Top Scented Gift Ideas For
Mother’s Day
Miss Dior 2021 by Francious Demarchy
You can always rely on Dior
when you are looking for a truly feminine perfume.
Dior loves to update their
traditional perfumes. In 2021, Dior gave Miss Dior Eau
de Parfum a makeover.
Miss Dior 2021 is one of
the most feminine perfumes Dior offers. The “nose” behind the fragrance is one
of the world's leading perfumers Francois Demarchy.
He gave this classic scent
a complete update in the early part of 2021. Top notes include
Lily-of-the-valley, iris and peony.
The middle tones are
enriched with rose, peach and apricot. When you let the fragrance linger you discover vanilla, musk and tonka bean. There is a
final flourish of sandalwood and benzoin.
Carolina Herrera Good Girl Eau
de Parfum 80ml Spray Set
When your mum enjoys a
slightly more exotic fragrance, Carolina Herrera has the perfect solution.
Gift sets are a great idea.
Just in time for Mother’s Day, Carolina Herrera has put together a Good Girl
gift box set which makes a fantastic treat.
In set, you get 80 ml spray
along with 100 ml body lotion and a 10 ml Eau de
Parfum spray.
What does Good Girl smell
like?
The scent was created by
Louise Turner. Louise loves combining exotic fragrances with a modern twist.
Good Girl is testimony to her rich fragrance experience.
Good Girl makes an opening
statement with almonds and coffee with hints of lemon and bergamot. This is
quickly followed by jasmine, sambac and tuberose.
Before you know it, other
exciting such as tonka bean, cacao and patchouli follow up. The finish is soft
thanks to cashmere wood and cedar.
This is a fragrance which
works well during the day and the nighttime.
Lancome La Vie Est Belle Eau
de Parfum 50ml Spray Gift Set
Lancome as a brand is often overlooked when it comes to perfumes.
Most ladies think of Lancome as a skincare brand.
Of course, Lancome offers excellent skincare solutions for women of
all ages. However, we mustn’t overlook the brand’s fragrance range.
La Vie Est Belle is an
excellent fragrance. If your mum does not already have this scent in her
collection, Mother’s Day is the perfect time to introduce it to her.
The fragrance is feminine
packed with exciting notes including pear and black current. Once the scent is
released, you can also pick up on orange blossom and jasmine followed by
vanilla, praline, tonka bean and patchouli.
The fragrance is sweet and
exotic at the same time. Treat your mum to a La Vie Est Belle gift box set
consisting of 50 ml spray and 50 ml body milk as Lancome
likes to call their body lotions.
A great choice for any mo=um!
Giorgio Armani Si Eau de Parfum
100ml Spray Set
Let your mum say SI in
capital letters to this classic feminine scent from Giorgio Armani.
This set is perfect to keep
in the bathroom. In the box, you get not only 100 ml of eau
de parfum. You also get 50 ml body lotion and 50 ml shower gel.
Give it to her in the
morning so she has something nice to wear when you take her out for dinner.
SI by Armani is a chic and
sophisticated fragrance. This is what makes it a classic feminine scent.
Expect top notes of
blackcurrant, heart of freesia followed by Rose of Mai. The finish is slightly
musky which gives the scent its long-lasting qualities.
A great fragrance which
quickly becomes addictive.
Givenchy L'Interdit Eau de Parfum 50ml Spray Gift Set
Another brand you can rely
on to produce a superb feminine fragrance is Givenchy.
Give your mm a chance to
try this fragrance as part of this L'Interdit Eau de Parfum 50ml Spray Gift Set.
In this Givenchy gift set,
you get 50 ml of scent accompanied by a 12.5 ml travel spray. The travel spray

What does L’Inderdit smell like? This is a very sensual perfume
perfect for date night or wearing to bed.
The fragrance has a rich
bouquet made up of jasmine, orange blossom and tuberose. Darker notes including
vetiver and patchouli develop as the scent develops.
The fragrance is slightly
daring but still very feminine. You can say it is a feminine fragrance with
hidden depths.
Jean Paul Gaultier Divine Eau de
Parfum 100ml Spray and 10ml Set
Mums of all ages like Jean
Paul Gaultier. At one time in our lives, we all have had a fragrance from Jean
Paul in our perfume collection.
This beautiful golden
bottle looks amazing. It is also right to describe the scent as divine.
The box set consists of a
full-size 100 ml eau de parfum accompanied by a 100
ml travel parfum.
Jean Paul Divine is a truly
unique fragrance experience. You would not expect anything else from Jean Paul
Gaultier.
Lilies and white flowers
blend with a sweetness which can only be compared to spun sugar. There is a
touch of salty sea air and a hint of golden sunshine.
A fragrance with a
difference perfect for weekend aways and holidays. That being
said, it works well in everyday life as well. You can say it stands out
in a crowd.
A great fragrance for any mum
at any stage of her life.
Gucci Flora Gorgeous Gardenia Eau
de Parfum 100ml Spray
Let’s not forget about
Gucci.
Gucci Flora is another
feminine fragrance which works well on the school run, at home or in the
office.
