I have to admit, it has taken me a good long while to try out L L.A.M.B. by Gwen Stefani. I tend to be a bit leery of celebrity-powered brands, but I do think Miss Gwen is pretty cool and stylish and so I finally pulled out the vial of perfume from my drawer of miracles (the 2nd drawer down in the bathroom). I did try it first on a tissue, and liked it enough to try it on my wrists. Mmmmmmm, I tell you, mmmmm. Although I knew I liked it, I couldn’t tell if it was a floral or more of a fruity scent. So I have decided that it is…both! Upon application I am first aware of muguet (lily of the valley) and sweet pea, as well as other floral notes, such as hyacinth, freesia, jasmine, orange blossom, and heliotrope. Slightly further in I detect fresh green notes and violet leaves. Finally, it’s the drydown that I have really fallen for: notes of pear, musk, frangipani, and peach. At first it is a bit on the sweet side, but after awhile the initial sweetness fades away and is tempered by the green and fruity notes. I was thinking that this perfume would be great for the spring and summer, but I am afraid I won’t be able to wait that long to buy it. The L L.A.M.B. rollerball goes for $25, which I think is a great price for such deliciousness. And I am now an even bigger fan of Gwen Stefani, who definitely knows a thing or two about cool.
