quite smell the aqueous nature of this fragrance as I do the musk. It does have a youthful quality to it. No one has ever commented on my fragrance, good or bad. I know I wear this only for me and not to impress or attract others. I think it's simply an acquired taste.

Btw, it totally smells like "Maybe Baby" by Benefit. Does anyone agree or disagree?

Jessmoberry

This is a cool, Christmastime kind of floral to me. Some aquatic notes, a little citrus, a little floral.

gucci

very citrusy and floral not really fruity but exquisitely made i give Gwen two thumps up

guest_Amarilla

Cheap smelling, synthetic fragrance. Makes me think of a scented children's toy or a bottle of cheap bubble bath.
I expected something sophisticated and vibrant.

Sherria

I have never smelled anything like this before. It is very strong and it could be offensive if too much is worn. but overall, i really like it. it really stands out from all of the perfumes in my (small but growing) collection. I can really smelled the pear and violet and a little of the rose. but on me i cant distinguish anything else. i will upgrade from my sample size but only to a simple roll on. with a fragrance this strong, i wont even need a full size!

jatzzie

L is probably next on my list of perfumes-to-buy. To me it smells like pear icecream and I love pear icecream.=) This is something that I definitely want for summer, so yummy!

snobuni77

I haven't had this on to long but I have to say that.....I think I like it.I'm not sure if Ill buy a big bottle though.
It is very different at least, so she succeeded getting her originality through to her perfume.
I also think it is a very girly scent
And I Love girly *batting eyelashes".

The floral Lily of the Vally & Pear mingle very nicely & they are both very prominent.I don't get much aquaticness from this though & I am thankful for that.
There is something about it that I'm not to happy about though & honestly I'm not sure how to explain it.It is almost as if the scents mingle too much...It kind of gets blurry...if that makes any sense??I cant say that each note dances around me like most perfumes do.These kind of cling to each other & that is the only thing I find UNappealing about this.Other then that I find it to be it is a very nice girly perfume & I do plan on wearing it every now & then, You know since I am the ultimate girly girl myself it seems almost necessary ;)

Malibu

I’m on the fence with L. It's a light fruit/floral, that is best described as 'pleasant'. L can be worn to work, on the weekends with jeans & for evenings out.

It’s non-offensive to other people, didn’t give me any headaches & i didn't hate it. But I can’t separate any of the listed individual notes, so the top, heart & base of L just blends into one big jumble.

I can’t believe that Gwen Stefani would put her name & brand to this; there’s nothing unique to this. L is not something I’d re-buy for myself; it’s so bland & lifeless.

But - thinking about it - L would be a safe gift choice for someone. It's wearable on all women, regardless of age, job etc

I like the glass bottle, but the big, gold lid is rather ugly. The staying power isn't that good. However, the price is reasonable.

Kasku

What I like about this fragrance is the lily of the valley. It just makes me feel happy, cause it was my favourite flower as a little girl, mostly because of the scent. It's a very confident scent. I realy like it even tho Gwen made it. I am not very keen on this girl...I know, I know everyone is :) I tried but I don't feel her style nor music, but nose she has a good one. I also like the Harajuku girls scents(... and those chicks bug me even more)

jatzzie

I can clearly smell the pear in this fragrance and seeing as I am a great pear scent addict, I love it! Overall this perfume is very fresh, fruity and yummy, in a way reminds me of the Escada summer series as well as Moschino's I love love.Another thing I really like is the bottle itself.The lid may be a bit well...unpractical and chunky but I really like the colors of the bottle (red,green,yellow) and overall it's very unique and Gwenlike.Me likes.=) This on my list of fragrances to buy.=)

ramiske

Despite conflicting reviews, I really like LAMB. I don't really smell the pear and peach so much as I do the blend of florals. Even though Gwen describes it as 'green', I don't get that at all?? It is a very light pleasing fragrance that is different from other florals I have, and I really like it! The gel/lotion are nice too.

Be aware, the 3.4 bottle is HUGE due to the lid design, and kind of klunky---the lid is weird and hard to remove. This will be my summer fragrance.

guest_VICKY

For me this perfume is really strange but in a good way..is not that tipical aquatic fragrance fresh like Leau per Kenzo..its a bit powdery but fresh (at leats for me)..and has a great lasting power..really diferent..ideal for daytime

dalkiuyu

I really wanted to like this but as soon as I sniffed it on a card I knew it wasn't for me.
To me, it smells like chlorine with a hint of peach and some nauseating flower (probably the sweet pea). Not good.

