Help re teenager

My dogs is coming up to 14. I asked him what he would like as a gift. He said, aftershave! I pointed out that there wasn’t a whisker in sight to which he replied that he wanted something to smell nice but not deodorant. He has no idea what he wants so I am appealing to mums of teenage boys. What might he like?

My nephew recently had a young drivers lesson for his 14th birthday!

My DS would probably like a new game for his console. But if he's asked for aftershave I'd give him aftershave!

Dior Sauvage is very popular with DS and his friends

As your dog is coming of age - how about some Brut(e)!!.

I am chuckling about you having a conversation with a pet dog about their desire for aftershave. My own dog could do with something to improve her smell!

For an elderly dog, i would get him a nice comfy bed.

Being more helpful, Hugo Boss was the brand dmil's last 16yo foster child wanted.

I think that when he said aftershave he meant that Eau de toilette would be fine too.

Teen boys are often impressed by the brand so something like CKOne, Lacoste, Hugo Boss, Tommy Hilfiger would go down well.

Should be dgs not dogs! No canine smellies required!

Update
I bought two an Abercrombie and Fitch which was quite expensive and a smaller bottle of Versace Blue Jeans for men. He loved them both but preferred the Blue Jeans which is light citrus/ginger scent and very pleasant.

Why don’t you take him shopping to Boots or somewhere that sells a wide range of aftershaves and let him test a few out?
Then he can pick the one he likes.

I always think aftershave/perfume is a really personal choice as we all like different smells!

There is a Hugo boss miniatures gift set which is good. We got it for ds one Xmas and he picked his favourite for a bottle for his birthday.
