Pamper your Mum with one of these delights. Go on: she deserves it.

Chanel Allure Sensuelle Parfum, $167 (7.5ml), is the latest scent from the luxury stable. Soft and floral, it's a wonderfully warm and exotic variation on the original.

L'Artisan Parfumeur Amber Ball, from $130, is a terracotta keepsake containing fragrance. Natural amber subtly scents a room and can be refilled.

Diptyque's Gift Set, $149, has three travel-sized candles in Baies (blackcurrant leaves and Bulgarian rose), Feuille de Lavande (lavender leaf) and Figuier (green fig).

L'Occitane Mom and Baby Balm, $26.95 (50ml), is an all-natural, all-purpose salve to soften and nourish the most sensitive skin. Ideal for both mother and child.

Cote Bastide Pamplemousse Bath Salts, $68, has eight muslin-wrapped bundles laced with a refreshing grapefruit scent to enliven the bath and soothe the body.

Scottish Fine Soaps Coconut Milk Bath Milk, $23, will leave skin smooth and silky with its rich infusion of coconut milk and vitamin E.

Aesop's A Rose By Any Other Name, $45, is a revitalising body treatment based on a blend of aromatic botanicals to hydrate the driest of skins.

Floret Flowers In A Bottle Body Lotion, $90, is a luxurious body cream laced with an irresistibly feminine blend of sweet pea, oriental fronds and lily of the valley.
