Beauty
Something lavish for her wrist, a skin indulgence or a pretty lip treat, beauty is our go-to when it comes to gifting this Mother’s Day, here’s what we are coveting.
Narciso Rodriguez For Her Pure Musc, from 50ml, $216
The clean, fresh-linen-like quality of this musky scent is uber-feminine. That is thanks to airy aldehydes and tart bergamot, with the floral lift of jasmine. At the heart of this new fragrance is the trademark Narciso sensual musk, which is given longevity and warmth thanks to the addition of cedarwood. For floral, woody fragrance lovers, this is a gift that keeps giving.
HOME
