Gwen Stefani will launch a new set of limited edition Harajuku Lovers fragrances next month under the name Harajuku Lovers Wicked Style:
The Harajuku Girls and G have made their way back to where it all started, the streets of Harajuku! One of their favorite places to see and be seen in Harajuku is Takeshita-Dori - a narrow pedestrian only street packed with young fashionable people. Takeshita-Dori is definitely the place to go if you are crazy about fashion…and the Harajuku Girls and G are certainly CRAZY about their fashion!
The girl’s [sic] are prowling the streets of Harajuku dressed in fashions that originated in Japan – Sweet Lolita, Gothic Lolita, Visual Kei, Kawaii and the Omotesandō Girl. Each girl has her own distinct “wicked style” that is expressed from her brightly colored “flocked” hair down to her super cute shoes.
Love (shown above far left) ~ A fruity floral by perfumer Maurice Roucel with notes of nectarine, mangosteen, pear, orange blossom, lotus, violet, osmanthus, blonde woods, musk, sandalwood, patchouli and praline. "This Lolita look is heavily influenced by Rococo styles. It consists primarily of a knee length skirt or dress, headdress, blouse, petticoat, knee high socks, and 'rocking horse' shoes."
Lil Angel (above second to left) ~ A sparkling floral by perfumer Celine Barel with notes of plum, champagne, bergamot, pomelo, lotus, Queen rose leaf, waterlilies, satin wood, amber and skin musks. "The gothic fashion has been adopted into this Lolita style through the use of darker make-up, clothing and themes. Dark lipstick and smoky eyes are typical styles."
Music (above second to right) ~ a woody floral by perfumer Adriana Medina with notes of apple, watery fruit, bergamot, jasmine, gardenia, fuschia, peony, cedar, iridescent musks and crystallized amber. "Music’s attire refers to a movement among Japanese musicians that is characterized by the use of make-up, elaborate hair styles, and flamboyant costumes."
Baby (above far right not shown) ~ A vanilla floral by perfumer Honorine Blanc with notes of white peach, apple, freesia, plumeria, orchid, jasmine, amber, musk and creamy sandalwood. "The style uses lots of layering in bright or pastel colors. The accessories include plastic furry toys and jewelry."
G (above center) ~ A fruity floral by perfumer Christelle Laprade with notes of apple, peach, pineapple, watermelon, butterfly bush, peony, raspberry, musk and water accord. "Driven to be a fashion forward individual, the Omotesandō girl scours the high end and cutting edge shops and boutiques of Omotesandō – otherwise known as 'Tokyo’s Champs-Elyséés.'"
The Harajuku Lovers Wicked Style fragrances will be available in 10 and 30 ml Eau de Toilette. (via press release)
Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! (happiness as these are so cute. I need these on my desk.)
Hope they don’t do those darned doll head solids again — I do not want to spend more $ on Harajuku Lovers.
I seem to recall something about you wouldn’t dare admit it if you did spend more $ on them, R.
You know none of us here would ever hold it against you if you did. 
Luckily I have not even been tempted. The solids were way more appealing to me than the bottles (visually, anyway).
Who cares what they smell like when the bottles are this cute?
I am a fan of G, though. I like it quite a bit.
The press release most correctly emphasizes the clothing as much as the scent….Coty knows what is selling these things.
Interesting. Did they tweak the formulas on these? I see the names of the scents are the same, but the perfumers are different from the originals.
Yes, they’re new fragrances.
Roucel on one, none the less…will have to test that one for sure.
That’s definitely a Love bottle on top of the Baby box. . .
The original Music was my fave, but I guess I’ll have to try them all again with the new formulations. [sarcasm]Oh darn.[/sarcasm]
Ha, so it is! I did not even notice, bad on me.
Good eye!
I am embarrassed by how excited I am about these. I didn’t even really care about the first set. (“Then why did you buy them as gifts for all your friends?” you say…) I don’t know what it is about this set. Maybe it’s the hair. Or just the overall affect of appealing to my inner twelve year-old.
This is cool. I’m glad they’re finally doing something different with the Harajuku Girls perfume. I mean usually they just change the look of their clothes (bathing suits in the summer, coats and stuff for the winter) but now they’re actually changing their look, and most importantly smell. I love G from the old, but can’t wait to sniff these new.
The summer editions (bathing suits) were new fragrances.
So cute and I’m a big admirer of Japanese Lolita fashion too.
This is going to cost me…
More 30ml bottles?! Yeah not happening for me.
Oh, I am going to Japan soon, I am so excited! But I will wear something very european over there. Chasse aux Paillons or maybe Sublime Balkiss. NO Harajuku Lovers for me…
I may have to finally succumb. I have been very good about resisting all of these no matter how cheap they got. Love and Baby excite me the most, although I liked the original G the best of the first batch..
G sounds more like a floral fruity. guess it’ll be the one i’ll be the most interested in haha
OMG I almost cried when I saw these — this is the first time I wanted any of these damn HL dolls, but Roucel and Japanese girl fashions. Must. Have
I was never really a fan of any of these, but my biggest issue is just the portrayal of Harajuku, haha. I’ve seen a lot worse than these bottles, but they still give off dated stereotypes and things like this create an image of “gothic lolita” and such in people’s heads that isn’t accurate, and it just bothers me! I get nitpicky with these things… don’t mind me haha.
Anyway, if I try one I’d want it to be Music though, none of the others seem too too interesting to me.
Good god there’s more of these?
Sephora has a mini rollerball set of the Wicked Styles for 15 buck! .06oz each but 15 still isn’t that bad. Must fight temptation! LOL! : )
