HARAJUKU GIRLS

Ah, the early 2000s—when Gwen Stefani gave us bangers, bananas, and a baffling entourage of four identically dressed Japanese women who literally followed her around in silence like glittery little ghosts of cultural appropriation past. “Love. Angel. Music. Baby.” was the mantra, and we all chanted it like we weren’t watching a live-action Lisa Frank fever dream unfold.

This candle is a cheeky throwback to a time when no one blinked at an American pop star using living anime dolls as accessories. It smells like bubblegum, backstage passes, and a questionable understanding of Tokyo street fashion. Just like the album: iconic, chaotic, and maybe not quite aged like fine wine.

Choose Your Signature Scent:

• Vanilla Coconut – Playful, sugary, and sweet enough to soundtrack a runway strut through Takeshita Street (while somehow avoiding the side-eye).

• Noir Suede – Moody and edgy, like the eyeliner-heavy breakdowns between the Y2K hyperpop highs.

Made With:

• 100% Plant-Based Wax – Because problematic faves fade, but clean-burning candles are forever.

• 40 Hours of Burn Time – Long enough to stream Luxurious, Hollaback Girl, and question your fashion choices circa 2005.

• Eco-Friendly Glass Jar – Use it to store fake lashes, bobby pins, or the receipts from your cancelled faves.

Pro-tip: Light this candle while revisiting your Love.Angel.Music.Baby CD and reflecting on how we all once thought “cultural homage” meant dressing like a Bratz doll with a passport. It’s also a perfect gift for that friend who still defends this era with “But the beats were so good though.”

Light up This Candle Smells Like Harajuku Girls and bask in the sweet, problematic nostalgia of the pop era that gave us bops, bangs, and a crash course in what not to do when introducing “themed backup dancers.” 🍒🖤🎌
