Show Mom Your Good Scents

By Lindsey Galloway

Make every day special by giving your mom the pure scent of flowers this Mother’s Day. One of these fragrances—made using old-fashioned apothecary methods and completely free of hormone-disrupting phthalates—will surely captivate her.

For the Flower Child at Heart: Strange Invisible Moon Garden ($135, 1.7 oz; www.siperfumes.com) offers sweet florals of jasmine, pikake, and tuberose.

For the Perfumista: Aftelier Pink Lotus ($150, 0.25 oz; www.aftelier.com), with scents of lotus and sandalwood, was originally created for Madonna, so no trendy, Chanel No. 5-loving mom will turn her nose up at this blend.

For the Earth Mama: Red Flower Ambrette ($186, 0.5 ml; www.redflower.com) blends musky notes of hibiscus, frankincense, black pepper, patchouli, and clove to reflect her level-headed nature.

For the Meditative Mom: Pacifica Tibetan Mountain Temple ($19.95, 1.2 oz; www.pacificacandles.com) delivers a calming, mind-opening blend of vetiver, patchouli, and ginger oils.
