There’s something so comforting about hugging mommy and getting a good whiff of her scent.
Waarom is dat? maybe it’s some primal leftover from childhood that never quite leaves you? Hmm, deep thoughts…

Mother’s Day is this weekend! If you’re trying to find a gift, here are a few of my favorite mom-friendly scents.
For the sophisticated mommy — Gucci Bamboo
Gucci Bamboo is like a best pair of nude pumps or a tan trench that opts for everything. For mommies with a classic style.
Official notes: Italian bergamot, Casablanca lily, ylang ylang and Comoros sandalwood.

Winkel nu
Unofficial notes: A terrific day at a job you love, cocktails with good pals after a long week, and checking out yourself in the mirror and absolutely feelin’ your current outfit.
$92 for a 1.6-oz. bottle, available now at Sephora.
For the fun-lovin’ mommy — Tom Ford Neroli Portofino Acqua
This playful perfume smells like summers on the beach. If your mom’s a water baby, I bet she’ll love it.
Official notes: Citrus and amber
Unofficial notes: Sand between your toes, saltwater on your skin and limitless summer days that cause sultry summer nights…
$150 for a 1.7-oz. bottle, available at Sephora.
For the no-nosense mommy — Reserve velvet Flora, by Clean
For mommies who like their scents on the not-so-sweet side, Reserve velvet Flora could nearly pass for a men’s cologne.
Official notes: green bergamot, jasmine lily, saffron flower, cedarwood, moss, musk, amber and patchouli.
Unofficial notes: Old books, Sunday brunch on a crisp spring morning, and standing next to your current kid crush and catching a whiff of his cologne.
$90 for a 3.4-oz. bottle, available at Sephora.
For the flirty mommy — Lipstick On, by Maison Martin Margiela
A girly-girl scent for mommies who never leave home without a tube of red lipstick.
Official notes: Bergamot oil, heliotrope accord, neroli oil, orange flower absolute, orris concrete, galbanum oil, tonka bean absolute, vanilla bourbon extract and patchouli oil.
Unofficial notes: Matte red lips, black cat eyeliner and a single strand of pearls. *mauw*
$125 for a 3.4-oz. bottle, available at Sephora.
For the easygoing mommy — Tocca Emelia
I think this is a scent for nearly any individual of any age. You’ll be tempted to “borrow” this fresh, easygoing scent from mommy to wear it for yourself.
Official notes: Watery clementine, loquat fruit, bucchu leaves, fig leaf, geranium coeur, magnolia tree leaf, amaryllis, Kadota fig, maté absolute Paraguay, bison gross, florentine orris, praline, ambrette seed absolute and coconut water.
