Make Mom feel young again with this pair of whimsical limited-edition scents (available through July), whose citrusy aromas are evocative of carefree summer days. The stouter Daisy Sunshine features soft lily of the valley enveloped in bright, juicy notes of mandarin, lychee and apricot, while the equally sweet Daisy Eau So Fresh Sunshine is more nighttime-appropriate with hits of jasmine, rose and sultry amber wood. Just as uplifting are the bottles, featuring clusters of neon rubber blooms that serve as cheerful bouquets for her vanity. Marc Jacobs Daisy Eau So Fresh Sunshine eau de toilette, 2.5oz $75; and Daisy Sunshine eau de toilette, 1.7oz $65; both at Macy’s, 151 W 34th St between Sixth and Seventh Aves (212-695-4400, macys.com)
