Because fragrance is so personal, I tend to buy what I know my Mom already loves (helped by the fact her list of loves is almost as long as mine!) Still, if you want to take a chance, or stroll through the fragrance counters before Mother’s Day, here is a list of scents—some old, some new—that have sparked my interest recently.
- A La Nuit by Serge Lutyens. Expensive, dreamy jasmine.
- Black Orchid Voile de Fleur by Tom Ford. A huge favorite of mine, and a big hit with the man in my life, too!
- Bond No. 9 Sampler. If you’re really in trouble with Mom, this might just get you back in her good graces—if she doesn’t scold you for spending too much that is!
- Cannabis Rose by Fresh. Fresh’s newest. Rose with a few spicy thorns. Irresistible and very, very sexy.
- Chanel No. 5. Just because.
- Daisy by Marc Jacobs. Light and easy to wear, it grew on me, and the bottle is just too cute.
- Eau d’Hadrien by Annick Goutal. Citrus and cyprus, this fragrance has stood the test of time.
- Jo Malone Assortment. A nice introduction to her fragrance mixing philosophy.
- Lovely by Sarah Jessica Parker. Excellent fragrance, wearable and pretty.
- Narcisco Rodriguez for Her. Seductive, musky floral.
