Taylor Swift's Wonderstruck Vs. Wonderstruck Enchanted

Hey There! A little fact about you may not know about me is that I am a huuuuge Taylor Swift fan (or a ‘Swifty’ if you will)! It is because of this I, like many, went through the major dilemma of not knowing which one of her two perfumes to purchase (huge crisis, I know!) Luckily enough I received the ‘Wonderstruck Enchanted’ perfume recently for Christmas and my sister receives the ‘Wonderstruck’ original. So, to help out future Swifties or perfume lovers going through the same dilemma, I have comprised a little review and comparison of the perfumes to assist you in make your final decision!

** The notes I personally perceive as the most dominant have been written in bold**

Wonderstruck
Official Blurb: ‘In this fragrance, [is] a charming and sparkling surprise of vibrant fruits kisses a bouquet of soft petals and a touch of sweet indulgence.’
Head Notes: Blackberry, Raspberry, Freesia, Tea, & Apple Blossom
Heart Notes: Vanilla, Honey Suckle & Hibiscus
Base Notes: Musk, Sandalwood, Amber & Peach
Packaging: A muted purple, rounded bottle, with a really original iridescent, reflective finish. It comes with a chain of three golden charms around the neck of the bottle; a open cage, a bird flying and a spiked ball structure.

 Personal Synopsis: This perfume is a very fun and a lot lighter than Wonderstruck Enchanted, but in saying that it is still a very noticeable/stand out fragrance. I believe it would be great for daily wear especially in the warmer months. It is a very sweet, so it may not be everyone’s cup of tea but it wears nicely! It is definitely a fruity scent and I assume it is targeted at younger audiences (sorry to all the senior Swifties).

 Wonderstruck Enchanted

Official Blurb: An irresistible blend of luscious wild berries and sugar-glazed petals are wrapped in a touch of sensuality for a captivating signature.
Head Notes: Passionfruit, Poppy & Wildberry
Heart Notes: Peony, Champaca, Sugar & Freesia
Base Notes: Musk, Woody Notes & Vanilla
Packaging: A crimson red rounded bottle, with the same iridescent, reflective finish. It also comes with a chain of golden charms around the neck of the bottle.

 Personal Synopsis: This perfume is a lot deeper and richer than the original Wonderstruck so it is perfect for the colder months or would work perfectly as a night time scent. I would consider it sweet and fruity although more mature as it is a little warmer and spicer, so even the eldest of Swifties can wear it!

The Verdict: These two perfumes do carry some similar traits including the sweet berry and sugary notes as well as the vanilla and slight woody undertones. I will just put this out there right now; if you are not into the sweeter scents then I recommend you steer clear of this duo. If you are intending to wear this on a daily basis I would recommend going for the original Wonderstruck or for a more luxurious ‘special occasion’ scent the Wonderstruck Enchanted may be a more appropriate choice. The lasting power for both is moderate; it gets through just about the whole day in fact! I personally prefer the original Wonderstruck mainly for the peachy and a freesia notes. I’m sure I don’t need to say this but obviously everyone’s taste in perfume is different, what one person loves another person may hate, so I highly recommend grabbing a sample of each, keeping them for a few days and then deciding which one you’d prefer.

 I hope this has helped some of you make up your mind & please share your thoughts of these two fragrances in the comments; I would love to hear from you!

P.s. I am a bit torn; are these posts of a good length or are they getting too long? Please let me know!

What I Got For Christmas 2012!

Hey There! I hope you all had yourselves a very merry Christmas. I just wanted to share a few beauty related gifts I received over the festive season. I have already tried out all of the products (because I’m way too impatient & couldn’t resist) and so far I am more than happy with all of them. In saying that, before I do broadcast a review on any of these products I will definitely need to get more use out of them to get a thorough and accurate opinion. Without further ado; here are the gifts along with a quick blurb that came with the products:

The Benefit ‘Perk Up And Away!’ Gift Set:

Posietint (Full Size 12.5mL) – A poppy-pink tinted lip & cheek stain

Dandelion (Full Size 7.0g) – A brightening face powder

Watt’s Up! (Full Size 9.4g) – A soft focus face highlighter

The Porefessional (Tester  7.5mL) – Pro balm to minimise the appearance of pores

MAC Lip Pencil in ‘REDD’

Bobbi Brown Corrector in ‘Light to Medium Bisque’

Taylor Swift ‘Enchanted Wonderstruck’ (100mL) – Containing notes of wild berries, pink poppies and passion fruit as well as white musk, vanilla and blonde woods.

Chanel ‘No. 5’ (100mL) – Containing notes of aldehydes, ylang-ylang, jasmine, bergamot and musk, although this perfume is incredibly hard to pinpoint an exact description as it is just a classic

Marc Jacobs ‘Daisy Eau So Fresh’ (Travel Size 20mL + 15mL Refill) – Containing notes of grapefruit, berry, pear, litchi and green notes

I was so overwhelmed with all of these gifts and I can tell you they made me one very happy girl! I was probably most excited about receiving the Chanel No. 5 perfume as it is just gorgeous and I was very upset when my last bottle ran out, as well as the Garnier BB Cream, the Bobbi Brown Corrector and the Benefit Watt’s Up!

Please comment down below and tell me what your favourite Christmas gifts this year, I would love to hear from you!
