“Vanderbilt” by Gloria Vanderbilt Eau de Toilette (Tester) is a timeless amber-floral composed by Sophia Grojsman, blending airy aldehydes and fruits with a powdery floral heart and a warm, classic base. Launched in 1982, it remains an elegant everyday signature.

This EDT opens with a sparkling mix of pineapple and citrus over soft aldehydes, blooms into jasmine, rose, tuberose, and ylang-ylang, then settles into vanilla, sandalwood, and a gentle touch of spice and resins. Versatile and comforting for day or night.

Bottle Description: Round clear glass etched with the iconic swan motif, topped with a gold-tone cap—instantly recognizable on any vanity.

Tester packaging: Tester units are intended for retail counters and typically ship in a plain box; presentation may vary. 

At Perfumes LA, we recommend it for classic, powdery-floral lovers seeking an affordable, elegant day-to-evening wear.