In this set, you find a 100
ml eau de parfum with a 10 ml smaller companion in
the same fragrance.
Gucci Flora Gorgeous
Gardenia is a relatively new release from the brand.
Pear blossom infused with
red berries and Italian mandarines make this
fragrance unique. To make the scent more full-bodied, gardenia, jasmine and
frangipani also make an appearance.
The finish is sweet. Enjoy
a blend of patchouli and brown sugar as a final flourish.
Yes, there is no doubt
about it - this is truly a gorgeous scent.
Estee Lauder Youth Dew Eau de
Parfum 67ml Spray
This is such a classic - I would personally wouldn’t be without Estee Lauder Youth Dew
in my collection.
What does it smell like?
Many are familiar with the smell of Youth Dew.
This fragrance is spicy,
sweet and sensual all at the same time.
The spicy notes are derived
from cinnamon, cloves, rose and ylang-ylang. You can also expect to find notes
of Lily-of-the-valley with cassia and orchid.
As a final flourish, you
can pick up on vetiver, musk and incense. Finally, vanilla is allowed to
release its sweetness. Oakmoss adds softness enhancing Youth Dew’s feminine
qualities.
The stylish bottle is
instantly recognisable.
Mugler Alien Refillable Eau de
Parfum 90ml
I love this alien-inspired
bottle! I am so pleased Mugler decided to make it refillable.
Today, we all would like to
play a part when it comes to protecting the environment. Why throw away your
perfume bottle?
Perhaps your mum feels the
same way.
But, there is more to Alien Mugler than a nice bottle.
In many ways, this
fragrance with its amber and woody notes reminds me of a walk in the woods. But, there is something more there as well.
It is a very feminine smell
which can only be described as sensational or extraordinary.
The scent is radiant and
great for the modern confident woman. A lovely gift for your mum on Mother’s
Day or any other time of the year for that matter.
Lancome Tresor Eau de Parfum 100ml Spray and 3 Products Set
I like Tresor
as a fragrance. Also, this set offers more than just the scent.
You get the opportunity to
explore Lancome skincare in this box set. And yes,
Genifique Serum is included in the set as well as cleanser and
cream.
Tresor as a fragrance offers both floral and fruity notes before
finishing with hints of amber and powdery tonka bean. A really
nice combination.
Another option to consider
is Lancome O de Lancome Eau de Toilette 125ml Spray Set. If you like lemony notes,
this is a fantastic scent.
The fragrance is energising and vibrant. A very natural scent which works
well during the day.
More Than Perfume
Perhaps fragrance is not
your mum’s main priority.
Many mums don’t have the
chance to spoil themselves with branded skincare during the year.
Why not take the
opportunity to treat your mum to quality skin care products on Mother’s Day?
Clinique is a brand that
has gone from strength to strength in recent years.
More natural ingredients
have been added to the brand’s products.
A good option is to let
your mum rediscover Clinique by buying her one of the special box sets which are currently available.
Clinique Fatigue Fighters
Skin Care 50ml Cream 30ml Cleansing 5ml Eye Set
Winter weather easily
causes skin fatigue. If this is something your mum has mentioned to you, why
not let her Clinique Skin Fatigue selection?
This set consists of 50 ml
of SPF 25 Superdefense skin lotion. Before she
applies it, she can cleanse the skin with All About Cleansing Treatment which
has an added exfoliating jelly.
Finally, she can finish her
skincare routine with All About Eye Lotion.
A popular set with many
5-star reviews.
Clinique Smart Multi-Corrective Moisturizing 50ml Cream
SPF15 Gift Set
This is another gift set
which has received positive reviews since it was first launched.
The set consists of
Clinique Smart™ SPF 15 Custom-Repair Moisturizer 50ml,
Night Custom-Repair
Moisturizer 15ml and Clinical Repair Wrinkle Correcting Serum 10ml.
I have to
hold my hands up and say the Clinical Repair Wrinkle Correcting Serum is one of
the best serums I tried. It works great on the neck and decolletage area as
well.
The products are suitable
for all skin types. It is worth pointing out few negative reactions have been
noted.
Little Extras
When you are buying
Clinique skincare for Mother’s Day, you may want to consider buying her a
Clinique fragrance.
Happy and Aromatics are
both great fragrances. They are perfect for wearing every day.
If you like Clinique, you
can also use Aromatics for evening wear. The fragrance easily doubles up as a
slightly sensual scent without being overpowering.
Molton Brown Delicious Rhubarb and Rose Bath
and Shower Gel
This is another delicious
treat for mum.
A lovely shower and bath
gel with smells great and is long-lasting. It is refreshing first thing in the
morning.
The scent combines well
with most fragrances without overpowering them.
A nice bath gel to add to
the bath when you want to slip away from the family for a while.
Final Thoughts
Buying perfume for your mum
is fun. Along the way, you may even learn more about your personal taste in
fragrances.
If you can, aim to buy a
gift box set. I think gift box sets are excellent value for money. You also get
extra treats that will delight your mum.
It is not always easy to
buy perfume for someone else. Most daughters know what their mums like when it
comes to perfume and skin care. It is often the husbands and sons who need
extra guidance.
