Advice On What Perfume To Get My DD

12 replies

Hi all,

Need some advice please.

I want to buy my 20 year old daughter some perfume for Christmas but have no clue what perfume youngsters wear these days.

She is at uni so it’s not like I can check out her stuff in her room to see what she has. I know she only has one bottle that we bought her a while back but can’t remember what it was.

Would love some ideas please.🙏

My DD is the same age and her signature scent is Armani Si.

At that age they’ll want to experiment a bit so maybe choose one of two smaller sized perfumes from popular brands?

Dd is 18 and we've just bought her Alien. Got to say ordered it online - came in a lovely box with some free samples. Im ordering Angel Halo on the back of this in the new year.
She also likes Prada.

Prada paradox intense

Paco Rabanne Million Gold. - BEAUTIFUL scent

M & S Pink Pepper.

Prada Paradox but it’s very expensive.

Good Girl would be my DD’s next choice.

M & S Pink Pepper.

This is an absolute bargain at the moment if you think she might like a variety to try (the M&S ones are mostly reasonable dupes of big name scents): www.marksandspencer.com/full-fragrance-collection/p/hbp60739819?intid=mobile_app_pdp_share

They all seem obsessed with vanilla at the moment, Kayali and Phlur vanillas are on my daughter’s wishlist. She’s also mad about Billy Eilish and Cosmic Kylie Jenner perfumes. Whatever TikTok tells them to smell like basically.
I was wearing the Kayali marshmallow fragrance the other day and all the young ones in work were telling me it was their favourite perfume. I got it in a beauty box and it’s not really me but I know my daughter will love that too.

Ooh or the Kayali discovery set if you think she'd prefer a known brand www.boots.com/kayali-discovery-layering-set--10365180

Merry Christmas everyone.🎄🌲

Agree on the kayali bougie marshmallow. I have a little bottle which cost £25 and I love it even though I didn't think I'd like it on paper! And I think it's kinds of a cool brand for the youngsters.

Dior Libre intense or Prada paradox both have some vanilla in
