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.

My favourite perfume out of all the ones I've ever owned so far. So fresh and not overly sweet, floral but not over the top or synthetic smelling - my only disappointment is it's not very strong. If you buy a bottle be a bit careful because the logo on the top of the sprayer rubbed off on my last 3 bottles because the lid leaked a bit and I then got a bit of leaked perfume on my fingers and when I sprayed it the logo rubbed away and stuck to my fingers! Not having that problem so far with my latest bottle though :)

I ended up blind buying this one. I found two pre owned bottles for a song. What a score! This is very reminiscent of sun lotion or the beach. It's very uplifting but far more interesting then say Bobbi Brown Beach. This one even has a touch of spice initially. I can't speak for longevity but it was an instant love. I understand this one has been discontinued. I can see why some would be heartbroken to lose it. It's nice, unique and pretty without being boring or common. She's a keeper!!!

I love this. I get a strong pear note at first, even though its not listed as a note. There's a soft hint of peach, then a beautiful lily of the valley with hyacinth and orange blossom, and it dries down to a clean musk. It doesn't ever get too sweet, a fresh 'greeness' stays to the end. It does remind me of Annick Goutal's Petite Cherie, and even more of Lolita Lempicka 's L'eau Jolie, but the price is a LOT less! It has very good longevity and sillage, and the bottle is pretty too.

This is a very sticky peach smell. It literally sticks to you and just oozes. It is a sour kind of peach. Imagine Tommy Hilfiger Dreaming multiplied by a 1000 times. It's straight up peach. If you like that you will love it. If you are not keen on peach then avoid this one like the plague because it is strong. I found it lasted well. I finished the bottle but didn't get it again. When I wore it my husband thought it smelled like beer so that wasn't very flattering to say the least.

I always wanted to buy this perfume for the bottle and love gwen but with so many negative comments here I decided to test the shower gel first so do not regret it, and the smell of the shower gel is amazing, so I decided to buy the fragrance, and beautiful fragrance! fresh, fruity, floral, a delicious mix of everything, one of my favorite perfumes! in my skin lasts well and has good projection , the smell is very strong sweet and unique, slightly aquatic, love love love

I wanted this perfume for a long time before I was given it for Christmas a few years ago. I wanted it because I heard good reviews about it and I loved the bottle. The bottle is so unique and stylish!! It's definitely a perfume that you only need one squirt of. At first it's very strong and overpowering but after a bit, it calms down and smells delicious. It lasts forever and it gives me a summer, fresh, feel. Very much like Gwen's ad campaign for it!

After the top notes quickly dissipate, I’m left with a very lily of the valley dominant fragrance. That’s why I bought it, not for any of the other many notes. It’s so fresh and “girly” that it makes me smile and remember hiding in the shade of my mother’s big bed of lilies of the valley. For a celebrity fragrance, it’s quite nostalgic. It’s sweet, but not sickening. Fresh, but romantic and lasts. It’s really quite lovely.

I just got a Little Dot collectors set from Avon that includes violet, rose, and hyacinth. I don't believe I've smelled JUST hyacinth before. That is THE strongest note I smell with L. I suppose that if you tried each perfume at the same time, you'd notice a difference BUT!...just quickly from a foot away, no one could tell the difference I think. This is without a doubt, THE grandest perfume ever for a hyacinth lover!

My mother gave me a bottle of this for Christmas my freshman year of high school. I was 14 years old. I loved it then and I love it now, ten years later! I've had the same bottle for ten years, and it has not turned - it smells the same as I did the day I got it. Its a nicely balanced fruity floral. Its not too fruity not too floral, but definitely leans more fruity. Its juicy, fresh, and almost aquatic in a way.

this perfume is the perfect pear/floral scent. the longevity and sillage are amazing, i spritz once on my wrists, chest and behind my neck and this stays strong throughout the whole day its a gorgeous floral perfume that i dont find to be mature at all. the only downside for me personally is that sometimes it can trigger my migraines. most days it's completely fine but others its just too strong for my head. 8/10

I was on a search to find my signature fragrance. It took me years, until I smelled this perfume. I simply love it. I wear it and constantly get good comments on how it smells. Even when I think the scent has left, it is still there. It can be worn in cold and warm weather. It is not to heavy, and the scent is so crisp, and clean. I just love it. Gwen did her thing on this one.

