Taylor Swift Launches First Fragrance, "Wonderstruck"

This news is actually a few years too late, but Taylor Swift has finally jumped on the celebrity bandwagon of stars-who-put-their-names-on-bottles-of-perfume and is launching her first fragrance.

There needs a handbook on how to be famous. 1) Must have talent 2) must have great bone structure 3) must be willing to launch at least one fragrance line.

Taylor Swift has partnered with Elizabeth Arden to launch the signature fragrance, “Wonderstruck.” The name is inspired from a lyric from one of her songs, “I wrote the lyric, ‘I’m wonderstruck, blushing all the way home,’ for the song ‘Enchanted’ about the first time you meet someone. A fragrance can help shape someone’s first impression and memory of you,” Taylor reveals.

So why does a country star want to create a perfume? Taylor says it’s because “wearing perfume is such a unique way to create memories. Like songs, a scent can take you back and allow you to relive a moment in time.”

Yes, this is very true. Every time I smell Burberry’s “Summer” fragrance, I am reminded of that time I blacked out and vomited at a Chevron. Good times.

“Wonderstruck” is a gourmand floral scent of vibrant apple blossom and raspberry with vanilla, honeysuckle and white hibiscus. The scent will hit department stores in October and the smaller bottle will run about $50.

The perfume comes in a gold and purple bauble with three charms at the neck of the bottle: a Moravian star, a dove and a birdcage, because an un-caged bird is always a metaphor for something.
