Aftershave for teen

I'm thinking about getting my 13 year-old son some smellies for Christmas. He's not actually shaving yet (still baby-smooth thank God!), obviously I don't want anything heavy or overpowering but perhaps a nice fresh eau de toilette? Any suggestions?

Watching with interest for my smelly lovely 13 year old

Haha re whisper not scream! Yes he already has had Lynx in his Xmas stocking but just the deodorant, I was after something a bit more grown up & 'special' this year. Am sure it was about this age I was just getting my first United Colours of Benetton eau de toilette or first bottle of LouLou (it was the eighties!)

Something not too expensive, citrusy (that needs to be a word!) would be nice?

Tommy hilfiger and Dkny do stuff that is usually citrus and light
Issey miyake is nice too

My 14 year old DS likes Lacoste (fresh and light) and Diesel-only the brave (more for evening). I'm so glad because I was getting well and truly sick of Lynx!

DS doesn't shave yet either and so refuses to call his stuff aftershave, preferring to call it 'fragrance' Smile

Didn't know that Issey Miyake made aftershave! I have the pink Issey Miyake and love it. Have had loads of nice comments about it too.
