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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

I received a sample of this today. For the first time I understand what people mean when they say "it smells like plastic". Plastic like from the baby dolls I used to have as a little girl. Their plastic faces smelled just like this. I don't understand. All these wonderful flowers and all I can smell is plastic. How? Why? Very sad.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

I don't know "L" but I definitely agree with Aeternitas about Clinique Happy which I hate a lot.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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