Right off the top , I can honestly say that this scent reminded me of Love’s baby soft fragrance I used to use when I was a pre teen, this smells almost identical to it. This one is a drop more lemony, & it has a similarity to Taylor by Taylor swift. The swirl bottle one with faux pearls. This is a perfect scent to those who prefer soft fragrance as this one sits very close to skin. Summer fragrance 100%. This one was a blind buy , and also takes a few min to settle as the opening is a bit synthetic, gladly tho it wears off & your just left with mostly lemon drops.
Also thought I would quickly add in that My hubby thought this smells like “ Lemon Tea” & he likes this fragrance. I thought that was so cute.

Lemon pound cake! That’s all I get from this, but I enjoy it through and through. This will make a great scent for the rest of the warm spring days we’ve been having in Seattle, but it may be a little heavy on the sugar for a hot summer.

I have the 3.4oz tester of this. And I like it. It’s not my favorite of the Harajuku Lovers line (love is my favorite) but Sunshine Cuties Lil Angel definitely has a place in my repertoire! On my skin it’s a very sweet and delicate fragrance. I mostly get sugar and lemon and then a floral that, for the world, smells like sweet violets but is probably the orchid. It has very small silage, I have to put my nose right up to my skin but it lingers on me for hours. It’s dry down loses a bit of the sugar and moves to vanilla and lemon with a touch of woodsy notes.
So if you’re looking for a scent that will smell like freshly baked lemon meringue and won’t inflict itself upon everyone in the vicinity this is perfect for you!

I really like this one, but after I spray it, I can’t smell it that well. This reminds me a little bit of Sweet on Paris, by BBW. This is better than the original. If I could smell this more than I can it would be a 10/10, because I can barely smell it I give this perfume a 8/10.

At first I wasn’t sure whether I liked this, but I’ve grown to really appreciate it. The citrus is not too sharp, the fruits are not too sweet, and the patchouli in the dry down is warm and soft. There is also a hint of coconut, which I don’t see listed in the notes – but that may be the playfulness of the tropical sampaguita rounding off the vanilla.
I have the wee .33 ounce and then bought a big (tester) bottle on eBay because this has definitely become one of my staple summer fragrances.

Smells like lemon meringue pie! This is a very sweet citrus, not tart or sour at all. Very young. Personally I love it, but only wear it during the summer.
Dennikifor – :
such a fun scent! i love it in summer for the pool or going to the river with friends… first it smells like fresh squeezed lemon juicy but when it settles it elts down to this beautiful vanilla madeleine scent 🙂 its a fund scent… nothing i would wear as signature but its fun 😀

LOVE.LOVE.LOVE. This is my first sunshine cuties, and it beats out alot of others. I love the smell of lemon, and this one is on the very sweet side.
With sweet perfumes, sometimes they can come off as sickly like SJP NYC or something like that. This one does not do that for me at all in my opinion.
But The first smell can sometimes make me think of furniture cleaner cuz the lemons. But the drydown is very nice vanilly. Too bad this perfume doesnt like to stick around for a while…
Cute bottle, too.I mean it’s not even worth mentioning with these harajuku lovers beacause the bottles are always great. Also i got this at ross, so nice deal and nice perfume 🙂
PS. I just had a serious revelation with this perfume. If you want fruity pebbles (the cereal) in a bottle, this is totally it.
Nikolashka – :
The best of the entire Harajuku Lovers line BY FAR. It’s the only one I’ve tried that I honestly LOVE. Not like … LOVE.
Bath & Body Works’ Lemon Vanilla/Hello Sugar is one of my all-time favorite Summer fragrances, and this smells exactly like that, except the drydown has a hint of sandalwood (or “woodsy notes,” as this site calls it).
The Harajuku Lovers are really fun to collect and everything, but this is the only fragrance in the line that I would purchase again and again.

