Mon, 04/18/2011 - 13:49 | Wendy
Good ol' Mom. Few of your friends would stick by you if you had an infectious disease, but in trying situations Mom doesn't even bat an eyelid. This May, we pay hommage to the maternal figures in our life and honor them with heartfelt gestures of appreciation. What better gift to give than the gift of perfume?
One important thing to remember is that before you were born, Mom was a young woman just like any other. It is quite likely over the years that with the ebb and flow of being a parent, she may have neglected to indulge in the luxuries she once might have when younger. Why not remind her of times gone by with a classic perfume from her past, or introduce her to some exciting new scents to bring her back to the here and now?
Below are our top classic and contemporary recommendations for mom this Mother's Day.
CLASSIC
Guerlain Shalimar - the original oriental perfume against which all others are measured. This beauty has been worn and revered for the past 85 years ... a true testament to its popularity. Rich florals over resins, sandalwood and vanilla make for a gorgeous gift.
Chanel No.5 - The scent worn by millions and celebrated the world over. Besides this much-loved release, few classic perfumes still ooze sophistication and are this relevant even today. Jasmine, iris and aldehydes make for a stunning signature scent for mom.
Yves Saint Laurent Opium - Banned in parts of the world upon its launch, Opium has been wagging tongues and turning heads for decades. Rich, spicy and mysterious does not get better than this!
Hermes Caleche - A sensuous blend of rose, iris and oakmoss, Caleche epitomizes elegance and splendor with its powdery, floral charm.
Estee Lauder Youth Dew - A deep and exotic blend of jasmine, rose, amber, moss and patchouli; Youth Dew is a staple amongst more mature women who dare to be different.
CONTEMPORARY
Agent Provocateur - a chic and sensuous spicy floral/musk fragrance for mothers with Va-Va-Voom!
Thierry Mugler Alien - a radiant, mouth-watering solar jasmine scent with a beguiling orange blossom heart and woody/amber base. Confident yet controlled, this perfume will draw attention … for all the right reasons!
Narciso Rodriguez For Her EDT - A gorgeous exploration of egyptian white musk, amber and soft flowers. Narciso Rodriguez For Her is classy, feminine and refined… an ideal consideration for mum.
Davidoff Cool Water Woman - For moms who want something understated and refreshing, Cool Water Woman is an aquatic citrus/floral with dewy, fresh undertones. As light as a summer zephyr.
Van Cleef and Arpels Oriens - lip-smacking berries, white flowers and praline make for a delectable perfume in a stunning bejewelled bottle… an exquisite present for someone you love!
Remember, don't just limit yourself to perfume - Mom will love a matching scented body lotion or creme to compliment her fragrance.
Make hers a special day.
