Taylor

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.

It's funny... the first time I smelled this, years ago, I thought it was sour and soapy. I tried it out again the other day and fell in love! Fun, fresh apricot jam with a lovely blend of florals and deep woody notes. There's a bit of a fruity bubblegum vibe in the beginning, and it's definitely sweet, but it was so delicious that I couldn't stop bringing my wrist to my nose. I'm curious as to whether this was reformulated? Or maybe my nose has just changed that much. So naturally, I bought a big 100mL bottle on sale for 20 bucks. My bottle has also turned from clear liquid to kind of a golden colour, and the stopper was on so tight that I had to use pliers to pry it off. The pearl collar thing looks super tacky to me but the good news is that it's stretchy so it comes right off. The longevity is fantastic too! Got about 7 or 8 hours out of it - and even then, it was still faintly there. I still love the Made of Starlight flanker a little more (and don't even get me started on how amazing the two Wonderstruck scents and Incredible Things are) but I'm more than happy to finally add this one to my wardrobe.

I purchased the 30ml version of this fragrance, and was really pleased to find that the pearls around the neck of the bottle are removable, because they're on a string of elastic. This was the only element of the bottle that I didn't like- otherwise, I think it looks very cute and I love the colourful design on the top. When you first spray the fragrance, it is very fruity and quite sweet- to me it's apricot, but I get lychee as well. However, this settles down quite quickly and becomes a really creamy floral. It's not sweet in a sugary way, but rich, with just a touch of vanilla. The magnolia and orchid are definitely powerful, which I love, and carry all the way through the perfume for the 4-5 hours that it lasts. The musk and the sandalwood are very soft, and just serve to round out the fragrance. Having tried Taylor Swift's Wonderstruck perfumes, I was pleasantly surprised by this- I found them much too sweet, whereas Taylor seems more grown-up, although still young and playful. Overall, I love this, and would consider it a perfect fragrance for Summer and Autumn days.

Let me start with the bottle, which I adore!! The faceted jewel top, the heavyweight ribbed/ridged bottle and especially the colorful Pucci-esque design on the top...it is all so, so pretty. Vibrant and fun, but still a bit elegant! I love everything about it EXCEPT the pearls... they just seem like a filler or an afterthought. They just don't seem to make much sense. Now, the juice inside is a bit heavier and has more depth than I was expecting, but in a good way. I figured it would be an a-typical celeb fruity floral. It is a fruity floral, but in a more mature and thoughtful way.The apricot is soft and silky while the woods and hortensia are a welcome surprise, they help give this a warmer dimension, I definitely could see wearing this in the winter! This is one fruity floral you won't mistake for another. Though it does smell so darn familiar....like a long ago youthful memory. I can't place it, but to me it smells like a sweet, delicious well aged 80's type scent. But in a very good way! Well made and well done by Taylor!!

Wonderful little gem in the celebrity arena. I've already went through a bottle of this which rarely happens and got a brand new one last year. Unfortunately I do believe this has been discontinued so this will probably be the last. This scent really heats up and balloons strongly once it's on your skin. Because of that I've realized it works better during summer/hotter weather. The best way to describe this fragrance is as a warm ambery apricot. Apricot is the mainstay from beginning to end of this fragrance. If you don't like that note stay far far away. Honestly super great longevity and sillage. Performs better than maybe 90% of my more expensive perfumes. Will miss having it after this bottle so will enjoy it while it last. 9/10 rating Edited to add: Just an FYI: This perfume is in the same family as TF's Bitter Peach imo. I compared them and BP's "dupe" Bright Peach also. To be clear, none are dupes but these three could definitely be cousins. Clearly I have an affinity for this scent profile.

