Taylor Swift surprised fans with her double album The Tortured Poets Department: The Anthology, featuring deeply personal and revealing lyrics. One standout track, “Florida!!!,” includes lyrics about her friends smelling like weed or little babies and the city driving her crazy. Inspired by this peek into Swift’s famous squad, which includes Blake Lively, Selena Gomez, Gigi Hadid, and Hugh Jackman, here’s how to smell like weed, little babies, and a bonus option: The City.
To capture the scent of weed, there are several fragrances on the market that incorporate cannabis notes. Malin + Goetz’s Cannabis Eau de Parfum offers an earthy and warm scent that is sophisticated and adult. Byredo’s Open Sky and Boy Smells’s Cowboy Kush provide more creative interpretations of the weed scent, while Dries Van Noten and Loewe also offer their own versions. Dries Van Noten’s Cannabis Patchouli comes in a stunning green glass and dark wood bottle, while Loewe’s Scent of Marihuana is available in candles and room sprays.
To smell like little babies, Dior’s Baby Dior line offers a soft floral water perfume with notes of pear, rose, and cotton. For a more figurative interpretation, fragrances with vanilla notes can evoke the scent of breast milk. Prada’s Infusion de Vanille Eau de Parfum and Pafums de Marley are popular choices for vanilla-based scents. Additionally, personal experiences can inspire scents like Dedcool’s Milk Enhancer, Santa Maria Novella’s Iris fragrance, and Glossier You, which evoke clean, skin-like scents.
When it comes to capturing the essence of The City, fragrances dedicated to New York City offer a variety of scents. Bond No. 9 has built a business around New York-inspired fragrances, with scents for different neighborhoods. Designer Gabriela Hearst also has a scent inspired by New York. While New York may not always smell fantastic, fragrances like Le Labo’s Tubereuse 40, known as the city scent, and 19-69’s L’air Barbes, which includes notes of concrete, aim to capture the essence of the city in scent form. Other popular fragrances like Santal 33 have become unofficial representations of New York through the years.
Taylor Swift’s new album provides insight into her life through revealing lyrics, including references to her friends and the city. By exploring fragrances that evoke the scents of weed, little babies, and The City, fans can immerse themselves in the world she describes in her music and enhance their own olfactory experiences. Whether through earthy cannabis notes, floral baby scents, or urban-inspired fragrances, there are endless possibilities to capture the essence of Taylor Swift’s world through scent.
