Perfume for a tween please

28 replies

Can I ask for recommendations for a light perfume/eau de toilette for a tween girl please? It's for her birthday which always creeps up quickly so close after Christmas!

I’d ask first, there are so many places that perfume isn’t even allowed.

It’s subjective to the person wearing it.

@Wrenna I dont understand.

I'm just looking for recommendations for a tween so she can feel grown up, she got a dressing table for Christmas, but nothing too heavy, sexy or grown up.

Budget?

Marc Jacobs Daisy
Vera Wang Princess

Or Victoria's Secret body sprays are popular too

Rockbird · 27/12/2020 20:21

My 12yo is obsessed with Ariana Grande perfume, as is her cousin. Smells like an explosion in a sweet shop but anyway...

thatwouldbeanecumenicalmatter · 27/12/2020 20:22

Vera Wang (purple bottle sorry I can't remember the name) and Ghost Sweetheart are light/fruity and cheap enough for a tween gift.

Martinisarebetterdirty · 27/12/2020 20:23

Zara do some perfumes in their girls’ range, might be a bit young though.

NOT Christina Aguilera stuff - I'm looking at you mil, bought for dd 2 years in a row.

Bagelsandbrie · 27/12/2020 20:25

Anything Britney Spears. My 17 year old loves Fantasy and has done for years.

MBM18 · 27/12/2020 20:25

Britney Spears - Fantasy
Still one of my favourite perfumes, very sweet smelling.

LynetteScavo · 27/12/2020 20:30

Marc Jacobs Daisy Dream is nice and light

lms2017 · 27/12/2020 20:38

The body shop ! Do nice ones like vanilla , coconut etc just natural smells but pretty ! I suffer with daily chronic migraines and I can tolerate most of these not heavy or in your face xx

giddyasakipper · 27/12/2020 20:40

I agree that Daisy would be perfect but if you want something a bit cheaper (but still good quality) then M&S do some lovely ones!

Comefromaway · 27/12/2020 22:00

Next also do some lovely ones.

AlwaysCheddar · 27/12/2020 22:10

Hollister body sprays

247SylviaPlath · 27/12/2020 22:10

Try tommy girl by Tommy Hilfiger - much requested by our teens

247SylviaPlath · 27/12/2020 22:11

Good deal on it here (website is reputable - use them often): www.fragrancedirect.co.uk/tommy-hilfiger-tommy-girl-gift-set-50ml-0114482.html

CoolCatTaco · 27/12/2020 23:10

Victoria Secret body spray or Arianna Grande.

girlcrushonvillanelle · 27/12/2020 23:21

The Zara girls one is gorgeous.

I buy expensive perfume (Dior, Tom Ford, Gucci).

And I almost prefer my daughters!!

13 year old loves the Ariana Grande one and Britney’s fantasy.