This is the first perfume I've ever tried and it was an instant LOVE, with every other perfume I own I needed a bit time to fall in love. Just when a smelled the cap I was enticed and when sprayed got enchanted. It is very juicy woody prominent apricot which I absolutely love. It is strong with good silage and lasting power. The drydown is less juicy, more creamy vailla and apricot. It evokes vintage memories in my had that I never knee I had, probably from a past life. I love this so much, I plan od getting hold of every bottle I can find, since it has been discontinued. The bottle is exquisit, vintage and simply beautiful. I also own Jessica Simpson Fancy Love, and even though you can find some resemblance in the drydown, they are not the same, it just doesn't have the juiciness and doesn't evoke the same feeling for me, Fancy Love is too flowery, sugary sweet, as Taylor is more juicy and fruity. I can't imagine not having this scent in my life, big LOVE.

One of my top three favorite fragrances. Maybe even my favorite cause I love it. Years ago I wore Burberry, the classic Burberry and this does smell like it, but better. Burberry never worked for me because the cedar/wood didn’t mesh well on my skin. Enter Taylor, this is such a beautiful vanilla and apricot scent. I can smell the tangerine too, with some musk. I call it my happy perfume. There’s something about it that reminds me of summertime and eating ice cream or peach cobbler like backyard barbecues and just good times. This is youthful and classy at the same time. It’s a year around scent for me. This scent can be worn by all ages whether you’re 16 or 106, it’s never going out of style. The bottle is so pretty...it reminds me of Art Deco kind of style. I’m sad it’s been discontinued. I guess I need to try Oscar Bella Essence because eventually, I’m gonna have to find a replacement once my bottles are finished.

I got this today! I was so anxious to smell this one but it's not out yet here but I have a friend who was in the US for vacation and she bought it for me. The moment you spritz it, the first thing that will hit you is litchi plus a dry peach smell and a hint of citrus. It's really fruity and fun and I love the composition of the top notes. The heart notes kick in and it's very floral. The dominant scent is the smell of magnolia petals. Then the smell of white flowers appear. Must be the peony. The vanilla orchid was kind of shy and I didn't detect much. The heart notes create this pleasant girly vibe. In the base notes, you can still smell the apricot even though it got lost in the top notes. The base notes smell woodsy and mature. Overall, it is fruity at first then floral then woodsy and mature. It's different from Taylor Swift's first two scents. This is very personal and casual and I love it.

I received a sample of this today and I'm now racking my brain trying to remember the name of the perfume it reminds me of. It was a teen, pocket money perfume here in the UK and the USP was it was sold in capsules which you broke off the tip and applied. Say circa 1994. There were two variants, a blue and a purple. Taylor reminds me of the purple one. So much so that it transports me back to being 13 and applying my capsule before heading to the local Friday night Youth Club and dancing to Take That all night. It's a young scent but there's something more sophisticated than your usual fruit-gourmand hidden in there. It gives the scent an unusual edge and the resemblance to that long-forgotten pocket money favourite is so striking that it makes me wonder if someone, somewhere isn't working a back-catalogue. After all, Gwen Stefani's Summer Cutie was a dead ringer for Tribe...

When I first got this fragrance I remember being unsure if I liked it. It grew on me the more I wore it out and now it’s one of my favorites. For me, the apricot is the dominant note in this scent. The florals come through beautifully but I can’t pick any specific one out, just the feminine blend they create. The sandalwood and wood notes stand out as well and fuse with the apricot to give an almost syrupy effect to this scent that makes it feel very retro. This scent is perfect for Summer due to the strong apricot scent. On a hot day, this scent feels like it grows and actually projects even more the longer its worn. It’s also good for early autumn days due to how warm and syrupy it feels. The bottle feels very reminiscent of the retro age. The colors and pattern on the cap give strong 50s and 60s vibes while the clear cap and pearls give it a distinct 80s vibe too.

