Incredible Things

The base of this perfume, which many associate with the smell of "men's cologne" is Vetiver. This is indeed quite similar to Lancôme's Hypnose for women, which I own and appreciate as well. Hypnose is also a strong vetiver based scent. To many noses, vetiver imitates anise or what some refer to as a "black licorice" scent. This scent is what I would refer to as "beguiling". It is soft, yet strong. Powdery, yet intense, sweet yet balanced. It whispers intrigue and people are drawn to the uniqueness of the perfume. I am in love with the price point and grabbed another bottle to stow away. I personally find this scent to be incredibly comforting and perfect for me for rainy Spring weather. The vetiver definitely has a masculine vibe, and you need to appreciate that all encompassing note in order to enjoy this. Vanilla and the imitation suede note (well done, btw), take a middle seat, and I smell absolutely not one drop of coconut whatsoever. I actually like the opaque glass bottle...pretty watercolors and it "goes" with the smell inside. The gold cap won't stay on my bottle and is a pain to try to snap on. Ball dropped big time with quality control there. I do not base my reviews of celebrity endorsed scents on the celebrity whatsoever, but on the nose and house that created the scent, and of course the scent itself. I do not know much about Taylor Swift, but she sure signed her name to a few good concoctions. If you want to try an inexpensive scent that is unique, unisex, utterly intriguing and doesn't smell like a run of the mill juicy fruit celebrity scent, give this a shot. If you don't like it, I'll gladly take it off of your hands. If you like Hypnose, you will LOVE the price tag of this bottle containing~ Vanilla, suede, amber & vetiver...all which truly are "Incredible Things". XO

First things first: What a nice surprise! I received this one as a gift and sprayed it on about an hour ago. I'm so delighted that I want to quickly share my experience with you :) The box and bottle of Incredible Things are very pretty and the bottle is quite handy. I have the 50ml and could easily put it in my bag. For me that's always a plus. The shape of the bottle also keeps it from being too girly. Now the scent is not as easy as I first thought: First spray - fruity and beachy, reminiscent of Miami Glow. I see that other members have detected that as well and I agree! "Ok", I thought and continued with my work as I know that we haven't entered the interesting part yet - the development on my skin. What I smell now I love - after the fruity and beachy notes fade (I think it's a mix of the top notes with the Passion Flower) Incredible Things becomes musky, creamy and slightly leathery + peppery, with little hints of the flowers. I can smell the vanilla but it's rather dry and not as edible as in other scents. It's sweet, yes, but very chic and rather a dry sweetness. Think Manifesto, maybe? I suppose that the Vetiver and Pepper add a little masculine touch to it. It's really not easy to describe but I love it. And I see that my text is getting longer as I wanted it to! :) Will wear it out this week and see how I feel about it but I recommend checking this one out. It really is different! Think a mix of Miami Glow (little cup), Hypnose (medium) and a good handful of suede and pepper. Nice :)

I'm a 23 year old male and I am proudly on my second bottle of Incredible Things. I was on a work trip, and happened to score tickets to The 1989 World Tour the night I touched down in Minneapolis. I was at Target a few hours before the show stocking up on toiletries when I saw the bottle in the fragrance section. I laughed, thought, "what the hell, I'm going to the concert, might as well," and sprayed it on. For the next 20 minutes around the store, I would get subtle whiffs of something smelling fantastic, only to realize it was me. I ran back, impulse bought it, and never looked back. Every time I wear it, I am transported to colder, foggier days I spent holed up in a coffee shop with a mocha and a book. It's comforting, and I wear it when I'm stressed or nervous so as to calm down. I get the vanilla and the pink pepper most strongly here in the opening, and when the suede comes in, it gets an almost lived-in feel. I too, as others have noted, get a chocolatey scent in parts. It's subtle enough to - when sprayed appropriately - wear in any setting as almost a dirty little secret. I've worn it to work and gotten complements on it, and some of my friends have preferred it to some of the more "masculine" and expensive scents that I wore as staples. I will buy a third bottle when I run out, because why the hell not. It never fails to send me back to some happy memories.

