Miss Vanderbilt

Miss Vanderbilt by Gloria Vanderbilt, released in 2010 and composed by Sonia Constant, is a spicy floral listed as feminine. Floral is the accord every wearer names; most also find it spicy, some describe gourmand, musky and citrus sides, and a minority note a woody base.

The notes are listed together. Bergamot and clementine give a bright, sweet citrus opening, with neroli adding a green orange-blossom freshness. The heart is a rich bouquet of rose, tuberose, magnolia and ylang-ylang, with hawthorn adding a slightly almond-like, powdery touch. Cloves, nutmeg and cardamom give the composition its warm spice, a carnation-like glow through the middle. The base of vanilla, tonka bean, heliotrope, sandalwood and musk is soft, sweet and powdery.

The spice and vanilla point to autumn and winter, evenings and dressier occasions, though the citrus keeps it wearable by day. It suits people who like warm, old-fashioned spicy florals with a powdery finish.
