How to Pick a Perfume for Mom

Beauties, are you ready for Mother's Day this Sunday? If you're still stumped on a gift, Beautylish has some advice from Perfumania's fragrance consultant Jennifer Mullarkey about how to pick the perfect perfume present.

Perfume Picking the Perfect Scent for Mom

When it comes to Mother’s Day gifts, perfume is amongst the top of the gifting list, according to Jennifer Mullarkey, a fragrance consultant at Perfumania. "Around Mother's Day, there's a big spike in fragrance sales. Husbands and sons are buying for their mothers but there are also many women shopping for themselves as well," Jennifer says. "However, perfumes are extremely personal, so picking the perfect one as a gift can be somewhat of a challenge. When chosen correctly, the scent truly becomes an intimate and personalized gift." Here, she reveals her tips on choosing the perfect gift perfume:

1. Investigate: Find out what fragrances she already has (and obviously those that she likes) and what brands she wears. Does she like floral, sweet, fresh, or spicy scents? Does she have a favorite flower or food?

2. Consider her fragrance wardrobe: It's common for people to have a variety of scents to wear for different moods, occasions, or seasons. What could you add to her current collection?

3. Know your budget: Fragrance prices run the gamut. But you can get designer names without breaking the bank. Purse sprays and roller ball versions of a favorite scent are a great gift for an on-the-go mom—and many cost less than $20!

4. Ask store experts for help: They have been trained to guide you to make an educated fragrance choice
