Mother's Day Gift Ideas:Loving (And Lovely) Aromas Of Fabulous Fragrances

If you're trying to sniff out gift ideas for Mom, it can help to start with an elegant fragrance-something the nose knows, and something that can capture Mom's personality in a scent.

Here are a few of the popular choices for Mother's Day:

• DOLCE & GABBANA for Women. Introduced in 1993, this fine fragrance contains petitgrain, tangerine and basil and is accented with freesia, musk and rose, making it exquisite for evening use.

• MARC JACOBS for Women. Think fresh gardenias floating on water, enhanced by creamy musks. This lush floral essence includes velvet gardenia blended with white pepper and hints of sheer Egyptian jasmine and honeysuckle.

• WHITE DIAMONDS, created by Elizabeth Taylor in 1991, is the result of the following top fragrance notes: neroli, lily and tuberose. The middle notes are orris, narcissce and amber, and the base of the fragrance is sandalwood, patchouli and oakmoss. This scent is recommended for evening use.

• BOSS INTENSE for Women. Launched by Hugo Boss in 2003, this fragrance possesses a blend of spice, kumquat, vanilla orchids, Turkish rose, woods, amber and musk.

• BIJAN for Women explores essences of tuberose, carnation and jasmine and is blended with notes of honey, vanilla and musk. Try pairing it with Bijan Body Lotion for an exhilarating fragrance experience all over the body.

• SHI for Women. A luminous floral fragrance reflecting a true sense of calm and well-being. The initial impression of water lily and fig leaves infuses this Alfred Sung creation with pure clarity, while the mid-notes of orange blossom and frangipani create an aura of feminine tranquility. A unique water musks accord breathes a whisper of softness around silver birch, ending the cycle with a renewing calm.

• PARIS HILTON for Women opens with sheer sophistication. Chic enough to be worn on the runways of Milan while retaining a brilliant flirtatious charm, this head-turning fragrance can be dressed up or down for both day and evening wear.

These and many other fine scents are available-at discount prices, in individual bottles and in gift sets-from Perfumania, America's largest fragrance store. To learn more and to browse the aromatic collection, visit the Web site at Perfumania.com.
