Harajuku Lovers by Gwen Stefani: Perfume Review / Fragrance Review

[harajukuloversbaby11]

are you supposed to be funny..? 

[Sydbug351975]

you have very honest thing to say.you say what ever you think about it and i appreciate it!

[KatiePuckrikSmells]

@Sydbug351975 I tell it like I smell it.

[2034HeyLeeHye6]

Ugh. I personally love these scents... But whatever. I am curious though- which one to you is most bearable? Music is personally the best.

[KatiePuckrikSmells]

@2034HeyLeeHye6 Out of the original HLs, once Baby settles on the skin, that one works the best for me. Out of the Sunshine Cuties, I love Li'l Angel.

[ibunny123120]

Ka-wee?

[Sammiisamazing123]

Your very honest with your opinions on things!! I like the way you described g and lil angel. Both very true segments!! Thanks a bunch!!

[KatiePuckrikSmells]

@Sammiisamazing123 You are welcome a bunch!

[julialharris]

that was rude to say about lttle angel.FROM:Maddilynn Warren. From keller,TX.

[themagicalfox6]

XD LOL love your reviews, I just live for your honest comments on perfumes, I dont have the other bottles but I do have Love and I have to say, your right lol she has a very indecisive smell that no one can figure out. she did get me alot of compliments though from older ladies(nope, not tweens) surprisingly

[KatiePuckrikSmells]

@themagicalfox6 Thanks for your feedback! Much appreciated.

[guivenditti]

hahahaha i love your videos!!! and i love your sense of humor!!! you're the best!!! ;)

[FluffySparkles09]

@KatiePuckrikSmells

Oh, which harajuku doll is your favorite?

[FluffySparkles09]

what happened to her left eyebrow???

[KatiePuckrikSmells]

@FluffySparkles09 It's my right eyebrow - it's a scar from running into a rosebush when I was 3.

[adelainne21]

I have 3 harajuku doll fragrance but I can't find it in here mine is red yellow and purple or lil angel , g and love

[WeLoveDuckiies]

Shut up people , even Gwen Stefani pronounced Harajuku like that in an interview.

Im sure its not the right way but thats the way they say it.

[harajuku131]

OMG she pronounce all those japanese word wrong she kill my language if i see her in japan i will definitely slap her and say lady say harajuku remember american ppl the r in japanese pronounce as a L remember and how u say cute is KA WAI E kawaii ok well hajimimashitte ja ne

[KatiePuckrikSmells]

@harajuku131 Thanks for the pronunciation tutorial. I could've done without the slap...;-)

[thepuppyandpanda]

@harajuku131 I can see how that would be annoying. When I first heard that word, I probably pronounced it wrong too. Just remeber that Japanese can be a hard language to learn for some American people.

[KatiePuckrikSmells]

@thepuppyandpanda Not to mention I "learned" my pronunciation from the cartoon TV commercial for Harajuku Lovers...and they mispronounced it! That'll teach me to take instruction from a cartoon character!

[thepuppyandpanda]

@KatiePuckrikSmells haha i think that i did too. : )

[KatiePuckrikSmells]

@thepuppyandpanda You just can't trust cartoons like you used to...;-)

[butchyisok]

@harajuku131 Your broken English is offensive , so if I see you I'm putting my boot up your arse, you tacky twat.

[MsBanditCat]

Your eyebrows! Eww

[KatiePuckrikSmells]

@MsBanditCat Interesting response. I have a scar on my eyebrow from a childhood accident.

[butchyisok]

@MsBanditCat How rude.

[tinyheartbreakx]

omg she tried to say kawaii ... no

[AquarianWidow]

*super kawaii. said CO waee

[muts85]

G smells a bit like pinacolada to me :-p

[Riboflavine12]

Even though I enjoy your Harajuku Lovers reviews and you seem to know what you're talking about, I keep getting hints of...well let's just say you put the 'scent' in condescending.

[KatiePuckrikSmells]

@Riboflavine12 Haha!