I blind bought it because of my love for Taylor and I was instantly swept away. Fruity, floral, sweet and delicate, it reminds me of spring and new beginnings. This fragnance is seriously addictive, I couldn't stop sniffing my wrist for the whole day when I got it. It's well balanced and incredibly conforting. For some unknow reason the first time I used it I constantly could smell it throughout the day, other people also confrimed that it had a stron sillage, but since then every time it's been way more subtle. I don't know what can cause this, but I found out that it stays on clothes way better than it does on skin. My headband still smelled like apricots after 10 days! I would definitely reccomend it to anyone, it's perfect for everyday use and could totally work on special occasions. I am even considering it for my wedding this July.

Here is yet another fruity floral out of my usual wheelhouse of fragrances that smells so pretty on me. Personally, I LOVE the scent of apricots, especially fresh, ripe apricots. The apricot note in this is on the verge of over-ripe coupled with a tart dried apricot note plus a splash of juicy tangerine. The creaminess of the woods and musk are in the background, along with a poof of vanilla. My sister has a bottle of the original Burberry for Women, and yes, Taylor DOES resemble Burberry. But this winds up smelling so much better on me. And it lasts a LONG time especially in your hair and on fabric. I used to find it all the time at TJ Maxx and went through a couple of smaller bottles, and now I am using my larger 3.3 oz bottle. Taylor is now getting harder to find at bargain prices so snap it up if you find it if you really like it.

My sophomore year of high school in a bottle. I used to layer it with my Carried Away body spray from B&BW. I remember it reminding me of something I had smelled before but could never place, some kind of especially satisfying but insanely specific/difficult to describe vanillaish scent. Maybe it was reminding me of a scent one of my relatives wore when I was very young, I seriously have no idea, but I was hooked. This is also one of those fragrances whose packaging is a perfect visual representation of what it smells like. I haven't come across anything quite like it since I ran out of the last dregs of my bottle a few years ago, but Shea Moisture's manuka honey and yogurt haircare line does remind me of that mysterious familiar aspect. I might need to give Fancy Love a try because I've been missing this fragrance a lot lately.

Taylor was a pleasant surprise for me. I asked my dad to purchase it several years ago during the after Christmas sales while we vacationed in San Diego. I initially liked it when I first smelled it. I took it home then kinda hated it. It’s smelled odd in a way I can’t describe. I’m not sure what note it was but I forgot about it. Fast forward 5 years later and I’m loving this! The juice turned an amber yellow so I thought it turned and was ready to toss it but I sprayed it on and oh my! It’s sweet and fruity but the best part is the dry down. It’s floral and fruity and I feel like a smell just so dang good when I have this on. This lasts a long time as well. 8+ hours later and I can still smell whiffs of it as I move. This has been getting heavy use from me lately. I’m so glad I didn’t get rid of it.

Such a beautiful perfume!! A really nice blend of sweet and fruity with perfect proportions. You can smell the apricot straight away, which is slowly joined by the vanilla as time passes. Once the scent has settled (after about ten minutes or so), it stays the same - no surprise changes a few hours in. I wouldn't say the longevity is longer than the average perfume, however it's definitely not shorter - this lasted at least four hours, if not more, on my skin. I got about four compliments during the first time wearing this perfume - one of my friends couldn't get enough and bought it there and then on her phone after being with me for just twenty minutes...! This is definitely one I'll be reaching for regularly - a sweet, but not overpowering everyday perfume. Another great job, Taylor.

Delicious and juicy. I layer this with pretty as a peach lotion from bath and body works. It’s a wonderful daytime scent, but also a great evening get out and enjoy yourself type fun scent. It’s actually my favorite warm fun fruity scent. I also have Taylor’s Wonderstruck, I enjoy them both. So much in fact I may purchase Incredible Things. If you’re looking for a warm fruity peach/apricot type scent Taylor is a safe choice. Age range, I’d say 16 and up, definitely not too young for someone in their 40’s. Every single time I wear this, I get compliments. It’s not your typical fruity scent, this is sweet warm and fruity. I like to spray this one on my chest, that way I constantly catch whiffs of it. Perfect for Summer and Fall. Edit: Incredible things was not for me.
