Forever

Forever is a distinct and glamorous floral perfume - the latest in Mariah Carey's collection of fragrances.

Packaged in a stunning and elegant art deco-style clear crystal bottle, the perfume created by Carey and Olivier Gillotin of Givaudan features predominantly white florals and just a slight hint of exotic musk.

Forever is a wonderful choice for the sophisticated mom who enjoys luxurious floral aromas of tuberose and gardenia and the sultry combination of white musk and exotic woods.

Forever Eau de Parfum Spray, Parfum and Luminous Body Lotion are available from Elizabeth Arden.

Badgley Mischka Couture

Badgley Mischka Couture is a fragrance that exudes confidence and luxury.

Since design duo Mark Badgley and James Mischka are well known for designing the finest couture gowns, it's only fitting that the fragrance they inspired would be equally alluring and packaged in a haute crystal bottle with metallic gold panels.

This perfume is what they call "floriental" ~ a seductive, rich blend of wood and musks, floral notes like jasmine, gardenia and violet, and dark, fruity accents such as purple plum, blackberry and fresh pear nectar.

Badgley Mischka Couture is the perfect gift to show Mom you think she's beautiful, feminine and elegant.

Badgley Mischka Couture Eau de Parfum Spray, Parfum Elixir, Body Moisturizer and Body Cream are available from Elizabeth Arden.

CIRCUS fantasy BRITNEY SPEARS™

Inspired by the #1 album CIRCUS, CIRCUS fantasy BRITNEY SPEARS™ is a flirty and exhilarating scent.

The opalescent blue glass bottle adorned with glittering red stones holds a captivating perfume bursting with fruity, floral and musky notes - almost candy-like in its delicate sweetness.

The juicy fruity aromas in CIRCUS fantasy are raspberry and apricot blossom, while the floral notes include blue peony, waterlily and red sweetheart orchid. The final seductive notes of sweet vanilla wood, creamy musks and violet candy combine for a truly delightful perfume.

Choose CIRCUS fantasy BRITNEY SPEARS™ for the mom who still feels young at heart and enjoys the magic and excitement of an adventure.

CIRCUS fantasy BRITNEY SPEARS™ Eau de Parfum Spray is available from Elizabeth Arden.

With Love... HILARY DUFF

With Love... HILARY DUFF is an exotically fragrant journey through the orient. By far the most sultry of the perfumes featured in this Mother's Day gift guide, With Love... has notes of exotic fruits, deep ambers and rich woods.

This fragrance begins with top notes of the tropical mangosteen fruit and an exotic blend of warm spices. Below the mangosteen blossom is cocobolo wood and a base of sheer amber milk.

For moms who enjoy slightly spicy, amber musks, With Love... HILARY Duff is a good choice for Mother's Day.

With Love... HILARY DUFF Eau de Parfum Spray, Eau de Parfum Rollerball, Moisturizing Body Lotion, and Fragrance Rollerball and Lip Gloss Duo are available from Elizabeth Arden.
