Jardin a New York
by Gloria Vanderbilt
Jardin à New York by Gloria Vanderbilt is a light, fresh white floral with a green and slightly herbal lift, featuring gardenia, petitgrain, jasmine, and peony atop a dry, warm woody base of cedar and amber. The scent opens with a crisp, clean impression of gardenia and citrus-verdant petitgrain, evoking a spring garden in full bloom. Over time, it reveals a quietly sweet and creamy floral heart that lingers softly, with subtle ambery depth and a hint of green mintiness. The fragrance is most effective in warm weather—spring and summer—where its florals are lifted and radiant. It's well-blended and elegant, with a delicate sillage that doesn’t dominate, making it ideal for office wear or casual daytime use. Many find it refreshingly pleasant and an excellent value, though notes on limited longevity and subtle fade are common.
Pros

- +Affordable and highly regarded as good value for money, with a presentation and bottle similar to other VP scents.
- +Works well in warm weather and fits a feminine, lightweight, elegant demeanor without being overwhelming.
Cons
- −Short longevity, often fading to skin scent within a few hours, making it more suitable for casual, daytime wear.
- −Low sillage and projection limit it to close, intimate proximity rather than noticeable presence.
- −Some users report a linear, unchanging profile with minimal depth or development, especially for cooler weather.
