Wonderstruck Enchanted by Taylor Swift

Taylor Swift has been a giant pop star for a long time now. Add to that, her fragrance line has been around for about a decade, as well. Her Wonderstruck perfume was a rousing success, and was followed up by today’s review entry, Wonderstruck Enchanted.

Enchanted was released back in 2012. How does this T. Swift fragrance smell? What are the notes? How long does it last? Is it even worth a buy?

Update: Coming back to this years later, Taylor’s perfume line has been defunct for a long time, with no new releases since 2014.

My Full Review

Enchanted Wonderstruck begins with a burst of sugary berries and passion fruit. The berries occupy about 80% of the fruit blend, to my nose, and the rest to the more tropical aroma.

Very sweet and juicy, but I find it to be fun and delicious. Underneath, these fruit notes is an array of flowers. The floral notes, aren’t too noticeable for me, until about 5 minutes in. Then, I do get poppy and some peony. Still, they’re quite light in the composition.

Most of this wear, is going to be a fruity/floral, with emphasis on the fruity part. Once the initial fruit wave has passed, you start to get some musk, and creamy vanilla.

At this point, it becomes more of a berry and vanilla blend, with passion fruit playing very little role at all. It tones down a lot of the excesses of the sweetness, in terms of the fruitiness. But, the sugar will start to dissipate, as well.

This is most of what you’re going to get from Wonderstruck Enchanted. A woody base, does emerge, to give this fragrance some grounding.

However, it is still completely led by berries, vanilla, and musk. The floral notes are around, but pretty much just blend into a non-descript aroma.

Sillage, Longevity, and Versatility

Sillage wise, this isn’t a very strong fragrance. The projection isn’t going to make its way throughout a room. You can spray it fairly heavily and it will settle down closer to the skin, pretty quick.

That being said, the longevity was actually good for me. It was hanging around for 7-8 hours, at that point, it’s more about vanilla. Nonetheless, that’s still a great length of time, for the type of scent this is.

Seasonally, Wonderstruck Enchanted is cold weather dominant. It can venture into spring, but I’d keep it out of the heat. That sort of thick sweetness, will melt. But, within the colder months it is a very nice aroma and well worth a shot.

This Taylor Swift perfume definitely skews towards younger women. It’s not too childish or anything, so, someone older could wear this casually. Think wearing this to school, for casual wear, just to feel cozy, maybe a date. It’s not a formal sort of fragrance.

Overall Impression of Wonderstruck Enchanted

Overall, do I like Enchanted? I actually do enjoy this Taylor Swift perfume. The berries smell awesome, I know not everyone likes the sweet stuff, but I certainly do.

While I like the juicy fruit opening act, I particularly like when the vanilla and berries get to mix in the dry down. What a delightfully warm gourmand.

It’s not a super powerful fragrance or one that really projects all that much, but it actually provides solid longevity. Just an all around attractive wear for colder days, geared toward the younger set.

I believe that Wonderstruck Enchanted has been discontinued, so, you’ll have to grab a bottle online. It was inexpensive when introduced, but when supplies get limited, that can change. However, for the right price, this is a worthwhile try.

I wouldn’t pay a high price for it. If you’re getting close to designer prices, that’s probably too much. For a cheapie, this is a great winter sweet wear for a younger woman.

2023 Update: Yep, prices have officially gotten crazy for the limited bottles left. I’ve seen them selling for almost $200 a pop. Unless you’re a collector, it’s not worthwhile, at that price. Shame, this was a great value perfume, at one time.
