Wonderstruck

DISCONTINUED FRAGRANCE REVIEW NO.#8 / 10. THIS IS SO DAMN GOOD. I said what I said. Look, Perfumites - I'm a "Wonderstruck Enchanted" girl through and through! The sweetness, fruitiness, and joy of it brings warmth to my cold heart during the Blizzards-of-Boring-Perfumery we all occasionally experience. I initially thought the "Wonderstruck" OG was one of them with its quite synthetic (a clear plastic note) and a muddled blackberry/strawberry mix with nothing else. O, I am Fortune's fool! #shakespeare I know these are celebrity scents and, therefore, generally uninspiring, but I gotta say - I got turned around on this! From the bottle, I mostly get blackberry carbonated water from a plastic bottle. Basically, some plastic synthetic note with unsweetened blackberry and...fizz! On skin, a *BEAUTIFUL* raspberry comes out that is sooooort of similar to "Miss Dior Absolutely Blooming" (be still, my beating heart!❤). The raspberry is sweet and classy, essentially. The tea is mellow and adds a herbaceous quality to it which makes me think of nature and enjoying the weather outside. I *love* the apple blossom in here and I'm (lazily) searching for other scents that carry apple blossom. The inspiration! I don't get huge vanilla...or maybe that's the "raspberry" sweetness. For the heart notes, I get straight-up hibiscus. Becoming slightly tropical, but without cloying anyone out with coconut, sunscreen, or rum. Calm down - nobody needs to get excited just because rum was mentioned. On the dry-down, I definitely get peach. Now, nothing is better than a gorgeously-ripe stone fruit. Peaches, nectarines, plums, cherries, mangoes, apricots. Taylor Swift's "Taylor" perfume has the *best* apricot scent, so go check it out. Point being, stone fruit can be amazing. For good perfumery and good eats. Additionally, I get sandalwood for subtle creaminess and musk for a warm coziness. Unlike "Enchanted", this is less sweet and, as such, potentially more wearable for different situations. I fine it's good for any season as well as both day/night. It's fun without being aggressively flirty. It's fruity without being immature. It's relaxing without being a snooze-fest. This lingers on my skin for a good 4-5 hours, and on my clothes for 5-7 hours. The bottle is bomb. Girly, juvenile...yet whimsically bomb. I love this and am supremely displeased it's discontinued. It's fast climbing the ratings ladder of perfume love. I need more back-up bottles! *** Kitty rating: 9-9.5/10.

Wonderstruck is one of those fragrances you simply can’t help but fall in love with. It’s a sweet gourmand, but there’s something uniquely captivating about it from the very first spritz. I own a lot of fragrances, and nothing else in my collection ever felt quite like this. The opening is a burst of berries and pure magic — it really does have that fairytale enchantment people talk about. I’m not someone who knows a lot about fragrance notes, but this one grabbed me immediately. I originally bought it for $6.99 at Marshalls, a tiny 15 ml bottle, and I still kick myself for not using it more. I must have sprayed it only two or three times before I decided I would use it only sparingly and save it up for "worthy, going out to impress" occasions (why do we do that? I have lost count of the amount of fragrances I have let spoil because of this mentality). Now, of course, it has become collector's nostalgia: if you got it, you got it — and if you didn’t, you wish you had, because getting it again comes with a hefty price tag. It’s whimsical, precious, and honestly unlike anything else I’ve smelled. If you enjoy berry-forward gourmands, sweet but not overpowering, youthful yet not a “teen” perfume, and the kind of scent that gets you noticed without overwhelming a room — this was that fragrance. It makes people think, “What is she wearing?” in the best possible way. If a fairy godmother existed, she would be wearing this, all clad in a lavender tulle or taffeta gown, it is reassuring, and benevolent, like a new classmate that everyone gets to love instantly. Even after all this time, the remaining notes that linger in my now-old bottle still show how special it really was. And the bottle itself deserves a mention: the holo-glitter effect that catches the light in both sunlight and dim light, the dangling charms— it looks like something out of a fairytale, almost like a little enchanted potion. Wonderstruck truly was magic in a bottle, and I miss it every time I think about how little appreciation and love I gave it..

