The Eras Tours in Singapore sounds like a long time ago but the Swiftie excitement still hasn’t died down; everyone who has gone for the concert are still talking about it.
While post-concert blues is real, there’s nothing a little retail therapy can’t help. Or in this case, aromatherapy. There’s nothing quite like spritzing on a gorgeous scent, especially when it’s one that Taylor Swift herself wears.
Read on you’re curious about the fragrances she uses!
Tom Ford Santal Blush Eau de Parfum
Thanks to late-night host David Letterman, we already know that she smells like “expensive wood.”
There are whispers about how her signature scent also carries hints of sandalwood and cinnamon— so folklore!
These speculations were confirmed in her 2020 Netflix documentary, Miss Americana, where fans caught a glimpse of the luxurious gold bottle of Tom Ford’s Santal Blush on her dressing table backstage.
Even though it was surrounded by other tour necessities such as makeup and mints, it didn’t go unnoticed by devoted Swifties.
Santal Blush has a blend of warm and earthy notes comprising of sandalwood, cinnamon, and ylang ylang. It’s gentle and comforting, reminiscent of a warm fireplace, yet alluring and elegant, much like the Taylor we know today.
Tom Ford Santal Blush Eau de Parfum retails from RM1,525.76 and is available on zalora.com.my.
Viktor & Rolf Flowerbomb Eau de Parfum
OG fans of Taylor Swift may be aware that she didn’t always prefer warm fragrances. In the early days of her career, she was more inclined towards feminine, floral fragrances such as Viktor & Rolf’s Flowerbomb.
Flowerbomb bursts into a captivating mix of floral notes, including jasmine, rose, peony, and cattleya. It’s playful and flirtatious, a lively and bold scent that perfectly matched the younger Taylor.
Viktor & Rolf Flowerbomb Eau de Parfum retails from RM680 and is available on Sephora.
Tom Ford Tobacco Vanille Eau de Parfum
Taylor seems like quite the fan of Tom Ford’s fragrances, as yet another one of their perfumes has found a spot on her vanity.
This time, it’s the captivating and alluring Tobacco Vanille, which combines smoky and sweet aromas with a touch of spiciness and creaminess.
As you take in the first whiff, the scent of tobacco leaves and blossoms intertwined with vanilla, cacao, and tonka beans will immediately captivate your senses. You’d notice delicate hints of dried fruits and wood linger on your second whiff.
Tom Ford Tobacco Vanille Eau de Parfum retails at RM1190 and is available on perfume-malaysia.com.
Taylor Swift’s Discontinued Perfumes
A decade ago, Taylor’s signature scent was quite different from the sophisticated woody fragrance we associate with her today. She used to wear her own line of perfumes in collaboration with Elizabeth Arden.
Between 2011 and 2014, she introduced five fragrances: Wonderstruck, Wonderstruck Enchanted, Taylor, Taylor Made of Starlight, and Incredible Things. Although these scents were extremely popular at that time, they are no longer in production.
Wonderstruck was the most beloved out of the five, featuring sweet notes like raspberry, peach, and vanilla. Similar to the song that inspired it, Enchanted, this fragrance exuded a fresh and sweet floral aroma, reminiscent of a magical first love.
If you want to get your hands on these discontinued treasures, your best bet is to search through online marketplaces like eBay for a sealed bottle. Due to their rarity, the prices for these fragrances have skyrocketed, with some fetching hundreds of dollars.