[daisiesjayne]

Katie, I absolutely *love* your reviews...! :D You are fun, gorgeous, and delightfully clever, and I adore how you take no prisoners with your stylish wit and your obvious passion for perfume and fragrance... I'm a total fumehead myself, and watching your channel has really given me a chance to indulge and also learn about different perfumes I haven't tried yet... All in all... Just amazing! Thanks, K...! :)

[maximumridelover1231]

im confused was this a positive review or a negative one?

[KatiePuckrikSmells]

@maximumridelover1231 Both. There are good points and bad points to all the fragrances.

[BeanJelly2009]

i have baby! its awesome

[Lumitikal]

There is a REAL pear fragrance on Music ?

[KatiePuckrikSmells]

@Lumitikal Nah, the magic in most perfumes comes from the lab, not Mother Nature.

[ueno501]

super KAWAII, not super koowee =_=*

[janeeyre1975]

Hi Katie! Your videos are awesome. You are so funny and sweet. I just bought G for my sister's birthday. I hope she likes it. I'm mainly a floral person, but lately gourmands have been my thing. I just bought CSP vanille abricot and love it. Proud to be a fumehead. :)

[KatiePuckrikSmells]

@janeeyre1975 Fumehead Pride!

[tuxgrrl]

Omg!! I had a dream that Harujuku Lovers made a new line of notebooks,nail polishes,lip balms, and folders.

[KatiePuckrikSmells]

@tuxgrrl Gwen's had the same dream, I bet!

[KatieChrista3]

Katie is funny and right down to the point I love her~!

Your fan in Texas Katie~! Yes my name is Katie too! :)

[KatiePuckrikSmells]

@KatieChrista3 Hi Katie! Please to meet you.

[GreenApplesAlli]

lol...she pronounced Harajuku and kawaii wrong

[LisaVetsa]

okay well sory about that i didnt know what you were really talking about i thought you were trashing her but i was so relived when you wrote back saying you like baby too ! sorry katie just a miss under standing

[LisaVetsa]

what i ment was il admitt she does take a while to calm down!!!!!!!!!

[LisaVetsa]

why did you total trash baby!?iin fact you trashed all them accept g what up with that !

[LisaVetsa]

why did you total trash baby!?i like the smell of her !

[KatiePuckrikSmells]

@LisaVetsa Truth be told, I like Baby too, but it just takes so long for her to settle down and smell good.

[LisaVetsa]

@KatiePuckrikSmells well ya il admitt it

[mrsfreak2you]

@KatiePuckrikSmells all babies take a long time to settle down

[KatiePuckrikSmells]

@mrsfreak2you haha!

[luvbeautyful]

Hi I'm really sorry to bother you again, but do you know if the Harajuku Lovers Wicked perfume have completely different scents than the original

[KatiePuckrikSmells]

@luvbeautyful No probs - yes, the Wicked Style HLs are completely different scents to the original and to the Sunshine Cuties.

[mrsfreak2you]

i love baby... it smells like baby powder and flowers to me

[KatiePuckrikSmells]

@mrsfreak2you Me too.

[luvbeautyful]

Ohhh okay. I was wondering because I saw the the snow bunnies and they were cute, but I wasn't considering to buy them if they smelled like the original.

[TheBeautyWithin1987]

@luvbeautyful They are the same scent they just dressed them up in winter coats, hence snow

[luvbeautyful]

So do the snow bunnies and the original, smell exactly the same?? And do you have a video on reviews of the snow bunnies? and if you do, what is it called? Thanks ;)

[KatiePuckrikSmells]

@luvbeautyful The Snow Bunnies series are the same scents as the originals.

[ErgoProxy2295]

ure one of those trollin ppl right ? i own all the perfumes and they are super good ... and @teannaaaa yes i do think she dose >>

comoon lady be nice ...:(

[musiclovernajaa]

its not kaweee! its kaa waaiii!

[KatiePuckrikSmells]

@musiclovernajaa Thank you and the 199 other viewers for your linguistic assistance. I'm schooled good'n'proper now.

