Gloria Vanderbilt perfumes: A taste of luxury

As a style icon, Manhattan socialite and inheritor of the massive Vanderbilt industrial fortune, Gloria Vanderbilt is sometimes described as the 'last daughter of the gilded age'. This air of opulence, as well as Gloria's hometown of New York City, inspired all of the Gloria Vanderbilt perfumes you see in this category. Although they contain different notes and are suitable for different occasions, each one bears a trace of their namesake's elegance.

The most iconic Gloria Vanderbilt perfume is Gloria Vanderbilt eau de toilette, an amber floral fragrance that debuted in 1982. It's an interesting, unusual and brilliant creation that makes the most of its heritage and the popular scents of the day to maximum effect. The most notable inclusion in its scent profile is aldehydes - the soapy, frosty smell that graces the very best perfumes of the early 20th Century, from Chanel No. 5 to Lanvin Arpège.

That frosty smell reflects well against the warm base, which is heavy with vanilla, cinnamon and sandalwood. The middle of the perfume uses florals to find a fine balance between the two, with sweet tuberose meshing with spicy carnation and wood-inflected ylang ylang forming an amazing accord.

Another leading Gloria Vanderbilt perfume for women is Minuit à New York. This eau de toilette is light, sweet and bouncy. Tuberose once more makes an appearance, this time as a top note in combination with pink peony and white lily for an early floral pop. It becomes more nuanced in the heart notes with fragrances of gardenia, jasmine, violet and hyacinth adding powdery and green nuances to the overall mix. As it dries down into the base the perfume becomes woody with a blend of sandalwood, patchouli and lesser spotted amberwood providing a balsamic twinge that's simply divine.

Discontinued Gloria Vanderbilt perfumes

At present, it seems like the Gloria Vanderbilt perfume line has fallen dormant. The last fragrance to bear the Vanderbilt name was released in 2016 and there's no mention of perfumes anywhere on the official Gloria Vanderbilt website, either. With Gloria herself passing away in 2019, it seems unlikely that we'll see any new Gloria Vanderbilt fragrances, at least none that appear any time soon.

That means it's vital that if you're a fan of any of the perfumes in this category you should act soon. A discontinued perfume is a collectible fragrance after all, and it's only a matter of time before even our outstanding sellers run out of stock. So whether you desire the subtle white florals of Jardin à New York or the soft, sweet and powdery taste of Rêverie, you'd better add them to your basket now!