I bought this perfume In August from a reseller because I thought the bottle was gorgeous, and it actually has a lot of my favorite fragrance notes. My favorite fruity notes are raspberry and blackberry and my favorite type of floral note is freesia so this worked out really well. When I first sprayed it I was a little underwhelmed but when it dried down I fell in love. My nose picks up a lot of blackberry and raspberry, tea and freesia. I definitely get more black berry then raspberry. I do smell peach and apple blossom but not too much. I don’t really smell any vanilla. To me this perfume smells like I’m drinking blackberry/raspberry iced tea but with freesias. This fragrance is blended so nicely and smells so smooth. When I wear this I just feel like I smell good and know I smell good. It’s so wearable and and it’s just such a great smell. I have a lot of expensive perfume but this celebrity fragrance smells better than a lot of them. I love this perfume so so much but I don’t know if it’s worth $300 like some people are charging only because its silage isn’t great. I would say it’s stronger then a skin scent but softer then a lingering type of scent. I have tried some dupes for it like gingham vibrant and Kayali Eden juicy apple, both great fragrances but I wouldn’t say either are dupes for Wonderstruck or the enchanted version. The best dupe I’ve tried for this is Lost in ink by Oakcha. I would say they are 98.5% dupes, the only difference is the Oakcha one is just a teeny tiny but sweeter and the Oakcha one has better silage. Honestly I don’t think people would really be able to tell a difference. Overall I LOVE this perfume it’s one of my favorites! If you can get your hands on this for a reasonable price I would purchase! If you have to choose between this and Wonderstruck enchanted I would recommend the regular one even though I love Wonderstruck enchanted just as much!

In my opinion, the antithesis of every generic tween pop girl fruity floral. I don’t know how else to describe it but this perfume smells like sparkling, shimmering fairy dust. It’s warm, where most fruity-florals have a juicy, cooling freshness. Dragonflies, morning dew, an ornate brass key from an antique store, Juliet’s balcony, pressed flowers tucked away in a storybook with gilded edges, and raspberry juice on your lover’s lips come to mind. I can’t explain it, but there’s something very distinctive about this perfume. I’ve gone through about three bottles between age 12 to now, and she just has something to the heart of her that I, as someone who measures a fragrance not by its notes on paper but how it makes me feel and what it makes me see in my mind’s eye, have been unable to find anywhere else. Even in her flanker, even in Taylor’s subsequent releases, even in “dupes”, even in perfumes she may or may not “smell kind of like”. Maybe it’s a sort of girlish wonder that only existed in a very specific time frame. I’m the same age now Taylor was when she released this perfume. I remember being ten and having Speak Now loaded onto my little cheap-y mp3 player, getting up at the crack of dawn in early spring and listening to it on the backyard swing set, imagining vivid stories that went along with each song and dreaming of what the future would bring. I get a nostalgic feeling when I dip into my waning bottle. One spritz on the wrist before bed when I need to remember simpler, more magical times. Scent is a wonderful thing.

I purchase this wondestruck 100ml in lazada philippines for 30$usd. I was shock when it was delivered on my house.. I was like wtf why the box is so small for 100ml.. Unlike the other celebrity perfume who had a big box for bottle protection..but i love the printing. It has a golden printing with a metalic blue color and a beautiful design. And when i unboxed it. I feel little amazed about the bottle. For me its nice and reminds me of indian bottle. I like the blue metalic color of the body of the bottle that when put on the light.it will release a rainbow colors that reminds me of universe!! With golden print in the middle named by wonderstruck taylor swift Its weird! I also love the gold necklase with a 3 pendant. It has a spiky star, bird cage and a dove. And it has a heavy metalic gold. With a lot of imperial design. So i love bottle but little disappointed on box. And about the scents!i sprayed it once on my wrist. It has a blast of rasberry, blackberry, peach,tea, vanille and musk. Its so crispy candylicious.. Its sweet,little bit citrus and crispy! The sillage is enormous but gone quickly. The longevity was last for 3 hours on my skin. Scents are pretty generic but good for young teenager. Its a happy scents for me. That makes me feel like i was showered by the pool of melted crispy sweet-sour candy. I recomend this one for teen ager but not for 25 and abouve.. Its a cheap but good fragrance.