[GlitzernGloss]

Hi, do you have a review on the Incanto series by Salvatore Ferragamo? If you dont have yet, please make one. Please please please :D

[KatiePuckrikSmells]

@GlitzernGloss ha-ha! I shall endeavor to do so.

[RoyalGreenFrog]

haha mental lady. I like you.

[Teannaaaa]

HAHA! Oh gosh. Sounds like you were making fun of them.

[LittleGreenPearl]

Which one of the five do you like the best?

[KatiePuckrikSmells]

@LittleGreenPearl If pushed, I'd say Baby. But I like Lil' Angel from the Sunshine Cuties collection the best.

[vintagyst]

If you like youtube makeup gurus, you definitely have to check out Pixiwoo, they're like the queens of makeup, you're gonna love them (if you don't already do so)!

[KatiePuckrikSmells]

@vintagyst I love the Pixiwoo sisters too!

[joejonas113]

Haha you're sense of humor is really interesting but it makes me laugh :)

[TheKawaiiQueen]

its kAwAii not kuwi -_- damit

[DahliaDoll123]

hahahaha, all these idiots try to rip on you and you give them no satisfaction. i love your videos katie(:

[KatiePuckrikSmells]

@DahliaDoll123 Thank you very much!

[Franniiv3]

haha I Love You! I really enjoy your videos, I think you're great to watch and really funny=) I'm so glad that u don't listen to the Haters! ...And come back at them with your witty syle, which soon shuts them up=) You Rock! XD Lv x.

[KatiePuckrikSmells]

@Franniiv3 'Ppreciate it, thanks!

[KatiePuckrikSmells]

@harajukulover911 What's up with my eyebrow is that there's a scar from a childhood accident. Once you start looking for it, you'll notice that a lot of people have scars on their eyebrows.

[khadiijahJONAS]

this video is such a fail. seriously, stop making videos.

[KatiePuckrikSmells]

@khadiijahJONAS I will if you will. Oh wait -- you don't make videos!

[khadiijahJONAS]

@KatiePuckrikSmells thanks tips... i know i dont have any videos you monkey. if i did have videos, it would be way better then this crap.

[KatiePuckrikSmells]

@khadiijahJONAS Keep up with the positive thinking!

[dedsinger123]

kawiii? seriously KAWAI

[KatiePuckrikSmells]

@dedsinger123 Seriously I know! You must be the 89th person to correct me. But I do appreciate your help.

[amandasamonsterhaha]

which of these is YOUR favorite? do you wear it on a regular basis?

[KatiePuckrikSmells]

@amandasamonsterhaha Even though I was hard on Baby, that's the one I'd wear if I had to. But I REALLY like Lil' Angel in the Sunshine Cuties collection.

[00sven00sven00]

isnt panacea pronounced pan ashia or something? sorry if im wrong. maybe im thinking of a different word.

[KatiePuckrikSmells]

@00sven00sven00 You're thinking of something different, I guess!

[Qweenjessie]

kawii xD

harajuku perfume is like, yummy LOL o u o

totally kawaii, from japan ^ u ^

[krazy987654]

i gottqa disagree ! Baby smell amazing ! And it turns to baby powder in literally a minute. Mine smells like half baby powder from the beggining and after a minute it is Full Baby powdery goodness :D today i got Lil' angel , Music & Baby. Yeah .. i'm late :D i went to 2 perfumanias in search of them the first on had lil angel and baby. and the second one only had lil angel baby and music ! AND I GOT THE LAST MUSIC XDD 

[KatiePuckrikSmells]

@krazy987654 Glad you scored! Yeah, Baby takes a good long while to rev up on me.

[darksunnygirl]

This was hillarious! Loved this video!

[Musicnote2244]

Go watch bbubbly975 she's a makeup guru and she new. Go sub she's amazing

[KatiePuckrikSmells]

@Musicnote2244 I LOVE HER! Thank you so much for commanding me to do this. I looked at her vids and she's adorable: articulate, sparky, smart. I subbed.

