THE YOUNG MOM

This mom enjoys a play date with the kids just as much as she enjoys a night out on the town with her girls. She’s a mom but she’s still young at heart and this addictive scent with notes of coffee, blue absinthe, jasmine sambac absolute, orange blossom, vanilla and sandalwood is her in a bottle.

THE COOL MOM

This mom knows how to ooze ageappropr­iate cool; she’s cool to your friends and even to you. This floriental fruity scent with notes of blackberry, pear, coffee, patchouli, and tonka bean is the perfect complement to her relaxed tailored pieces and street-smart sneakers.

THE EXTRA GLAM MOM

Call her a fashion mom or just plain extra, this mom knows how to make an entrance wherever she goes. This floral oriental scent’s evocative notes of ylang ylang, popcorn, vanilla and ambrette seeds get better as they settle and will match this mom’s “more is more” persona.

Try to keep up.

THE NEW MOM

This woman is a champion right now and adjusting to her new role of motherhood. Gift her with a fragrance that will help to get her groove back and empower her to take on the day. The fresh, sparkling notes of green mandarin, blackcurra­nt, neroli, patchouli, and base notes of vanilla and white musk in Sì, are right up her alley.

THE OLD-SCHOOL MOM

This mom likes what she likes and radical change isn’t something she’s always willing to do. Ease her into the now with fragrances that are oldies but still goodies. She will appreciate the scent and history of this Chanel classic with notes of white musk, honey, cedar and bergamot.

THE SOCIAL MOM

She is always the life of the party and loves to create a good time for her family and friends. The captivatin­g oriental notes of myrrh and tonka bean in this scent will make sure that while she’s working the room or welcoming guests with a hug, everyone feels her presence.

Between juggling the kids’ extracurri­cular schedules, household duties and maybe even a mini-business from home, this mom is always on the go. This luxurious fragrance with notes of cardamom, jasmine, violet, sandalwood and cedar will encourage her to take a few minutes for herself everyday.

THE WORKING MOM

She’s a mom who is boss both at home and in the office and needs additions to her fragrance wardrobe that are as powerful as she is. The sweet but woody notes of bourbon vanilla, orange, sandalwood and patchouli will complement her perfectly.
