Le Labo Jasmin 17
Jasmin 17 is one of those scents that immediately catches one’s attention. Its blend of sandalwood and musk adds depth to the floral notes, creating a light and delightful scent that feels perfectly balanced.

Good thing Le Labo has already opened its doors in Greenbelt 5!

Jo Loves No.42 The Flower Shop
Jo Malone CBE, the founder of Jo Loves, worked at a flower shop on Elizabeth Street when she was 16.

With key notes of crushed green leaves, peonies, and moss, this is a floral fragrance that your mom will love even more than a bouquet.

Korres Cucumber Hyaluronic Spray Sunscreen SPF50
It’s been extra hot this month of May, so why not give her sunscreen? Some may think this an odd gift for Mother’s Day, but what better way to show your love than by giving her something that not only protects her skin from the sun’s damaging rays but also helps cool her down. This is a new type of sunscreen for both the face and body. It has hyaluronic acid, organic cucumber extract, and panthenol to keep the skin hydrated, refreshed, and protected from dehydration caused by saltwater, heat, and the sun.

It also has Immortelle Super Extract, a natural alternative to Retinol, that also helps improve skin volume and structure.
