For Women
Like a garden at dusk, velvet petals and warm spices warm the air—Vanderbilt opens with crisp aldehydes, fresh fruit and a veiled citrus-green burst, blooms into an ornate bouquet of rich florals, and settles into a base humming with vanilla, woods, and exotic resins. It’s vintage glamour with heart and depth.

Scent Story
Vanderbilt opens with a sparkling surge of aldehydes, pineapple and bergamot, softened by lavender and green notes—fresh yet rich. The heart blossoms into a dense floral tapestry: tuberose, jasmine, rose, ylang-ylang with spicy carnation and earthy orris root weaving warmth and elegance. As it dries down, creamy vanilla, sandalwood, cinnamon and resinous opoponax combine with musk, vetiver and civet, leaving behind a soft, lingering signature that feels classic yet powerful.
Wearability & Lifestyle
Best for evenings, cooler weather—autumn, winter or crisp nights—when its richness can bloom fully. Ideal for formal dinners, special gatherings, or when you want to wear a scent with character and nostalgia. Pair with jewel-tone dresses, silks or velvets and statement pieces for depth and elegance.
