G of The Sea

I had only tried two of the Harajuku Lovers line and as I was impressed by ‘Lil Angel’, while ‘Super G’ deeply disappointed me. Without being discouraged, I kept searching to see what would be Gwen’s next perfume I would be drawn to. And that was ‘G of the Sea’. Obviously, the package drew my attention but something was telling me that I was going to like it. I am glad I was right. To me, this perfume is a little more mature than the rest of the line, because of the woodsy notes I get in the end when the fragrance develops on my skin. I do not know why I get clementine note at the first spray, maybe the combination of apple and berries notes, but it’s so fresh and juicy that I crave for more. I also get a hint of jasmine note while the woodsy notes give that airy, breezy, vacationish feeling, reminding of summer. I don't have anything left in my bottle as I also agree it doesn’t last long at all, not even a minute. I kept spraying tons of it on myself, with no one complaining around me. I matched it with the Body shop’s ‘Dreams Unlimited’ perfume body lotion to try and get some longevity but with not many results. In conclusion, and to my opinion, this perfume carries you from sunny bright days to hot summer nights. I used it in chilling, cloudy days and rainy, windy nights to give me the feeling of sunshine and summery getaways. Unfortunately, this lasted only a month. :(

I’ve been eyeing this cute bottle for more than a year. Simply because i’m a mermaid lover and an addict perfumes. This isn’t available anywhere in my country. I know it’s discontinued, but usually i will always find discontinued or rare or vintage from my trusted online seller. Found several on eBay but they aren’t shipping to Indonesia. Gotta asked a trusted personal shopper to help me adopted this gorgeous mermaid bottle. Okay, now let’s talk about the juice inside. A refreshing aroma, i can smell fresh apples and white florals at the same time. It’s beautiful! Perfect for summer (as it’s always summer in my country) and whenever you want to feels young again. Don’t expect high on the longevity, it doesn’t last long on my skin. Within 30 minutes it’s gone. Good thing, the cute mermaid bottle could be a pretty decoration for your vanity. Still, no regret at all.

I absolutely love this perfume, and so sad that it was LE. It's my favorite out of the HL line, and i wanna save it forever! I bought this blindly because it was just so cute, and sounded like something I'd like, and so glad I bought the 3.4oz. It's very fresh and oceanic. For me, it's salty and woodsy from the bottle, with a crisp freshness, but once sprayed, it unleashes this very crisp, fresh, oceanic floral scent that just refreshes me. I will agree, and say it doesn't last long, about 4 hours maybe on me, which I have a hard time with perfumes lasting on myself, but I've gotten many compliments while wearing this! Definitely going to buy another 3.4 when I can!

As a huge Gwen/No Doubt fan it's no wonder I bought most of her perfumes...as a lover of all things ocean/beach related I just had to have this...there was no tester available but I spent the £20 and chanced it and I'm glad I did! The smell is pretty hard to describe but it conjures up images of driftwood and waves in my mind. It's a lot less sweet than the other HL perfumes I've tried and it's a lot more 'earthy' if that makes sense. Of the ones I've tried it's my favourite HL perfume so I am trying to conserve it by using my other ones up first!

I really love this fragrence. G of the sea. This perfume reminds me of a body mist I've ( Body Fantasies Clean Ocean Air. G of The Sea smells lighter, which is a good thing.), but it last a lot longer than that. Harajuku Lovers is one of my favorite perfume lines. I asked Sephora, about a month ago, and they gave me some disapointing news. Sephora told me that most likley they will not be carrying Harajuku Lovers in the near future. I really hope a new line comes out in the future hopefully in 2013, else I will be really sad.

I really love this one, it's one of my favorites out of the series. I just wish they came in bigger sizes. I really like the freshness, and aquaticness to this perfume. I really love how the red apple blends in with the water lilly I think they go great together. I really wish these didn't get discontinued, but there is some good news there is a new line of the Harajuku Lovers Pop Electric, being sold on HSN. Overall I give this perfume a 10/10.

LOVE IT !!! Gwen Stefani's Harajuku Lovers has some amazing smells but G seems to alway be my fave ! To me this smell is Fresh , and is like Shampoo without the toxic factor and has a very undersea vibe Its great I know even when the perfume has run out I will keep the bottle forever I love it !!! Go buy this perfume ! if u r thinking about buying it please do im sure you will love it to ;) 20 out of 10 :D

This scent smells reeeeally reeeeally good, I love it, it's so innocently crisp and fresh and classic. Just imagine swimming in a beautiful ocean with a breeze of wind with citrus and flowers in the air, and that's what you get. My only complaint is the lasting power.... It's hard to smell, so I got the 3.4 ounce so I could drown myself in it, and it worked, so, I think it's worth it.

i have all of the harajuku lovers an this g of the sea remindes me of a little hint of gost.i would recomend the fragrence to all of my freinds. the perfume is more of a summer day smell but is still amazing i wore it for a pary and i had a lot of coments about it love it !!

