I typically get my mom perfume for mother's day because she LOVES it, but this year I opted for a new wallet and purse. She loved that too, but I feel like she enjoys getting the perfume. I'm going to see if I can find the Arpege on any discount fragrances online stores. http://fragrance-and-beyond.com Wish me luck!
