"   Photo: Getty Images  Backstage before her L.A.M.B. show, Gwen Stefani was all smiles\u2014especially when it came to talking about her latest Harajuku Lovers fragrance collection, Wicked Style, launching November 1. &amp;quot;I think it turned out really good this time,&amp;quot; she says, though she admits that scents can be a challenge. &amp;quot;Doing five at once is difficult, especially when you&amp;#039;re trying to fit the personality of each girl into the perfumes and make them as true as possible.&amp;quot; Today Stefani might be the consummate perfumer, but she says her beginnings were humble. &amp;quot;I didn&amp;#039;t wear a lot of perfume growing up,&amp;quot; she says, &amp;quot;I remember going to Sav-On and buying Tickle deodorant and Love&amp;#039;s Baby Soft. From there, I got into Rasta perfume oils. But it wasn&amp;#039;t until I started working at a department store makeup counter in the early-&amp;#039;90s that I really began discovering fragrance.&amp;quot; Stefani says she never imagined she&amp;#039;d create her own scent: &amp;quot;People asked me for years to do something and I&amp;#039;d be like, `I&amp;#039;m in a band, why would I do that?&amp;#039; It never clicked. But once I started L.A.M.B., it kind of made sense. Clothing and fragrance are all layers of what we wear.&amp;quot; Hair and makeup are also part of those layers\u2014which brings us to Stefani&amp;#039;s signature blond mane and red lipstick. Will her beauty look change as her fragrance preferences did? &amp;quot;I don&amp;#039;t think I&amp;#039;ll stay blond the rest of my life, but I&amp;#039;ll probably keep the red lipstick. I don&amp;#039;t always do red but my husband really likes it so I&amp;#039;ll probably have to keep wearing that color if I want to keep the marriage going,&amp;quot; she says with a laugh.
