Aftershave did a teenage boy

DS will be turning 13 next week and has asked for Bvlgari Men in Black. It’s seems a touch expensive for a 13 year old so I was wondering what your teens are wearing.

Any suggestions welcome - thank you

And clearly that should be - Aftershave for a teenage boy!

Zara have some lovely ones.
Also the Abercrombie signature scent is lovely too.

His brother has an Abercrombie one and he doesn’t want the same - but I’ll have a look in Zara at the weekend. Thank you.

Aftershave for a 13 year old seems a bit weird to be honest.

No more weird than a 13 year old girl asking for perfume.

Next have a few nice ones in their own range.

Burberry then.

Really - why do you think that?

Well, Kate Moss has been in the news a lot recently. Pete Doherty is also at some revived Libertines concerts currently. They have both been in the news and the they wore a lot of Burberry and they also started to get their shit together very young, so it is a brand name that just came to me.

Sorry - I meant why do you think it’s weird? His brother got his first one at a similar age - I’ve asked if he’s sure and he says there is nothing else he wants other than a new speedo kick-board and sweets and money (which he will never ever spend).

He had a look around a perfume shop on holiday, while I spent ages looking for something new and then bought my usual. I suppose that is where the idea came from.

DS likes Sauvage. It’s not cheap though.

stormsurfer · 01/09/2022 21:26

Lacoste- the white one.

I just bought CK One for DS who turned 13 last week, he loves it and I think it’s quite light and fresh for a young teen.

ScarlettDarling · 01/09/2022 22:25

My son’s first proper aftershave was One million. He’s 18 now and it’s still a favourite with him.

When my DS first started spraying the Lynx Africa about with gay abandon, a very sage friend of mine told us to buy him something we liked as we’d certainly be smelling it all over the house. We ended up getting him CKOne which might not be that high end but we both liked. So do you like the one your DS wants??

goldfinchonthelawn · 01/09/2022 22:40

Hollister Socal is gorgeous. I used to love it when DSs sprayed too much of that on. Better than Lynx which could trigger my asthma two rooms away!
