What does Vanderbilt in Red smell like?

It begins with pear, pink pepper and bergamot: the pear brings a sweet fruit note, while the pepper and bergamot keep it lively. The heart of jasmine, red rose and blackcurrant builds a floral core. Vetiver, musk and vanilla then settle it into a powdery, sweet base.

Longevity is good and sillage moderate, so it is noticeable up close without filling a room. Most voters pick spring and summer, followed by fall. Daily wear, leisure and the office lead the occasions. Câline Bouquet Pink and Jil Sander Style Soft have a close profile.
