Vanderbilt for Men

I had this perfume soooo long ago. It’s incredible that i stumbled upon its picture here on Fragrantica and brought back so many memories. I remember enjoying wearing this scent. Very clean, fresh and masculine. And being a EDT was performing incredibly good. I would like to reconnect with this. Would definitely buy a bottle if i find one. I don’t know if it’s still produced tho.

Vanderbilt for men has become one of my favourite “go to” fragrances in autumn & spring. It is just so pleasant & comforting that I really enjoy wearing it often on days out. I would categorise it as a masculine fougere with bergamot, geranium & a sweet vanilla/tonka drydown. Good longevity overall and a must for a fougere lover.

Un vrai parfum de marque. J'adorais la couleur de sa boîte et l'odeur de violette. Un bon fougère que je ne vois plus. Un parfum de tout moment. Je l'aurais noté 9/10

I had this right after it came out, about 10 years ago. I believe it's discontinued now, which is a shame. Vanderbilt For Men is a modern and sophisticated smell, which is perfect for the colder months. It could be compared to Allure Homme or perhaps Boss Bottled (they have 3 base notes in common), allthough it's a little fresher/sharper in it's topnotes and maybe a bit more one-dimensional. Good value for money though, since it's a pretty cheap perfume.

I really like this - nice bergamot opening with a detectable hint of the anise. The violet rises through nicely and there's a lovely woody/vanilla dry-down. I think it's a pretty versatile smell and would do well in all seasons. Would be great at the office. I didn't pay too much for it - good value for money! /edit 5 July 2016: it kinda smells like Chanel Allure in its dry-down. Scent: 8.5/10 Projection: medium for ~2 hours Longevity: 7/10
