Which aftershave to get for teenage ds?

I'm starting to do my christmas shopping and I'm working through his list. All he's asked for is games and films. I'd like to get him an aftershave too. Which aftershaves are teenage boys wearing now?

We've bought teenage DN, CK Shock. Last year we bought him CK One and he loved it. We wanted something light because teenage boys are not known for being light with the application of smellies!

Jake from Hollister is cool as far as I know. It also smells lovely, i'd like DP to wear it but he might be a bit old at 31.

I agree, 13, 14 year olds seem to like Hollister - they grow out of it quickly though so don't buy more than one, they're very fickle (saying this knowing there are about 5 unused bottles in the wardrobe Angry ) . . .

Davidoff Cool Water is classic and easily likeable.

I'm buying my son some Knize Ten - he's 15 and it's far too sophisticated for him really, but I love it and am planning on nicking it occasionally

My nephew wears Millions by Paco Rabane. He's worn it for a couple of years now, he is 17, smells gorgeous.

I just bought my DS (14) a bottle of good old Joop!

I second Davidoff Cool Water, my son has worn it since he grew out of Lynx (at about 16 yoa). Its light and fresh and smells "clean".

Armani code, Armani diamonds are a safe bet and that one that looks like a gold bar. I think that Boss by Hugo Boss is a great frangrance. Smells lovely!!

Thank you for all the ideas. I used to wear CK one when I was a teen and it brings back memories of being young and carefree every time I smell it Smile I love Joop but it would just be wrong on my ds, that one will be saved for dh only Blush I'm liking the sound of Jake from Hollister. I'm going to make a list and pop to Boots. Thank you all again.

If's his first, Lynx has some good smellies eg Africa

I'm looking for something for 14yo DS.

Jake Hollister sounds good - please tell me it's not ridiculously overpriced like most of the stuff in that shop (I think I already know the answer).

Knize Ten Shock Wowser ! Grin

My 14yo still sprays on Lynx Blush

Do your 14 yo shave? (Nosy emoticon)

Lacoste is very trendy amongst younger people.

I think the Hollister stuff is about £25 but it lasts as it's quite strong. (I don't think Hollister clothes are too bad actually, not like Jack Wills stuff. It lasts ages, is decent quality and there is always sale stuff.) They have an offer on body products just now too which is a good option - 3 for £12 maybe? Body spray etc

I must have the 3 for £12 wrong - but there's definitely an offer if you buy three of these in store, and it's cheaper than buying one aftershave

Jack Wills after shave is good though, and cheaper than the clothes! 25% off when you enter FRIEND at checkout:

In my experience Lynx is the only one they think is cool.

Which is a great pity as it is nasty cheap smelly stuff

Asks DS if he'd like to come to Hollister to smell cologne

"What about me says I'm the sort of person who wants to go into Hollister with his mother ?"

My soon to be 15yr old has asked for 1 Million by Pacco Rabanne. I checked it out in the shops today and the assistant said it's the most popular choice of younger teenage boys. Smells good :)
