Spring is in the air...grab it!
This is amazingly similar to Burberry Woman but it is a tad sweeter and more feminine in my opinion. Burberry Woman has the cedar note and maybe that is why I´m experiencing a unisex feeling. I prefer Taylor Swift to Burberry Woman but both are fabulous fragrances with good stayingpower.

A real surprise for me!
I received “Taylor” with my last online order from the turquoise perfumery and was initially very skeptical, as the average rating here on Parfumo did not bode well. Accordingly, I hesitated to test the fragrance at first. Eventually, I mustered the courage and experienced a real surprise!

The scent starts off very fruity with faint flowers in the background and is quite sweet. A thought immediately crossed my mind: “This smells like Mira Bai by Chopard!” I must say that Mira Bai has been one of my absolute favorite fragrances since its release; I wore it repeatedly for 15 years whenever it was warmer. The last bottle ran out almost a year ago, and now it is only available as a rarity at exorbitant prices. So I had already come to terms with that topic internally.

The fragrance pyramids of the two scents are practically dissimilar, yet I cannot shake the thought even after wearing it for a while. In Mira Bai, the peach dominates, while in Taylor, it is the apricot nectar that I can clearly perceive right from the first spray. Combined with the flowers, it results in a very similar scent. I wouldn’t call Taylor a dupe, rather a scent sister. A tad sweeter than Mira Bai, but the similarity is hard to deny.

Taylor is fruity, sweet, lightly floral, creamy - it fits wonderfully for spring. The longevity for me is average; I can perceive the scent for about 4 to 5 hours.

I actually wanted to steer clear of celebrity fragrances in the future. Most smell somehow intrusive and cheap in the base... But that’s not the case here. The scent simply fades quietly without becoming unpleasant. So much for staying away - I am seriously considering getting a small bottle. I have found a replacement for Mira Bai, and I cannot just leave that on the shelf!

"I'm feeling 22"
~ Inspiration ~
Recently, I became aware of the Taylor Swift perfumes and got myself a sample. I heard that it is supposed to smell like cotton candy and a fair.

~ Bottle ~
The shape itself is okay, I just find the colorful mess on the top inappropriate, as well as the pearl ring. The design has something of a spinning top, but I can also understand the comparison to a circus (tent) well. She chose the name "Taylor" to give the perfume a personal touch.

~ Scent ~
It starts fruity-sweet with lychee and apricot nectar. Mangolias, peonies, hydrangeas, and vanilla orchids give it a floral presence, which, however, is quickly caught by warm woods and creamy cashmere musk.

~ Longevity ~
On my skin, it lasts only about 3-4 hours (on clothing and hair maybe a bit longer). 1-2 sprays are already enough, as it becomes too sweet and synthetic for me otherwise.

~ Occasion ~
It fits best in spring and autumn, but also in a mild winter. It can be worn just as well during the day as in the evening.

~ Conclusion ~
Very sweet, but unfortunately not a true cotton candy scent :(

genius
I ordered a free fragrance sample via Facebook, waited for weeks and hoped, waited and hoped, and today finally a small white envelope was in the living room. I opened it, sprayed this fragrance on.... I was initially disappointed, I have to admit, I had heard much better things about this scent. But then, after a short time, it became so pleasant and seductive, actually just as I had imagined it. Now I just have to present it to my boyfriend; if he likes it, a big bottle will be purchased!

wonderful
I also ordered one of these fragrance samples during the aforementioned Facebook promotion.
The design (both in color and in the arrangement of shapes) reminded me from the very first moment of a circus - the scent captivated me instantly - cotton candy and surprises - like from another world.
I immediately ordered a large bottle of it and wear it with great pleasure. Good mood guaranteed ;)

The first sniff: celery. I am not kidding. Then it dried down into a vanilla-y celery. Too offbeat for me.

Like a mix of Mira Bai and Burberry for Women. Pleasant and the longevity is absolutely acceptable at 5 hours.

So far, I've only tested it on fabric... this creamy-powdery apricot-clean scent lasts forever there! A feel-good fragrance for leisure, more suited for summer days.
