    I like the mini sets. A couple of my favourites and a few new ones to try and if I really don't like one I can always give it away and still have loads left. I had a Dior set once. Loved it.

    Perfume is such a subjective choice one reason being what smells good on another person may not suit you or vice versa.
    Personally I like Calvin Klein Eternity Moment. I would rarely buy anyone perfume- unless it was a really mini (and cheap) one!
    Being polite and pleasant doesn't cost anything!

    Just to point out that the OP wanted suggestions for her Mum's Christmas present ...in 2016.
  • I'm in my 60's and stillnlove the classics of my youth - Fidji, Anais Anais, Loulou, Youth Dew.
    M&s do a lovely one "Florentina" which I always get complimented on when I wear it
    The Penhaligon scents or Houbigants Quelque Fleurs would be a real treat !!!128523;

    Keep away from Olde English Lavender though! Very classic but it does scream 'little old lady'
    Newly retired and looking forward to 
    a fulfilling, positive & happy future.

    When I was 16 (in 1968 :D) my brother went to France and brought me back a bottle of Cabochard. Every time I wore it I had loads of compliments. Over the years I have tried others but still go back to it. The only modern perfume I've ever found that suits me is Est!e Lauder Modern Muse. I'll drop a big hint soon
