Taylor Swift’s Favorite Perfume

Taylor Swift is America’s sweetheart. She’s tall, blonde, beautiful, and sings like an angel. She started off her career as a country singer and even won the Country Music Association Award for New Artist of the Year back in 2007.

Woman of the Decade

Last year (2019), Taylor was awarded Billboard’s Woman of The Decade award. She used her time during her acceptance speech to talk about her life in the music industry. She described her songs “Mean”, “Shake It Off”, and “Blank Space”, as satires, or expressions of fighting back the rumors people said about her.

Taylor explained that when she won Album of the Year for “Fearless” at the Grammys in 2009, at the age of 20, she was the youngest person to ever do so, in the history of the Grammys, but with it came criticism and backlash. She spoke of how women in the industry are picked at for their bodies, romances, and fashion choices.

Basically, Taylor got on that stage and spoke her mind about how women deserve to be where they are, due to the hard work they put in. Because of Taylor’s attitude, millions of girls and women all over the world admire and follow her, listen to her music, and copy her makeup and fashion, trying to emulate the star.

Taylor Swift’s Romances

Taylor is also very well known for her romantic relationships, as she dates very high-profile men, and she usually writes about them in her songs. The list of men she has dated includes “Twilight” star Taylor Lautner, music superstar John Mayer, A-lister Jake Gyllenhaal, Harry Styles, and Tom Hiddleston, among others.

So one can only wonder, what perfume Taylor Swift wears when she’s on these romantic dates with these gorgeous men. In fact, it would be nice to know what she wears when she’s up on stage, or even just on a daily basis. So let’s see…

What Perfume Does Taylor Swift Wear?

Flowerbomb by Viktor & Rolf – The Scent of a Woman

Well, Taylor has a strong personality but looks like a delicate flower with her crystal blue eyes, pale skin, rosy cheeks, and soft blonde hair. She’s sure to wear perfumes that make her stand out, so let’s find out what they are!

One of Taylor’s favorite perfumes to wear is Flowerbomb by Viktor & Rolf. The perfumers behind it are Olivier Polge, Carlos Benaim, and Domitille Berthier. It is a stunning perfume, which was launched to the public in 2005, as an oriental fragrance.

The scent is captured in a stunning bottle shaped like a hand grenade, like a little bomb that “explodes into a bouquet of sensations,” according to Viktor & Rolf. It has a silver stopper, and a black flower on its side, and the liquid inside is a pale pink.

Notes and Longevity

The top notes of this stunning floral explosion are bergamot and green tea, which draw you into the heart notes, consisting of pure Sambac jasmine, freesia, Cattleya orchid, and Centifolia rose (a rose that looks like a pink head of cabbage, majestic and glorious). The base notes are musk and patchouli which make it smell milky and powdery. Flowerbomb has excellent longevity and sillage, lasting up to 12 hours on the skin.

Occasions

It is perfect to wear during the winter at night but suits the daytime too. It’s suited for spring and fall as well, but not so much for the summer.  It is the kind of perfume to wear on dates and in dance nightclubs, as well as on special occasions like weddings and bridal showers. If you wear this at work, you will definitely get noticed by the opposite sex.

Taylor by Taylor Swift  – Taylor Captured in a Bottle

Taylor by Taylor Swift is a very personal perfume that the singer wears, designed by her, and created in her name. The perfume came out in 2013 and its perfumer is Harry Fremont. It comes in a long glass bottle, and the stopper looks like a glass disco ball, with a ring of pearls underneath.

Notes and Longevity

This is quite a sweet perfume, just like Taylor herself. The scent opens up with top notes of magnolia, tropical lychee, and citrus tangerine. In its heart, you will find hydrangea, peony, and delicious vanilla orchids. Its base notes are cashmere musk, softwoods, sandalwood, and apricot. Its longevity is around 7 to 8 hours, and it has a strong sillage.

Occasions

This is a fragrance that is very suitable for the day, during spring and summer. It’s perfect for picnics and brunches with your friends. It’s also a lovely, sweet perfume to wear on a first date. It’s not the kind of perfume you would wear for important work meetings – leave that for more mature fragrances.

Santal Blush by Tom Ford – A Sexy Statement

Tom Ford has been in the fashion industry for decades, and Taylor Swift loves his Santal Blush fragrance. The bottle is elegant, in a rectangular shape, with fragrant beige liquid inside. This unisex perfume was introduced to the public in 2011, and its perfumer is Yann Vasnier.

Notes and Longevity

This is an oriental scent, and it has top notes of Indian spices, carrot seeds, cumin, cinnamon, and fenugreek. In its heart lies ylang-ylang, rose, and jasmine. Its base includes benzoin, cedar, oud, musk, and Australian sandalwood. It has average longevity, lasting 4 to 5 hours with a mild sillage. This is a perfume that needs to be carried with you in your handbag – but well worth it for its stunning scent.

Occasions

Taylor has worn Tom Ford’s Santal blush on several occasions, including her Reputation “secret sessions.” It suits fall and winter well, and nighttime events best. It’s perfect for the red carpet, and special occasions like weddings, and can be worn for important work meetings. It’s great to wear when getting intimate with the one you love too!
