The Vanderbilt fragrance range is stocked here in two products: the eau de toilette spray in 100ml and the matching body lotion in 100ml.

Vanderbilt is a classic floral oriental that has been on counters since the 1980s, and it holds a following for exactly that reason. The scent is warm and powdery, built on florals over a soft amber base, which places it closer to the traditional end of the fragrance shelf than to contemporary releases. Eau de toilette concentration means it sits lighter on the skin than an eau de parfum and is more likely to need topping up through a long day. The matching body lotion is the companion product rather than a scent in itself, and layering it under the spray is the straightforward way to make the fragrance last longer, since moisturised skin holds scent better than dry skin. The two together also make a recognisable gift for anyone who already wears it. A 100ml bottle is a generous size for an eau de toilette, so it lasts well even worn daily, and the lotion at 100ml is sized to match rather than to outlast it.

Vanderbilt is stocked at Ronaghan's Pharmacy, a family-run Irish pharmacy, with the wider fragrance range. Browse the range below.
