Very excited when saw the Winter limited edition at the airport, bought it immediately. Quite nice when put it next to my bigger Music one.
Smells alright, too sweet for me to wear though.

I bought these because they were bogo at ulta for .33fl oz, which they are still nicely sized bottles. I'm guessing this line is for the younger crowd. Love is very light and wearable during winter. I like it but its definitely a mature scent, I wouldnt recommend for a small girl, tween, or teen. Love, to me, smells like a mix between victoria secret heavenly with a faint sweetness of sarah jessica parker lovely. I love the bottle more with the houndstooth print and the hair is so cute.

I have to admit I bought this set (.33 oz spray and solid compact) because I love the packaging. I knew Gwen had some products out in the market but really did not know what they were. I ran into this by accident in WalMart of all places. Great deal because I got the set for 20.00 ! I was pleasantly surprised with the scent. It is soft and I love soft fragrance. I really thought it would sit on my vanity for show not that I would actually like the fragrance A LOT ! I have never cared for most traditional perfume because most are just too strong for me.

After I tried it I decided to come to Makeup Alley to read reviews. I get a big kick out of all of the people who are about half my age (51) who think things like these doll bottles are for kids :) I adore things like this ! Makes me think of Hello Kitty. I missed her first time around because I was a teen and too cool for such things . Now I like what I like and don't care what anyone thinks when I wear my Hello Kitty watch ! The older I get the more I discover the child I tried so hard to leave behind in my teens and twenties.

I think I will purchase this fragrance in a large tester size!

I liked this better before I bought the L by L.A.M.B. fragrance, because to me, they are both very similar scents. However, Love pales next the to the other, and it is a bit more flower garden, less exotic, a bit sweeter. I am not wearing this because I prefer the other one, even though I was wearing it for a while. Still, really adore the cute bottle and the solid perfume I got in the set. It's also a weaker scent, and not as long lasting.

It's *okay* - 3 stars is perfect for it. I actually won the perfume through a magazine contest, love the bottle! The scent is pretty standard, smells nice, it's wearable, not overpowering (I like this aspect lots), but I wouldn't choose this as my "signature scent". It's just nice to have on the shelf when I feel like wearing something different.

It's weird how fragrances work differently on different people. Reading other reviews, a lot of women call this a rose scent, but I didn't get a lot of floral "heart" notes from this at all. On me, it was a blast of grapefruit, maybe with a musky base. For that, I like it, since I love grapefruit, but there are so many citrus scents in my perfume stash, like So Pink and Silk Yuzu from the Gap, that I'm not in a hurry to run out and get it.

Also, the bottles are so not me.

This one worked the best on me. A lot of the Harajuku Lovers perfumes disappeared the second I put them on. Love isn't the strongest scent, but it is there, very close to the skin. I smell mostly a peony/rose combo, but maybe a little bit of musk? There is something a little different within the standard floral mix that I can't figure out. It is still a very basic pretty flower garden smell, but just enough of a twist to keep me interested. I didn't get any weird sour drydown, stayed pretty consistent on me. And of course the bottle is totally adorable. Try it out first though!

Love was a sweet light floral that soured in record time. I wouldn't recommend anyone buy any of the scents in this line without actually trying them on their skin first. No sale for me, I won't be buying any of the Harajuku Lovers line.

I purchased a set of 3 of this range quite cheaply, mostly because I absolutely adore the packaging which really appeals to the little girl in me :-) Love is probably the most 'adult' of the fragrances and to me smells like a slightly sweet grassy rose scent. It kind of reminds me of a much cheaper version of Stella Sheer. The bottle is the cutest of the 3 I purchased and although I think the fragrances themselves are not overly appealing to women in the same age group as me, I say enjoy them for what they are - fun and flirty! However Love is the only one I would be game enough to wear into the office, as the others I own would just make me feel like a 10 year old :-) Definitely a fun range though!

I didn't buy this perfume, but I've tested it numerous times.I've tried all the Harajuku Lover's perfumes now. I loved G, Music, and Baby, disliked Love, and hated Lil' Angel. Love is a generic floral scent. I don't know about perfume, I don't test many perfumes or anything, but I know without a doubt I've smelled numerous similar perfumes. Love really isn't all that bad-just not that special. When I first spray it, I think it smells too floral and a little like a wet dog. However, the dry down is more pleasant. Just sweet, floral blandness. This is definitely not the perfume for me. I can see why other people like this though. It's sweet and not too offensive. Lasting power is good, the best out of the HJ perfumes. The bottle is the cutest out of the collection too. However, I don't really recommend. There are much better, prettier perfumes out there.

Weird. This ended up smelling like a White Linen redux but sweeter. Not bad but will not purchase, especially since I don't care for the bottle (but can understand how they are charming to some).

Received all 5 scents as a sample. Love was the first scent I tried out of the bunch. I'm not the best at describing scents but this one just seems like a typical rose scent with some citrus. Love also doesn't last on my skin a long time, I just put it on and now I can barely smell it. If you're into rosy floral scents, you'll enjoy this one. Someone looking for a more unique perfume probably won't need to add this one to their collection. This is also much more of a summer scent.

I LOVE this one! I grew up traveling all over the world and the smell of rose water is very nostalgic for me. This has the tiniest hint of a roses smell in it.. not too much. It's absolutely perfect for me! I have the solid fragrance set.... too cute!

Well, I really like the packaging. I think it's hilarious and I'd be proud to own one. Just not this one. The scent started out as a really delicious smelling sweet thing, a fruity sweet thing but no fruits I could identify (a good thing) with just a little annoying something that bugged me a tiny bit. Something kind of spicy or synthetic...I couldn't put my finger on it. As time wore on, that something got huger and huger and now I may die of it. It is the same note or element that I recall hating in Cacharel Amor Amor.
Cannot wear.

I'm yet one more person who finds the whole Harajuku Lovers collection adorable. I just can't resist the cute.
But I also love perfume, and there are so many truly amazing, unique, and gorgeous fragrances out there that I'd just love to own. I though "Love" was the cutest of the bottles, but unfortunately, I just can't bring myself to love the juice.
Love is a fruity floral fragrance with a bit of clean musk in the base notes. It's quite sweet , and overall it has a pretty "fluffy" sort of vibe. I don't *dislike* the fragrance - but if I owned the bottle I know I wouldn't ever reach for it. I don't pick up on bergamot or bamboo in particular, mostly I just smell a "pretty" pink feminine sweet fragrance. it's pleasant, but it's just not for me.



I got a set of the Harajuku fragrance samples from Sephora, and I do plan to try all of them, and hopefully review them as well. It's not out of the question that I might end up buying one of them, but I have to like the juice, and not just the packaging.

This smells sweet and floral. It smells a bit cheap though. I really like the package and I think this is a nice product for teenagers.
