A fragrance leaves a lasting impression if you plan to celebrate Mother’s Day. Here are the latest designer perfumes for every scent taste - guaranteed to impress, says editor Trudi Brewer.
If you’re looking to reminisce or create new moments for the mum in your life - a fragrance is a gift that keeps giving. So here are the designer scents we’re coveting this Mother’s Day.
Fruity & refined
GIVENCHY IRRESISTIBLE ROSE VELVET EDP, 35ml, $143, 80ml, 239.
Don’t be fooled by its fruity kick; this is one of the most elegant fragrances we have enjoyed spritzing. Blackcurrant and musky iris with velvety roses bring sophistication to this newbie. At the same time, white patchouli and tender wood give it the grace we expect from a Givenchy scent. Expect it to get your mum back to the simplicity of the '90s - the moment she sprays it on her skin.
Fashionalbe & SustAINABLE
Chloé Nomade Jasmin Naturelle Intense EDP, 30ml $137, 50ml, $197.
Inspired by the wonders of nature, this vegan perfume is made with ingredients that are of 100 per cent natural origin. The uplifting aroma of jasmine and pear gives it richness and freshness. At the same time, creamy sandalwood and patchouli make it fashionable yet timeless.
rich & delicious
Burberry Her Elixir de Parfum for Women, 50ml, $199, 100ml, $254.
This is for the woman that loves a warm fruity scent. Known as a gourmand in fragrance circles, the blend of dark red berries and jasmine cement its reputation for having a feminine edge. At the same time, vanilla and amber take those fruity notes to musky new heights. This is the perfect gift for a free-spirited woman who has a taste for adventure.
Warm & luxurious
BOSS THE SCENT MAGNETIC FOR HER BY HUGO BOSS, $166.
Modern yet understated, like Hugo Boss fashion, this fragrance is warm and creamy, thanks to the unique white musk and osmanthus flower blend. Velvety ambrette seeds offer the perfect balance and an intoxicating star quality that will turn heads.
Perfectly imperfect
MARC JACOBS PERFECT EAU DE TOILETTE, 50ML, $164, ALSO COMES IN 100ML, $224.
This is the perfect olfactory impression of a spring bouquet. Laden with daffodils blended with pink peppercorns for a touch of spice. The green freshness is bought to life by a herb called Polygonum that some say smells like tart rhubarb. Finally, cedarwood gives this scent its uplifting and lasting quality.
A designer scent laced with vanilla.
