Wonderstruck by Taylor Swift Eau de Parfum, $49.50

"I really like Taylor Swift, so I'm always willing to give her a chance. When her new perfume came out, I didn't have high hopes, but it was still Taylor's so I tried it. I was pleasantly surprised. This celebrity fragrance is light but not floral, and it has some earthy tones that ground the scent. Most importantly, it isn't overwhelming. I wish I could say the same for the perfume bottle. I normally love to display my bottles, but not this one. With an iridescent 'I Dream of Jeanie' effect and a tacky charm bracelet trailing off the cap, this is one perfume bottle that stays hidden in the deep recesses of my sock drawer." -- Alexis Finc, Associate Editor

I have not had a chance to try out all the fragrances, and I did wonder about the younger celebrity perfumes. But, Selena Gomez's fragrance is great and actually does not disappear so fast. Taylor Swifts is not bad either. I admire her fashion sense also. Faith Hill's is generally good also, but does not stay as long on me. I don't go for those Chanel number 5 types which stays too much with me.

More new suggestions to try out!

by Kbhaber Friday, March 8, 2013 at 06:41AM Report as inappropriate

Good to know which celebrity perfumes actually make the cut. I will be on the look out for small cheap versions of these good ones. Britney Spears fantasy is a great scent.

I see a couple of my favorites here. Nice

I usually avoid celeb fragrance but I'll admit to loving Shania by Shania Twain(UGH), and Live by Jlo.

by Bon_Bon Wednesday, December 19, 2012 at 06:55PM Report as inappropriate

I'm not a big fan of getting a celeb's perfume BUT everyone keeps saying Nicki Minaj's scent smells great, I might check that one out.

by MizzPink Wednesday, December 19, 2012 at 06:27AM Report as inappropriate

I love most of these perfumes! they are not embarassing, most of these arent sold in walmart or cvs. A lot of these are expensive! I would have liked to see more of the "lower end" like usher and ms. carey

Thank you for the BEYONCE PARFUMS PULSE SUMMER EDITION EAU DE PARFUM! :)

It seems like every celeb is coming out with a scent...Honestly, my guilty pleasure scent is "Wonderstruck" by: Taylor Swift! I hate her and her music, but I love her fragrance for some odd reason,

by josie_kurkowski Friday, November 23, 2012 at 02:07PM Report as inappropriate

I haven't tried any of these, but I've heard the Jennifer Aniston one smells great!

by Chris213 Friday, November 9, 2012 at 06:28AM Report as inappropriate

That's exactly how I feel about celebrity perfumes! Every time I like one I'm too horrified and embarrassed to admit that I do.

by schien Thursday, September 20, 2012 at 10:40AM Report as inappropriate

I do like the one by Selena Gomez of the few I have had a sample of and Taylor Swifts is fine too. I was given the Faith Hill one, but it did not last long and that is not unusual.

by evet Monday, September 17, 2012 at 11:51PM Report as inappropriate

This would have been a better article if each note in the perfumes was mentioned. I love knowing what the top, middle, and base notes are. The only one out of these that I've smelled is Wonderstruck. I think it's a bit off base for me to wear, but it's not repulsive.

by MissPoison Saturday, September 1, 2012 at 05:30PM Report as inappropriate

Love this little articlem Makes me want to go fragrance smelling with my coffee bean in toe to erase any tacky scents I might not like.

by Ydabney Thursday, August 30, 2012 at 10:46AM Report as inappropriate

This was fun to read, especially the ones I've smelt before. I love SJP's Lovely, its so flattering for any occasion. But now I want to try out Dawn and get a spritz of the others since y'all love them!

by BrookeSS Wednesday, August 29, 2012 at 05:07PM Report as inappropriate

This article was as lightweight and tacky as most of the bottles and scents. Only one (Faith Hill) gave us any real info, like the top and bottom notes. We can see for ourselves what the packing looks like. I did like some of the editors' impressions, that was fun. This must be a great staff to be on. Just give us some more substance in our summertime sand bucket. Thanks.

What a fun article! I LOVE both Boyfriend and Jennifer Aniston and I don't think it's embarrassing at all!! Some of the others I might not want to admit to, though (if I liked them--most of the others on this list I haven't tried yet).

by tallredamanda Thursday, July 5, 2012 at 06:19AM Report as inappropriate

I love the Britney Spears collection, especially Circus and Fantasy. Ihate to sound like a teeny-bopper, but they're nice fragrances.

by CaroleVonAllten Wednesday, July 4, 2012 at 08:52AM Report as inappropriate

I really enjoyed this story. It made me think twice about a couple of fragrances I'd never even considered before [Soul2Soul anyone?]. Still, a couple of the write-ups provided more detail on why the editors dislike the bottles than description of the scents inside - which, let's face it - is what perfume buying should be about. I've got enough pretty bottles on display. All around nicely done though. Thanks!