I didn't like it at first. It smelled like powdered flowers but it is one of those scents that grows on me. Now I smell a fruity vanilla scent. I got the body spray and not the perfume so it doesn't last very long...probably 30-40 min but there's 8 oz of it and it is a lot cheaper. I spray it on myself and clothes and pillows. It is a sweet, soft, and gentle scent. I don't smell an overpowering powdery floral scent anymore. I do smell flowers, but they are fresh flowers. A little tip-perfume/body spray doesn't smell as good in the heat in my experience. For better results don't leave it somewhere hot or wear as much on a hot day. Also be careful not to spray more than one or two squirts because although it may smell mild to you some people are very sensitive. I sprayed some on myself, the air, and the pillows (remember this is body spray and not the perfume) so I used a bit more. I know it would have been worse if I'd sprayed the perfume because perfume is more concentrated. As it turns out my mom could smell it outside my bedroom from 30 feet away. I love this scent. My advice is to give it a chance. Don't give it once chance and then decide you hate it. The more I wear it, the more I like it.

One of the untypical celebrity fragrances. This smells like powdery marshmallow vanilla, delicate suede and tart tropical passion flower, rounded out with grapefruit, vetiver and pink pepper. It's a well-blended perfume where none of the notes is in-your-face. Some reviewers mention coconut and pineapple, and while I would never have thought of these notes by myself as this isn't beachy or very gourmand, I see where they're coming from. But in the end it's a softly sweet, very wearable suede and vanilla with fruity and spicy accents. There are also many comparisons to Lancôme Hypnôse, which I had years ago. They share the notes of passion flower, vetiver and a similar cold vanilla, but while Hypnôse is a bomb of these three notes, Incredible Things is more nuanced to my nose. The drydown reminds me a little bit of Guerlain Cuir Beluga, but not as a dupe and there is obviously a difference in quality. Incredible Things can keep up with regular designer scents though. It's a shame that this was discontinued and has gone up in price. I'm very glad I got a bottle while it was still affordable, and I would recommend it to anyone who likes this kind of scent, but I would not get it for 150 € on ebay.

Oh my soul... this scent is pure Heaven in a bottle for me! When this first came out, I have to admit I was a little skeptical. The bottle looked nice, but I assumed the juice would be another "generic" fruity -floral watery mess. I read the notes online, never really giving it much thought.. until one day I decided I would finally test it out! I walked into Target, not expecting too much, and I sprayed it on my wrists and I was stunned... it was perfect!! So creamy, sweet, floral, powdery.. and all blended perfectly into one scent! The pink pepper is the standout of the top, I don't really get the grapefruit note on my skin, it's not at all citrusy. The passion flower and vanilla orchid give it an angelic floral heart, it's so lovely and creamy and delectable! The suede aids in giving it body and making the scent very unique, the amber, vetiver, musk, and delicious vanilla just put the icing on the cake! I cannot get enough of this yummy treat! And the best part is... it lasts! Hallelujah! Simply gorgeous from beginning to end. Sublime. Celestial. Other worldly! <3 Longevity: 8 Hours before becoming a subtle skin scent Sillage: Moderate ~Never judge a book (or perfume) by it's cover!~

This was a nice little indulgence. I misted it on my arm on a whim at Target and was pleasantly surprised. Definitely noticed the vanilla and the musk, and of course with the grapefruit and other things it echoes Mademoiselle, but I'm glad I tried it on before looking here for notes or analysis, because if I had, I may not have tried it. It wasn't overpowering at all. My husband liked it, and that's saying something. It was lovely in a young, fun but not tacky or teenybopper way, if that makes any sense. Definitely okay for people over 30 (like myself) as well. It made me think of popcorn, cotton candy, rides on the ferris wheel, sunset walks in a park, feeding the ducks, simple pleasures like that. It was like feeling nostalgia about a first date in high school. There were a couple of things that make me hesitate about actually buying it till I'd worn it for several hours: for a few minutes I detected a hint of play-dough, for example, but that's probably just my skin and/or the rose shower gel I had already used. That play-dough note was faint and soon went away, and the drydown was very gentle. Enjoy!

My favorite cuddly vanilla fragrance! Scent memory alert: My first boyfriend's suede jacket marinated in his Obsession cologne with some of my fruity vanilla something all swirled together. Yumm... Incredible things has a rich, sweet, spicy vanilla with an edge. I think this is a high quality perfume. This potent vanilla blends with a leather musk, brightened by a fruity passionflower. I think the pepper and passionflower make this perfume interesting, along with the leather vibe, which saves it from being just another vanilla celeb perfume. The pink pepper is stronger for the first 5 minutes for me, reeling me in with a spicy opening. Then it just hangs out in the background, keeping things interesting. The rest is creamy-fruity vanilla leather. I really enjoy wearing this, as it has great longevity (7 hrs) and is a comforting, unique cool weather scent. Or even summer if it's not too hot out. I recommend it to folks who dig leather and vanilla. It's super inexpensive, too. Update: I just smelled this loveliness on a sweatshirt I wore last week- lasts nicely in fabric.

