Chances are the fragrance your mother wore when you were a child is not what she wears today.
“Fragrance, like fashion, changes with the times,” says Ann Onusko, owner of Indigo Perfumery. “Selecting a perfume for Mother’s Day can be tricky because scent is so intertwined with our childhood memories. Remember, you both have grown up. Select a scent for the woman she is today.”
All fragrances below are available online at www.indigoperfumery.com
A special purchasing opportunity for readers– good only until April 10, 2014: 15 percent off purchase of $100 or more on indigoperfumery.com — all 19 fragrance brands, three home fragrance and bath and body companies. CODE: Spring Green. This special discount ends 4/10 at 12 MIDNIGHT PT.
Earth Mother: If Mom is the Queen of Green, give her a perfume that is 100 percent botanical and free of synthetics. Ann recommends Providence Perfume Co. Hindu Honeysuckle, which is hand crafted by Perfumer Charna Ethier. Honeysuckle is the Indian flower of kindness and generosity in Indian culture, and she is sure to love this spicy green floral. 15ml EDP/$68
Fashionista Perfumista: Your mother has a singular sense of style and is the epitome of chic. Jul et Mad Stilettos on Lex is a sophisticated scent with sparkling top notes and a mysterious mélange of woods and musk at the base. Housed in a sleek leather box, this stylish perfume includes a très chic travel spray that slips right into her designer clutch. 50 ml EDP with a 7ml nomad spray/$280
Isn’t She Romantic: If mom hums love songs and never misses an episode of Downton Abbey, give her a perfume perfect for her tender sensibilities. Grandiflora Magnolia Sandrine unfurls like a delicate blossom at dawn with fresh green notes touched by morning dew. 100 ml EDP/ $150
The Executive Suite: She has a corner office but make no mistake, she’s not one of the boys. Mom is a VIP, so choose a bold, but feminine fragrance. Au Pays de la Fleur D’Oranger’s Tubereuse Rosée is a modern take on tuberose accented with rose that is effortlessly elegant while commanding the board room. 100ml EDP/$125
Glamour Queen: She’s a bit of a Diva, and skype ready at 7:00 a.m. Your mother doesn’t walk into a room, she makes a grand entrance. Hedonist by Viktoria Minya is a provocative scent that is as dramatic as she is, a golden elixir with heady notes of jasmine flirting with the dark intensity of rum. The dazzling crystal bottle is studded with hundreds of Swarovski crystals. 45ml EDP/$200

I would love Hindu Honeysuckle for myself.
worth asking them how much for a small vial. At least you don’t buy something that’s so expensive and then hate it
Nice post with great idea to show his and her love for mother.
