   I got this at tj maxx for $15. No idea what it smelled like but it was so cute. It was very love/hate at first, one of the notes just didn’t do it for me so I put it away. I’d give it a 2.5 or 3 at this point.

   I tried it again this week and I love it! I don’t know if after 3 years whatever I didn’t like isn’t noticeable anymore, or its different body chemistry from night living in Florida/being older, but I love it now. it’s sweet, summery, and not very complex. I’d buy it again if I can find it or end up using it all.

   I believe this was my first ever perfume I got in middle school. I remember finding this in Walmart and begging my mom to buy it for me… I couldn’t resist the adorable packaging. The smell was nice mostly, but a little artificial and chemical-ish smelling. It has a very sweet coconut and vanilla scent to it. It’s definitely not strong or overwhelming, making it perfect for spring and summer. The scent didn’t last very long on me. I think this perfume has been discontinued though? I can’t find it anywhere. 🙁 I would definitely repurchase if I could find it.

   My mum usually gets me a Harajuku for christmas. I never actually wear it, just love the bottles! This is my first time actually spraying the perfumes so I thought I’d review them! I think Music kinda crisp and fresh like the ocean, its different, but I definitely buy for the design rather than the scent. Also fades fast but I kinda expected that from the price.

   Harajuku G is more of a creamy vanilla scent, works well with my skin, I actually really like it & can’t stop smelling my wrist! At first when I sprayed it was like water, no smell, I was really confused. But than it transformed into a lovely not-too-sweet scent, it’s almost like I’m wearing a subtle mix of vanilla & creme brûlée. Unexpected but lovely <3

   Wow – what a disappointment!

   I thought I would love this. It features mandarin, fresh coconut, and apple peel in the top, jasmine sambac, freesia and magnolia in the heart, and coconut cream, white sandalwood and cottonwoods.

   I love coconut, and tropical/sweet, but the initial smell of this is awful…like slightly coconut and PLASTIC. It’s a weird smell, and I don’t like it-it smells very synthetic and industrial. I don’t know if it usually smells this way or got too warm or old and picked up a plastic smell from the bottle, but it’s unpleasant. After a while it smells a little better, but it never really smells great.

   I was expecting a stronger, purer smell of coconut. I really don’t like this much at all. After about 30 min to an hour it smells faintly just ok. It really doesn’t smell much like “tropical”.

   I just purchased this after smelling it on a friend. It’s such a lovely, light and summery fragrance. I get lots of compliments when I wear it.

   The bottle is so cute it hurts. I would repurchase without question!

   I have three of the mini bottles, the original, the Snow Bunnies version, and the Jingle G version. I love this scent! To me, it smells like a light citrus with notes of vanilla. The bottles are so cute too! I own a couple of the other scents, but G is my absolute favorite. I find it lasts a good while. It’s a nice scent for everyday, though the bottles, even the large sized ones, are rather small.

   This is probably my favourite scent. It tends to be a strong scent on me but some how light and airy at the same time. It makes me think of pina colada on the beach. It has a great coconut and pineapple smell without smelling like sunscreen like most other perfumes/sprays with those same types of scents. I bought this at my local drug store when it first came out for about $50. The packaging is the cutest I had ever seen and what intially drew me to it. However I hated how little I got for the price. The bottle was all the doll cap and only came in 30ml as the largest size. Since then I have bought another bottle on Ebay for only $30 and I got a tester of 100 ml and couldn’t be happier! 🙂

   This is one of my signature scents!

   I love anything with a wood, musk, vanilla, coconut note.

   This fragrance is a fragrance I can wear for any occasion, I absolutely LOVE this scent.

   It reminds me slightly of; Hilary Duff – With Love

   5/5 score from me <3

   I generally hate “sweet” scents but am addicted to this one. It’s definitely not for everyone. My former roommate threw a fit everytime I used “G”.
   One thing that annoys me is that the scent seems to be slightly different with every bottle. Also, I didn’t realize that “Super G” is a different scent than “G”. Hard to keep up with the constant changes.
   But overall, I’m obsessed and I’ll keep buying. It’s almost my signature scent at this moment.

    A great summertime scent. Heavy on coconut. I love it. Not something I would wear in the dead of winter. It’s definitely a “let’s celebrate all things tropical” kind of scent. If you like beach-themed fragrances like BB “Beach”, this would be a nice addition to your summer fragrance wardrobe. The bottle is super cute, too.
