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.

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.

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.

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.
