Mother's Day is fast approaching. It's time to find the perfect gift to celebrate the extraordinary woman who gave us life. A perfume can be the perfect gift to express your love and gratitude, as it evokes memories, emotions and deep feelings. However, choosing a fragrance can be a real challenge. That's why we've put together a few tips to help you find the perfect fragrance for Mother's Day.
The main olfactory families
You'll recognize floral fragrances by their fresh or powdery floral notes, such as rose, jasmine, lavender or orange blossom. These are the fragrances that dominate the market, widely favored by women. Citrus fragrances, on the other hand, are dominated by citrus notes such as lemon, bergamot, orange and grapefruit, bringing freshness and lightness.
Floral fragrances include J'adore by Dior and N°5 by Chanel. Examples of citrus fragrances include: Aqua Allegoria Coconut Fizz by Guerlain or Eau de Rochas Femme by Rochas.
Other olfactory families
Oriental fragrances are rich and sensual, blending spices, vanilla, precious woods and amber for an intense, sophisticated experience. They are unique in their warmth and seductive in their scent. Next, woody fragrances, elegant and masculine, express notes of sandalwood, cedar or vetiver, adding character to the scent. Moving on to ferns, often present in men's fragrances, they reveal notes of bergamot, lavender, geranium, wood and oak moss, evoking vitality and freshness. An emblematic example is Azzaro's "Azzaro pour Homme" fragrance.
Leather fragrances, meanwhile, are often associated with deep, rich notes evoking leather, tobacco, wood and sometimes even spicy accords, evoking sophistication and power. Finally, chypre fragrances, rare and refined, combine oakmoss, bergamot, patchouli and labdanum for a complex, intense experience.
If there's one winning combination in the women's fragrance range, it's fragrances with fruity and floral facets. We prefer them for their sweet, gourmand, intoxicating and romantic character.
By knowing the different olfactory families and the dominant notes of perfumes, you can already identify your mother's olfactory preferences. Does she like delicate floral fragrances, sparkling fruity scents or bewitching oriental perfumes?
A gift full of emotions and memories
For your Mother's Day gift to be special, it needs to evoke emotions. Choose a fragrance that recalls a moment or a story shared with your mother. This will make the gift more meaningful and personal. As you recall those precious moments, you'll find a fragrance that suits her. Giving her a perfume like this is more than just a gift: it's a way of showing her how much she means to you.
A unique Mother's Day experience
If you'd like to give her a unique, emotional gift that will bring back shared memories, we invite you to take part in our special Mother's Day workshop. This workshop offers a bespoke perfume creation experience, during which you and your mother will experience a captivating olfactory journey.