[xsafiax98x]

its not kaweee its ka-wa-ee

[KatiePuckrikSmells]

@xsafiax98x Believe me, I know! I posted this a year ago and have since received plenty of foreign language tutoring on this matter ;-)

[xsafiax98x]

@KatiePuckrikSmells lol

[mexemma]

@xsafiax98x THANK GOD SOME ONE UNDERSTANDS ME!!! p.s its spelled Kawaii XD

[xsafiax98x]

@mexemma lol i know its just i wanted to tell her how to pronounce it properly

[mexemma]

@xsafiax98x lol and she also sai dthe harajuku wrong to. if u wanna say it the right way its pronounced "Haro-shuku." i would know my cousin works in a harahuku ourfume catolog as a seller. people are saying it "HAIRA-JEWKEW' ...I dislike people hisss

[KatiePuckrikSmells]

@mexemma A quick scroll through these comments will reveal how much smarter everyone is than I am on pronouncing Japanese words. But I've learned my lesson now, and how!

[mexemma]

@KatiePuckrikSmells Ok. Sorry I blew up. I just dislike it when people say things wrong ways. Lol. And I'm so happy that now i know what "Love" Smells like. I was always wondering. But how did you find out?? Where is it on the box? o.o

[KatiePuckrikSmells]

@mexemma Websites like Sephora will list notes of perfumes, though I use them only as a rough guide and not as gospel. What they want you to smell and what you actually smell can be two completely different things.

[OkitaMibuWolf]

I completely agree with the way you put the smell into words~ though, You made me laugh with the attempt of pronouncing Kawaii and I don't think you pronounced Harajuju quite correctly either

I'll subscribe though~ :D

[KatiePuckrikSmells]

@OkitaMibuWolf Yep, I had plenty of helpful corrections on my pronunciation, so I'm well-schooled now. I actually learned the wrong pronunciation from the Harajuku Lovers commercial!

[anagymnasto8]

dude what'sz up with your right eyebrow ; it'sz got a space lol . buttt i love how you broke down these scents . :]

[KatiePuckrikSmells]

@anagymnasto8 Dude it's a scar on my right eyebrow.

Glad you're digging the vids.

[isabelplace]

i have lit' angel, baby, and music but i just got music and i love all of them! and plus u if u want to see more go on my channel isabelplace. and cool! and great job!

[apeelingaustin]

HA! This was hi-larious. I have Love and you are totally right, it does smell like indecisive flowers (which may be why I like it?!). Anyway, you earned yourself a sub missy!

[KatiePuckrikSmells]

@apeelingaustin Well thank YOU, missy! I josh about the Harajuku Lovers, but my favorites are Baby and Love.

[1987Flaka]

tHIS IS THE MOST ANNOYING REVIEW, I HAVE EVER SEEN. wHY ARE YOU ACTING ALL STRANGE?

[KatiePuckrikSmells]

@1987Flaka Uh-oh, I wish I were acting. I think I'm stuck like this!

[lush4makeup]

I just purchased G, and I really like it!! It's a great tropical summer scent!!..it reminds me of California and the beach <3...I bought the little doll in 10ml and keep it in my purse..my only complaint is that it cost 30 bucks and for 10ml I think that's a little on the pricey side...

[KatiePuckrikSmells]

@lush4makeup Yeah, G is very beachy, isn't it? And I think with these, you're paying more for the cute packaging than the actual scent.

[gangurogeisha]

I can understand someone giving an honest review of something they didn't really like. But to make openly derisive comments about something that didn't do anything but sit there and give off a unique scent is just plain wrong.

[KatiePuckrikSmells]

@gangurogeisha It's absolutely a-ok if you disagree with my experience of Harajuku Lovers - we all have different takes on a perfume. But my reviews are 100% honest - I tell it like I smell it.

[Luhver25]

Your review on Baby was so funny!

