This is my signature, and I love that I'm fairly alone in that. It was my first real fragrance purchase in 2008 because I loved Gwen Stefani and that rasta colored bottle. It really spoke to me. I'm not the greatest at identifying notes but I get the pear blast right off the bat, which is very sharp and I'm assuming where all the "cleaning product" descriptions come from, that sharpness. That does not last though and it quickly settles down into a floral with a fruit undertone, which I'm assuming is the lily of the valley and freesia layered on pear/peach. It doesn't smell like cleaning product at all to me, but it does have a certain punch to it. It smells so calm and warm on me. Reads very "clean" but not soapy clean. I remember my rollerball in 2008 getting way more longevity and lasting at least 3-4 hours and projecting pretty well. Now though as with the other recent review, it DOESN'T LAST. It's basically all gone from my skin in an hour. Again, that's probably just how it's going to be from now on with a decade old discontinued perfume but that's not how it was in it's prime, and that's sad. I also purchased an old fat bottle of Maybe Baby to compare. They are extremely extremely similar! If you took the sharp ginger punch away from Maybe Baby they'd probably be indistinguishable. I can tell them apart though, and much prefer the mellow dry down of L. It shocks me so many people love Maybe Baby but dislike L, when L is so much fresher.

Stunning fragrance!!! I LOVE LOVE it! Lots of Jasmine, ( I get shades of Alien), a beautiful pear note, lily of the valley which is a soft and delicate little thing, and an orchestra of florals which quite frankly sing to me in perfect harmony. This perfume is what a floral is all about, it's not a sickly mass of candy floss and sugar pie sweetness which suffocates all who dare to inhale it, This is a REAL floral scent. I may not be any kind of expert, but I have smelled a few perfumes in my time, some cheap made for the masses and some very expensive classics, but this is very impressive for what it is. The bottle is divine, but the juice is a creamier and more jasmine based version of Maybe Baby but 100 times nicer, well blended and classier. This is grown up, elegant, addictive and utterly fabulous! I cannot believe that this is a celeb fragrance and that it is so ridiculously cheap! I believe that Gwen Stefani has worked hard with her chosen 'nose', to create this wonderful little beauty. Her efforts have paid off, this lady is obviously a keen perfumista who actually cares about the product that she's representing. Great silage, impressive longevity, this is a keeper for me and I think it shall remain in my collection for many years ahead.

I can't believe some of the negative reviews on here, it had me questioning if I should blind buy this or not! I caved in and I did! I actually bought TWO bottles. It's hard to say what hasn't been said already. It smells like Garnier, a peachy fruity shampoo with some musk. It's heady, but light and airy; the pear makes way and gives birth to fruity florals. My nose isn't that talented to distinguish one note from another, BUT I can detect LOTV and orange blossom 🧡. I'm so happy my skin chemistry agrees with this, I don't understand how people are getting rancid, plastic, chlorine, toilet fresheners, and stinky bathing suits. Just say it doesn't work with your skin chemistry, instead of bashing the perfume! You can tell she put in hard work, payed attention to every detail! It is unique, it reminds me of the fresh summer days in the 90s, even though this was made in the 2000's... it totally relaxes me...I feel like playing some Sara Mclachlan (Surfacing) or Smashing Pumpkins or even some Vitamin C, damn. It is a strong fragrance, it's 8:00 PM and I've had it on ALL DAY and afternoon. Do yourself a favor and BUY this, before it goes extinct. A good, new, fresh one is already worth 80$ dollars or more on ebay.

Gosh. What can I say. I have had this scent for years. Being a huge Gwen Stefani/No doubt fan technically Gwen's "LAMB" was one of my very first scents years ago. My bottle I originally had actually broke! I was half way through but got a new full bottle for Christmas a few years back. This scent doesn't tier or go rancid. I RARELY wear this sadly because it gives me the most god awful case of itchy nose and sinus headache/migraine :( shame because this scent is beautiful. I love it....till it kicks my ass and makes me sicker than a dog. I have to say 9 out of 10 times I do wear it I get sick. It's monumentally heavy and holds to fabric in clothing like a child clings to a mother. I have to try to wear this in smaller Dosages. I will attempt again when I don't mind possibly getting sick :/ I can't bear to part with the scent as the bottle is gorgeous and holds sentimental value. Just a shame I barely wear it. But when I do aside from being smothered people love it on me and always compliment it! Just never have the heart to admit it's killing me slowly and gagging me while I wear it haha :/ love u Gwen! Even through all the sickness this is still a 5 out of 5 fragrance.

This is gorgeous and I absolutely love it! Super fruity and floral. I love powerhouse perfumes and ones that last with great longevity. This lasts forever on my skin and days on my clothes. I find myself reaching for it all the time. Tons of peach and pear with gorgeous white florals. A terrific celebrity scent and I’m very surprised by it. I feel like it’s a must-have and I will always want a bottle of this. There are 2 drawbacks of the bottle itself though. I own 2 of these bottles and the nozzle keeps getting stuck on both. I think it’s because of the thick syrupy perfume. Also the cap is humongous and covers about 3/4 of the bottle. Its pretty, but chunky and heavy. One of my bottles is a tester that came without the cap, so I prefer to use that bottle. This doesn’t affect the lovely fragrance, but I wish I didn’t have those issues with the nozzle. Again a love for me. I feel like it’s hard to find a heady, fruity celebrity fragrance that last this long with so much sillage. It’s all so very sweet, but somehow keeps away from being too much or sickly.