This and Benefit's Maybe Baby are nearly identical upon application. Maybe Baby stays more fruity with apricot shining throughout. L becomes a bit more floral and musky/peachy/spicy in the drydown. L has impressive longevity on clothing more so than my skin. I'm glad I was still able to find a full bottle of L for a reasonable price on ebay as BMB is scarce and way overpriced.

Okay I love Gwen but this is too strong.The good its on sale every where the lotion and shower gel are good quality strongly scented.The bottle is unque the box is awesome.The bad it smells too strong doesn't soften up on the skin gives me a headache.I wish I loved it but I find it hard to wear.Which is a shame since I have two huge bottles of it.

Absolutely stunning scent! I am so sad this has been discontinued. It’s so different to anything else. Beautiful pick-me-up floral. A lingering scent leaving you wanting more. Difficult to describe - you need to try it - floral, delicious juicy pear; yet sophisticated. Gorgeous bottle (apart from the sticky pump spray as mentioned below)

This is one of my favorite Summer fragrances! Its amazing! Fresh, clean and gorgeous. Also I find it elegant. Its so underrated. I bought this back in 2007 and now own two bottles because its discontinued and I don't want to live without it. I own over 200 fragrances and its one of a kind. Firmenich & Gwen Stefani made a memorable gem.

I love love love this perfume! I'm surprised so many people dislike it. I always get compliments on it. I think it must wear differently on certain people. Very strong rose and pear notes. It's green, fresh, floral, a little aquatic. I will probably buy another bottle but am looking for a good dupe since it's discontinued

I owned a FB ill say I love how creative Gwen was with this earthy toned ombre glass bottle& Gold cap ...i don't like how the sprayer on this design gets stuck after spraying..the scent is a very woodsy,earthy,fruity~fresh warm& male body wash kind of scent ...but I like it....idk why...it lasts a good 8hrs☆

I really like this. It's sweet but not overly so and lasts all day, starting out sweeter and getting more mellow. The bottle is nothing special, (though I love the turquoise & gold lotion bottle scheme). Not a typical celebrity scent; Stefani holds her own in the design world as well.

one of, if not the most, nostalgic scents for me. to me, this surpasses any attempts at describing how sweet and floral this smells, but it's simply a scent that will always make me smile. i'm glad i've had a stash for almost 20 years going now, it's a shame this was discontinued.

I cannot believe L. gets negative reviews! It's so fresh, crisp and elegant. It really makes me happy whenever I smell it and it's natural and never overbearing. The ad with the pool makes sense to me because it's just like a refreshing dip in the water on a summery day.

with this perfume on my skin, it is adorable and smell like freesia and hints of pear but watery ... I dont know why it has so many bad reviews. The chemistry of the skin has a lot to do with how the perfume will be reflected. I love this perfume, super cool!

It is very subtle, I found it to be a very unisex scent that is clean, refreshing and classy. I don't know why there are so many dislikes but I use the solid form so that may play a role in this as some perfumes are better in solid form and vice versa.

Love this perfume.. I've had a bottle for years and barely use it because I don't think it's being made anymore. Zesty fruit is the best I can describe. I love this and harajuku lovers love and both discontinued. Can't find love anywhere online.

Truely bright and clean.Easy to wear and very pleasant.Smells like body lotion-nice one.Lilly-of-the valley is the most dominating note at first,pear is next and then the rest of the notes go on just mixed all together.Really plesant smell.

smells like a peach rum drink, mmmm. then sexy musky fruity goodness. btw, it says that those who like this one also like all those lil britney sugar garbage ones. this is not like those at all.

This perfume is something I LOVE to wear, because it stays with you for such a long time. I can actually smell it on myself. I get so many compliments on this. This is one of my 5 favorites.

My favorite! The number one in my top five! I wear it today. So Great! It's been long since I had not found one that made me as well. It's really me this fragrance. I love it! Mmmmmmm.

If I could only bring one perfume back from being discontinued, it would be this perfume every time. It is so beautiful and gutted it's not sold anymore. :(

Wow Beautiful! Very unique n I'm in love!! This may become my signature!! Signature stature anyway! Funny cuz I'm not even fond of pear n so there u go!

Leila Lou by Rosie Jane is an 85% dupe for this perfume. Not as good as this was, but for anyone really missing it, it is worth getting a small bottle!
