Gloria Vanderbilt Vanderbilt Eau de Toilette 15ml Spray

Gloria Vanderbilt Vanderbilt Eau de Toilette is a 15ml oriental-floral fragrance for women — a classic 1980s composition in a compact, handbag-friendly format. Created by celebrated perfumer Sophia Grojsman, it remains one of the most recognisable scents of its era.

About Vanderbilt

The Vanderbilt fragrance, launched in 1982, was the debut perfume from American socialite and fashion designer Gloria Vanderbilt — composed by Sophia Grojsman. The result is a beautifully classical oriental-floral that captures the polished, slightly opulent aesthetic of 1980s perfumery, while still feeling wearable and inviting today.

Fragrance notes

• Top: aldehydes, orange blossom, pineapple, lavender, bergamot, green notes
• Heart: carnation, tuberose, ylang-ylang, orris root, jasmine, rose
• Base: vanilla, sandalwood, cinnamon, opoponax, musk, civet, vetiver

How it wears

The fragrance opens sparkling and slightly fruity — aldehydes lend a polished, vintage-style brightness against juicy pineapple, soft lavender and orange blossom. The heart turns into a generous, classical floral bouquet, with orris root adding a soft, slightly powdery facet. As it dries down, vanilla and opoponax bring warm, oriental sweetness, while cinnamon, sandalwood, musk and vetiver round the composition into a sensual, long-lasting trail.

Who it's for

Vanderbilt is for women who love classical floral-oriental perfumery — wearers who appreciate the polished, slightly opulent character of vintage-style fragrances, fans of 1980s scent classics. The 15ml format is also a smart, handbag-friendly size for daily carrying or travel.

How and when to wear it

Vanderbilt is at its most flattering through autumn and winter, when the warm vanilla-and-spice base really comes through. Spray onto pulse points.
