fruit punch in a can
I had almost blind-bought this one because the bottle is so adorable, but I never saw it at a price I'd be willing to pay for a blind buy. Now I feel glad about that. I was doing an errand at a Sears store today & saw this, so I had a spritz.

There's a fruit punch in the US called Hawaiian Punch that has been around since the 1930s and proudly contains FIVE PERCENT fruit juice. Its original and best-known flavor is "Fruit Juicy Red." It's understandable that it is described by a color rather than a flavor because one can't pick out any distinct type of fruit in it.

For the first two hours, Wonderstruck makes me feel like I'd spilled some Hawaiian Punch on myself. Not unpleasant, but nothing found in nature. It also had a slightly metallic aspect that made me think of the tin cans that HP used to come in. After that, the fake fruit dies down and there is a pleasant hour or so of soft artificial vanilla. I don't love the vanilla phase but, since it has no sillage at that point, I at least don't feel ashamed to be an adult woman wearing it.

Luckily for me, I also find the bottle cheaper-looking and a less vivid blue in person, so I won't feel the need to buy this for the bottle.

BBW meets woodish, amberish aromachemicals
As Taylor Swift WONDERSTRUCK hit my skin I was filled with memories of the Bath and Body Works collection. This seems a lot like a mixture of a couple of their signature scents. Maybe MIDNIGHT POMEGRANATE plus SENSUOUS AMBER plus a dash of VANILLA SUGAR? I'm not sure exactly, but I do think that the fragrance quality is also at about the BBW level.

WONDERSTRUCK is sweet and synthetically fruity, but it will appeal to anyone who likes the BBW fruity scents, with one caveat: lurking in the base is the currently popular pseudo-cedar-pseudo-amber stuff which I for one do not like. If it works for you and you also like purple fruits, then perhaps you could wear this scent. I would rate this as about average among celebrity launches. Not entirely unwearable, but nothing that I'd choose to wear.

The purple fruit aspect reminded me initially of a cross between one of the Britney Spears fragrances and Juicy Couture COUTURE COUTURE, which makes sense perhaps since this, too, is an Elizabeth Arden produced perfume.

A slightly more mature fruity floral than what you may expect
I'm not a huge fan of Taylor Swift, yet I was intrigued by her fragrance. The bottle does absolutely nothing for me, but the scent is another thing entirely. I would actually go so far to say that Wonderstruck is one of the better fruity florals on the market.

The scent opens with sweet, candied berries, soft peach, warm vanilla and a soapy hint of freesia. It's a little bit on the gourmand side, with a berry sorbet feel. Despite its sweetness, I find this fragrance versatile enough to be worn by all ages.

It wasn't what I expected, and in some ways, the composition and the way it smells is quite unique. It's really easy to wear and enjoy. I'll agree that Wonderstruck tends to be a much more mature fruity floral than what is being offered these days.

The composition is unfortunately quite linear after awhile, being mostly sugared berries and creamy vanilla throughout. Which is not a necessarily bad thing I must admit. The longevity does however leave much to be desired. Wonderstruck had all but faded away after only three hours on my skin.

In terms of what teenagers might start wearing this Spring and Summer, I do recommend Wonderstruck to avid Taylor Swift fans and those fruity floral lovers. I'm hoping this fragrance does well, because it deserves some accolade.

Others do much worse
"Wonderstruck" comes in a cute bottle, but it doesn't smell as cutsey or unpleasantly sentimental as I expected. After a very fruity start, the fragrance takes a warm, slightly nutty, vanilla-ambery direction. Very artificial, you might say and I wouldn't object. But given the low price and the "genre" (we're looking at a celebrity scent aimed at a very young audience of fruity-floral lovers) you could do much worse. I tested the latest "Christina Aguiliera" yesterday, a scent called "Unforgettable" and decided that this nondescript fragrance of hers doesn't even deserve a review of its own, just this rant: How could one use the word "UNFORGETTABLE" for such a "meh" juice? I still remember Avon's "Unforgettable" and my heart aches...
But enough, I digress. What I wanted to say is: "Wonderstruck" isn't a masterpiece, but it's more memorable than many other celebrity-releases. And Taylor Swift (or Arden?) even came up with a name of their own which stuck/struck.

A soapy, fruity-fresh "purple" tea
I've loved Taylor and her music from when she first started until now. But I somehow never smelled her perfumes when they came out. After finding a sample of this recently, I was STUNNED by how gorgeous it is.

It's simple, but so refreshing: the tea note is perfectly balanced with the raspberry, and there's a subtle hint of peach and sweet but soft musk. It smells purple for sure (the darker berry and the cool tea note) - but actually also smells clean, refreshing, and a little soapy to my nose.

Probably not blind buy friendly (definitely recommend getting a sample first) - but I personally love it!

As a side note: Olay Outlast Orchid & Black Currant Body Wash (in a 3 pack at Sam's Club) smells VERY similar to this perfume + can help make it last longer.
