Last Minute Mother’s Day Idea

If you are still hard up for the perfect Mother’s Day gift, you might try one of MY mother’s favorite gifts, a beautiful fragrance! My mother wears Knowing, a classic Estee Lauder fragrance, and has for years. The scent is just perfect on her, and always makes a great gift. My brother and I keep her in fragrance, and if she has a new bottle, say from Christmas, Mother’s Day is a great time to give her one of the other luxurious items in the line, like the body lotion or the powder.

Estee Lauder has a new fragrance out now, a summery fragrance, Pure White Linen - which is a variation of their classic fragrance, White Linen. I love reading fragrance descriptions even though they - much like descriptions of fine wine - most often go right over my head. LOL But this one sounds fabulous:

A surprise of red tulips and rosebloom. Snow-white flowers, sparkling raspberry.

Pure White Linen steals you away to the perfect summer day. Like a stroll in a flowering garden, it lifts your mood and renews your spirit.

Pure White Linen is a modern interpretation of the classic White Linen theme, offering a feeling of fresh greens and just-opened florals.

Fragrance Type: Fruity Floral

Top Notes: Succulent Grapefruit and Italian Mandarin blend with Iced Rose Tea for pure luminosity. Luscious Raspberry, Pear and green Granny Smith Apple provide a natural lively fruitiness. Dewy Greens, blooming Lilies and White Freesia portray an aura of delicate wild flowers. Soft spicy accents of White Ginger and Cardamom accentuate the crispness.

Middle Notes: The signature core of whimsical Red Tulips is surrounded by a velvety array of Rose Absolute, Wild Honeysuckle, Gardenia Petals and a touch of Tuberose. Luxurious Jasmine, Soft Iris and Osmanthus add sophistication to the floral heart.

Dry Down: White Cedarwood and Patchouli give a seductive warmth to the background. White Heliotropine envelops the woods with smooth sensuality and femininity.

If you need a great Mother’s Day gift, do head on down to your local department store and look around in the cosmetics department - not only is it loads of fun, but you will no doubt find just the right thing for your beautiful Mom!!
