A very classic smelling, feminine perfume. Smells very similar to Oscar. I can't pick out any of the flowers distinctly (not good at that), but it's an unmistakably floral perfume. Used in small doses, it's not nearly as bad as some people here say it is. It's true it's not modern or innovative, but it's still nice and lady like.

this aroma is alike Red Moscow
but in the last, carnation more soft on a smell, and aroma more proof

Vanderbilt is memory scent for me and like many other scents from my past I can't wear it now. Actually I'm not crazy about it. I wish I would be crazy about it, because I can still find it for little price. It's a feminine, very powdery scent, quite original for that time. It was average scent for average ladies, something good and clean that smells somehow refined. Not sexual, maybe a little sensual. EdP was different and much more intense than EdT, while EdT was easy to wear.

There was a time when everyone was wearing it i my school and it was the only reason I didn`t buy a bottle. Now I am ready because I feel nostalgic and I also feel that I entered a perfect age for it. Yes, it`s heady,it is super-floral, it`s pure eighties and all that...but it is, indeed, unique. I knew people who over-used it and killed it`s feminine charms in the root - but I also knew girls who wore it as a rose in their hair, and let it make them beautiful.It creates an aura of vibrant, glorious sensuality.The drydown is like a bath of milk among blooming flowers and incense burners...
The price is way too good, too!

This perfume brings me memories of my childhood,as my sister used to wear it in the eighties.
For me, Vanderbilt smelt so womanly, so sensually that nowadays still represents for me the quintessence of femininity. When I was old enough I started using it and I'd always get compliments from people. It's a timeless scent that will never go out of fashion. It's sweet but not in a gourmand way, I'd rather say it's musky or ambery. It's all about universal womanliness, regardless of age. A must-have classic, too bad it gives me terrible headaches, so I don't wear it anymore -but I love keeping a bottle on my shelf to have an occasional and nostalgic sniff.

Found this one in my mother's room and wanted to wear it without asking for her permission, but after lifting the lid, I thanked myself for not having acted faster: the smell was so horrible and headache-giving! I don't understand how anyone (except an 80 years old once-upon-a-time fashionable woman)could like this one. It is quite a pity of its usually pleasant notes(pineapple, tuberose, jasmine, ylang-ylang, vanilla, cinnamon) because they are mixed in such a bad manner

A true knock out scent. Overpowering and overly sweet, it gives me an headache even when I smell it on other person.
I don't get any of the top notes, just the base ones, which are lovely but this particular misture is a killer.
Great if you want to leave a trail or get noticed, but this can be negative as well.

This is probably one of the first perfumes I ever owned and I think it is still a beautiful perfume. It really is feminine. I sometimes still smell this on other women here and there and I think it really has stood up to the test of time. I know it gets a bad rap because it is older and inexpensive, but it doesn't mean that it isn't a lovely fragrance. It's really a complex perfume in some ways and it is one that I can always recognize when someone wears it-it is distinctive and pleasant. Brings back great memories and is still just so pretty. I agree-this one is a classic.

I wore this many years ago. It was average then and average now. Nothing special.Cheap!

The funny thing with this perfume was that everybody complemented me for it, but I hate Orientl perfumes so I didn't care much for it.

Hi guys. I am not sure whether it is my nose or the fragrance has been re-orchestrated?
I was pleasantly suprised to find it in the department store recently but somehow it smells different from what I remembered!

I'd rate this 3.5 stars out of 5. On my skin Vanderbilt is pure carnation, mimosa, rose, and other spicy floral notes. When I wear Vanderbilt (to steal a line from West Side Story) I feel pretty- oh, so pretty! Vanderbilt is uber-feminine! I've had Vanderbilt in my wardrobe since I was 11 years old. A classic!I plan to buy another bottle soon.

Had it for a few times already. I plan to buy more, of course. Quite strong and distinctive. The expiration is quite acceptable for that price. Good relation of price and quality.
