Maison Francis Kurkdijan Paris brings our senses alive with three new scents from their Cologne forte collection. Bottled in yellow, the Aqua Vitae gives off whiffs of citrusy, floral notes made from Italian mandarins and Indian sandalwood. Meanwhile, the Aqua Universalis opens our olfactory senses to the musky aroma of Calabrian bergamot, intertwined with the sweetness of diaphanous white flowers, such as mock orange and sweet pea. Lastly, the Aqua Celestia, which marries bergamot with fruity notes of blackcurrant, raspberry, blackberry, and jasmine—the perfect scent to wear to a celebratory Mother's Day picnic perhaps? 

5. For the mum who loves the beach

We love the beach, but we have to admit, it comes with its own set of drawbacks. Though the sand in your swimsuit may be annoying, the more dangerous thing to look out for is the harmful UV rays from the sun. If your mum is planning a beach trip sometime soon, consider getting her the Clarins UV Plus Anti-Pollution sunscreen. It has an SPF of 50 and is the first sunscreen to protect against 5 different kinds of pollutants namely atmospheric, indoor pollen, blue light, and photo-pollution (which consist of pollution and the sun's UV rays). Get the best kind of sun protection available for your mum this summer—her skin will be sure to thank you!

6. For the mum who loves her hair

Our hair is our crowning glory, or at least that's what my mum always says. This Mother's Day, treat your mum to L'Occitane's new line of hair care products, all of which work hand in hand to give her locks strength and volume. Start with the shampoo, which strengthens and thickens the hair before proceeding on to their new conditioner to detangle and smoothen fine locks. Last, the scalp serum, to help the roots become stronger, for more voluminous tresses. 

7. For the mum who loves to multi-task

Formulated with vitamin E and ceramides, these nourishing, ultra-creamy powders come in three strategic colours: lavender to brighten, mint to reduce redness, and peach to cancel blue and purple shadows. Target specific beauty problems or swirl them all together to create a picture-perfect look this Mother's Day!
