NavyandBlue · 07-12-2009 5:02pm #1

Does anyone have any advice on what fragrance to buy for my mother for Christmas?

Shes in her 50s and has previously worh Angel by Thierry Mugler.

Thanks for any help

Would this be a perfume that your mum would be wearing everyday? Or just one for special occasions etc?

If it's an everyday perfume that you're looking for, I'd recommend DKNY Red Delicious. I bought it for my mammy for her birthday and she loves it

i think she has that Angel perfume too, because when I googled it the bottle looked very familiar. Red Delicious smells very fresh and lovely.

I got red delicious as a birthday present and the smell actually makes me queezy

suppose everyone likes different smells though. I love coco mademoiselle if that's any help but you'd probably be best to go into a shop and have a smell around

i always find my mum likes the same basic things as me so hopefully you'll be the same

My Mam loves Eternity, and I've been told that as an evening perfume you can't go too wrong with Chanel no. 5

Yeh I can't stand the red be delicious (sorry!) but coco mademoiselle is my fave. It's a classic scent. I think it's a perfect present.

The new Marc Jacobs one is really nice also, Lola. It's a fab bottle too!!!

Narciso Rodriguez for Her is really gorgeous. I bought it for my mam for her 50th and she gets compliments on it whenever she wears it

Euphoria by calvin klien...my mam is 60 next year and swears by it, and I have to say as a 20 year old I would regularly go in for a little spray myself

Anais anais or Dolce & Gabbana Light Blue

jenzz · 08-12-2009 5:48pm

D & G light Blue
Versache Bright Crystal
Tommy Hilfieger Daydreamer ( This one is gorgeous)
Bvlgari Omni Crystalline ( Favourite one)

My mum always robs one of these when shes over despite saying" I dont like your perfume "( in the way only a mother would get away with saying):D

Ooh Angel is such a love-it-or-hate-it scent, isn't it?

What about something else by Thierry Mugler?
Or Estee Lauder Sensuous is very similar to Angel (actually maybe that's not a good idea in case one compares badly to the other!)

My Mam is 70+ (I was a late baby:(:)) I bought her Armani Code, it is very feminine fresh scent and will thus suit her to a tee...

One of the Chanel ones? My mum wears Chanel No 5

Elizabeth Arden's Red Door

My mam was hinting to me just last week about the new Chanel. Apparently it's in a black bottle. So that's what will be bought for her!

You can't really go wrong with anything Chanel though.

Estee Lauder Beautiful or Beautiful Sheer!!

I love the Beautiful Sheer myself!

I bought my mammy Armani Diamonds last year in the hope she wouldn't like it and I could wear it myself (:p) but to my dismay she loves it!
