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.

I'm a big Taylor fan but I'm also picky with perfumes so I'm not biased. I don't get how people bash her personally when her perfume has nothing to do with her music and talent. But I digress. I do really enjoy this perfume. It's not extremely unique but I wouldn't call it generic either. It's pleasant and easy to wear. I don't think it's comparable to VS perfumes or Bath and Body works body splashes as some reviewers have mentioned. I seldom like those, but I really like wonderstruck and wonderstruck enchanted. They do have a similar DNA, but they're different enough to detect instantly. Wonderstruck definitely has more of a tart/sour opening. It's not a foul sourness though. It's just tart and kind of fresh. It mellows out within an hour. The fruits and florals are balanced well. I don't like heavy floral scents so I appreciate that this one leans more fruity, but you still can detect the florals. The tea note is really nice. It gives the scent a warm/coziness to it. It's sweet, but not sickly sweet like some other perfumes I've smelled. I would say wonderstruck enchanted is sweeter, but the wild berries are really the star of that perfume along with the vanilla. Overall, wonderstruck is really versatile. It can be worn daily and during all seasons.

I think I already reviewed this but... I worked at a fragrance store years ago and I remember this smelling like "fairy dust" and being in love. The bottle was beautiful and the smell was amazing, but it wasn't flying of the shelves like Britney or Paris Hilton fragrances. I think people might've connected it to the avalanche of celebrity fragrances that were bad and just didn't try it. I always gave this as a sample and people loved it, until I said it was Taylor Swift. Once her last fragrance, Incredible Things arrived in small bottles, I knew her fragrance line folded, and indeed, she never came out again with a fragrance. One thing is for certain: this smelled so above the average celebrity line because it actually told a story. A random fact is that I was at a brunch with my best friend and she invited some people from work over. One of them used to be a beauty correspondent (2010's) and they flew to see Taylor perform live and interview her about this fragrance. She said that Taylor seemed incredibly hands-on in the process of making it and knew the fragrance from top to bottom (from the scent to the box). I thought that was cool.

I have commented on Wonderstruck before and have now snatched up a small bottle for few Euros in a drug store yesterday because of my cravings that none of my "socially accepted grown-up" fragrances can satisfy... Initially I wanted a bigger bottle because of the charms but I'm being more smart about my perfume purchases as of late - knowing I'll eventually never use it up. Probably... Although the crimson enchanted version is tempting... ;) Wonderstruck is a wonderful girly fragrance that is perfect year-round except maybe extremely hot days. Longevity is very good, it lingers on the skin for a good 8 hours before it's completely gone. However sillage is noticeable weaker around the 4 hour mark, but that's ok. It truly smells like a fresh cup of fruit tea (as noticed by pearlbelle also), even a bit christmassy! Also, as soon as the fruit & vanilla explosion in the top tones down this is more clean than expected and the tea does linger throughout wearing, another revelation. No need to explain how beautiful the bottle is. EA, Givaudan and Taylor did a great job with this! PS: Boyfriend loves it, that's always a plus :)

So, this is my first time actually owning a celebrity fragrance (not counting my Britney Spears Fantasy Stage Edition sample). I haven't had a great experience with celeb scents as a teen. I used to just assume they were all the same sort of generic fruity floral weak longevity cocktails, that are somehow still cloying and headache inducing. That, and this scent seems to be a little polarizing, so initially I wasn't sure about purchasing it without sampling first. However, I found it on eBay for a good price, so I decided to risk it. I'm so incredibly glad I did. I love tea and knew that this had it as a note, but I didn't realize that it would be this strong. Maybe it's just my nose in particular, but for me, the tea takes center stage in this perfume. I can see how it may get a bit overwhelming for some people, so go easy on the sprays. It is not a cool refreshing tea, but a warm, intensely sweet fruit tea. Delicious, and such a cute bottle too! This has changed my idea of what a celebrity perfume can be. I'll probabaly pick up its Enchanted flanker as well as the Britney Spears perfume.

This is a really lovely sweet perfume. I remember I owned this years ago but vaguely remember the smell. I do know that I prefer the overall scent more than Britneys Fantasy although Fantasy lasts longer. This perfume sadly doesnt last long but it smells sweet,creamy and comforting. I actually got a compliment from a guy (he was one of those clipboard sales people who stop you the street to get you to join their charity.He thought I was older ;)). I don't know if you get them in the US but I live in the UK.I had oversprayed and this was on a rainy day and the wind probably made it project. Its discontinued in England and I cant find it anywhere. I actually wanted to try get a bottle again but couldn't find any. I guess its just as well because this perfume is tied to uncomfortable almost sad memories. This scent is naive and I can't relate to that. I don't know why I had an urge to find it again but I'm quite glad I didn't. This perfume is not cloying like I find with Britneys Fantasy and the bottle is soo beautiful.

This was my signature scent for about a year. What really impressed me with this fragrance was it's sillage & longevity. It's easy to find a scent you like but even harder to find one that lasts & projects off of your skin during it's lasting hours. I do wish it was more upwards of 8+, but 4-5 hrs is still considerably long. It smells like warm sugared berries but the green tea note is what really makes it pop & adds a unique fresh touch. The fragrance stays about the same on me from the initial spray all the way to it's dry down - it's only change is that it does develop a bit sweeter when the vanilla reveals itself more. Normally my boyfriend isn't a fan of sweet perfumes but he really enjoyed this one & he was the one that even bought me a full-size bottle! I'm not sure if it's because they discontinued this fragrance and have low stock..but it's really expensive now! I'm not willing to pay such a hefty price tag for it. We had a lovely run that I truly enjoyed but I'm moving on to other perfumes because of it.

