Perfume for a lady in her 60's - any suggestions?

Bettie

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!

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'

My favourite is "Eden" by Cacherel.

When I was 16 (in 1968 ) 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
