The debut fragrance by Gloria Vanderbilt in 1982 was a phenomenal success, with the release of the women’s eau de toilette Vanderbilt instantly capturing the hearts of millions of women. This exquisite, feminine scent unveils the art of being a true lady—proud and unapproachable, yet at the same time warm and inviting. A luxurious evening perfume, it highlights the elegance and refined taste of its wearer, without overshadowing her brilliance.
Crafted by Sophia Grojsman, the Vanderbilt composition opens with fresh green notes and citrus, complemented by the delicate purity of orange blossom and the vibrant energy of pineapple and bergamot. At its heart, the fragrance presents a feminine bouquet where the enticing sweetness of jasmine, iris, and ylang-ylang intertwines with the exotic aroma of tuberose and the spicy hint of carnation. Warm woody accords of sandalwood and vetiver, combined with a powdery blend of cinnamon and vanilla, create an elegant, sensual trail.

The fragrance has a vintage, retro vibe. It's quite "loud," so you should use it sparingly. It’s in the same direction as "Chypre Vanille" by Montale and "Emily" by Fragonard. Initially, the scent is sharp and reminds me of a mix of Odessa acacia with cinnamon and powder. After about 10 minutes, the sharpness fades, revealing a sweet, creamy, honey-buttery powder with white flowers. In my opinion, it's an evening fragrance suitable for the colder months. Personally, I love such scents and don't associate them with grandmothers, as some might. It stays close to the skin and lasts about four hours on the body, longer on clothes. If you prefer delicate aquatic or "energetic" citrus fragrances, this might not be for you. It's advisable to test it before buying. I'll continue using it to see if the scent evolves further.
Yes, this is not a trendy unisex fragrance nor a fruit punch. It is not oversized or casual. This fragrance requires knowing how to wear it. However, just like any other fragrance that implies a specific feminine image. And whether it is Soviet or non-Soviet has no relation to fragrances. Definitely original. I recommend it to connoisseurs.
I didn't buy it here... but... The scent is incredible! It's a lifelong love. I accidentally bought it at a mass-market store. At first, it seemed retro... but after wearing it for half a day, I realized I had to get it! And after it lasted a week: love happened! It has a very delicate and pleasant scent... A bit sweet... a bit powdery... with a hint of bitterness... I can't get enough of it! I bought 2 more bottles (because whenever I like something, they always discontinue it)))) The scent is average in terms of longevity! But it's very intriguing and noble.
This fragrance is reminiscent of old school charm. It is delicate and floral, perfect for cool weather. The delivery from Make up was as fast as always.
I really liked the scent. It is delicate, sophisticated, and at the same time evokes a sense of old-school charm. However, it may not be suitable for those who prefer sweet fruity aromas. It lingers subtly and doesn't overpower the surroundings. I didn't notice any lingering trail. It won't disturb or overwhelm anyone in the office. Overall, I am satisfied with it.
For the cold season. Worth buying!
Delicate and very long-lasting. It is important not to overdo it. The clothing retains its scent until laundry time.
A nostalgic fragrance. It's interesting, after all, Sofia Groysman is the perfumer. And yes, it's worth every penny. Well, how can I resist adding it to my collection?)
This fragrance has a very delicate scent. At first, you can catch a hint of Red Moscow (probably carnation). However, this only lasts for about 15 minutes. Afterwards, it transforms into a soft vanilla fragrance. It sits close to the skin and is sweet and gentle.
Perfume for connoisseurs. Intricate and mysterious. A niche fragrance at an affordable price. I am extremely satisfied!
This is not a "stink" and even less a "laundry detergent"!!!! It is a very feminine, classic, soft scent! Perfect for cool weather. No sharpness, suffocating feeling or anything unpleasant. It sounds intelligent, soft and cozy. I am 30 and I happily use it; there is no "grandma at a funeral" vibe. Of course, the scent will be understood by those who lived in the 90s, the younger ones are not accustomed to such fragrances)
For me, it's a complete disappointment, I can't hear anything else. It smells like a graveyard and funerals. As a lover of retro, chypre, and complex fragrances, this classic Gloria didn't suit me at all. I'll spray it around the house, but I won't wear it in public. However, I really liked its flanker, New York Garden.
