Beautiful. Apricot shines through right away, and though I'm not a huge fan of the apricot note in general, in this mixed with the other notes, it blends so well and can't imagine it without. This is likely better during warmer weather, but it's a cool Canadian fall day today and this seems to be the perfect scent for the day. If you don't like it, wait a season and try again. Don't give up on her. It's difficult to pinpoint the other notes, but they're definitely there and working hard to keep up with the apricot. This is so well blended. I have not had much luck with celebrity scents, though there are some powerhouse gems like Queen Latifah's Queen of Hearts, SJP Lovely, to name a few that I absolutely adore. This doesn't fall into my usual go-to of scents, but it's different in such a lovely way and though I'm not a TS fan in general, this perfume is nice, friendly, kind. If this was a person, she'd offer you gum and hold the door open for you, even though you'd never met. She'd smile sweetly, looking shy but tell you confidently that she loves your bag and boldly ask you where you got it. She'd recommend a great book and you'd remember her fondly later for being so kindhearted. Fruity, floral and woody. What the notes show above, I'm getting, except the tangerine, which isn't standing out, but likely working to catch up like the others behind the apricot and blending well with that bunch. Apricot is definitely in the lead here, but not in a coy or obnoxious way, she's holding her own and shining. We shall see if she takes this to the end, I imagine she will, and she will win. She is young, agile and has endurance it seems, so far. Ooohhh the florals and woods are coming through, helping to even out the sweetness, but the sweetness is syrupy in the best kind of way, and though I'm not a fan of "syrup" scents, this is divine. Soft drifts of candy are whispering... don't overspray this if you're wearing it out, or they may get louder. I always overspray when I'm alone at home, testing the perfume to push the limits and find the boundaries. Spray this with caution. Scent is shifting. Candy... but not bad, like crushed powdery rockets at Halloween. The wood is keeping this from being too much for me. The bottle is stunning, cap is sturdy. Mine is full though 2nd hand and missing the pearls, but still the shape has this vintage vibe that I love. I'm shocked at how much I love this. I could never wear this every day, but can see how this would be a signature scent for anyone who loves apricot, sweet syrup or sweet floral. To enhance the wood, I may try layering this on top of sandalwood or cedarwood essential oil. I've done that the last few days and completely changed some perfumes into completely new scents that made me love them even more. It's been so long since I tried this one so I wanted a reminder of what she smelled like on her own, but I'm definitely going to try this with my oils. I can see this being a favourite if that works out. Not so strong that everyone can smell you, staying fairly close to skin, may not last as long on me, or maybe I'm just getting used to it and don't smell it as much.. I know others would still smell it on me as this is not a "fade away" as so many other celebrity scents are. No doubt this will win you compliments from both men and women. With that sweet "candy-ish" scent, likely even your kids! 😆 Teachers, this is a great scent for school. Mamas, your kids will remember this one. Candy settling down with the apricot while they let the florals and wood catch up, just enough to let them think they have a chance to win. Don't think they're done, they're just playing nice. If you've bought this and it's sitting around collecting dust because it was too "much", experiment. Try it during different weather, different seasons, spray more, spray less, layer on top of some woody essential oils... don't give up on her. She seems versatile enough, and she wants to win you over. Give her another chance. She may surprise you. She's surprising me. If I've left a review of this in the past, I likely did not enjoy this perfume as much, as I haven't picked it up in years... but right now I'm absolutely loving it and will definitely be adding her to my rotation. It's fall equinox and the newly cool weather is dancing with this scent so well. Seeing as this is discontinued, if I saw this somewhere for a decent price, I would repurchase because it feels like something I never want to be without. Wow, how have I had this sitting on a shelf in the dark room for so long? I must have really not liked it. So happy I reached for it today. Well done, Taylor. 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 Edit: I'm 40, and don't like to assign ages to scents, I truly believe anyone can wear anything they like. That being said, we all know some scents that are too bold for the young, or too young for our more mature and distinguished noses... Taylor is one that anyone can wear. 0-100+ Edit 2: This is so long already, but I woke up today still able to smell this. The longevity is nuts. It was faint, but still there. Another cool fall day (Sept 23, fall equinox) but today I'm going out. Decided to try this again but amp up the wood notes, so I'm layering it on top of sandalwood and cedarwood essential oil. Time will tell if that was a good idea or not, so far, it smells amazing. :)

