Teen boy fragrance suggestions please

I need some help from Mums of teen boys please.

I have 2 DS 17 and 15 who are both autistic. I am gently trying to encourage them to take more interest in personal grooming and hope that if I get them a good quality men’s fragrance for Christmas this will help. As they take little interest in what’s ‘cool’ I need advice on what is on your teen’s Xmas lists so I don’t get my choices horribly wrong!

In the same vein, they both live in tracksuits (sensory issues) and I’d like to buy them hoodies. Nike, Adidas or is another label more in favour?

Thank you wise Mumsnetters

Would this be an option:

I thought a selection might be useful. They do hoodies too.

I don’t support Nike so won’t buy it new at least, although the kids like it. Adidas is good, hollister, jack jones & north face. Although H&M or Uniqlo are good too

smells - our 16 year old likes the finer things but is happy with ‘dupe’ scents although we’ve got him a Versace scent for Christmas

Thank you. These suggestions are really useful

mine like ck one and ted baker

Can't go wrong with CK One or CKIN2U like pp said or Zara do really nice "dupe" fragrances and they are reasonably priced.

17yo DS here who loves his aftershaves!

He’s asked for JPG Le Male this Christmas. Other favourites are Armani Stronger with You (my favourite of his), Dior Sauvage, JPG Le Beau. A cheaper but really lovely one is Afnan 9pm and a couple of the Zara dupes (Night Pour Homme II a particular favourite).

In terms of tracksuits, he is very faithful to Nike, but also likes Lyle and Scott and Uniqlo. Side note…the Uniqlo tracksuits are really good value I think and wash beautifully and keep their shape much better than his Lyle and Scott one which was more expensive!

Thanks all, the orders are in! Happy Christmas 🎅🏻
