My mom checked out the perfume in hollister several weeks ago while she was waiting on me. She told me a few days ago that she liked one of the perfumes in there and I could get it for her for Christmas. I was shocked. Mom is in her mid 50s, an elementary school teacher, and likes softer scents. Is it most likely malaia or ryder?

I'd go with Maliya, it's more floral but still on lighter side.
