Gwen Stefani's Perfume Dolls Are 可愛い!
OK, no matter what you think about Gwen Stefani's tendency to fetishize anything and everything Asian, you've gotta admit: Her new perfume bottles are pret-ty darn 可愛い — that's kawaii, which is Japanese for "cute."

Inspired by the electric street scene of the Harajuku shopping district in Tokyo, the Harajuku Lovers fragrance collection is a set of five perfumes that capture the lyrics and iconography of Gwen Stefani’s albums. They appeal to anyone who appreciates a “fatal attraction to cuteness.”

OK, so Gwen Stefani's new Harajuku Lovers scents aren't my favorite, but she sure does know how to market them.

Gwen Stefani's Harajuku Lovers perfumes launched nearly a year ago with great success.
