Harajuku Lovers Love Harajuku Lovers for women

I hated this one at first. Everytime I went to a fragrance sale near me, I'd give it a smell. I'm still not sure why I kept giving it a try, but I'm glad I did, because by the third time round I was in love! It's now my favourite HL scent with its sweet fruity rosiness. It's just a pity that it doesn't last nearly long enough.

I voted "like" on this one. I actually love this smell once it dries down. It smells just AWFUL for the first few seconds. I love the bottles, and would've voted "love" had it not been for the fact that the scent only sticks around for about a half hour :( which makes me sad. I like to share my harajuku lovers collection with my 8 year old. Sometimes before she goes to school I let her pick one out and I spray it on her. You can tell she feels so grown up, and I feel good knowing that the smell will be gone within the hour.

very very very Rosy! I can smell mainly roses and bamboo, and hardly any trace of fruits, this one is cute, flirty and romantic, as me being 21 years old, this scent is alittle to kiddy for me(not that I have a problem with kiddy/like scents) but I do like wearing it for a pick me up to remind me of what I would of worn if I had perfumes at the time lol this would make a great gift for the little princess of the house

I didn't know what to think of this when I first smelled it... it was unlike any other perfumes I had at the time. However, after using it for a day, I couldn't get enough of it, I really liked that uniqueness of it. It's my favorite out of all the harajuku lovers scents.

I just ran out of this, I have been using for over 3 years.
Obviously I love this fragrance. It is feminine, but has a real edge.
It starts off strong for sure, but within minutes it's a beautiful soft bergamont-rose-vanilla which works awesome for me. It's super deep too, like you're smelling a combination of many many things. Oh, and lasting power is incredible, it's all day for sure.
My boyfriend compliments me on it every time I wear, which is almost everyday, even after having smelt it so often. He still says how amazing I smell.
I've moved on to new fragrances, but he still talks about this one and asks me to get a new bottle.
Don't get me wrong, I love the fragrance, but I needed change.
But it won't be out of my life forever. As long as it's still being made, I'll be getting another bottle for it to be my fall-back.

I don't know what everyone is saying bad things, i LOVE this perfume. It's just so easy and simple, nothing too crazy. You fall right into it.

This is the only Harajuku Lover I dislike.

It smells like rubbing alcohol, weed killer, sweet pea, and roses. I tried it on in a store. I'm glad I didn't blindly buy this.

Scent: 4/10 (I've smelled worse. *cough cough* Viva la Juicy *cough cough*)
Bottle: 7/10
Staying Power 7/10

this is the only..one..i have smelled...of the harajuku lovers..and i hate this =/

This was one of the first fragrances that began my foray into perfume collecting. I began as a floral worshiper and this was pretty much up my alley. Unfortunately I believe there must be some ingredient that this manufacturer is using that just does not agree with my skin as all of the Harajuku fragrances turn on my skin. This was no exception. The wonderful feminine florals in this turn into something strange and synthetic and just slightly off. Very sad as it is lovely if it works with your chemistry.

Let me start off by saying I hate florals. Florals remind me of bathroom spray after you've used the washroom. This perfume on the other hand, is one of the only floral ones I can stand. It's a little strong when you first spray it on but it's tolerable, even to a floral hater like me, and it dries into a soft sweet floral. Very nice!

I have about 5 different perfumes on the go right now but this is the only one my boyfriend can identify when I wear it. He says he loves when I wear Love. Haha! So props for being a fragrance that can be recognized!

That being said, I'd much rather use the Harajuku Lovers G perfume...it's more my style. But Love was worth buying!

Very nice. Somewhat light but I can stand when something this light has the potential to be strong. The peach jumped out at me immediately. This is my springtime Thursday fragrance as a "looking forward to the weekend" kind of thing.

to me it's very floral but still wonderful. the bottle design is very well done. It draws you in.

Edit:
OK, so here I go again having to revise my post.
I tried this again today, a much cooler day, and it is very pleasant. More soft and less gender neutral. It's actually very good and softly floral. Not harsh at all! What a difference 20 degrees makes! Now I wish it lasted longer! I've had it on for 3 hours and it's almost gone. :(



This fragrance smells good, but it's not at all my style. On my skin, it smells so much more gender neutral, almost masculine, than the notes seem to relay.

Although it's not my favorite out of the HL bunch (a bit too floral for me) I get so much attention from guys when I wear this! It's like Love Potion Nr 9! So definitely worth getting, unless you're spoken for ;)

I love this fragrance so much! It's very floral. At first, it's a little overwhelming, but later, it's very fun, youthful and pretty! I definitely recommend this fragrance! Plus, I bought the full size (1 fl. oz) for $19!

