This year’s Mother’s Day celebration will certainly be different, but nonetheless, more heartfelt and memorable than ever. The best perfumes always make for impressive gifts because one, scent has a way of transporting us to happy memories with the ones we love most and two, they’re just nice to look at. Unless you’ve already plotted a gift set or gift card, fragrance is definitely a sure bet.
Right now, the ones I’m gravitating toward are scents that evoke everything there is to love about this time of year—fresh cut flowers, delicious fruit and the inexplicable ambiance of a clean house, to name a few. Even if you don’t gift one of these perfumes to a mom or mother figure, maybe this is a sign you should treat yourself, just because. Keep scrolling and prepare to be mesmerized by some of the best perfumes of 2020 so far.
Dior.
Dior J’adore Eau Lumière Eau de Toilette Rollerpearl
This is the fanciest (and prettiest) rollerball fragrance I’ve ever seen. Described as a “custom made flower,” the travel-friendly bottle houses the classic J’adore floral scent.

Oscar de la Renta Bella Essence Eau de Parfum
Not a fan of strictly floral scents? This newbie inspired by the “Oscar de la Renta” woman counteracts floral notes with warm vanilla and musk.
Carolina Herrera.
Carolina Herrera Good Girl Eau de Parfum Limited Edition Fantastic Pink Collector
The Good Girl scent has been around for years, yet the brand always keeps us coming back for more with fun updated versions, like this glittery pink bottle.

Dolce & Gabbana Light Blue Love Is Love Pour Femme Eau de Parfum
Raspberry gelato notes have been added to this scent’s iconic Granny Smith apple and Italian lemon notes for a new twist on the cult classic.
Calvin Klein.
Calvin Klein Euphoria Blush Eau de Parfum
At first glance, you’d assume this fragrance is floral, which it sort of is, but let it linger on your skin a while longer and you’ll smell hints of chocolate and patchouli too.
Burberry.
Burberry Her Intense Eau de Parfum
This bold version of the London-inspired original is supercharged with blackberry, jasmine and benzoin notes.

Spread the love with this truly unique scent, a mash-up of floral, fruit and musk notes which come together to create a powdery fragrance with punch.