Now it is clear why there are such contradictions in the reviews. There is something pleasant and familiar about it, but it truly appeals to the connoisseurs. I am one of those who are "young at heart"... I am taking away a star because the perfumers have worked on the fragrance and over the years, it seems to have lost its unique note.
I really like Chanel #5, but it's not affordable. I ordered these perfumes because I heard they are similar. Yes, they are indeed similar. Floral, with delicate spicy notes. But, definitely, it's a matter of personal taste.
And the price is 20 times cheaper!!! Grab it!!!
I simply enjoy the scent, I immerse myself in the aroma. These are my moments of escape from reality...
Thank you, Sofie, thank you Make up!
The delivery is always top-notch! Thanks to the courier Andrei (from Vinnytsia) for the fast and high-quality delivery.
Gloria Vanderbilt, a fragrance that I will always repeat. It doesn't accentuate aldehydes for me. It unfolds gently and festively. It is multifaceted and doesn't suffocate.
I bought Gloria based on the reviews, but mostly for the opportunity to listen to Sofia Groysman's masterpieces. On my nose, the fragrance is so well blended that it sounds different depending on my mood and even the time of day. In the morning, it is a creamy and lazy scent. And in the evening, it starts with cloves and has some resemblance to Red Moscow. But immediately, the aldehydic quality is replaced by languor and quietly merges with the skin. For some reason, when I inhale Gloria, I feel calm and a peaceful perception of the frantic pace of our lives.
I ordered a 30ml bottle from this website, and I must say it has a very impressive scent. However, it needs to be stored in a dark place for a few days before it becomes a delightful treat, as initially it smells more like a cologne. I am very pleased with this purchase!
I really love this fragrance. It has a floral and honey-like scent with a subtle hint of bitterness. It lasts for a good 8 hours.
I received a lilac-pink box made of enamel. The perfume was excellently packaged, and there was an airy stopper present. Even the enamel emitted a delicate floral scent. When I opened the box, the aroma was astonishing even without spraying. When I applied it, there was a clove-aldehydic start. It smelled like an eau de cologne. Then it gradually subsides and on the hand where less was applied, it reminds me of Amarige by Givenchy. On the other hand, where I applied more, it gives off the spiciness and warmth of Dune by Dior. I continue to observe. They need to settle for a week. Perhaps something interesting will unfold. For those who are shocked, try Chanel No. 5! At the beginning, it has a direction similar to Chanel No. 5 and remotely resembles Krasnaya Moskva. It's just the direction of an aldehydic eau de cologne. They are good quality old-school perfumes. A rich composition. They won't suit everyone. But it's very individual. I'm glad to have them in my collection and wear them according to my mood. Oh, and the box and the bottle were pleasing too. Thank you, Makeup))
I didn't buy it here, but I'll leave a review. These spices are wonderful, with hints of flowers and cinnamon. I am delighted by this aroma!
After reading reviews, I was prepared for a sharp start of the perfume and was pleasantly surprised by its delicate floral scent, reminiscent of Chanel No. 5. There is absolutely no overpowering cologne-like beginning or excessive sweetness. It is an unparalleled classic that has left a mark not only in the history of perfumery but also in the hearts of its numerous fans. Elegant and feminine, it offers a pleasant powdery note with a beautiful unfolding.
I will add to my previous review - this is an absolutely exquisite and timeless item.
It lasts all day, does not suffocate, and the scent of incense has settled perfectly for me. I need to get another bottle as a backup and one for a gift.
Thank you!
Today I received the water.
The introduction was successful.
The water doesn't resemble anything for me, I don't remember Red Moscow, so I can't compare it to that.
First impression - the scent is reminiscent of a good skincare product, possibly soap.
I can hear the scent of scented incense, like they burn in the temple during the service.
But as far as I remember, there is no incense pyramid in it.
Let it stand, maybe I'll write a review later.
I can say that it is a very worthy water, with a quite modern and wearable sound.
Thank you.
