G is the fragrance that was made for Gwen herself and the original of the this one is a favorite summer fragrance of mine. The original contains a heart note of coconut and vanilla and reminds me of the beach. Based on first glance of the notes in this new version, I feel that this new one will really disappoint me."In this collectable line of fragrances, the edgy-cute, super-stylish girls of Tokyo's Harajuku shopping district inspired each bottle's unique, doll-like character - including G. With her electric-yellow flocked hair, she sports an outfit that's all her own and a scent that sweetly pulses of fruity and floral accords. G is part of the limited-edition Wicked Style fragrance collection that features deliciously fun scents in bottles that take cues from the obsessive Japanese fashion that Gwen Stefani introduced to America".
The notes of this version of the fragrance are: Green Apple, Watermelon, Raspberry. The original notes of the first fragrance are: Mandarin, Coconut, Apple Skin, Jasmine Sambac, Freesia, Magnolia, Coconut Cream, White Sandalwood, Cotton Woods.
This is version of the fragrance is not for me. It is very sweet and fruity and almost a sickening sweet. I found that it faded fast and didn't have much of base to make it stick around. This is a version that I will pass on and just keep with my love of the original. And the fact that the coconut is totally gone upsets me. This could have been made in a deeper coconut blended with fall notes and really stayed true to the original fragrance.