In honour of Taylor Swift's new album, "evermore", being released, I decided to wander on over here and submit a review. So just picture me with ear-phones in, typing away whilst listening to folksy, spell-binding music. Mmmm... Let's get down to it: I freakin' LOVE this. A gorgeous syrupy, fruity concoction. Listen, I love a fruity fragrance as much as the next Perfumite, but a lot of them fade immediately, or give me a solidly synthetic face-slap! Not "Taylor", though (hehehe). This makes me daydream of being a teenager again; trolling the mall, buying cute hair-clips and drinking my first caffeine-laden coffee. That lychee? Oh, why are you so good to me? Lychee brings a gentle, yet wilding intoxicating sweetness; once again, proving it's champion-level note status. Magnolia is every soft, pretty, uber-feminine wearer's dream. Tangerine and apricot are the fruity dance-partners who dominate this scent with their intoxicating moves. Previous reviewers who mention "liquor" and "champagne" are 100% on the money! This perfume has a syrupy, rich, effervescent depth that comes across as olfactory inebriation. The understated floral combination of peony, vanilla orchid, and hortensia prevent this perfume from being straight-up airborne alcohol as well as preventing it from becoming another dull, lifeless, cloying sugar-bomb. The base notes are lovely. Apricot is truly dominant here, and throughout the life of this perfume as this base note proves. The coziness of the cashmere musk is boss, with the woody notes grounding the perfume with a subtle creamy sensuousness. I know this smells similar to Burberry "Woman". I (more recently) got that perfume, and - whilst I like it - I don't love it with the wild abandon I do this one! Longevity is pretty good. Sillage is epic! A spray that feels like I've showered myself even when I've been light-triggering. I always find myself trying to catch whiffs of it on me like a dog-gone bloodhound! The bottle is better than expected. The heaviness of the glass is nice: I always like that. The cap is firm. The colourful swirl is girly --> not my favourite aspect, but I don't hate it. The jewelry is great. I can honestly say I've never had a perfume that could clutch its own pearls before! I just love it, Perfumites. *** Kitty rating: 9.5/10.

I first got this perfume as a rollerball and I loved it so much I bought the full size. This was back when it was still in stores and if I'd known how much I was gonna enjoy this so consistently over the years maybe I would have bought more. When I first got my bottle it was clear, but it's "macerated" to a golden liquid now. As soon as I take the lid off I'm greeted with a mouth watering juicy apricot, or maybe it's the tangerine or litchi. It's so creamy and then a sweet floral note comes and carries it, ever so soft and gentle, not like putting your nose right into a flower and inhaling - but like brushing past a plant and getting a bit of its bloom in the air. It's the sweetest, softest thing ever and wouldn't dare to burden you with a headache or offend by pulling too floral or too powdery. I have less than a quarter left now and I don't know whether to use it and enjoy it or leave it forever as a keepsake. Back when I bought it I wasn't even a fan of hers and over the years I have become one so the bottle could happily live on display with my record collection. I also have about half of the rollerball version which when smelling directly from the bottle unfortunately seems to have turned a bit, although testing it on my skin it seems to be drying down okay. Not sure that I'd ever fork out for this again with the crazy resale prices especially with the potential for it to have gone the same way as my rollerball and I'd warn others of that too. Maybe it's a just gonna be a lost love. I also have wonderstruck & wonderstruck enchanted rollerballs and gosh, why were her fragrances just so, so good?

I love this scent by accident. Certainly the bottle didn't appeal to me. I purchased this on sale with the lotion and hair perfume in a CUTE case I wanted for make up! I have two bottles of Fany Love so didn't feel the "need" for Taylor. I, like many, found it so similar. And now...like many others, I agree and find that it's much more fruity! The fruity note to me is like Bubble Yum bubblegum. To my nose, this is Fancy Love's younger sister, by about five years. I would wear Fancy Love to a wedding, baby shower, a casual out of town weekend. Taylor, I'd keep for more casual shopping and lunch, sports games for children, school funtions like Fun Night, or when grand children visit. I just feel it has younger vibe to it. Children like you better when you smell like what THEY think smells good. If I were to go to a wedding, baby shower, out of town weekend and felt like taking Taylor, I sure would! And that goes both ways! Both scents can go ANYwhere and be loved on you. Numerous children have commented on how GOOD I smell wearing Fancy Love! The suggestions are just a thought to help describe these two perfumes. Taylor just makes me feel a little younger. I want to find the nearest squeaky swing! Maybe this is more outdoorish? To sum this up. I love this scent! It's worth your time to look into this even if you own Fancy Love. The bottle has even grown on me to the point of admiring it. Maybe this isn't a younger sister. Maybe it's just me being childish. This perfume is MINE, and I love it! and it's better than YOURS!

I really love this perfume! It is delicious! I wasn't sure about it at first, I tried on a rollerball at Ulta and it smelled alright but as I was standing in line to checkout I kept smelling this delcious warm creamy vanilla cozy scent. I bought the large perfume right away and so glad I did! Not only was it on sale, but the perfume is even better than the roller ball! I couldn't figure out the fruity note until I checked here and it's definitely the apricot! I love it, it reminds me of our old house when I was really little because we had an apricot tree in the backyard that we would play under. Such good memories. The sillage is perfect for me, enough that I can smell it and get wafts of it while doing random things, even the dishes! When it warms up on my skin I just feel so happy and comfy, I smell a touch of apricot, a creamy vanilla, and a base of sandalwood (I think). This is my current signature and go-to scent. Love wearing this in the winter. I wonder how it will change in the warmer weather. I liked it so much that I tried another of her other scents, Wonderstruck, and liked it too! Will see what Enchanted is like next. Thanks, Taylor! Glad this scent worked with my skin chemistry.