A luxurious, expensive, long-lasting, oriental floral fragrance! It sounds more expensive than its price! I have been ordering it for more than one bottle, it is made in France, and the batch code matches, it is original! It is in the same vein as Guerlain Insolence! A vanilla powdery, floral honey fragrance! A wonderful creation by the genius perfumer Sofia Groysman!
I received a tester without a cap. The smell is just awful! It's strong, harsh, nothing like the reviews. It followed me all day. I feel highly disappointed and have an unpleasant feeling. Now I will simply be afraid to buy an unknown "fragrance".
For me, this product is bitter, expensive, and not cute. I use it when I need to be composed and strict. I also love to spray a little cloud on my pillow before sleep, and for some reason, it helps me sleep well. I have no regrets about buying it, even though it's not a popular choice for me, but it is definitely worth it. The price is ridiculously low.
I didn't like the scent, but that just means it's not for me. Definitely not for girls, it's very long-lasting and more suitable for adult women.
Five stars. If you don't like modern facelessness and artificiality, but appreciate classics, especially the Shalimar direction - take it without hesitation. Multifaceted, iridescent, very natural. Flowers, warm non-ammoniac honey, expensive frankincense, powder, slightly bitter citrus, vanilla, softly noble fresh carnation, completely different from the one in Red Moscow - I don't consider these scents similar.
I didn't expect to like it so much, now I'm considering the pink Gloria - New York.
Aromatherapy in a bottle! This fragrance is incredibly feminine, herbal, and has a floral-vanilla cocoon that feels incredibly cozy. It reminds me of Red Moscow and has a similar vibe to Vanderbilt. The scent is warm, gentle, and affectionate. There is no sharp or heavy beginning that I could detect. Towards the end, it becomes light and powdery, like a cloud. Thank you, Makeup.
I am pleased to have become the owner of this perfume, especially since it is already legendary in its own way. Yesterday, I received and opened it - yes, it has a sharp scent, moderately long-lasting, and for now, not too rich in its "bouquet". I will let it settle - I have noticed that retro perfumes actually improve after they have been allowed to settle, so to speak.
One of my favorite and complimentary scents. On my skin, it's a handful of flowers with a magnificent creamy powder. The longevity is simply unreal, it lasts for a day on my body and several days on clothes. It's not similar to "Krasnaya Moskva" (I have it in my collection), "Krasnaya Moskva" is more clove-like with bitterness and sharper on my skin, especially in winter. I only agree with the fact that Gloria is very assertive in the beginning and can be suffocating if overdosed. Give it a chance, let it settle and rest (mine rested for almost a year), but now it's such a magnificence! I bought the second bottle recently. The scent under the cap is the same as in the first bottle. You can't blame a scent that didn't suit you, everything depends on the chemistry of the skin, the time of the year, and other factors. Good luck to everyone in choosing the perfect fragrance!
Unfortunately, it's not for me (( I bought the 100ml size, but even at this price, it's too much for me. It has nothing in common with my mom's perfumes from the 80s with the swan-shaped cap. It smells like Red Moscow right from the start, but the scent never revealed the long-awaited powdery notes on me. It suffocated me by the end of the day! I'm disappointed for the first time with a fragrance from Makeup. I give one star for the delivery; they didn't inform me about possible delivery delays.
яскравими нотками фруктів і квітів. Парфум виражає елегантність і жіночність, створюючи неперевершений образ. Його запах триває протягом усього дня, не втрачаючи своєї інтенсивності. Це справжнє задоволення для справжніх жінок, які цінують якість. Я рекомендую цей парфум всім, хто хоче підкреслити свою унікальність і привернути увагу оточуючих.
Delivered on time, thank you Mekeup! The scent is just like it was 25 years ago. Back then, these were my favorite perfume, and returning to this fragrance did not disappoint.
Girls, this one is for the lovers. Lovers of pure France with a hint of Red Moscow. My mom had a similar fragrance.
If you enter the scent correctly, it won't have a suffocating effect. Long-lasting.
I recommend trying the tester first.
Interesting scent. Clove comes to the forefront, but after a couple of minutes, the scent subsides and becomes calm, soft, warm, floral-powdery, and feminine. It is present but not irritating. I like it. I will happily wear it. My advice is, if you only have one scent, it's better to test the fragrance until the bottle is empty. If you have a "perfume wardrobe," this scent should definitely be in it. This is my subjective opinion))) The store is as always!!!! Your work deserves a score of 12! Thank you.