This one is my second favorite in the HL line is smells veery fruityy and fresh perfect for everday

I really like this scent! Very fresh & clean! It just does'nt have any staying power! They need to make a perfume, because the scent is beautiful!Did you get that Gwen!I still love you! nO dOUBT! :)

This is a little sharp and screechy when first applied but settles to a very fresh floral. Non offensive and a little different than other florals on the market. It is a little like Whimsical from Revlon. Even Kate Moss Velvet Hour maybe it has freesia in it. Freesia to me can smell sharp and spicey at times I can see where others think it is a little spicey. It lasted well on me too and so did the Music one. I think these two are the nicest the others smell like chemicals. They are too expensive for the size and Gwen has not got the message because the new mermaid one is the same sort of size and expensive so I guess nothing is going to change there. I suspect people get sucked in by the bottles and that's ok because everyone collects perfume for diffirent reasons.

love this fragrance, sweet and fresh to use in day :)

Love it! Very pretty and clean. I don't like the prices for the sizes though.

For me, it is a bit cold fragrance.
Although it says it's floral, i felt like it's woody.
Hmmm, it's great for Autumn and chilly weather.
Anyway, I'm not using this one anymore since it reminds me of my ex boyfriend.
I wore this perfume when we last met.

I tested the other four perfumes in this collection earlier and was not at all impressed. Some of them were at best marginally wearable. I got a sample of this one at a later stage and wasn't expecting much at all. HOWEVER, this turned out to be absolutely lovely!!!!

It is soft, gentle, sensuous, delicate and seductive at the same time! It is not at all your typical fruity floral, it is very well blended and doesn't smell cheap at all. Creamy warm peach blending with sweet flowers, it is AWESOME on me, smooth and very feminine. The dry down is warm, sensual peach nectar drizzled with vanilla. This is actually the first perfume I've come across that reflects true peach.

I am surprised to see how many reviewers find it spicy. I don't detect anything even remotely spicy about it.

i love this frgrance, it is great for young people!!

I just ordered a 3.4 oz tester I like this one alot I had the 1oz and it is not big enough so forget the doll I like the smell!!

If Baby Powder, Sweet Pea, Flowers and Bubble Gum got together and had a Fragrance Baby... Harajuku Lover's "Love" would be it! (Heavier on the flowers and baby powder. How it smells on paper and clothes is very different all together than you skin.) It just smells like a clean, little bitter, floral. If it was a color it would be Gray. Then a surprise emerged as it melted in... pink. Very very light touch of sweet. :) mm nice.

Soft powdery floral that is clean, uncluttered, and just enough sweet to make it feminine and young. Without even coming close to any cloying or sweet gourmand. Just a touch. Something light bubble gum. On the way to work, that is all I could think while smelling it: Baby Powder, Flowers, Very Light touch of Sweet Pea &/or Bubblegum. ~ Nice. :)

Feminine sweet and lovely.

~ Just don't breathe it until it settles into your skin! Otherwise it smells a little weird :) (And strong!) But I think that maybe that is a given; being that it is a Harajuku Lover's fragrance. :) They all seem to have that "off" quality about them.

I got compliments when showing my wrists to coworkers yesterday. :)

I do have to say I don't smell the fruit notes at all. Maybe that is where the "sweet pea/ bubble gum" soft sweet note is? And absolutely no vanilla. So I don't smell the notes listed here. Maybe it's just my nose? But, Mostly it's just a powdery floral with a touch of sweet.

this has a sharp edge to it. a spicy, but odd smelling floral. i like it much better after it dries down. i also like the bottle alot better than the juice inside, but i do use it occasionally. my favorite from this line is "baby". i love to collect the bottles tho.

My boyfriend gave me a bottle of G that I liked, and I wasn't really after Love, but I found it on sale for $7.00 and decided to give it a chance. I was really surprised.

It does smell young and is not expensive or sophisticated but, it is fun! :) And honestly I can't pass up the bottles they are just too cute.

I tried some of this on paper and my wrist while i was waiting for the lady at the perfume store to write down prices for another scent. I am one of those people that gets sucked in by the flask and this has got to be one of the most adorable flasks i have ever seen ^_^ There was something really special about this fragrance so i thought to myself i'll add it to my 'wish' list when i am back at home.

By the time I got home I was completely IN-LOVE and sniffing my wrist and the test strip for the entire night. The next day I went back and made a purchase LOL!

I know what fragrance I'll be wearing this summer, this is my new favorite <3

Love is an not excatly what I imagined "Love" to smell like. Not entirely anyway.

