The Scent of (Gwen's) Love:


The ad for Gwen Stefani's new perfume, "L" (minus 'nodoubtweb', obvi)

An older article on NoDoubtWeb said:

Stefani’s fragrance, created with Firmenich, has top notes of sparkling green freshness, leafy water hyacinth, white freesia, fresh pear and violet leaves; a heart of jasmine petals, rose, lily of the valley, sweet pea and orange blossom, and a drydown of frangipani blossom, peach skin, heliotrope flower and sensual musk.

“My mom had sweet peas in the yard growing up,” said Stefani, who grew up in Anaheim, Calif., as one of four children. “I wanted this fragrance to be light, fresh and clean. I want people to say, ‘I want to smell like that.’

Why L? “It’s the first letter in L.A.M.B., and it stands for love,” said Stefani. And it will always be memorable to her for other reasons: “It’s always going to remind me of this time in my life, of giving birth to my son and the [apparel] line and everything else. It’s always going to be special to me.”

That said, Stefani made it clear that she’s not going to settle for just one scent.

“I’m currently working on five fragrances,” she said. “But this one is intended to be the classic.”


Fragrance available for pre-order here.

There's very few perfumes I like (soooo many give me a headache!) but that is one great looking bottle! Plus, I'm a gwennabe-- doesn't that necessitate me owning it? Haha.

I'm more of a Bath and Body Works person. But Cool Water and J-Lo Glow smells really good.

I don't know about the rest of the world, but I can't help but think of L from Death Note when seeing this perfume... Screw Love!!! Bring on the Smell of L!!!

As for perfume(aha excuse my outburst...) I really like this one that smells like cotton candy, not sure what it's called.

Death Note is a great anime. L scares the hell out of me lmao. He looks like he's had way too much caffeine all the time. I'm more of a Chobits girl myself.

Aaaanywho

I can't wait for Gwen's new fragrance. She's amazing! I've always been a really big fan of hers. Gwen and Gavin make the perfect couple and Kingston is so cute.

I'd never buy a perfume without smelling it first... it doesn't matter if it's from my favorite celb out there (not the case)... so for me the "pre order idea" is insane.

Flowerbomb by Viktor & Rolf is amazing! I was wearing it and my friend Joss goes "OH MY GOD, you smell so good...I just wanna hug you!" hahaha. You have to be able to handle strong floral scents though. It smells mostly like lavender but its really gorgeous. And the boys from Cartel told me I smelled good when I had on Fantasy by Britney Spears. I am a fan of cute perfume bottles. The bottle for this isnt that amazing but Paris Hilton's first perfume smelled really, really good. I'm a perfume-a-holic. Don't even get me started on all the Escada I own. Haha. :-)

I'm afraid what this will smell like. The mention of sweet peas isn't too appealing. I'll check it out at Sephora and if I like it, I'll pick it up!

Love, Erica

*the bottle for L looks pretty hot though. I love figuring out how to spray perfumes with wild bottle designs. Lol.
