PowderyWhat does Vanderbilt (Eau de Toilette) smell like?
Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick autumn and winter, with spring next and summer trailing. It is favoured for evening and nights out, though it is also worn by day and at work. Most voters read it as feminine and classic.
The top opens bright with bergamot, pineapple, lavender and green notes lifted by aldehydes. The heart is filled out by rose, ylang-ylang, carnation and orris root. In the base, vanilla, cinnamon, sandalwood and musk settle over civet and vetiver, leaving a sweet, spicy, woody warmth. Its profile is close to Guerlain Samsara and Rochas Byzance.