[KatiePuckrikSmells]

@Luhver25 Glad you're tickled!

[LittleMrsMiddleton]

where did you get that dope ass song girlfriend?

[KatiePuckrikSmells]

@LittleMrsMiddleton It's called "Perfume", and it's by Sparks from their "Hello Young Lovers" CD

[DaylightXAngel]

i have music and i loooooove it its soooooooo nice!!!!!

[HLFragrances]

So happy you love Harajuku Lovers! Please subscribe to me for the latest news on the adorable original fragrances, or the new sunshine cuties!

Check out my new review on the harajuku lovers sunshine cuties!

Love and cuteness! - HL Fragrances

[Sayhi2Hebe]

i dont mean to offend you in any way, but the pronounciation of kawaii is 'ka-wiy-ee', rather than 'ka-weeeeeeeee'

[KatiePuckrikSmells]

@Sayhi2Hebe Thanks for letting me know so nicely. You missed the batch of messages from angry pretend-Japanese people yelling at me for my mistake. I appreciate your graciousness.

[tyeelkins]

Thanx for the tip kattie! looks like Im goin on a scavenger hunt! Oh by the way! Hope you had a happy easter! warm regards ~Tye~

[tyeelkins]

Only thing I dont like about them is they are too over priced and too small! I work at dillards and get a discount and I broke down and bought G in the 30 Mle for 30 dollers but still I want like a 50 mle at least

[KatiePuckrikSmells]

@tyeelkins They do give you a teeny amount. Periodically, I do see some good sales on the HLs at places like Walmart and Sephora.

[tyeelkins]

Loved them all except baby. Reminds me of that cheap loves baby soft perfume. G is my favorite! Its so tropical, sunny and yummy!

[tessa696]

Maybe it's just me, but after I tried "G" on in the store I smelled like banana flavored Now & Laters all day. :)

[KatiePuckrikSmells]

@tessa696 I think you've just uncovered the missing ingredient in "G"!

[SweetStrawberryxx]

Love is my favourite!

[MsAnnaKK]

I have G and Love..i am getting Music for my bday...G is the BEST =D

[realfam1969]

i have em all except for angel.(frown). i have the winter ones.same smell diff clothes. i love them they look so adorable on my dresser.i like G baby and love is my fave. but lil angel...yuck.makes me sick.thats rare w me too,but its too sweet and stays in my throat,awful.

[KatiePuckrikSmells]

@realfam1969 Sounds like you just need to look and don't touch - or smell - Li'l Angel.

[snm133]

My 11 year old brother got me Music AND Baby for my birthday. I was soo surprised and I love them :) <3

[KatiePuckrikSmells]

Right on, bro!

[BAMFJane]

its ka-wa-ee

[Punkyfish0011]

i can't tell if this is a piss take or not

[KatiePuckrikSmells]

No it's not - it's a real review of these fragrances, but I just like to have a little fun with it!

[adeleDAVIDS]

lmaaao you are so hilarious.

[KatiePuckrikSmells]

Well, thank you!

[IRONSTOVE]

Your videos are very witty and funny. I don't care about perfume nor do I have any interest in any other type of women's products, but your video was able to keep me interested and amused throughout the entirety. Good work!

[KatiePuckrikSmells]

That's so great to hear - thank you kindly, Ironstove!

[KiwiNoBaka]

i got one for christmas i got 'music' from thesnow bunnies collection

[KatiePuckrikSmells]

Score!

[galacticrainbow]

I got Love because it looked sooo cute. And I love everything Japanese. It smells fantastic! I think I'll be collecting all of them really soon! :)

[KatiePuckrikSmells]

And now the cute summer bikini Harajuku Lovers versions are coming out!

[emz0ne]

i didn't really like the scents but i have most of them because they are so cute!

