Aftershave for a 15yo boy

42 replies

ThankYouVeryMuchGerry · 13/11/2021 15:25

I'm looking for something nice for my nephew and he's at an age when he's starting to get into aftershave. I haven't a clue about what sort of things are suitable for boys of that age. I'm getting him a hoody too but I's love to get him a special bottle of aftershave. Something age appropriate and definitely not too heavy. Help please!
Bonus points if I can get him the shower gel etc too. But I don't want a "boots" set - he's my only nephew so I want to get him a lovely bottle.

I think Tommy Now (Tommy Hilfiger) is aimed at younger men or CK One but that might be a bit old fashioned now for teenagers. I'm not really sure. Neither of my boys were ever really into scents. I bought one a holister set one year. But again, if he is really into labels, that might not be high end enough.

What sort of labels is he in to? That might give a clue as to a brand he likes and you can see if there is a suitable aftershave to match?

DS (16) likes David Beckham stuff. The one in a black box. (I am rubbish and can't be more specific than that)

My MIL bought DS the David Beckham one last year and I was surprised by how nice it was!

ElephantOfRisk · 13/11/2021 15:48

The thing with the gift sets is that in the boxes they can look cheap and thoughtless but if you find something nice in a set, you can take it out the box and wrap it up nicely as separate things and it will look more thoughtful and expensive.

Invictus is amazing

I bought Hollister stuff for DS last year, he’s using it regularly now as part of his 6th form image. Grin

Adidas. Lynx. Blue jeans. Are reasonably cheap and not bad for a young boy.
Have a look in Avon analogue too!

This is a nice article that recommends some for teenagers and gives a good description of the scent:

From that age my son wore Millions, Sauvage
Tom Ford and Diesel.

He’s just bought Phantom by Paco Robanne, it comes in a Robot shaped bottle which is very cool and seems popular.

Roselilly36 · 13/11/2021 15:55

My DS’ love Homme by David Beckham, also POLICE To BE, And CK ONE.

WildExcuses · 13/11/2021 15:57

I meant to say my son had had the Sauvage shower gel too and I think the others do shower gels as well. They’re expensive for shower gel though imo.

The David Beckham ones are cheap and surprisingly nice. Next time I go into town I was going to smell the Ted Baker ones as they are reasonably priced too.

I pick by smell, price and brand if I want to look like I'm making an effort. For BF there's usually something like a Hugo Boss or Versace on offer.

@ThankYouVeryMuchGerry Hello, perfume blogger here. I recently wrote a post on this exact topic. I have a 15 yr old son and he loves Davidoff Cool Water. My 12 yr old DS likes Adidas and David Beckham, both very good.

My 15 year old loves ck shock. Its not too expensive and smells lovely

JumperandJacket · 13/11/2021 17:20

DS likes Dior Sauvage.

Newdad19 · 13/11/2021 17:24

I just posted the same on another thread but I would really recommend pack rabanne one million. Really popular for that age group.

It's also have price in boots just now and there is a voucher for an extra £5 off too

BigSandyBalls2015 · 13/11/2021 17:28

DD Sauvage

BigSandyBalls2015 · 13/11/2021 17:28
