Vanderbilt Perfume by Gloria Vanderbilt 15 ml Eau De Toilette

Goes on a bit strong, but powers down into an extraordinary powder scent. Glad it was available online as hardly ever see it retailed anymore. Never found a scent as marvelous, although Red Door is a good substitute but at three times the cost.

Celebrity fragrances can be a whole lot of name recognition minus a lot of quality. Pay for the name yes I understand! But, I won't buy fragrances that smell like the inside of a botany experiment gone wrong. I think most women (famous or no) wear fragrance(s) they like and politely re-gift the 'elixar' that smells like droopy flowers number 9. I never had that problem with this soft and incredibly versatile scent. By versatile I mean I've had family members and friends request "something light and not overpowering--like such and such!" I've contributed to gift baskets where the recipient says the same thing.I'm tempted to buy a gift card and say 'Spritz away!" A few years ago I bought this in the gift box version. I sprayed it, I liked it and I thought (relief actually!) THIS is what family members/friends are describing! Gloria Vanderbilt reminds me of an older scent gently nudged or re-formulated to fit the times. Pretty and long lasting . It doesn't race you to the room if you know what I mean. Gentle and discrete. I still buy this for the scent sitters who say "just buy something LIKE....." Gloria Vanderbilt? Good season! Thank you!