[JaneMcdonald01fan1]

I love The HaraJuku Lovers perfumes and dolls so much I love them forever and I always will. I got Love, G And Baby I am getting Music next week and Lil Angel in March I can't wait I am getting the set and maybe for my birthday or for christmas I may be getting The HaraJuku Lovers perfume summer and winter collection. When I bought Baby I got a HaraJuku Lovers pencil case with 8 HaraJuku Lovers pencills which rocks. I hope Gwen Stefani does more perfumes. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx­xxxxxxxx

[KatiePuckrikSmells]

That's quite a collection! You could start a little Harajuku Lovers village...

[KatiePuckrikSmells]

KK - congratulations - you are officially the first person to use "weeaboo" in this comments section! Let the Harajuku Lovers backlash begin - ha-ha!

While you could make a case that Gwen S is a weeaboo, I'd have to say that the actual HL fragrances are entirely western in their composition, what with the candy fruitiness. The fruity-floral genre doesn't go over so well in the Asian market, where quieter, more subtle scents are preferred.

[mykajames91]

Its super kawaii not super kawiie lolz

[KatiePuckrikSmells]

Believe me, 9 months on from making this vid, I know that by now! (That's why I put the annotation in the vid.) My excuse is that I pronounce it the way the animated Baby does in the Harajuku Lovers commercial. Ridiculous, I know.

[JustinBieberFan10166]

oh and the Lil'Angel one i got was just the original one but i luv it!it smells soo good!

[JustinBieberFan10166]

why did you give them away?

[KatiePuckrikSmells]

Haha - I knew you were going to ask me that - I should've been clearer - I meant that I did a Harajuku Lovers giveaway on this channel! I had all five dolls plus a dollhead solid perfume set that I gave away to my viewers. Am thinking I should do another giveaway sometime....

[JustinBieberFan10166]

and thanks so much for making this you are so funny i really enjoyed watching this! do you own eney of the Harajuku Lovers perfumes?

[KatiePuckrikSmells]

Oh, I'm so glad you liked it - I do like to clown around with perfume and have fun with it.

I don't have any of the HL line - though it was tempting to keep the ones I gave away last year - all those little dollies are so cutey-cute.

[JustinBieberFan10166]

just went to wal-mart and i got Lil'Angel!she smells sooo good!!and i like her look too!

[KatiePuckrikSmells]

Is it the original or the Snow Bunnies version?

[JustinBieberFan10166]

I have Love and she smells so great!!i Luv Harajuku Lovers Fragrance!i might get another one maybe music or baby :)

[rhadya46]

I know! Love is amazing. I always get compliments about it.

[KatiePuckrikSmells]

It's good to know that Love delivers!

[CaitlynAndAnnaShow]

i have lil angel, G, and love

[TheLeahLush]

you make me laugh xD haha

[KatiePuckrikSmells]

Thanks, The LL!

[thesporeshow]

can u do one with black star?

[lalachickaracoocoo]

Oh! PS: I have the limited edition winter ones :) they are sooooo cute!

[KatiePuckrikSmells]

I know, right?

[lalachickaracoocoo]

I have Music and G. I'd I had to pick the one I like more I would say G because it is stronger and lasts alot longer. I'm glad I bough the small bottle if Music. Which one do you like the most Katie?

[KatiePuckrikSmells]

I started off liking Love the best, but now I think I prefer Baby.

[lalachickaracoocoo]

I have Music and G.

[Jimendrix]

There is one reason as to why i will never purchase these perfumes: too much plastic and too little perfume.

[ShannonShofer]

Is this a joke....?

[VictoriaSecret0415]

I like how your so honest! Which is good, I have G and LOVE... G smells line Pina colda to me lol! And Love... well love smells like my granma, but a good smell ya no? like home.

[KatiePuckrikSmells]

Thanks, VS! I tell it like I smell it.

I like your descriptions. It's a good example of how we like different perfumes for all different kinds of reasons.

[PixieSkullGlitter]

I thought the same thing about these perfumes! I didn't like any of these, honestly, but I though Music was the most wearable. The others were kinda obnoxious.

[KatiePuckrikSmells]

I think most of the effort went into the bottles, which are absolutely irresistible!
