L

L by Gwen Stefani is a bright, fresh, and youthful floral scent that centers around pear, lily of the valley, and freesia, with a soft, sweet peach and musk background. It opens with a crisp, slightly green aquatic burst and settles into a clean, delicate floral that feels more like a skin-scented body wash than a traditional perfume. The fragrance has moderate sillage and lasting power, with many appreciating its longevity and clean aura, particularly during spring and summer. It evokes a sense of freshness akin to being out of the shower, with a subtle, almost soap-like innocence. While some find it overly sweet or synthetic, especially in its initial burst, it is widely praised as a standout among celebrity fragrances, offering a refreshing alternative to typical floral-sweet profiles. Its distinctive bottle and unique character make it appealing to those who enjoy a clean, green-floral aesthetic and are open to a fragrance that lingers without dominating.
