Harajuku Lovers Lil` Angel by Harajuku Lovers

ktv0926

Lil` Angel, as well as the rest of Harajuku Lovers, smells like a Disney fragrance for children, priced for $5.00, suitable for 5-10 years old girls. If you are older than 10 – it’s a joke. Escada fruity fragrances compared to Harajuku Lovers are the most complicated, sophisticated and mature scents one could ever come across.

I am just amazed by that power of advertising and the ability of some geniuses to make a best seller out of nowhere.

Smells sort of like beer to me!lol...the pineapple & rose stand out the most to me,one of the better ones of this line.

Yesss! That is exactly what I want to know! :)

For some reason when I saw the testers in stores, I knew they had the small bottles but when the salegirls spray the sample bottles, that is what I thought I was getting for the 30-something dollars. I was wrong. :((

It is too bad because I love those bottles so much better. Not just because of the size of it, it is much more realistic size. The dolls are so tiny and would probably get used up very quickly even if you didn't wear much perfume.

But it's a better bottle. If given a choice, I would let the little ones and youger women set buy the cute bottles. I might have bought one as a gift or collectors item for myself. It is very whimsical and I love that sort of thing. :)

But for myself I would rather a plain bottle. The stickers on it are cute enough and make me smile! :)

Actually if I ended up liking one of them enough, I would pay extra if I decided to get one, so I could have the bigger bottle. Even if it was a bit smaller than the tester. It is more realistic.

Anyway I hope they add something different to the line soon! I think they would increase their customer base and profit. :) Just a thought, maybe I am wrong. That's just what would appeal to me. :)

(Yea... can't get past the cigarettes and soda pop! :) Hopefully once the top notes and some of the heart passes, if this one has layers being so comercial, maybe it will smell good on me?)

update (2/4) I just spritzed the last of my sample this morning, family agreed weird smell. It's funny because once it fades even a bit past most of the heart, it is sooo pretty. Warmth/comfort (maybe the same thing that stinks in the beginning? the woods? sorry just how it smells to me. ) And then you can smell some of the fruit. But I would have to get to like this, and I think I could over time. But I don't want to have to. And if I have to pay 30 dollars and use a bottle up to decide. I don't want to spend money on it right now. lol. And I don't want to have to wait for the strong smell to go away, to smell the good smell. Which is very faint once it gets to that point. I am very sorry, because I was excited about this one, being fun, young, and from Gwen! I love her. :) Maybe someone else will love it?

I am testing this now... When I first smelled it at the store I kind of cringed. There was something strong and chemical. I was told about the fruity notes but I couldn't smell them so much. It didn't smell bad though. So I took a sample home.

Since I haven't smelled anything like this before it has confused me. Sometimes I think Gwen's perfumes are really nice. And other times I don't. it makes me sad because it's qwen.

Here is what I am getting smelling this one tonight: And I am not being mean or putting it down. Just trying to find the thing that most resembles what I am smelling...

Then I thought ashes/ ashtray, and soda pop? I know that must sound weird.

The description is a really fruity one but chemicals more than fruit. I couldn't smell the fruit but I figured I would give it a chance, since perfumes tend to change so much on me lol.

So that is what I am getting so far, cigaretes and maybe grape soda-pop. I know it doesn't smell exactly like that, but it's the closest thing I can think of. Don't ask me why lol.

I am really sad it is not one of my favorites. Between the friuty notes, these dolls are so cute! But if they and up smelling cheap or chemical then I can't buy one... I will try this sample the next few days and try to get used to it. :)

yeah cigaretes, some kind of soda pop or candy, or punch, and some kind of sweet vanilla at the bottom.

I will see how I think of it over the next few days. :)

The .33 oz is ridiculously small they shouldn't even be allowed to sell them that small really all your buying is a doll. The 1 oz is better but still not big enough. Are they ever going to sell the 3.4 oz tester size?

Shyn's Release

I love this its fruity I can smell pineapple.It just jumps off my skin with an amazing sillage so far this is my favorite Harajuku Lovers.The bottle is so darn cute.

I love this perfume. It smells like lollipops and pinapple. It is very sweet and good for people who like fruity perfumes. It is fresh, young, and energetic. If you mix this with G,as Oh Sugar said, it smells fantastic!

Robynlovesperfume

Smells like rancid pineapples, sitting out in the sun for over a week. Terribly cheap with hardly any effort put into this scent. In fact, much more effort was put into the dolls and their outfits than the actual fragrance, by FAR. Sorry to all who like it, but this was the best I could do on this one. Blech.

I love harajuku's little angel and am a big fan of the rest of them! I haven't quite smelled anything like this and I usually do not like fruity but this one is very appealing to me!

This is the third one I've tried and I don't like it. I think if I was still 13 it would appeal to me, but pinepple on its own doesn't really move me anymore. I have decide though that the samples would make a great X-mas present for my 10 year old sister.

Kristel

A fruity Floral. Colourful. Tasty. Sweet. Love it.

Oh Sugar

Lovely! Rather sweet but not sugary, like G, I love the pineapple in it, it's fresh and plesant. You know what happens when you mix it with G? You get pinacolada!