Very sweet…it smells like a lemon cookie! I found the sugar scent to be a little overwhelming at first, but I’ve really warmed up to it. I would say this would be a good fragrance for a young girl or someone with a sweet tooth 🙂
bigalexx – :
out of all the sunshine cuties, this one has to be my favorite! Little angel has never failed me, I love all her scents! this one however is my favorite out of all of them
sunshine cuties little angel is inoffensive and very light! at first spray she smells very lemony and sugary like a lemon cookie, cake or any sweet treat that is lemon flavored and when this dries down it has a sweet and mellow vanilla scent! or so I think! last time I wore this stuff my friend told me I smelled like fruit Loops! I guess thats still a good thing! if u like tropical fruity scents that wont offend anyone or if your sensitive, get this!!!
KRASH – :
So this scent smells exactly like lemon sugar by Avon Mark. Smells really lemony and is a nice spring/summer scent but holy moly doesnt last at all. in 5 minutes its gone on my skin.Bummer!
Barbra37 – :
this is the most unique fragrance that i own. very very summery..it smells to me like..a melting dreamsicle and a glazed doughnut. the only downside to this is that i feel like i must be wearing a swim suit on the hottest day of summer in order to wear this.
Lovalena – :
lovely light and sweet
dmitrii_ko969 – :
Lovely lemony, sugary almost sherberty smell that fades to a light vanilla. As mentioned in previous comments it is quite goody, which is a plus for me. This is the only Sunshine Cuties HL I own at the mo but it is lovely and I plan to get the rest 😀 I like it a lot more than the original Lil’ Angel.

my friend gave this to me as a birthday present last year and i just got the chance to use this. i LOVE this. this is probably the best perfume from harajuku lovers. this smells so lovely,sweet,soft, and so nice. but unfortunately this doesn’t last very long on my skin, about 2 or 3 hours tops.
yrq178Negeltzex – :
Very foody and wholesome, has a sweet, lemony smell. The sugar adds a meringue to the mix, making it smell like a whole slice of pie rather than a fragrance. Lovely!
zcr668InsuffBooni – :
it smells heavenly just like a flower thats just bloomed i love the lovely floral scent its got!!!
fineless – :
This is a very sweet, very yummy tropical smelling scent. It conjures images of sipping pina coladas on a Hawaiian beach while basking in the sun. It truly is like tropical sunshine in a bottle.
It opens with a strong citrusy tang…the scent of oranges and lemons is very pronounced.
After a while the floral notes start to become stronger and (even though it’s not listed in the notes), I could definitely smell coconut, which lends to the tropical vibe.
I couldn’t really smell any patchouli in the dry down. It dried down to a fruity, sugary vanilla, which is very pleasant.
This is my favorite Harajuku. It smells so good, and is perfect for a hot summer’s day, especially if you want the immediate feeling that you have been transported to a white sandy beach with azure waters.
And of course the bottle is just adorable (as with every perfume in this line.)
On me the lasting power was average to good, staying for about 6-7 hours, and pretty good sillage too.
The only thing is that I wish they did them in bigger bottles too, because they get used up so quickly.
But overall, this rates for me at 8/10.

I actually prefer this to the original ‘Lil Angel’. The original smelled sort of synthetic or over-done to me, but this one is a nice juicy fragrance! It smells really tangy, coconut-y, aquatic-like, tropical and sweet on my skin!
It’s shame it doesnt last long at all! i put it on in the morning and buy lunch it’s completely gone!
Toshich13 – :
Very very similar to bath and body works lemon vanilla which i love! Cute bottle!

From the original Harajuku Lovers, I found Lil’ Angel to be the worst one with that heavy, syprupy, days-old-in-the-sun-smelling pineapple note. But now, from the Sunshine Cuties Collection, I find this one to be the best one from the line. I don’t find any similarities between this and the original, except that they are both sweet scents. This one reminds me a little of a younger, more subtle, watered-down version of ‘L de Lolita Lempicka’, minus the cinnamon note found in ‘L’, with a sweet burst of lemon meringue.
I am very fond of this one, even though it is VERY sweet… It’s almost bordering on *too* sweet for me, and it is really not like me to say that. I’m not sure how well its staying power is(I only tried it at the store today), but even if it’s 1/2 the staying power of ‘L de lolita’, I will be quite impressed. Regardless, I ordered myself the 100ml tester bottle, so I can feel free to spray anytime I wish.

I LOVE the original Lil Angel. This one isnt awful but its not as good as the original at all. Its nice and sweet but I wont be needin a bottle. : )
aleracces – :
I enjoyed the first Lil’ Angel (a candied pineapple, very energetic) but the sunshine cuties version disappointed me
Upon first spraying, it was a sweet lemon which was nice but smelled familiar
I couldn’t quite place it until five minutes into the fragrance- Pink Sugar
The scent is nothing more than Pink Sugar with a short lemony open
It’ll sell quite nicely, but nothing I would wear myself
lena4ka – :
I agree! But they are limited edition so they won’t be for sale in the winter. You can only get them from spring throughout summer if you’re lucky!