I first got a 1ml vial from fragnet and i fell in love with the scent immediately. i love fruity notes and this one opens immediately into a juicy fruit salad with a touch of creaminess. after a while it fades into a sweet musk with fruity touches, but its longevity is limited to only a few hours. It feels like being a teenage girl, listening to a cd while doing makeup at a cluttered vanity, getting ready to go to school. I used that vial up so quickly and I've missed this perfume every day since I was insanely lucky and got a slightly above half full bottle from eBay for less than half of the current asking price (still close to the most I've paid for a perfume) and i regret nothing. Still smells as great as i remember. I wear it occasionally, but given the resale price, i have a 5ml decant hiding in a drawer for special occasions. she is my prized possession and i could never let her go

I've loved Taylor and her music from when she first started until now. But I somehow never smelled her perfumes when they came out. After finding a sample of this recently, I was STUNNED by how gorgeous it is. It's simple, but so refreshing: the tea note is perfectly balanced with the raspberry, and there's a subtle hint of peach and sweet but soft musk. It smells purple for sure (the darker berry and the cool tea note) - but actually also smells clean, refreshing, and a little soapy to my nose. Probably not blind buy friendly (definitely recommend getting a sample first) - but I personally love it! **As a side note: Olay Outlast Orchid & Black Currant Body Wash (in a 3 pack at Sam's Club) smells VERY similar to this perfume! If you use that in the shower, it can help make this perfume last longer.

I can’t find this anywhere in perfume shops 😟 this is a shame because I used to wear this perfume so much in high school and I’ve had about 3 bottles. People say Fantasy was their high school/college perfume but this to me was superior in every way! This scent is sweet, fruity and floral. I pick out the white tea accord in the fragrance and it adds a very nice delicacy to the overall scent. The fruits add a sweet juiciness, the floral add the feminine and sensual feel and the vanilla gives it a delicate touch. Overall, it’s just a really good perfume that has a decent longevity and low silliage which makes it suitable for work. I really hope I can find it in shops!

I think this one might be my most complimented perfume EVER! I don't know if it really agrees with my chemistry or if it's simply a crowd pleaser but it definitely has a fixed place in my collection. Wonderstruck is very heavy on the berries but also quite syrupy and warm. The sandalwood and vanilla pair beautifully with it. I am super picky when it comes to sweet fragrances and this one despite the sugar frenzy opening, tones down to an enjoyable gourmand. It's super fruity and fun. I think this makes for a great date night scent and the longevity and silage are excellent. For a reasonably inexpensive celebrity fragrance, I really think this is worth trying out!

Nostalgia in a bottle. It encapsulates perfectfully how the song "Enchanted" sounds to me. Sparkling, bright fruity notes such as raspberry, peach and tart apple blossom on initial spray. Dries down to a lingering warm, fruity vanilla. I remember opening it on christmas back when I was 11/12, and being so excited seeing how enchanting the iridescent purple bottle was. I found it again recently while tidying, and my gosh, instant nostalgia. It reminds me of simplier times when I would douse myself in it before going out with my friends shopping for the first time, experiencing my first crush, and family holidays in the summer making flower pressings.

First time I ever bought a perfume (well, my grandmother bought it for me as a gift, but I asked for it) after smelling a sample in a magazine. I was about thirteen. It is very fruity and because of the age I was when I discovered it, I tend to associate it with being a "teen" scent. It's not enough that you smell like a fruit stand; the vanilla and flowers hold it down. I still have it and use it from time to time. The main issue is that it doesn't last very long, but that seems to be a problem with celebrity scents in general. I have a small spray bottle and body lotion of this I've been trying to get rid of, so PM me if you're interested.

Wonderstruck smells how "Enchanted" sounds. Its coy sweetness dazzles, evoking a twilit evening: blushing as you sip the remnants of a cup of hibiscus-blackberry tea, served in the finest china you've ever laid eyes on, alongside a handsome former stranger/soon-to-be lover on a cashmere picnic blanket spread just outside the ballroom doors, down the stairs, and underneath the grand apple blossom tree that marks the entrance to the estate gardens (and further beyond, the peach grove). A swoon-worthy, ceaselessly beguiling fragrance that I—as a day one, '06 Swiftie—feel incredibly lucky to own a 3.4oz bottle of.

i don't get why this has to be discontinued :(( this is how i literally imagine a pretty girl to smell like, it's soft but not so sweet which makes it perfect for everyday wear regardless of the season too. it reminds me of a berry-based pie plus vanilla flavoring plus a slight hint of jam inside to give it a syrupy undertone. and i think the original commercial for this perfume captures its overall vibe really well. if it was meant to show what love at first sight feels like, then this was basically the perfume equivalent for that. 9.5/10

I'm testing out my little bottle 30ml today, I got it for a steel, only 4.90 Euro, and I LOVE it!!! Almost anything is said about this true beauty, and I agree with all of it's fans. My only regret is that I should have grabbed two bottles when I was standing there, or the lot, they also had it's sister, "Enchanted", there was two bottles there as well, but, there wasn't any testers, - what a cow I am, but my excuse is that I just recently have discover that celebrity scents are also marvellous!!!