Princess

This have to be the worst fragrance I ever smelled. This stuff is horrible! Even my boyfriend hated it and my sister..A very weird fragrance... like washing soda

missk

I bought the shower gel as a gift for my housemate last year and she absolutely loved it. I have fond memories of the bathroom smelling like L after she'd used it. I decided to try the perfume the other day and I was hoping that it would smell like the shower gel did only a lot softer.

I was a little disappointed to find out that it did smell exactly the same as the shower gel. It's a nice, pleasant scent, (don't get me wrong), but it stands out to me as a fragrance that smells better as a shampoo or body wash, not as a perfume.

chelle

i couldnt find this in the store and was dying to try it so i got a sample. i am really glad i did not buy it. the best way i could describe it would be a heavy and intrusive rosy scent. i wouldnt recommend it to anyone, mostly because then id have to smell it on them. i really think i could get a headache from smelling it all day.

sharyssa

I really like this one to me it smells like peach and sweet pea with a slight soapy smell.In my opinion one of the best scents out there.I do like the bottle alot it's so pretty.Would be my signature scent but I am currently crazy about M by Mariah Carey!

knics33

LOVE this- it is so fresh and clean. I love anything with pear and this is the perfect floral/pear/aquatic. Great for summer but really works at any time. I have a sweet tooth and this is a great break from my heavier scents. A+.

XoXoL.o.V.e

This One Smell Very Fresh And Clean,Its Nice And Unique I Really Like It. ;) and the staying power is sooooo long!

Amanda79

I'm a huge fan of Gwen Stefani! I was so excited to smell this perfume. It let me down so bad. I expected something bold from her, something that made a statement like her style in music, clothes and makeup. She played it safe. Its not bad, just not what I expected I guess. Kinda like Curve Soul with a kick. I might buy a bottle in the spring, ive seen it for sale cheap. I'm not fond of the bottle but at least its different!

Malegria

It made me interested at first, but after I had it on my wrist for a while, I got very bothered by it. It`s a sharp, plastic scent,quite insolent, and in my opinion, will suit very few.

kay_li13

i wish the hideous cap was gone though. blegh, the bottle is so pretty underneath.

kay_li13

i loooooooooooooooove this scent! because this is the first time i have enjoyed a floral. the flowers in this actually smell like real flowers and for once, something in the top note stays on my skin! i have some anjou pear body spray that this reminds me of that i love. as it dries down, the sweetness of the pear and the freshness of the flowers just get better and it works together oh-so-well! looooove it. A+++

Rosierose

You have to give this one a minute for the final result. It is one of a kind. It's sublte and reminds me of fresh rose petals in water with a kick of pear. I love how natural it feels, yet it may not be for everyone. Lasts all day on me*** and I love it ***

snobuni77

When I sprayed this on my wrists at Macy's I got mainly fruit.It smelled like peach & lots of it.I didn't get much of the floral on myself.I was really disappointed .But when I smelled it from the bottle I loved it.
I will have to give this one another test run because to me it wasn't anything special & it smelled kind of childish.

The fact that I had sprayed a few other fragrances in the same half hour might have had an effect of my senses & helped to to make an unfair judgment

Chatnoir

Mmm Mmmm. I smelled this at the store, and I'm hooked. I get the pear loud and clear, followed by an avalanche of light florals. Upbeat, sassy, and fun- "L" would be a great daytime scent.

katyas

I absolutely ADORE this fragrance - it is clean, flowery and aquatic and while the scent is "there," it isn't overpowering. On me it lasts a good long time. I like to spray this on before I go to bed sometimes, just so I can sniff at it's lusciousness while I fall asleep.

LizzieM

I bought this without too much thought as it was going at a very good price. I don't use it much and can't see that I will be finishing the 30ml bottle, doubt I will be buying it again. It is OK if you are at a loose end for something to spray onto yourself. It is quite different, strong, but doesn't last and people do ask what it is....me thinks perhaps they want to know so that they can make sure they don't buy any!!!

worshipmoments

It is VERY strong, but I love the scent. Feel rich like Gwen(it represents Gwen's personality)..LOL...
Last all day long...
First I HATED IT...but after 30 mnt, the smell changed into something I LOVE...

kim white

When I first smelled it I thought it smelled like gasoline.Then all I could smell was really strong roses.I sprayed it on myself to give it a chance.My husband loved it, then 15 minutes later he said it completely changed into something strange.To me its just way too strong.Sorry Gwen!

sjanira

I tried this yesterday and agree with most here, it's not great but I wouldn't say it's bad either I just wouldn't buy it. It's definitely not for me and I expected something better from Gwen. Not to mention the hideous bottle which to me looks like not to much effort was put in. The design looks like a video game memory card inserted into a square nintendo box.

