If sustainability is close to your mum's heart, opt for a fragrance from Floral Street. Crafted from sustainably sourced ingredients and posted in planet-friendly packaging, they not only smell great but also do good too.
Rituals
Rituals' limited edition scent was designed to celebrate Chinese New Year but it makes the perfect Mother's Day gift too. Blending olibanum, a spicy green note, and tonka bean, a cosy sweet note, it’s both vibrant and comforting in every spritz.

If she’s not a regular mom, she’s a cool mom, then she needs the newest cult Sol de Janeiro fragrance. Combining notes of amber and sandalwood, it’s much more grown-up than their other perfume mists yet still as lust-worthy.