The opening is light and sweet. The only note that stands out is a lemony-fruit note. May be the peaches, not sure.

When love starts to get down to business, a burst of shy flowers explode onto your skin. I can't tell them apart, but i know that they sorta work. Delicate and sugary, i would imagine this is what someone would imagine a flower would smell like. As if a cartoon figure gave a girl cartoon figure a single flower and she sniffed that single flower: Love is what she would smell.

The ylang-ylang is found in most mature and "classic" fragrances and perhaps this gives off a romantic feeling, but Love seems to try very hard. Kinda when an immature girls wants to smell mature. Not happening.

Love is girlish, quite peachy, watery and as sweet as sugar syrup, however it has a soft vanilla base.

I went to test it for the Narcissus and Ylang-ylang, but sorry overall it's not my type, though the bottle is an eye candy.

Gwen’s freaky dollies xD Never had any desire to try them out, since they ‘look’ quite childish and … not quite kawaii imo. [actually, if I once love any of them frags, I don't care about package xD] But, once you start lacking of stuff to try [grr… the UK town I live atm doesn‘t provide more than capital city I hanged around before. Still there‘s stuff like this left undiscovered], you just grab something you never tried.. Sometimes it leads to surprises.. Pleasant ones, sometimes not. So this one, started not so hot [too much alcoholic to my taste], but developed into eau de Issey alike. Just similar a bit. Weird. Shira nei .. I wanna bubblegum -.- I'll better try Lil' Angel

This is one of my favorites! It smells so pretty. You don't even have to spray on a lot because the scent lasts for a while. I would definitely recommend it.

i love this one! i just wish it came in a bigger bottle! this is the fourth perfume i have bought at walgreen on sale! it was on clearance for $14. I bought it about a 2 months ago and it is almost gone. I would definatley buy this again! i am a big fan of musk, so this is nice

This scent is very neat and unexpected for a celebrity fragrance with such a young targeted age. At first glance, I wasn't quite sure what to expect from Love. One spray later, and i knew i had to have it. On me, this scent is very green and bamboo-ish. Its like being in a cool, soothing pond with bamboo growing all around. It is undeniable sweetened by a melange of flowers, but i always get that dewy, fresh and wet bamboo note. It is very long lasting and is a memorable scent.

I was a bit hesitant to try out these Harajuku things, they seemed sooo kitschy but Love is a very charming little scent.

It kind of reminds me of the clean scent of washed clothes straight out of the washing machine before you put them on the line. Clean & fresh & sweet from the fabric softner.

It is simple, uplifting, familiar & I like it.

I always get a lot of compliments when I wear LOVE.

She's a spicy, peppy little flower. A cute little trouble maker. Wakes and lifts you up for an evening of fun.

I don't get a real sweetness from this, just a gorgeous floral blend with a kick.

I love to wear this on a night out with my boyfriend, who also loves this.

I get asked what i'm wearing every time i spray on this fragrance, i really like the smell.

Such a cute concept and great packaging. Unfortunely, all the perfumes in this line smell the same to me. They smell like shampoo to me, or suntan lotion, all perfectly good in their element, but not an ideal perfume note for me.

i used to like it a lot, but now i find it smells strange. Like almost rubbery,maybe its just me.

One of the more pleasent ones of the line,weird because i thought i would like the floral fruities(but didnt) & this one smells pretty much like nothing but flowers & it was more pleasent to smell,but i still dnt really like it.=/

at first i disliked it (smelled like sour smelling peaches)but when i tried it later,it smelled like bubble gum.This is on my wish list :)

Would anyone be willing to swap their Love for G? I have G and just don't wear it and I am interested in this one.

This was a nice fresh peony scent.Great for Spring and Summer.I am not a big fan of peony but the bottle is adorable.

This one is the strongest and most grown up of the harajuku collection. To me it smells spicy and at first a little bit like bubblegum. I used to hate this scent, but now I just think it is okay. I sprayed a tester on myself a few days ago and it was tolerable. I would not wear this, but I would not wrinkle my nose if I smelt it on someone else.

Love is my second favorite after G.

first I want to say about the bottles. I heard people calling them tacky and cheap...I think their cute and real collectors items. Gwen knows what sells and whats 'in' and I know all the girls who like japan and all the stuff around it, love these kawaii perfumes.

ok about the scent. its a soft, romantic floral fragrance with a slightly fruity intro. its absolutely not too sweet and I really dont get why some people say it smells like bubblegum. weird.

anyways Love has the most 'signature' scent potential since it has the most character from all the Harajuku Lovers fragrances

This is the best of all the Harajukus-- the other four are all intolerably cheap vanilla musk based. This is a sweet (EXTREMELY sweet) watery, pink floral. The ylang ylang is the most dominant note. A nice fragrance for a teenage girl and the only one of the Harajukus worth buying.