This is my all-time favorite perfume. Lily of the valley AND pear? Yes, please! But I haven't set it as my signature, partly because I love to wear a variety of fragrances. But also because this is one I wear for myself. Once I wore it to a museum. As we were gathering to wait for a tour to begin, I noticed a small crowd of ladies ooh-ing and ahh-ing over the perfume one of them was wearing. It was La Vie Est Belle. I thought, that's a meh for me, but I'm happy if she's happy wearing it. Then the tour guide arrived and told us to bunch together. You know how sometimes you just know something's not gonna work? "Oh no. Please don't make me stand with the LVEB group." But he was unrelenting. "Closer!" We huddled up. The mood shifted instantly. I sensed the searching glances, the wrinkled noses, and finally the tut-tutting at the horror. I felt like I had been assigned the mission of infiltrating a ladies' Bible study and suddenly jumping up to sing a rump-shaking rendition of "Hollaback Girl." But damn, I smelled good. XD

I'm surprised by how many people DON'T like this perfume. I absolutely LOVE it. The first thing I think of when I smell it is how much I want to DRINK it...It smells crispy and juicy like honeysuckle and peach. GREAT summer scent. It's longevity is awesome. I mist my clothes with 2 sprays, disrobe and wear my clothes again another day...I still smell it and it remains bright and succulent. With all do respect...you people who hate it, are CRAZY!..(not really, I understand different strokes for different folks and I really don't mean any disprespect)...The scent does make me sneeze sometimes...but not in a bad way...Is that weird? Its so bright..that it gets up the nostril...causes a sneeze..but after it settles..its like honey peach light rose. I LOVE this scent. The lotion when rubbed throught the hair smells wonderful...If you want to smell like a juicy, bright, succulent fruit/flower...this is the scent for you.

zinga ding ding! this is sooo good. im gonna go out on a limb and say that this fragrance is the best summer scent. it’s exciting, unusual, flirty, fun, unexpected, unique, and my favorite celebrity fragrance. it is very fruity and floraly. it has fruit in the top and bottom and flowers in top, middle, and bottom. it’s a very full scent, yet light. it never bothers me, even in humid heat. i cant believe i found out about this when it came out. this is one of the few bottles of perfume i have repurchased and have 2 backups. i cant believe such a beautiful scent existed. gwen, please please bring this back. just as it was. this was a work of art. the lid of the bottle was sometimes hard to recap. but it’s not an issue. and bottle always leaked. not an issue. the scent is so good. really one of the best scents ever made. oh and guys love this. and it lasts and projects. the bottle is beautiful.

Lily of the valley, freesias, jasmine. This was a blind buy because all these reviews don't tell me anything, so mixed and hard to pin point; i think this a scent that varies greatly on different people. I, however, am so glad I got this! I was confident enough in my love for 90s Gwen that I would love this and boy was I right. Super floral on me, I get the peachy pears but it's not too strong, smells a bit tropical? No musk but it might settle down... and that frangipani heaven <3 reminds me of childhood in the tropics. Not something I'd wear everyday and one spray is more than enough - it's quite sickly and synthetic at first - but it does does does settle down into a white florals perfect for spring :) Pretty moderate radiance and longevity so A++ Gwen very happy with this cheap celeb scent - as most celeb scents turn me right off with their sickly sweet 12 year old strawberry scents.

This scent is so nostalgic for me! It was given to me in 2008 and immediately I did not like it. Something kept persuading me to sample it, and I’m glad I did! Aquatic-floral is the perfect description of this. This reminds me of stepping out of the shower, skin still wet, and just barely being able to smell your body wash on your wet skin. Exactly! A dewy, light floral skin scent. Not sweet as in candy or fruit- think Sweet Pea by Bath & Body Works. The pear is more watery than juicy. This is no sillage-monster, she’s quiet and self-assured. Like the cool girl that never had to try. This is an unusual fragrance for sure, but that’s what I like about it. I’m not a fan WHATSOEVER of aquatic scents, so combining that with florals sounds like a nightmare to me. However, L’s vibe is unique and somewhat addictive. Before you write it off as “bug spray”, try and figure her out.

I really enjoy this! Off first whiff, I was impressed in that it immediately stood out from the typical fruity/sweet celeb scent. Something a little quirkier and more hip, which I'd expect from GS. The fruit notes are deliciously edible, super sweet, but not sickeningly so. I'm getting a See by Chloe vibe from this! It must be the pear note, but it's giving me sweet apple. Pleasantly surprised by this one, it's youthful, quirky, and fun. And say what you want about the heavy clunky bottle, but I think it's dope and looks awesome on my perfume shelf. As far as sillage and longevity go, I'm further impressed. A co-worker could smell it on me and raved about it just by passing through my work space. I could see how this one might be overbearing with a heavy hand, a few pulse-point spritzes and you're good for the day. Very nicely done!