A beautiful clove-cinnamon fragrance, untouched by any synthetic elements. Not a single note feels overwhelming. It lasts for 3-4 hours.
Oh my god, how beautiful it is! It feels like I'm inhaling and I want to close my eyes. I didn't expect such a sound, I bought it for my relative who loves old-school scents. I imagined it differently, but it's flowers, like a bouquet of flowers. Magnificent, I'll keep it for myself. It will be splendid in autumn and spring. And it's not retro at all, very feminine, rounded.
Wonderful fragrance! The price does not correspond to the content. For me, it is a luxurious powdery scent with hints of white flowers.
Great water, old school. It doesn't resemble Red Moscow at all. I can hear flowers and it seems like cinnamon. The store is very good, the service is instant.
In terms of fragrance, there is indeed a slight difference at first, but afterwards it smells just as expected. Thank you very much.
The delivery was very fast. My wife and I were reminded of a scent from 35 years ago. Although there are differences. Some components feel artificial, rather than natural. Nevertheless, thank you very much!
I ordered from Makeup for the first time, and everything was great with the store. The delivery was fast and reliable, and everything was in good condition and securely packaged. They also included a small gift, a hair mask. It's a small thing, but it was nice!
As for the perfume, I wanted to have my own fragrances. My mom recommended these ones. The bottle is beautiful, and the scent is also very nice. It's sweet with a hint of acidity and a touch of something classic. In my opinion, it's not a fragrance for older women. I'm only 15, and I really like it! However, I think the perfume should be lighter. Instead, it has a very strong scent, but it's still good. I recommend it! I will definitely order from this website again!
Thank you to my favorite store for the prompt delivery of the gift. I bought these perfumes for my mom as a surprise, with delivery directly to her hands. Everything went perfectly - no paperwork, the sweetest courier, and my mom was delighted. The scent is just the same as many years ago. I have been a customer of this store for many years, and I always know that I will enjoy my purchase.
I am a fan of Red Moscow, it reminds me of my grandmother's perfume that I used to secretly sniff. Now I understand that Vanderbilt smells exactly like the Moscow my grandmother had. The modern Moscow smells different, but I still like it. These are two different fragrances because Red Moscow used to smell differently, now they have removed the clove from it, it has become more beautiful and changed. This is good because otherwise there would be two identical fragrances. I am thrilled, it's perfect for me. And what a beautiful swan on the bottle!
I used to have a bottle of Gloria Vanderbilt perfume during Soviet times, and I still remember its magical scent. Recently, I bought a new version of the perfume, and although it seems similar, it's just not the same. It's like diluted with water and chemicals. The original perfume was made with natural ingredients, while this one is pure chemistry. They may be similar, but they're not the same.
Vanderbilt is my wife's favorite perfume, and she has been using it for many years. I decided to surprise her with a gift for New Year's and buy this perfume, but I couldn't find it in our city. So, I decided to search for it in online stores and came across "Makeup." I placed an order, and the price was reasonable. They delivered it quickly, and I am satisfied with the purchase. My wife is ecstatic about it!
I knew in advance what to give to my wife, as she had mentioned it a long time ago. I wanted to surprise her, although she already had perfume and this is a toilet water, but she still liked it. Thank you for the fast and high-quality service.
The scent has its own unique character, so to speak. It's quite sweet, but definitely not for the younger crowd. Overall, I liked it. The delivery was excellent!
I immediately give this makeup product a five-star rating! The service is excellent! I ordered it for lunch and received it in the morning. Amazing! It was especially nice to receive a birthday gift. All of my colleagues were impressed with the quality of service and the speed of delivery. So, the website will definitely have new customers. Now, let's talk about Vanderbilt. It starts off sweet, then becomes spicy, and then it reminded me of my favorite Lancôme perfume, Poem, which I usually start loving in autumn and throughout winter. I love contradictory scents, I choose them consciously. I also love retro and "something from the Soviet Union". That's why I liked this fragrance.
