Complement your mother's personality with the perfect perfume
Every spring, Americans strive to find the perfect Mother's Day gift to celebrate the person who nurtures them and makes life more beautiful. Showing your love and appreciation may come in the form of a family brunch or a relaxing spa treatment, but what personalized gift would you appreciate year-round?
Here's a hint. "On our website, we asked Shop Etc. readers what kind of beauty product, from fragrances to skin care products, manicures and hair tools, would they like to receive more for Mother's Day, and perfume topped the list, "says Amy Keller. , Beauty Director, Shop Etc. "Also, choosing a fragrance that you know will look good on your mother shows her how much you love her."
Fragrance preferences are intensely personal
Fragrance preferences are intensely personal, and selecting the best one can present a daunting task. According to Karyn Khoury, Senior Vice President of Worldwide Corporate Fragrance Development at Estée Lauder Corporations, giving someone a fragrance that they will truly love isn't as difficult as it sounds. "Taking into account your mother's personality, her style, her favorite foods and flowers, it can give you a pretty accurate idea of which fragrance she will want to wear over and over again," she said.
Which one best describes your mother:
The sophisticated
Her elegant sense of style has always been inspiring. If exotic food and excursions to European cities are high on your list of must-haves, consider introducing your mother to a sultry scent that means refined glamor. Estée Lauder Youth Dew Amber Nude Eau de Parfum combines intoxicating blooms including radiant gentian and magnolia blossoms, ylang ylang, jasmine, black rose, plus a sensual skin-friendly accord with spicy hints of ginger and fresh tea. The lasting impression is deep and sexy, but never too strong thanks to a combination of amber balms, vetiver, sandalwood, patchouli heart, and dark chocolate.
Romantically inclined
Everything it touches in some way seems more beautiful. A charming and elegant floral should suit your personality. Beautiful by Estée Lauder is a charming and intensely feminine bouquet of vibrant roses, lilies, tuberose, marigold, jasmine, ylang ylang and carnation that creates a flirty touch thanks to fresh mandarin orange and bright fruity notes. A warm background of sandalwood, moss, amber and vetiver will linger on your skin.
Simple modernity
For the woman whose sense of style expresses her individuality and unbelievably good taste, a modern, airy floral fragrance with a hint of femininity and playfulness is bound to become her signature scent. Pure White Linen by Estée Lauder exudes a sensation of sunlit freshness thanks to its infusion of incandescent notes of grapefruit and tangerine mixed with crunchy fruits such as pear and Granny Smith apple and velvety flowers. Since its classic leanings don't mean it's completely predictable, Pure White Linen ends with a seductive and mysterious drying that is comprised of white heliotrope, seductive cedar wood, and patchouli.
"The beauty of fragrances is that women can express different moods and different aspects of themselves," says Rochelle Bloom, president of The Fragrance Foundation. "And who knows, by buying her a new fragrance, you can help her channel an aspect of her personality that even she didn't know existed."
The bright actress Gwyneth Paltrow is an example of a young mother who would appreciate a special scent.