My sister bought this and wasn't sure of it so after testing it I bought it from her. Not something I would have considered using before bearing in mind the floral notes however it is truely devine. I have since bought several bottles and is one of my many fragances. It is a very clean and fresh scent but not at in the aquatic scense. Quite strong and certainly a confident scent if that thr right way to describe. A very unique fragrance that I had not come accross before. Its last for hours and hours and usually wear it of an evening and on some occasions during the day when I've wanted something a little more glam and heavier, compared to my usual gourmand perfumes. I have had so many compliments wearing this. Everytime my sister notices that I'm wearing it she'll immediately say 'Lamby' lol

I don't know. I was so excited to get L...first because I love Gwen Stefani and second because I love the bottle...but I was underwhelmed and sort of disappointed. From first spray until drydown all I can seem to smell is pear or fruit of some sort. I had high hopes that it would dry down into something less sweet but it never did, it actually started to smell caramel-like after an hour or so. In all honesty, this smells pretty similar to VS Pear Glace to me. I will wear it on days when I want something light and fruity but, to me, L is pretty one dimensional. *Edited to add: It has been a few months and I have fallen IN LOVE with this scent! I can't explain the 360 I have had with L but I think it is just delicious! :)

I remember buying this year's ago for my mom and how amazing it was. Most celebrity fragrances are something to be avoided, but Gwen Stefani really knocked it out of the park with this one. It's a very fresh smelling, floral fragrance. You get the fresh pear in the opening and the honeysuckle. You also get notes of rose and I also smell Lilly of the valley. It is a little strong when you spray it on for the first hour or so, but it mellows out a bit and has amazing longevity. The bottle is also really cool along with the packaging. The commercial really sums up the feeling of this fragrance. Overall, its a nice fragrance and an underrated one if you ask me.

This was my signature scent in ~2007-8 and I loved it so very much. I had no idea that what I was smelling was pear and now that I'm a bit older I don't think I would go for pear now. I remember I got a gift set of this with a small spray, a rollerball, and a lotion for very cheap at a discount store. That rollerball was my best friend. I found it lasted a lot longer than the spray and had a different, deeper earthy quality about it that took the zest out of the pear. It worked really well for my chemistry. I am almost tempted to search eBay for it again to relive the scent. Funny thing is, I met my best friend because we were both wearing this perfume!

L L.A.M.B. fits its description perfectly - bright, fresh and clean. This is a different take on a fresh floral fragrance but seems to be, as other reviewers have noted, a love it or hate it scent. I happen to love it for the summer! It works well as a pick me up in the warm weather. L positively bursts with freshness! The opening is pretty vivacious but in a short time settles down. The yellow flowers and pear give this a bright, sunny vibe, while retaining the cool freshness of the water hyacinth and lily of the valley. If you'd like to find a fresh, cool fragrance without heavy doses of citrus or aquatic notes, then this is worth a try!

This was my first "grown up" perfume. Once I realized sites like Fragantica, FragranceNet, etc existed, I was surprised to find out the notes in this fragrance. Not only do I normally not like them together, aside from a handful of exceptions I like neither pear nor peach in my perfumes. L is quite the exception. It's aquatic and fruity and I honestly don't know how someone couldn't like such a unique fragrance. My only complaint is the clunky bottle. It's pretty, but not convient for purses. Mine ended up leaking inside of my bag. Messy cleanup, but at least my purse smelled nice. Next time I'm getting a rollerball.

I have had this perfume for over 10 years, and it’s still one of my favorites! I haven’t ever smelled anything else quite like it. I’m wondering if the formula changed recently because I don’t get any trace of the fake/plastic scent others have mentioned. I actually bought Jo Malone Frangipani because I love the frangipani in this, and I discovered that I still like this one more. It’s floral yet very fresh, clean, and sweet with no trace of the common old lady/powdery floral notes. I will look for other fragrances with peach and frangipani because I love this one so much!

OH MY GOD of perfumes!! She ordained this one especially for me. I wish I could describe fragrances like most of you, by analyzing the different notes and such but honestly, I am not equipped with that knowledge. All I can say, is that this fragrance makes me feel comforted, happy and peaceful. It changes so much as the hours go by, but I love what it's doing and all the different places it is taking me. It started out a bit fruity and sweet but settled down into a more reserved scent. HMMM...I thought I'd never find a signature scent but this is it right here.

Y'all are too hard on this unique treasure. I feel like it completely captures who Gwen is, and that's what attracts me most to this. It's fresh, unique, and hard to describe...and to me, I smell a bit of an aerosol hair-spray scent, but in a very positive way. It makes me imagine a flawless, classic beauty queen. I mostly smell pear and water hyacinth, which are two notes that I adore. It's aquatic, fresh, and cleanly tropical without being sickly. It settles down to a beautiful, enveloping, long-lasting fragrance.
