Fragrance, Slowing Down This Mother’s Day
Mother’s Day gifts don’t have to be loud or over-planned. Sometimes the most thoughtful gifts are the ones that invite a pause.
Artisan fragrance has a quiet way of doing that. A single spray can shift a mood, bring back a memory, or simply make a moment feel more considered. This journal is an invitation to explore scent slowly, on your own, or with people you love.
In the weeks leading up to Mother’s Day, our Signature Discovery Set becomes something more than a perfume gift set. It becomes a shared experience. A reason to gather, compare notes, talk, laugh, and notice how differently everyone responds to the same scent.
How to use this fragrance guide...
There’s no right way to do this.
You might choose one artisan fragrance each day, wearing it from morning to evening and noticing how it shifts with time, skin and mood. Or you might open the box all at once, passing blotters around the table, spraying freely, talking over each other as everyone smells something different.
This works just as well alone, with a notebook and a quiet cup of tea, as it does with friends, sisters, mothers or daughters. Fragrance is deeply personal, but it’s also surprisingly social.
Return to the same scent more than once. What feels unfamiliar today might become a favourite tomorrow.
