Fragrances are mood-changers. Although some may think of cologne or perfume as a last-minute impersonal gift, if you know the recipient well enough you will wow her by picking the right scent for her!
Following are some tried and true names along with up and coming choices that would make great gifts for Mom.
La Vie est Belle by Lancome ($55-$95) is a complex blend of patchouli contained in a simple yet artsy bottle that is sure to delight your classy mom. It is sweet and powerful, yet can be worn year round to spice up Mom’s date nights.
For the summer, Acqua Di Gioia by Armani ($58-$75) is the perfect combination of grapefruit, cedarwood and ylang-ylang. A scent that will carry the mami in your life seamlessly from morning ‘til night.
For a customized fragrance gift, try Ralph Lauren Big Pony ($70), an oriental scent that can be personalized with Mom’s name or a special word that means the world to her. Even better, the Big Pony Essie Set ($45) will help her layer on the aroma and polish her nails too!
