Gloria Vanderbilt Reverie is an Eau de Toilette launched in 1999, created by Francis Kurkdjian and Christine Nagel. Reverie opens with Bergamot, Mandarin, Peach, and Pineapple, settles into a heart of Jasmine, Iris, Orchid, and Cinnamon, and dries down to a base of Virginia Cedarwood, Sandalwood, Vanilla, and Tonka Bean. Gloria Vanderbilt's Reverie carries a Statement verdict, a sweet-led wear.

A lost 90s gem crafted by two master perfumers, Reverie delivers a unique blend of powdery sweetness, warm spice, and delicate fruit. It's an ethereal, almost magical scent that's sadly discontinued, yet remains unforgettable for those who experienced it.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

About

Reverie opens with a soft, sparkling medley of peach and pineapple, brightened by bergamot, before gently transitioning into a heart of powdery iris and exotic orchid, subtly warmed by cinnamon and jasmine. The drydown reveals a creamy, comforting embrace of vanilla and tonka bean, grounded by a soft cedarwood and sandalwood base, creating a dreamy and ethereal aura.