A sensuous floral. Tender. Romantic. Sensual.

Of all Harajuku perfume, I think this one may be the best. Floral, really pretty. I think that if you asked a typical teenage girl which one of these five is the prettiest, she'd say that Love is.

This perfume is lovely and sweet. I find it to be very comforting when I spray this on after a long day at school. The lasting power is pretty short and I have to reapply often. But I love this anyways.

Just as Sashenka said below me, this perfume smells like bubblegum.... Or more specifically in my opinion, HubbaBubba bubble gum, but in a much lighter and more mature way. I don't find it too childish at all.. Of course it's not sophisticated by any means, but it's a fun, carefree fragrance, and I'm happy just with that. My only complaint is that it doesn't last very long, you'd have to respray pretty well almost every hour to keep this scent with you all day long.

Smells like classic bubblegum. Actually not unpleasant but the bottle(and this whole line)irritates me to no end so I gave it away and feel no regrets about it.

I bought all the harajuku lovers set
cos they are so cute to display, and
also very nice smell, especially
love which is floral and feminine and lil angel which is sweet and candy like.
I really love this set of perfume and
the idea of making personality for each
one of em was......oh blimey what
is the exact word to express it?
........Kanpeki Da!

I'll admit that prior to testing the Harajuku Lovers series, I had little respect for Gwen Stefani fragrances. I was actually surprised when I first tested Love, I didn't expect it to be so unique and addictive.

The scent is soft and sweet. It smells somewhat like musk sticks, but a hell of a lot nicer and smoother on the skin.

The sillage is fantastic. I sprayed a tiny squirt on my left wrist and everywhere I went I felt like I was shrouded in a cloud of this fragrance. Perhaps the sillage is a little too strong because after a few hours I began to feel a little dizzy.

Overall, this is a nice balance between musky and sweet. It doesn't smell childish yet somehow I can't imagine a mature woman wearing Love.

Harajuku Lovers Love, is for the spriteful, energetic and pretty young women that aren't afraid to wear something bold and sugary sweet.

Reading a few reviews blow I was expecting something sickly sweet and bland. But when it landed on my skin it smelled very floral at frist. But then it became rather spicy and not sweet at all. Now I am not talking heavy spices like YSL's Opium. Love is more like Opiums more light hearted teenage sister.

I got the solid Harajuku Lovers Love and I put some on and then I sprayed some Cabotine by Gres over it and I had such a lovely smell it's my new mix from now on!

Nice light perfume. I do not agree that it is too sweet, it is not. It is softly fresh. Really caring and comforting. It does wear off rather quickly.

in my opinion, mix G with love, music, or baby. it smells really good.

This smells cheap and unpleasant. Overly sweet (and this comes from someone who likes sweet)and no thought put into it. The same can be said for the bottle. Just peach and jasmine.

I smelt something very similar when i went to Paris a few years back, this scent takes me back with every sniffle. I am sure it's the pink pomelo and narcissus. My # 1 out of four of these five finger puppet/money suckers. They are all unique and some extraordinary, but not cute enough to be cost worthy this day in age.

I bought Love and Baby. The 2 best ones of them all. Love is fruity,soft and sweet with a flowery hint. Very delightful but I wish I could get a 3.4 oz of this I would make this a signature scent it smells soooo good!

this one smells real good...but it doesnt stay on me for too long which sux

This one is too spicy. Smells like aniseed which I don't like. My friend bought it because of the cute bottle. She buys perfumes only for their beautiful bottles because she is allergic to fragrances. She would sneeze if she smelled them, so she usually wouldn't even bother to smell before she buys. She just wants something beautiful to collect.

Love: Sensuous floral. Pink peonies, delicate paperwhites, rose and sensuous musk -

Too spicy, smells mostly of the paperwhites which Im not too crazy about.

it has a nice scent at first, but it wore off after an hour of wear. not one of my favorites considering some of my other perfumes lasts the enitre day.

I like this one a lot, but it wears off way too quickly. It's a very nice light floral fragrance, great for everyday. And I would have bought it if it hadn't dissapeared so soon!

It's a light perfume with me, and young girl like to wear it, like my sister.

So help me, this is the 2nd in the collection that I like! Love is a fresh floral. It's creamy, a bit musky, and slightly spicy. There is a note in here that is familiar and takes me back, though I can't pin point what it is. Love is perfect for daily wear. Something like this could be shared by my young daughter and I, instead of my "good" fragrances. Knock the price down a few notches and I'd buy a bottle.