I work in retail and one time bought a cheap off-brand shampoo and conditioner from the store I work at. It smelled lovely, and I was a little sad when the bottle was finally empty. However, about a year later, I was emptying one of our perfume shipments to put on display, and I came across this perfume. On a whim, I set it aside and bought it after my shift. When I got home and tested it out, right off the bat, I had a dizzying case of nostalgia because it smelled just like that conditioner I loved so much! Incredible Things is soft and musky, and I melt into the complementary notes of vanilla and suede after dry down. This perfume makes me think of those first few days of autumn, when the air gets a little colder, and it just smells like October outside. This scent is perfect for a crisp fall day OR night, in my opinion. It's fairly long-lasting, as I can usually still smell it on me when I'm getting into bed. And the sillage is strong, yet not overbearing. Overall, I'd give it 4.5 out of 5 stars.

As long as I can still find this perfume, it will forever and always be my signature scent. I received Incredible Things as a birthday gift when it first hit stores back in 2014/15, and I instantly fell in love with it. This is, undoubtedly, my favorite fragrance of all time. It has the perfect balance of masculinity and femininity, and smells amazing in the spring and fall seasons. This perfume is so comforting to me: the soft spiciness of the pink pepper, the coziness of the suede, and the sweetness of the vanilla/amber/musk base make this fragrance delectable and positively unique. My favorite trait of this fragrance has to be its longevity. After spraying this, I wake up the next day and find that cozy base lingering in my hair and on my skin. No fragrance will ever come close to Incredible Things for me: it is so sentimental, and such a flattering fragrance on me! Here to hoping this discontinued gem gets re-released someday (maybe even alongside 1989 Taylor's Version; fingers crossed!).

To add on from my previous comment, this scent lasted over 24 hours (and going strong) on my cardigan I wore yesterday. I get this vanilla suede, almost woody masculine scent. Very comforting and oddly sexy. Like a cozy Sunday morning kind of sexy. Edit: It's been about a week, and for experimental purposes (must be the scientist in me), I kept the cardigan unwashed & hung up to allow air to pass through it (I'd think it'd be easier for material to maintain a scent if it was crumpled up with nowhere to dissipate). Since Saturday morning when I first sprayed it, that suede vanilla scent is STILL THERE! Maybe I'll never wash it again, haha. Kidding. But...kind of lovely that it could be a scent that infiltrates everything you own, heh. Not good if you don't like it, but...that's not the case with me. I only have a 1.0 oz bottle of this and the animal in me feels that I need to hoard and by more, but...calm down. It is relatively new and probably not going anywhere, Elaine. And, it is so cheap.

I find it INCREDIBLE, haha, that I really really like this scent! I was not expecting to AT ALL. I did not know anything about it, and saw it in the closed boxes at walmart, but they don't have testers. I was in CVS shopping and spritz my wrists with it once, and I kept wondering what smelled so damn good as I was shopping. It was this! I think the suede note really stands out on me and is just so yummy. I think it is quickly becoming a love. I'm not a Taylor Swift fan (not really much of a celebrity fan in general), but I don't let that sway me away from something that smells great. I think this is quickly moving up into my favorites. It actually comes off as unique. I can smell it randomly throughout the day, but isn't extremely strong. I feel like it's just right. Time will tell if it moves into my favorites. I generally like a lot of different scents, so when something seems to stand out to me, I definitely take notice.

It's true - this probably isn't what you'd expect AT ALL if you've smelled other Taylor Swift fragrances. A quick burst of pink pepper melts in to a creamy, musky, vanilla-suede cloud with a little hint of vetiver... and stays there all day. It's gorgeous, warm, cozy, and pretty much the only thing I wore all last winter! Personally, I feel amazing when I wear it, and I'm super bummed that it's so hard to find for a decent price nowadays. I don't generally repurchase scents - I like to keep the bottles, returning to them every now and then to remember the specific times and stages in my life where I always wore a certain perfume. The whole Olfactory-Sense-Has-A-Strong-Link-To-Memory shindig. But Incredible Things makes me understand why people buy backups of the ones they'll miss too much when they're gone. I love absolutely everything about it, right down to the watercolours on the bottle!

