“Grown up” perfume for teen

[JumperandJacket]

DD14 would like some perfume for Christmas but not one of the brands aimed at teens. She doesn’t know which one and would like a surprise.

Any suggestions? I had thought of Coco Mademoiselle but it might be a bit too girly as her style is quite androgynous.

The Chanel Chance range is aimed at young women and DD had most of those plus some of the Burberry ones at about that age. She also likes Twilly. The Eau Fraiche Chance (green) isn't "girly".

What about Gucci Memoire d’une Odeur? Was recommended to me on here (full disclosure: I am not a teenage girl). Advertised by Harry Styles so might have some street cred there. Herbal smelling so not at all sweet and girly. Not too strong. I like it.

Hugo Boss Hugo or D&G Light Blue.

Both not overly girly and would suit a teen.

That’s really helpful- thanks. I will go and give them a sniff.

Perfume is such a personal thing... why not take her shopping to buy one? So she can try it and see if if she likes it

I’m thinking light and floral?

Daisy by Marc Jacobs
Clinique Happy
Nina by Nina Ricci
Light Blue D&G

These are all quite old but I wore these when I was younger and still love all of them 💕

Eau de Mademoiselle de Givenchy - currently on offer at TK Maxx! 😃

Zara also do some great ones, Twilight Mauve (I think it is) is dd's fave but I love it too.

The original Stells McCartney

Have you thought about getting a box from The Perfume Society? Each one has a range samples of various sizes. I've had 3 and they have been great.

When one of my dds wanted perfume, I just waited until a non-Britney Spears/Rihanna perfume was on offer at Savers - I ended up with CK One, which smells quite pleasant.

And, more to the point, DD was happy with it.

The problem about the perfume society boxes is that often the samples are of niche or very expensive perfumes that she’s unlikely to be able to afford a full size bottle of …,

Olympia or Lady Million by Paco Rabanne. Heaven in a bottle.

Daisy by Marc jacobs is lovely and fresh - grown up and not too floral, might suit her? I love it and not particularly girly and definitely a grown up

Cloud Ariane Grande,my teens love it

Lolita lempicka
Hugo boss can't remywhat it's called but it's deep red colour. Might be called deep red actually.

Calvin Klein - Euphoria.

My teen and 20’s like the Ariana Grande ones.

LK Bennett signature, it's a bit musky but not hastily so.

Glossier. Youthful brand and the scent is gorgeous.

My 16 year old teen loves Marc Jacobs Daisy

I came on to say Glossier You, it's really nice but subtle. I wear it day to day and get lots of compliments, including from my friend's fifteen year old who pinches it when she comes round (she asks). I've bought her a bottle for her birthday and my friend thinks she'll be thrilled.

@EvelynBeatrice Some Perfume Society Discovery Boxes are a bit niche but the Launches we Love box is fabulous and has loads of High Street favourites.

@jumperandjacket For a teen who doesn't want ten perfume as such, I would suggest Carolina Herrera Good Girl, Davidoff Cool Water for Her, Vera Wang (for the pretty bottles), or Jimmy Choo.

teen not ten

I loved getting perfume chosen for me when I was a teen and early 20s! Seemed to be quite quick turnover of fashion trends.

Daisy is lovely it's been around a few years - wonder what the 'new daisy is'. I find it doesn't last very long but is still always have a bottle in the go.

As per a pp Also would look at the saver deals n Superdrug and boots they can be really good value way of finding your favourite scents. Boss femme I've had before and like but didn't rebuy - Lacoste touch of pink worth a try.

Coco Mademoiselle is ok but I've gone of recently it and have worn it for 15 years plus.

Chanel Gabrielle is nice and chance but I don't have them

Allure is my favourite but a bit old fashioned.
