Top Ten Fragrances for Mother's Day 2009

As Mother's Day approaches, it can be a real challenge to figure out what to buy for Mom or that special woman in your life. Candy, flowers and jewelry are all possible Mother's Day choices, but it's hard to make those gifts individual for the recipient. Perfume can be a special Mother's Day gift that is a bit more personal, and by choosing a scent that really captures the personality of the wearer, you can honor the spirit of the woman who receives your gift on Mother's Day.

Here are ten ideal fragrance gifts for Mother's Day 2009.

Classic Fragrance Gifts for Mother's Day 2009

(1) L'Air Du Temps by Nina Ricci, a lovely floral with notes of musk and sandalwood, is a true classic that has been on the fragrance scene for decades. Packaged in a lovely bottle with doves on top, L'Air Du Temps by Nina Ricci would make a stunning gift for Mother's Day 2009.

(2) Chanel No. 5 perfume, with its glamorous connotations of movie stars like Marilyn Monroe, is also a great Mother's Day gift for 2009. Chanel No. 5 was Coco Chanel's very first fragrance, introduced in 1921 and still enormously popular today. This classic yet unusual floral scent has featured spokes models like Catherine Deneuve and Nicole Kidman, and Chanel No. 5 will surely make Mom feel like a star.

(3) Lancome Tresor has been around for quite a few years, and this lovely and always appropriate perfume is a thoughtful gift for Mother's Day 2009. Academy Award winning actress Kate Winslet is the new face of Lancome Tresor, an oriental floral fragrance with notes of lilac, amber, musk and apricot.

(4) Estee Lauder Beautiful has become a staple of many women's fragrance wardrobes, and this scent frequently features a bridal theme in its advertisements. A crowd pleasing perfume that is suitable for all sorts of occasions, you can't go wrong with Estee Lauder Beautiful as a gift for Mother's Day 2009.

Another great choice for a Mother's Day 2009 gift from the Estee Lauder company is (5) Estee Lauder Pure White Linen Light Breeze Perfume, a refreshing concoction of floral and green notes which make it the perfect fragrance for spring and summer.

New and Exciting Mother's Day 2009 Fragrance Gifts

Miss Dior has been a beloved fragrance from the House of Dior for decades, and a few years ago, John Galliano decided to create a new Dior fragrance called (6) Miss Dior Cherie to honor the spirit of designer Christian Dior. Recent ads for Miss Dior Cherie evoke the spirit of Paris, and this newer Dior fragrance is stylish and chic, yet playful and modern. Mom will feel like she's been transported to France each time she wears Miss Dior Cherie, making this a special Mother's Day 2009 gift for the woman who loves travel, European culture and high fashion.

Vera Wang scored a hit with women when she created the scent Vera Wang Princess a few years ago. With its notes of vanilla and pink guava, Vera Wang Princess seemed the perfect, wearable fruity floral. Now Vera Wang has added a new addition to her Vera Wang Princess perfume line, called Vera Wang Rock Princess. (7) Vera Wang Rock Princess is a darker floral, and it has an edgier feel than Vera Wang Princess. If you know a young mom who is into culture and fashion and embraces that funky downtown vibe, this is the ideal Mother's Day 2009 gift for her.

For the modern sophisticated mom, two new scents make exciting gifts for Mother's Day 2009. (8) Lancome Magnifique features actress Anne Hathaway in its ads, and she is the perfect embodiment of this fragrance's spirit. Lancome Magnifique, a spicy woody fragrance with notes of saffron essence, Bulgarian rose, jasmine and sandalwood, is the very epitome of style and grace and would be a perfect Mother's Day 2009 gift for that chic, romantic and refined mom.

(9) Perry Ellis for Women perfume is a women's scent from menswear designer Perry Ellis, and this elegant new fragrance would make a great Mother's Day 2009 gift for a distinctive mom who likes to stand out from all the rest. Perry Ellis for Women perfume is a floral woody musk that makes a statement with its fragrance notes of plum, apple, jasmine and gardenia, and amber, musk and vanilla.
