Taylor Swift's perfumes are luxe in a bottle—so we found a dupe

Apr 09, 2024

Entering our chic-smelling era, thanks to Taylor Swift's perfume go-tos...

Clearly, sussing out Taylor Swift's lipsticks just wasn't enough for us, as we've also done some digging into the singer's fragrance collection and let's just say, Taylor Swift's perfumes are right up there with the best perfumes.

Luckily for all our Swifties out there, Taylor isn't just a lover of one signature scent but two, meaning if the first doesn't tick your boxes, the second just might.

Both scents feature a blend of warm florals, making them the perfect scent for fall and beyond and while they are on the luxe side, we might have also found you a dupe for one of them...

Taylor Swift wears to iconic perfumes, Viktor&Rolf's Flowerbomb and Tom Ford's Santal Blush.

Taylor's fave floral scent

RRP: $96 for 1 fl oz

With notes of jasmine, orange blossom, rose petals, patchouli and vanilla, this scent is perfect for lovers of warm and floral aromas. It's a cult classic for a reason and with Taylor's seal of approval, you can't go wrong.

Taylor's go-to skin scent

RRP: $185 for 1 fl oz

With notes of cinnamon bark oil, ylang-ylang and Australian sandalwood, this perfume is perfect for anyone looking for a new fall scent or signature skin-like vibe.

Flowerbomb dupe!

RRP: $24

Shoppers have dubbed the After Hours mist the ultimate dupe for Flowerbomb thanks to its expensive-smelling mix of jasmine, amber woods, pear nectar, patchouli and blackcurrant.

The first of Taylor's fave floral perfumes we're going to break down is Flowerbomb. This scent is sweet and floral but also spicy, thanks to its hints of jasmine, orange blossom, rose petals and patchouli, laced with vanilla.

It's a cult classic for a reason, though it is definitely pricy, with a one fluid-ounce bottle setting you back $96. Thankfully though, Sol De Janeiro has come through, with yet another affordable replica to rival their Barracat 540 Rouge dupe.

The fragrance in question is the new Sol De Janeiro After Hours perfume, which fans have dubbed a very close match to both Flowerbomb and YSL's Black Opium, all for just $26. Not bad eh?

Now onto the other perfume in Taylor's life—she's also said to wear Tom Ford's Santal Blush, which if you ask us, is a true 'Quiet Luxury' scent.

It's on the woodier side, compared to Flowerbomb, with its chic and autumnal mix of cinnamon bark oil, ylang-ylang and Australian sandalwood—very Folklore-coded. It's also described as a 'skin scent,' so if you're looking for perfumes like Glossier You for instance, or Le Labo Santal 33 (which also features Australian Sandalwood), this could be a great option for you.

We'd also just like to state for the record that Harry's Style perfume is also from Tom Ford...so, yep we're going to let our delulu take that as a sign from the universe that Style ft. Harry Styles is a sure thing.

Getting back on track, price-wise Santal Blush is definitely an investment buy, as it costs $185 for one fluid ounce. As mentioned though, it's a warm, woody skin scent—which is very popular right now—so something like Glossier You or Dossier's Woody Sandalwood could also fulfill the assignment.
