Luxury fragrances are perfect picks for Mother’s Day
With everything they do for us, it's hard not to want to give meaningful gifts for Mum to show our appreciation and love this coming Mother’s Day on Sunday 12 May. There’s all manner of goodies for gifts from flowers and candles to self-care and diffusers, and lots more. And of course, we cannot forget Grandmas, special Aunties or other wonderful motherly figures in our lives.
Here’s our guide to some of the best gifts for Mother’s Day this year from Apsley and Company, to make it that extra bit special.
Our favourite gifts for Mother’s Day
Make this year matter with a thoughtful Mother’s Day gift destined to make her feel loved every time she walks past or enjoys its scent. Something that is pure luxury for her home and will envelop her with exquisite fragrance will usually be met with delight for a variety of reasons, according to founder & CEO of Apsley and Company, Helen Armstrong.
“First, m any women simply enjoy the experience of pleasant scents and find them soothing, uplifting, or comforting. Luxury candles, diffusers and increasingly beautiful room mists offer a captivating way to indulge in these sensory pleasures within the comfort of their own homes,” she said.
“There’s a sense of sophistication and elegance that high-end bespoke home fragrance products have in common,” Helen added. “They serve as both decorative pieces and aromatic delights, enhancing the ambience of any room.”
These are Helen’s favourite picks from Apsley & Company for Mother’s Day 2024:
Abode Aroma Bevelled Crystal collection
This art deco inspired collection features beautifully cut bevelled crystal vessels for either candle or diffuser, designed to suit any room. The exquisite Abode Aroma Bevelled Crystal Candle $94.95 with its custom-fitted and refillable scented pillar candle is a substantial gift, weighing more than 1 kg.
Presented in a gift box, this very special piece is designed to be reused over and over again, with matching candle refills available in packs of 2.
For Mums who perhaps don’t like flames, or simply prefer the allure of a constant permeating fragrance, explore the Abode Aroma Bevelled Crystal Diffusers , $94.95, which are just as sophisticated. And new to the range are two beautifully scented Crystal Room Mists 100ml, $39.95, which will provide a light blanket of scented mist to envelop her in sumptuous scent.
If you're stuck on which of the fine fragrances to choose, Helen recommends the classic scent Crisp White Linen as hard to beat for most mums. Its fragrance profile features fresh drifts of white lily and posies of ylang ylang blooms enlivened with luscious servings of peach, red apple and citrus leaves to form a liberating perfume that dances on a soft ozonic pillow of musk and summer jasmine.
Glimpse Luxury Candles
Glimpse 1.7lk luxury candle $199.00 in Blanc offers something truly unique. Each glass vessel is delicately hand-carved and polished by specialist artisans to allow an enchanting glimpse of the burning candle’s hypnotic flickering flame.
The white glass encases the finest blend of botanical soy wax, scented with the unique and alluring fragrant fusion of rhubarb, white musk and the much-loved fig leaf. Pure luxury for the home. Presented in a luxurious gloss ice white box embellished with a gold foil inscription, the Glimpse luxury candle makes a true statement gift.
Other best gifts for Mother’s Day
Incorporating home fragrance into a daily routine can also be a form of self-care for some women, offering a moment of relaxation and sensory indulgence amidst busy schedules. Certain scents have mood-enhancing properties, such as reducing stress and sending you off into a blissful state or refreshing the air and boosting energy levels.
Transform your Mum’s mood from frazzled to serene with a bespoke luxury room mist. Apsley and Company’s exotic Regal Room Mist blends, $39.95, will transport her to the beaches of Santorini, the Russian province of Kaliningrad or Turkey’s ancient town of Halfetti with top notes of sumptuous black rose, laced with violet and grounded in musk.
These l uxury room sprays are formulated with premium quality ingredients, including a natural essence base and highly concentrated fragrance. These ingredients not only contribute to the richness and complexity of the fragrance but also ensure a higher level of purity and safety compared to synthetic fragrances.