Here's another surprise, ladies. I've been a fan of the New York Yankees since the 4th grade--longer ago than I care to divulge. Recently, I received an offer for a sample of a New York Yankees perfume--there's one for both men and women. I ordered the sample as a lark, wondering what kind of scent could be promoted by a bunch of sweaty athletes. Did I get a surprise!!! I really liked the ladies scent (kind of liked the men's, but not as much as the ladies). I suggest you send for the samples on Facebook. It's really nice.

Never tried any of these parfum, now I will try them.

I'm surprised that Rihanna's Reb'l Fleur didn't make your list. I wear this and am constantly stopped by people (men and women) saying I smell wonderful and what is it I'm wearing. Same goes for Kat Von D's Saint.

This was a good article about what celebrity fragrances TB likes. Everyone has one. (Gee. I wonder if Axl Rose will have one. Yeah, right.) I have to admit I love Britney Spears' line of fragrance, moisturizers, and bath products. I just got really lucky. On-line, Walgreens was offering a Circus by Britney Spears gift set of 1 oz of Circus Perfume, bath gel and body lotion for $19.99! I didn't have to pay shipping because I bought something else I actually needed to reach $25.00. This offer was only available on-line. Circus is a very light, flowery fragrance, which is not overbearing. It comes in a really pretty pale blue round at the bottom bottle with little stones in it. This is one of my favorites. (I am a terrible collector of perfumes and fragrance.)

by CaroleVonAllten Tuesday, July 3, 2012 at 12:37PM Report as inappropriate

This provides real insight into TB's picks of celebrity fragrances. I hate to admit it, but I just love the Britney Spear's' line of frangrance, moisturizers and bath gels. I also love Jennifer Aniston's fragrance. At least I know I am on the right track. I was really lucky with Britney Spear's Circus. Walgreens had a 3 piece kit which is comprised of 1 oz Circus perfume, 12 Oz body lotion and 2 oz bath gel, for $19.99! I didn'it have to pay shipping because I ordered something else I needed that totaled $25.00. Yahoo!

I've never tried a "celebrity" scent. Maybe now I will try one...

Why are you and other writer's mortified and embarrassed to admit you like certain celebrity fragrances? You're ONLY editors. "You have been weighed. You have been measured. And, you have been found lacking!" - Sir William from 'A Knight's Tale'

Thanks for the recs! I too love Boyfriend and Wonderstruck, and have been oh so very curious about SJP's fragrance line so I'll have to check it out.

by elph37 Tuesday, July 3, 2012 at 11:39AM Report as inappropriate

i don't see what is so tacky about celebrity perfume. not all of them are great. but not all of them are bad either. I have no problems wearing celebrity perfume.

by jessica_chillcott Tuesday, July 3, 2012 at 11:25AM Report as inappropriate

as much as i love jennifer aniston, i can't say the same about this fragrance. i think it smells like a cheap lady stetson dupe! which is my all-time least favorite scents! i really wanted to like it, but, ugh!

by mecmec Friday, June 29, 2012 at 12:56PM Report as inappropriate

although at first smelling this, it does smell good, after awhile it smells like a fruit smorgasboad at a wedding! and the bees it attracts...sorry selena, i think you're a beautiful girl!

by mecmec Friday, June 29, 2012 at 12:30PM Report as inappropriate

I sprayed this on myself at aWalmart just to see if it good as I had heard. I didn't care for it one bit. I walked around the store the rest of the time wishing I hadn't sprayed it. I slfrlt it was a cheap "Hooker -tish type of perfume. I do not recommend. Sorry Beyonce!

I do love SJP's Lovely.

Gosh I'm so in love with Jennifer Anniston perfume. Love her too though.. lol but the perfume smell really nice.. my perfect kind of perfume..

by yuliana_ho Wednesday, June 13, 2012 at 07:00PM Report as inappropriate

I don't think I'll ever buy any celebrity perfume...Not judging others though, it's just that I'm not a fan. I stick to upscale and more quality fragrances like Issey Miyake Scent.