Ellen Chen

I love the smell of lil angel
so sweet and candy like, made me
smell my wrist all day long.
Love and lil angel are my fav of
harajuku lovers but basically
I love em all for their unique design.

There was no doubt about it, when I first smelt this fragrance I knew there was a note of pineapple in there somewhere.

Pineapple is quite possibly my least favourite note since it doesn't blend well with my skin chemistry and usually makes me nauseous.

Lil' Angel reeks of pineapple. Strong, sharp, juicy and headache inducing.

This fragrance reminds me so much of YSL's Baby Doll, it is almost like a complete replica. While the scent is quite fresh and for some, (who enjoy the smell of fresh pineapple), quite appealing, I can't seem to warm towards this fragrance even though I have tried.

Lil' Angel unfortunately was my least favourite out of the Harajuku Lovers series.

I think this scent is so harajuku japan style like no other of the scents

I just recived my samples of all the HL perfumes. I decided to try Lil'Angel first. Now it opens but extremly fruity and it smells alot like one of those Chupa Chup lollipops. I think that this scent is really great for any casual occasion such as school or hanging out with friends.
The only problem is that it disappeared so soon. But I think that if I layer it with lotion it will last longer. I am planning on mixing Lil' Angel with Music I wonder what the effect would be.

APassionateJourney

Sharyssa, I agree 100%! These damn things are a rip-off! Now she's changing the outfits? The least she could've done was upped the anti on the juice and made them EDPs so they could last more than 20 minutes on your skin!

sharyssa

Some of these smell good but 3 of them are not impressive.Gwen needs to up the size of the bottles instead of changing outfits on these pricey rip off's.I bought 2 of them and I will not purchase anymore. $45.00 for what? an ounce of fragrance and a doll that I will toss in the trash one day? No more harajuku for me.

babybomb

This is my favorite from the line of harajukus! its one of those perfumes where i feel i can breath in it. Love the fruity smell and the bottle is really cute.
The only thing is i think it smells a bit cheap and too simple for a 'perfume' rather than some single noted deoderant..
would love it as a gift, but definetly won't go out buying it myself =]

I experienced Lil' Angel intitially as a blind smiff. And I thought it was a Bond 9, (which may be a great endorsement of Harajuku, a condemnation of Bond or just a testament to how unsophisticated my nose it.) Here's the thing, I thought I hated fruity perfume, apart from bitter citrus, but I like this. I like this a lot. I like how the sweet blends with the floral. I don't get the berries, but I definitely do get the pineapple and the rose.

I think Malibu best summed up with light and happy.

I have now sampled both "Lil' Angel" and "Baby" from the Harajuku line. Obviously, I will review "Baby" on the appropriate page. Since I found "Baby" so soft and charming, I expected "Lil Angel" to be, at the very least, pleasant. To my nose, "Lil Angel" is putrid with absolutely no favorable notes. I must be fair though. I only tolerated the scent for about 12 minutes. Normally, I will allow a fragrance to work it's magic, regardless of the end result. I know that that is the only TRUE and REAL way to evalute a perfume. However, I haven't been this displeased with a fragrance since last week when I tested Usher's newest scent. HL's "Lil Angel" smells like burnt popcorn topped off with some fruit that has long-passed it's expiration date. In all honesty, I cannot fathom how this fragrance would smell well on anyone. It is just bad and it doesn't seem that anyone's body chemistry could redeem this. Luckily, I find "Baby" absolutely precious and I look forward to trying the remaining three in this set.

Loveluxxx

Smells rather like Victoria's Secret Pear Glace to me, nothing particularly unique. Just a pleasant, strongly pear-scented fragrance.

shadyisme

this one to me smells real good, but my friend doesnt really like it and we usually like the same fragrances

Malibu

Credit where credits due; LIL' ANGEL Is a light & fun 'happy' scent.

However, it isn’t anywhere near original & the top notes are too sweet, it borders on sickly on me. It's still my favourite out of the line, though.


All in all it's too tween. The lasting power is good & the doll topped bottle is so cute!!



Scent notes: Raspberry, cranberry, blackberry, pineapple, blossom, candied violet, sugared rose, lollipop accord, hinoki wood and crystal amber.

I bought this one yesterday. My parents love it. I sprayed the tester all over my jacket. It is so refreshing. My dad said that it smelled like apple juice. They both think that this is the best one out of all the Harajuku Lovers. I said to my parents that the company will make a lot of money out of Harajuku Lovers because people would buy because of the lovely dolls. Some people don't care about the smell; they just want to collect the dolls. Lil' Angel is also popular among my circle of friends. They all like light fruity scents.

Instead of beer, I think this perfume smells more like bubbly champagne and pineapple. Very sweet. Simple, but I like it!

Angilina

Lil' Angel: Fruity floral. Juicy raspberry, lush pear blossom and warm hinoki woods. - OK, nothing noteworthy though, kind of has a scented detergent thing going.

Darlene1959

This fragrance has a refreshing scent to it. The pineapple top note really brings out a fresh smell and it is very popular at my place of employment.

guest_meliss
