STUDIO ALBUMS
If you are wanting to venture away from Taylor’s signature perfumes, here are some top women’s perfumes as well as some unisex fragrances that evoke the aesthetic and vibe of each of Taylor Swift’s music, albums and eras. She has a total of 10 studio albums, each of which has a distinct aesthetic, so the range of scents you can give as a perfume gift from this list is diverse and vast.
DEBUT
(soon to be Taylor’s Version)
Let’s start with her debut Taylor Swift (soon to be Taylor’s Version).
Released in 2006, Taylor’s debut album at only 16 years old had a country-pop aesthetic with her youthful and relatable lyrics. “Tim McGraw” was her introduction to the music industry and our introduction to her music. “Our Song” is quite possibly the perfect lyrical capture of the youth of so many people. It portrayed a wholesome younger version of teenage life and love. Whimsical dresses and cowboy boots!
The re-recording of her namesake hasn’t been released yet, but we will update and link it when it does. In the meantime, here are the fragrances that meet that aesthetic and are perfect for both young and more seasoned Swifties.
Daisy by Marc Jacobs
Ralph by Ralph Lauren
Coach Signature Eau De Parfum
FEARLESS
(Taylor’s Version)
Awashed in gold with tassles abound, we think of the patented Fearless spin!
Originally recorded in 2008 this album is a timeless classic that beautifully captures the magic of a young woman in love, wide-open fields, and the feeling of being “Fifteen” and invincible.
It was the album she chose to first re-record, releasing “Fearless Taylor’s Version” in 2021, and no wonder. This brilliant album clinched the Grammy for Best Album in 2010, solidifying Taylor Swift’s superstar status. It has some of her most memorable songs and whether or not you are a Swiftie, we know you have belted out the “Love Story” chorus at least once.
The following fragrances remind us of this album.
Viva La Juicy by Juicy Couture
Lovely by Sarah Jessica Parker
Flower by Kenzo
SPEAK NOW
(Taylor’s Version)
Originally released in 2010, she just dropped “Speak Now Taylor’s Version” in early 2023, taking back her purple wonder of an album. Written completely by Taylor with no collaboration, it showcases her songwriting prowess and embodies personal growth, fairy-tale romance, and a sprinkle of whimsy.
The following fragrances remind us of this album.
Flowerbomb by Viktor & Rolf
Princess by Vera Wang
Romance by Ralph Lauren
RED
(Taylor’s Version)
This album was originally released in 2012, with “Red Taylor’s Version” being her second released re-record in 2021. It was a pivotal album in Swift’s career, focusing on heartbreak, passion, and intense emotions.
It contained arguably her best song to date with the original of Swift’s song “All Too Well.” The re-record allowed her to put the 10 minute version on the album, and the legion of Swifties made it the longest song to ever hit number 1 on the Hot 100.
These perfumes and fragrances remind us of this album.
Lady Million by Paco Rabanne
Viva La Juicy Noir by Juicy Couture
Gucci Guilty
1989
(Taylor’s Version)
In 2014, Taylor Swift transitioned to full-fledged pop and became an instant pop star, exuding a sense of liberation, self-discovery, and empowerment. Although “Shake It Off” is maybe the song most people are familiar with, this is a “no skip” album. Every song is amazing. It deservedly won the Grammy for Best Album in 2016.
Many Swifties were brought into the fold with this generational-defining album. Her re-record and release of “1989 Taylor’s Version” is now out and the album is linked above!
These are the fragrances that reminded us of this album.
Black Opium by Yves Saint Laurent
La Vie Est Belle by Lancome
Bright Crystal by Versace
REPUTATION
(soon to be Taylor’s Version)
Originally released in 2017, Rep is that girl. Taylor’s villan era. Rep Era Swifties can’t wait for the release of the re-recorded “Reputation Taylor’s Version” and fully support that, so we will link the re-recording to this post when it drops!
