Mother’s Day is around the corner, next month on 12 May! There are so many options to show our appreciation for mothers on this special day, these include dinner options, flowers and gifts.

One option is with a gift of fragrance. Furthermore, we could choose the top flower gift to women – roses, as the base for our perfume option. Firstly, the rose fragrance will last longer than a bouquet of roses. Secondly, rose scents are feminine and lastly they are evergreen.

Beauty Insider Malaysia has compiled a list of 6 floral fragrances that feature the scent of roses as gift ideas for the extra special person in our lives on Mother’s Day. In the mix are classical rose scents, modern scents and earthy woody scent to suit the many different personalities or preferences.
