Today I will be reviewing Harajuku Lovers Wicked Style Love.
Availability: This scent has been discontinued.
Would I buy this again?: Yes! I purchased the full-sized doll after trying a sample :3
Notes: This one is a lot sweeter than the original Love - which I'll review next week :). I just adore this version of Love's outfit and hair! She looks super cute!

To quote from harajukulovers.com, here are the fragrance notes:
Top: Nectarine, Mangosteen, Juicy Pear
Mid: Orange Flower, Lotus, Violet, Osmanthus
Base: Blonde woods, Sandalwood, Hint of Patchouli, Dash of Praline
How different is a hint from a dash? Hmm? You tell me! :P
Ok, onto the review - here's what I smell out of the vial - a bit (ha!) of pear mixed in with nectarine and mangosteen, possibly the praline. If I had no idea what the notes were, I'd say this reminds me of the scent of wild strawberries. In addition, there's something in it reminiscent of the original Juicy Couture Juicy Couture scent (they share the note of patchouli - which is likely what I'm picking up on)… although I really hate patchouli, but that's besides the point, it smells like wet dirt to me.
When I smell it on myself initially, I pick up on the same notes as out of the vial. After wearing it for several hours I pick up the patchouli and sandalwood/something musky. It seems to wear off a lot quicker than the other perfumes in the Harajuku lovers line. I've worn it for around 6 hours, and while the scent is decent for the first 2 hours, it dissipates afterwards and becomes VERY faint.
I really love this perfume, not only for the scent, but, unlike with the others - it meets my hopes for what it should smell like, the florals and fruit scents don't overpower one another - creating a harmonious scent. My only tiff is that the scent fades quickly.
Please let me know if you have any questions or comments. Thanks!
