Our goof-proof guide to Mother's Day scent-giving

The gift of scent can be a winner – but it can be a minefield if you don’t know what you’re looking for. That’s where we think our Perfume Society Discovery Boxes score – because in each box, there’s something to delight every woman (and often, several fab new ‘finds’).
On which note: can we just say that we acknowledge that not everyone still has a mother. (And that includes several of our Perfume Society team.) What we like to do, then, is to celebrate this date in the calendar with a gift that acknowledges an important woman in our lives: a godmother, aunt, or inspirational role model. And who’s going to say ‘no’ to a complete new wardrobe of fragrances…?
Whoever that important woman is, here’s what we think she’ll love…

As a VIP (a ‘Very Important Perfumista’), they’ll receive a welcome Perfume Society Discovery Box of samples, accompanied by our exclusive ‘Smelling Notes’, designed to introduce the key fragrance families – plus Perfume Society sampling blotters and a bespoke notebook for fragrant thoughts.
The VIP Subscriber will enjoy priority access to exclusive Perfume Society events through the year, and will receive eight digital editions of our Jasmine Award-winning online magazine The Scented Letter. And with their personalised VIP Subscriber card they’ll be entitled to special privileges and exclusive discounts at stores including Penhaligon’s and Miller Harris, among many other treats. It’s the win-win choice – and don’t forget: this gift will last for 12 whole months, so you’ll be in their good books for an entire year…! All of that for just £25…