This is my favorite fragrance I have

G of the Sea is one of my favorite Harajuku Lovers fragrances. It's one of the more mature scents from the line, in my opinion! And let's not forget the ridiculously pretty and adorable bottle on this one. It takes me back to when I was really young and obsessed with mermaids. All girls had their "Mermaid Phase," right? ;) The best way I can describe this scent is a fresh flower being washed up on the beach. The floral notes definitely stand out, the fruity notes add a watery and juicy quality to it (instead of a sweet quality), and the base notes add some earthy and spicy qualities to it. For some reason, the base notes make me think of sand, which makes this a clean and beachy fragrance while still being a feminine and aquatic scent with the florals. It's very lovely! I was expecting another typical G coconut/tropical smoothie scent, but I'm glad that isn't the case here! As other people have stated, the lasting power isn't that great (unfortunately), but I find that it lasts a little bit longer when you layer it over a lotion. I find that it pairs up really well with Bath and Body Works' Dancing Waters.

Office friendly: 9/10 "headache" factor: 4/10 From looking at the bottle, I sort of expected more of an Escada summer scent super fruity scent; like that would be the predictable way to go with such a cutesy bottle. As misscareyann said, there's definitely a "salty" note in this. I haven't yet smelled a fragrance that captures salt & water before. It's not "salt water" in a literal sense... seaweed, algae, fish, etc. What I mean is that it's more like what you'd imagine that Disney's Little Mermaid water would smell like. Salty, watery, floral with a little fruit. Very nice and polite for summer. I like it and it will go into my summer rotation. Not very strong and does not last long, unfortunately.

I liked this scent, but I got more of a watery scent rather than wood. It is a little musky and not an overpowering fragrance. It doesn't last very long but it is still good. A friend of mine thought it had a deodorant smell to it. I didn't quite get that but a lot of the water splash fragrance tend to have that clean smell. I didn't get much floral but there is a faint hint. The bottle is too cute. I gave it to my niece and it is a cute gift for a young girl. The scent itself though I feel can go with all ages. I think the mermaid doll may make some people hesitant because it comes off as a "young" scent.

I am a big fan of G of The Sea. I have samples of the original five fragrances and really liked G, so when I saw G of the Sea for $10 at Ross (.33 fl oz) I figured I would give it a try. I find this to be quite a crisp, clean and fresh aquatic fragrance. I mainly smell apple and water lily. It is sweet, but not in the tropical/fruity way that the original G is. It's definitely a summer fragrance for me - it evokes a sort of beachy vibe. I find that it doesn't last long on my skin at all, but that is common with the Harajuku Lovers fragrances.

If a mermaid could have an underwater dessert this is what it would smell like. This perfume has ozonic overtones mixed with touches of crisp, refreshing fruit like apple, and green grapes along with a creamy drydown "reminiscent of coconut". Together these notes manage to evoke an aquatic gourmand fragrance! I thought it wouldn't last or project very much, but one humid evening as I was walking home it started to really come out on my damp skin, and I had sprayed it in the morning over eight hours before!

I agree with misscareyann's description of this scent. There is a salty quality to this scent when it hits the skin, not really evident from sniffing from the bottle. I get the reference to the sea in the name of this fragrance. It's like florals floating in the ocean. I'm not particularly drawn to marine type scents, because they generally end up too masculine on me. But this one is not bad because of the stronger floral note. I wish the fruits would come out more for me.

I found the tester for this one for under $18 first. Then I saw the figure bottle for $!0! Had to have her for display , while I use the other. It does smell much like Ed Hardy Love and Luck. I prefer this one, because of the woodsy base. The opening smells citrusy to me, and the overall feel is very happy and uplifting. It's a very pleasant summer scent. Longevity isn't great, and if I'd paid $40 for 30 ml that would be used up in a couple of days, I'd be irritated.

This is one of my favorites. It's light, fresh and an interesting aquatic. I do own "Tokyo" and "Love and luck" and I can tell you "love and luck" is almost exactly the same as "G of the Sea", but with a hint of patchouli. I love them both. "Tokyo" smells just a tiny bit like "G of the Sea" after it dries down, but it is not as close as "Love and Luck". I had the opportunity to compare the three. I love it.

The opening notes on this perfume start with a salty ocean smell mixed with water lilies. As it dries down, it reminds me of a very fancy bubble bath smell and makes me think of a beautiful ocean world. I like the smell a lot, it's very simple and fresh. Only thing is, the smell dies down very quickly. Lasting power, about 3-4 hours.

I love the smell it's sweet and yummy - but it only seems to last a few seconds. It wears off far too fast. Is it like this with everyone? It's a shame as I adore the initial kick of smell. My boyfriend really loves it too.
