If you have a younger sister or cousin (or even niece) whose birthday is coming up, this might be the perfect gift for them. Or it could also be a Christmas gift for your friends who’s young at heart :)

Harajuku Lovers is a collection of fragrances that are inspired by Tokyo street style and captures the lyrics and iconography of Gwen Stefani’s albums. There are 5 fragrances in the collection, each comes in a quirky doll decanter with unique character to suit your mood.

G, Love, Lil’ Angel, Music and Baby. The price range from $25 – $45 a pop.

I am definitely too old for this but I have to admit, the dolls are pretty darn cute!

Update :

A few hours after writing this post I received samples for all 5 Harajuku Lovers fragrances from Dunia Dandan! Thanks Deb! So here’s what I think of them :

G

Probably the most acceptable one out of the 5 scents. It smells like coconut and vanilla. Nothing special but not annoying either. Very suitable as a teenagers’ “first perfume”

Love

Very generic and synthetic floral fragrance. I can’t even detect which notes are which because they seem to be of equal strength. At first spritz, I thought I could live with it. But after 10-15 minutes it gets even stronger and more cloying I had to scrub it off my skin with soap and water. Not my favorite at all.

Lil’ Angel

The pineapple note is very transparant on this one from beginning to end. Reminds me of Escada Rockin’ Rio. Fun and summery. Again, perfect for teenagers.

Music

When I first put it on I thought I’ve smelled this before and then it hits me..this smells exactly like Bath & Body Works Pearberry . Unless you want to collect the bottles, I’d say skip this and buy the B&BW one instead.

Baby

Well true to its name, this really does smell like baby powder! Very powdery with a touch of floral. I am not a fan but again, I am not the right demographic for them :)

  15. cynthia says:

    kemarin dapat sample-nya dari myer. cobaiin yang G (lumayan sih menurut aku) dan yang Baby (bener2 kayak baby powder, somewhat refreshing, bikin adem baunya). dan pas di myer, yang cewek semprot2nya juga di dandanin persis kayak botolnya. keren deh. bisa aja dapat mukanya mirip gitu.

    so far baru punya yang Love dan Lil’Angel. wanginya enak2 kok (selera orang beda). Gue sih suka2 aja meskipun umur udeh bukan ABG lagi udeh emak2 malah.
    kepincut karena botolnya yang lucu. cute banget buat ditaruh di meja rias. Sekarang masih pengen yang lainnya biar si Love and Lil’ angel ada temannya.
