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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
