Gift Guide: 6 Fragrances A Mother Will Love
The gift of fragrance is as special as a kiss goodnight or a good morning hug. The thought that goes into picking out a fragrance can be overwhelming, so we have done the work for you and narrowed down five fragrances for five types of moms, and with 5 budgets in mind. You can do the choosing! 1. Soccer Mom She is busy, on the go, multi-tasking with kids, work, hubby, home and more. The easier and quicker she can apply her fragrance the better. And nix the glass bottle, something she can throw in her bag is perfect. Try: Vapour Organic Beauty Spirit Scent N°1 $40 Scent notes: Vetivert, sweet basil and other herbs, citrus, light sparkling florals and exotic woods. Vapour Spirits’ Solid Perfumes are entirely fragrance free. We use only fine essential oils, absolutes and natural fruit essences. We believe in the poetry of plants and the authentic sensuality of their scents. 2. Domestic Diva She loves her home and it shows. The aroma of fresh baked goods wafting from the kitchen, french milled hand soaps and fresh linens in the bathroom and a gorgeous English cutting garden define her. Try: Le Couvent des Minimes Botanical Cologne of the Cloister $38 A floral and luminous scented water that evokes the flowers of the Cloister.

Femininity Perfected Dresses over jeans. Heels over flats. Flowing hair over ponytail. She is soft, alluring and always distinctly feminine.
