Distilled morning light
I didn't expect... I have to admit, I actually like it. Despite the tuberose, despite the 80s. It contains ingredients I hate: the aforementioned tuberose, civet and opoponax. Reading the fragrance pyramid makes me feel more like "nothing fits front and back!"
In Vanderbilt, I recognize a continuation of the aldehyde fragrances of the first half of the 20th century, this ethereal "soapiness". It makes me spontaneously think of all the shower gel scents that are around these days, especially in the men's section. Is that perhaps how the aldehydic scents used to be perceived? Sporty, clean, put-together? Effectively, today we still carry that note of "I just washed and I still smell like the wash", just a little differently, just as washing preferences have changed.
Vanderbilt is no longer as purr-fect, as cuddly as the aldehyde scents before it (that I've encountered), but has a much more tart build. The soap is now pure white, washing powder lightly, but nru a bit, as white flowers now shine above it with a brightness that stands out.
Oh, you tuberose, what a spell you can cast on one, whether one likes you or not.
I was expecting an 80s orienne that creaks and screams about, but that's not Vanderbilt.
Somehow it's very delicate - like a stained glass window through which light splits into rainbow colors. It's a warm light, a morning light that wafts in powdery ylang-ylang aromas carried gently by vanilla, cinnamon and sandal.
Yes, morning light. That's how the scent works on me. Morning light distilled into a scent. A yellow scent that welcomes the new day.
The scent of a confident woman who is not just "X woman" and never will be. The tuberose is a clear announcement! At the same time, the wearer of Vanderbilt has a sensual side - she is not a power woman who only allows herself to wear pantsuits to appear powerful & masculine. No, no, she is in touch with her femininity and is not afraid to be herself. She is in balance, and from that she draws her strength.
