The story behind the bottle.
Vanderbilt by Gloria Vanderbilt, launched in 1982 and created by Sophia Grojsman, is an Oriental Floral fragrance that introduced Grojsman's signature soft, plush 'hug me' musk-and-white-floral accord. This blend of aldehydes, tuberose, jasmine, and rose creates a warm, enveloping scent that has garnered a devoted grassroots following over the years. Known for its affordability and ease of blind buys, Vanderbilt remains a classic choice among fragrance enthusiasts who appreciate Grojsman's craftsmanship.
Apply Vanderbilt with a light hand — the musk-and-white-floral accord is designed to cling close to skin rather than fill a room. The scent blooms within an hour, so it's best worn when you want to feel wrapped in warmth and comfort.
