    Sarah Jessica Parker's 'Lovely' is one of my favourits and I'm 50 (just), I would think if she likes anais anais she would like it.

    Both of her choices are flowery, so go for something along those lines, or perhaps a voucher for the Perfume Shop?

    Anna Sui's range is flowery, and Jasper Conrad is grapefruity if that helps.

    I'm nearly 50! And I like both Dune and Anais Anais - but my favourite is Diorissimo (by Dior!) It's flowery but not sickly or overpowering - bit like lily of the valley/hyacinth?

    My mum's a bit older than 50 and she really liked the sample of Marc Jacobs Daisy I gave her - it's sweet and floral but not overly so.

    I'm not quite 50 yet but older than 45 :D I love Green Tea by Elizabeth Arden. My daughter (25) loves it too so I bought her one. :rolleyes:

    Not in my 50's yet but my all time favourite is Oscar (oscar de la renta) even teens when they smell me wearing it ask what it is its just so feminine

    I'd forgotten Nina Ricci "Deci Dela" it's delicious.

    If she likes flowery perfumes Nina Ricci's L'air du Temps might go down well as would Fleur de Fleur as someone else mentioned.

    The latter two are more classic perfumes, but lovely nonetheless.
