With Mother’s day less than one a week away many of you maybe scrambling to get something to show your love and appreciation for your mom. Sure perfume and flowers rank high on the list of unoriginal gifts; but there are some scents that are sure to win mom over.
First, a return to the classics. Guerlain’s Samsara, created by Jean-Paul Guerlain himself eons ago offers a touch of sensuality. This would be perfect for the woman who needs an excuse to kick up her heels and partake in a two-step. Notes include; Jasmine, Sandalwood, Rose, Narcissus and Vanilla.
For the mom who has it all, perhaps a collector of scents; snap up the house of CREED’s Royal Oud. Worn by six Presidential families and is unisex, it is the ultimate in sophistication. The makeup of Royal Oud contains rare ingredients such as Sicilian bergamont, angelic root and well, oud! Oud is one of my most favorite notes, and almost always makes for a beautiful scent.
The bottle alone makes Bond No.9′s Central Park West giftable. Covered with hounds tooth and topped with a flower,it screams spring. This juice is named after a prominent place in NYC is made up of Narcissus, ylang ylang, piquant pepper, jasmine and one of my favorite flowers- gardenia. If your mama still embraces her inner girly girl- check this out.
Valentino’s latest release Valentina was inspired by a new generation of Italian ‘It Girls’. This is a flirty floral, yet has a fresh zest, not too ‘flowery’ – if that is a word? In, fact I want this for myself. Does having a cat mean I’m a mom? If so, email me for my mailing address, friends.
Hermes Voyage d’ Hermes parfum is nothing short of excellence. Like the aforementioned CREED this too, is a unisex scent. Its citrusy- woodsy combo lasts all day. This would be very fitting for a mom who travels frequently or perhaps the idea of being well traveled.
