Which perfume for a teenager?

18 replies

TheCompactPussycat · 19/12/2023 21:36

DD is 17 and has asked for perfume for Christmas (amongst many other things). I rarely wear perfume and feel clueless about which brands/fragrances would be good for a teenager.

Budget for this is in the £40 region, given what else she has on her list.

Any suggestions?

Mine likes the Ariana Grande ones, the pink cloud is the new one, but they’re a bit sweet for me.

DD (16) has a Christmas temp job on the perfume counter at Boots. She has chosen this one for herself.

Ariana Grande's Ari is one my 18 year old likes. And the bottle is lovely.

I’ve bought Daisy for a teen the same age.

Lovely by Sarah Jessica Parker

sol de janeiro is popular amongst teens

Thank you all!

That's given me some good ideas. Obviously I've left this rather late in the day but hopefully Boots or Superdrug will come good tomorrow.

My teens are having Clinique Happy and Clinique Happy Heart.

I got my daughter Chanel Gabrielle which she had some testers of and loved. I bought the Eilish one for her once but it was unremarkable.

Juicy Couture is a hit with my teen dd.

Both my 19 and 14 year old love Ariana Grande Cloud, Zara Red Temptation (which is a dupe of Baccarat Rouge), Caroline Harrera Good Girl, Gucci Guilty.

Alien Goddess is a nice vanilla one.

Lifeasiknowitisout · 20/12/2023 05:50

Does she just want ‘perfume’ or is there particular likes in scents?

Is it to wear everyday or would she only wear it at weekends when I’m out with her friends etc

B&M do some body sprays of perfumes for about £7, like the blue Ariana, which is a cheaper way of getting the perfume.

Are you near a Zara? If you're on a budget their perfumes are amazing! Last really well and they have a large selection with some good dupes.
