If you are shopping for...

Your mother (or mother in law or step mother etc...)!

Moms are tough to shop for in my experience. Either they have absolutely everything and want for nothing, or they are set in their ways and don't like to go out of their beauty box. My solution to this problem? Perfume. I know it seems weird because scent is such a personal item but I think for mom's - scent is the way to go. Either they have a signature scent (in which case - gift done!) or they never buy it for themselves but as a child you can guess what she might like.

So today I present you with the 3 best fragrances (in BGND's experience) for any mom on your list...

1) Chanel 5
THE classic. Timeless, beautiful and elegant. Many many moms swear by this and if they don't wear it now they may have in the past or always wanted to try it. An elegant multi-purpose and timeless scent.

2) Clinique Happy

Fruity, fun and floral. Inexpensive yet delicious. A great every day kind of perfume for any kind of mom. And you know if mom doesn't like the perfume she will like something at Clinique!

3) Angel by Thierry Mugler

Soft and sweet. Reminiscent of baby powder. This is a great perfume for a mom who likes a hint of scent but nothing too strong, musky or flowery.

So hopefully these three scents are a good place for you to start. But don't forget, perfumes are a super easy gift to return, they usually cost enough that Mom can get something else decent that she would prefer instead and if you want a product but don't want a perfume, there are scented lotions, powders etc in most fragrance lines.

Keep looking fabulous,
BGND
