Enter Santal Blush by Tom Ford. Whispers from fans invited to Swift's Popularity secret sessions revealed she wears the woodsy perfume grounded in notes of sandalwood, cinnamon, and ylang-ylang. Plus, a scene from her 2020 Netflix documentary Miss Americana exhibits a clip of Swift backstage on the Popularity tour, through which a bottle of Santal Blush is surrounded by other tour necessities.
Tobacco Vanille by Tom Ford — a classy fragrance with a smoky sweet scent — additionally comes up in conversations about Swift's signature odor. Others say she's a longtime fan of Viktor & Rolf's Flowerbomb, which interprets her penchant for warm scents right into a more floral base with notes of jasmine, rose, and cattleya.
But Swift's love for richly romantic scents predates her Tom Ford fixation: She typically used to put on her personal fan-favourite fragrances from Elizabeth Arden. Between 2011 and 2014, the Grammy winner released five fragrances with the cosmetics company: Wonderstruck, Wonderstruck Enchanted, Taylor, Product of Starlight, and Unimaginable Issues. Unfortunately, they've all since been discontinued, leaving fans deep-diving for dupes and scouring the web for coveted unopened bottles, which sell for a whole lot of dollars.
Wonderstruck, a magical scent for hopeless romantics sealed in a fascinating purple bottle, was Swift's first foray into fragrance in 2011. It's a floral scent with prime notes of raspberry, blackberry, and freesia, together with base notes of peach and sandalwood. Its sister scent Wonderstruck Enchanted debuted soon after in a equally shaped burgundy bottle, which continued the candy and floral theme with vanilla base notes.
In a 2012 interview with MTV UK, Swift stated Wonderstruck captured the exhilarating emotion of first assembly someone, while Wonderstruck Enchanted represented the feeling "after you've met them, after you've already fallen in love." In any case, the names of each fragrances have been plucked from a lyric in "Enchanted," which explores the thrill of affection at first sight.
TikTok perfume influencer Paul Fino singled out some dupes to fill the Wonderstruck-shaped gap in Swifties' hearts: Lost in Ink by Oakcha for Wonderstruck and Night Illusion by Sunnamusk for Wonderstruck Enchanted. Titania by Fable & Canon can also be a reported dupe of Wonderstruck, while Tub and Body Works' Into the Night mirrors Wonderstruck Enchanted's floral notes.
Shifting into the Purple period, in 2013 Swift debuted her third Elizabeth Arden perfume, recognized merely as Taylor, which she described as candy and complicated in a Q&A. Her eponymous scent combined floral and citrus components, curating a fragile stability of lychee, tangerine, and magnolia petals, with woody notes at its base. Though Swift has since promised we'll never find another like her, Burberry for Women by Burberry comes near matching her namesake fragrance.
Product of Starlight was released in early 2014 as a special version of the Taylor fragrance, and although it mirrored Taylor's retro-esque packaging and lots of of its floral-fruity perfume notes, it was a noticeably lighter scent, with apricot, passionfruit, and mandarin leaves. For Her by Narciso Rodriguez incorporates notes just like Manufactured from Starlight's recent citrusy essence (albeit with out the accompanying collector's music box).
Unimaginable Things — a floral and woodsy scent with base notes of creamy musk, Madagascar vanilla, and white amber — hit the shelves in 2014 during Swift's unique 1989 era. If her previous fragrances represented love, Swift stated in a behind-the-scenes clip, then this bold fragrance named for a "Blank Space" lyric represented life.
While Swift has switched up her fragrance picks from breezy florals to vanilla musks through the years, she has persistently maintained her signature scent of success (and Santal Blush, in fact). And for what it's value, Travis Kelce, too, smells really good.
