If you are Gwen Stefani’s Harajuku Lovers fan, you are in luck! The pop-star will be releasing five new fragrances this September, and the collection is named Harajuku Lovers (of course). These new perfumes are inspired by her four real-life backup singers. In fact, the five fragrance bottles will be modeled after Gwen Stefani and her crew.

The retail price for each perfume ranges from 40 to 60 USD. It will be sold in large department stores such as Macy’s, Nordstrom, Dillards, and beauty specialty retailer Sephora as well as in various international locations. The scents varies from fresh to floral to powdery.

Many of Stefani’s inspirations came from the women of the Harajuku area in Tokyo. This is reflected in her music, street wear clothing line, watches and handbag designs.

In an interview, Stefani told Women’s Wear Daily, “I didn’t think this project would actually come to life. The idea that Coty would let me do five different fragrances for Harajuku Lovers was a fantasy. [But] it really had to be five, because that’s what the world is. Each girl has her own personality and sense of style. We’re all saying something different with unique personalities.”

On the afternoon of March 29, 2008, a woman (whose name is being withheld by the police) stopped to check on a man who fell to the ground in front of her car. When she approached him to see if he was okay, “he pulled out a knife, forced her into her car and threatened to kill her.”

They drove around for nearly two hours before the little lady surprised her captor by spraying him with a bottle of Elizabeth Arden Red Door that had been sitting in her car. The spray from the perfume sent him running. Although the woman had minor cuts on her face and arm, at least all she lost was 80 bucks and her cell phone rather than her life.

According to Corpus Christi police Cmdr. David Torres, “It’s not common for someone to lay himself in front of a vehicle. He should be glad the driver was paying attention and stopped.”

Currently, the police are still looking for the suspect.

I bet he’s going to have nightmares about perfumes for days to come.