Incredible Things is a perfect leather scent for summer. Starts with a refreshing, cooling burst of lightweight grapefruit mixed with a just a hint of pink pepper, completely wrapped in icy cold vanilla. The vanilla prevents grapefruit and pink pepper from being sharp. Within 30 minutes, the dry down is cold vanilla and deep soft suede leather. Passion flower and orchid add a natural floral sweetness. Chic modern very lightweight powder wafts around you, lifted by dry airy vetiver. White musk and white amber give Incredible Things lasting power. Leathery suede remains prominent, smooth, lasting, deep, rich, soft and subtle. Incredible Things lasts easily 8 hours on my skin with moderate to soft projection. If you love leather and suede, this is a unique, well blended, cool, perfect choice for summer day or night.

I adore this perfume. It is my favorite at the moment. There is nothing basic about this. I adore the vanilla suede combo. That is what I smell most. And the grapefruit and pink pepper intro is somewhat overpowering at first but I adore it now. Seriously this perfume lasts forever on me, especially when in my hair. I get so many compliments. The musk in this is very strong and lovely, I could actually see a man pulling it off very well due to the musky, suede vanilla dry down. I love this, it was very well done. It was the first perfume I ever paid full price for. Wish the bottle was cuter though and I could tell how much I have left. Update: Every time I wear this I receive so many compliments. This is my most complimented perfume, by both men and women. Definitely my signature scent. Adore this.

Reading the comment below (thank you joliecat) I decided to go a little beyond my summer comfort zone (read fresh scents, Tommy Girl is a fixture in my collection) and wear Incredible Things on a rather warm day. So so beautiful! The review is spot on, IT develops somewhat warm and cold at the same time. Never cloying but with a steady presence and great longevity it envelops you throughout the day. Sillage is soft (also in colder weather) but that only makes it more attractive in my eyes. I am not familiar with the mentioned Glade and Febreeze scents but to me this is a spicier Hypnose and one of the few Vanilla/Leather scents I love. Very versatile! Imagine sitting in a fancy restaurant in Italy eating some delicious dessert :)

As a Swiftie and perfume lover, my life’s goal is to collect (or at least sample) every Taylor Swift perfume. This is the third, and I was lucky enough to win an eBay bid for a full unopened bottle at a great price! The most sophisticated and mature of Taylor's fragrances! The spicy and fruity top notes I'm not the biggest fan of. That's why I'm glad they only last about two minutes before drying down into this cozy, creamy, and sweet vanilla suede scent that I'm just in love with. It's light and becomes a powdery skin scent pretty quickly after the first few hours or so, but it still lasts longer than Wonderstruck Enchanted or Taylor does on me. It has such a bright and lively feeling to it, I really love this fragrance!

Disclaimer: I do not care for celebrities, and I do not purchase merchandise based on their endorsements. This review is free from any fan bias. I am addicted to Taylor Swift Incredible Things. Although it is sweet and contains vanilla, it is not a typical celebrity perfume. The leather, musk, and amber really make this stand out. I find this scent to be very well balanced. I am no good at identifying notes, but I would describe this scent to be sweet, rich, and heady. Although I typically like super feminine sweet/fruity/floral perfumes, I love this one even though I find it to be slightly masculine. It is intoxicating. I can't stop sniffing my arm! Scent: 9/10 Longevity: 8/10 Sillage: 7/10 ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

I'm genuinely impressed with the latest three TS fragrances. The quality is good and they all smell very pleasant. So far, these are three of the only celeb frags that I've found even remotely bearable. This is a lovely fruity vanilla scent, sweet and warm, but well balanced by the vetiver and amber. Its a little citrusy in the first spritz, to my nose, but as it dries down it becomes more floral and woody. The vanilla isn't too powdery either, which is great. Plus the bottle is beautiful! I am a fan of Taylor, but not to the extent that I would have bought something of hers even if I didn't like it. But I honestly love this! She really can "show us incredible things".

For a drugstore perfume, this is very very nice. The musk and vanilla don't fight against each other and the leather is very subtle. It's a soft little luxury, like a plushy towel still warm from the dryer. A bad tester can smell like play-dough, so be careful. I'm so glad this was compared with Hypnose. I can sense that similarity too. But Incredible Things is, to me, more wearable. The stages aren't so sharply demarcated: With Hypnose, I get the sweet vanilla first and then the musky and spicy notes, but with I.T. it's all kind of continuous and harmonious. Well done, Taylor and team!