This album was made to be heard in concert – it is jawdropping live. The vibes, energy and spectacle is just everything! It was also in this Era that Taylor began seriously having fun with her fan groups by dropping easter eggs in her albums, appearances, songs, etc.
Here are the fragrances that evoke this essence.
Black Orchid by Tom Ford
Hypnotic Poison by Dior
Alien by Thierry Mugler
LOVER
Released in 2019, “Lover” is an ode to love, friendship, and colorful dreams. A departure from the energy in Rep, Lover is a delightful mix of pop and indie influences, filled with positivity and romance.
It got a bit lost in the shuffle since it was released just as the pandemic was hitting, but it is a great album. The Swifties still mourn the loss of Loverfest, the tour that was set to start just as the world shut down. It arguably was also the era most channeled in the outfits we saw during the Eras Tour, as a lot of people chose this aesethetic!
We have listed below some perfumes inspired by “Lover.”
Daisy Love by Marc Jacobs
Burberry
Light Blue by Dolce & Gabbana
FOLKLORE
Released during the dead of summer in the height of the pandemic of 2022, it is safe to say that everything about the surprise drops of “Folklore” caught all Swifties off guard. This woodsy, folksy, autumn vibe-channeling, absolutely brilliant album is on regular repeat.
“Folklore” marked Taylor Swift’s enchanting venture into indie folk and alternative rock, weaving a tapestry of introspection, storytelling, and a touch of mystique. Her songwriting on this album is incredible. The academy recognized as much, and deservedly awarded it Album of the Year.
Perfumes inspired by this album capture the album’s introspective and melancholic atmosphere, much like a “Mirrorball” on a quiet, “August” night.
Wood Sage & Sea Salt by Jo Malone
Santal 33 by Le Labo
Khamrah by Lattafa Perfumes
EVERMORE
In the same year, 2020, Taylor Swift surprised her Swifties again with “Evermore,” a sister album to “Folklore.” It continues the exploration of indie folk and alternative rock, providing a sense of continuity and expansion of the stories from the previous album.
“Willow” was its first single and has the sleeper hit “Champagne Problems” which many feel is the best song on the album. Perfumes inspired by “Evermore” often contain notes of cozy firesides, warm amber, and a hint of wildflowers, capturing the album’s sense of continuity and rustic charm, much like an “Ivy”-covered “Long Story Short.”
Maison Francis Kurkdjian Oud Satin Mood
Lovely Cherie
Ombre Leather by Tom Ford
MIDNIGHTS
In August, 2022 Taylor released Midnights, an album about her sleepless nights and sweet dreams. The album reverts back to her autobiographical style, with a focus on reminiscing from different times in her life.
Swifties sent this album straight to the top of the charts. It was on repeat for weeks, and we are entirely convinced that the astounding Maroon actually casts some type of spell. It is truly hypnotic.
It is also the birth of the lyric “make the friendship bracelets” which then took off among her fan base in the exchanging of friendship bracelets during the Eras Tour.
Here are some amazing fragrances that reminded us of Midnights.
Bloody Wood by Liquides Imaginaries
Angel’s Share by Killian
Lady Vengence by Juliet Has a Gun
The Tortured Poets Department
The Tortured Poets Department Ghost Double Vinyl Album
Smack dab in the middle of the Eras Tour, Taylor announced another one of her surprise releases with a new album, which turned out to be a double album when it was dropped!
The Tortured Poets Department is a slow burn. Lyrically intense with seemingly minimal production, this was not an album that immediately hooked us. It’s a thoughtful, introspective album that is more of an acquired taste, growing in depth and appreciation the more we listen to it.
Like Folklore, this album definitely channels a cool fall day with hot tea and a cozy sweater type of vibe – released right as summer is about to hit! We imagine this playing on a cozy night while we get curled up with a well-worn book of classic poetry. Imagine flickering candlelight illuminating handwritten verses filled with love, loss, and the bittersweet beauty of human experience.
Here are some fragrances that give us TTPD vibes:
Gypsy Water
Indigo