amanda

i tested it yesterday, and i just didnt like it, threse nothing in it that bothers me, actually theres nothing interesting in it, and its not even fresh, though i expected sg freshness from a floral aquetic scnet, in was just floral for me,and a bit boring

kiselina

For me L is a surprise. Nice, classical fragrance, feminine and with good lasting power. The dominant notes are peach, pear and rose, though my nose catches maracuja too.
There is something else as well- a smell, which reminds me of a hairdresser studio, something, which smells like shampoo and hair colour. It's just an allusion, it's not unpleasant at all, and this note makes L an interesting and unique fragrance.
The bottle is original too.

PerfumeEmpress

Sorry, I have to pan this one. In my very personal opinion, this is one of the worst scents I have ever smelled. Fresh?! Good grief, compared to what? This is the only perfume, in my long experience, that literally makes me gag. I find it cloying, smelly rather than fragrant, cheap. Just comes to prove that if you slap a celebrity name on something (anything), it will sell.

mightyaphrodite

This is very Gwen. Now although it's listed as a fresh citrus scent, i thought it was more of a slightly sharp floral fragrance. A little too much floral and slightly complex with a little bit of musk! The spray on is sharp and you have to wait a while to let it dry into a lighter and simpler lightly soapy flavor. The lasting power is very good for an EDP. I could smell it on myself the day after i sprayed it on! More on the mature side for me.

sweetbee

I loved the refreshing change of this perfume to all my others, and feel young and refreshed when I wear it, love the way the fragrance develops as I wear it

Migotka

Very nice, but very flat at the same time. Doesnt evolve much. I could only smell lily of the valley and some jasmin with a light touch of the freesia. The other notes are rather overwhelmed by those three.
I dont think I would ever buy it myself, but it is a nice fragrance on somebody else.

coco76

i know this has ABSOLUTELY nothing to do with how this perfume smells...but the commercials for this perfume drove me insane...i normally admire gwen but i thought the commercial was beneath her..and although i have not tried it, a whiff from the bottle gave me an impression of a cheap citrusey perfume that i had when i was 12..(i think it was called malibu mist but i could be mistaken) . sorry gwen, love you to bits but not so much this perfume.

guest_ywilson

Initially, I HATED this fragrance, but one day I smelled it on someone else and fell in love with it. I went to purchase it, and have been wearing it ever since.

Passionflower

I've fallen in love with this one! It smells fresh as well as feminine, I wear it at daytime mostly.

klee0206

If I were to go by the written description of this perfume, I should definitely like it, but I've tried it and it's definitely not for me! Much too loud and gaudy! It certainly has lasting power, I'll give it that. The smell just wouldn't go away for hours. It was only after I had washed the sprayed area with soap and water that it finally became muted to something more acceptable-smelling.

jmp

I love this- I like heavier spicier scents (Angel, Amirage, Michael, etc) and this works well for the summer and daytime for me. The body lotion seems to smell better than the perfume in my opinion. Overall, I love it.

Aeternitas

It smells like a bathing suit that has been in freshly chlorinated pool-water that was carelessly tossed into the corner of a room and left there, damp for days. The more I smell this, the more I hate it to the point where it has become one of my most hated perfumes right next to Clinique Happy ( I find the two similar, btw). It's horrid, I don't understand the popularity of it. I can't stand the way it smells on me. I've worn it on my skin so many times, and it is disgusting, even on other people. This perfume is a joke. It smells like plastic barbie hair and fake pears. It bothers me THAT much.

guest_zanya c

I love this perfume and im olny 13
i think its the best perfume ive ever had in my life.I wear it when im at school or im going out for a meole with my family.it smells lovely and great and i think its the best.

takemyhusbandplz

Well, on my skin I get mostly pear and very heady roses and helitrope. I do get a very slight aquatic feel too. My husband HATES this one, he said it smells like a locker room. So, I probably will not be wearing it much. It actually makes stationary smell fabulous, so I will probably use mine to scent my writing papers.

guest_Violet

The pear scent was too prevalent for me. I felt like I was wearing a spray from Bath & Body.

Aeternitas

It has that maritime scent that it represents. A little alien to me, but it's interesting. When I smell it, I do think of Gwen Stefani and her personality.

Chaosnmotion

Very nice fragrance, not as bold as I expected considering Gwen's reputation but overall not a bad beginning. It has a little muskiness to it but not in an offensive way, I like it.

pimpnazt

This, for me, is a fresh, energizing day fragrance. It's often what I wear daily to work. It's wonderful.
