Nothing too grown up but obv not Axe deodorant! Am thinking of one of the Calvin Klein ones perhaps? What is nice?

Many thanks!

I bought my nearly 16 year old a set from Body Shop. Its called Activist and seems quite nice and not too overpowering.

They had a special offer and I got him the deoderant to go with it. I think the whole lot (bag, underarm, aftershave, shower gel) cost be about £20.

My DS who is 14 uses Lynx if that helps at all.

I bought my little brother (who would have been about 17) Space NK Man a couple of years ago and it was a big hit - he has even requested replacement bottles!

thank you all for your suggestions. Will try out lots at the weekend and see how I smell! Its hard to buy perfume etc as a present as its such a personal thing but I do want it to be a surprise.

another vote for CKone, also Roger et Gallet vetyver - nice and lemony - anything to steer them away from the overuse of horrible deodorant

no- he should be focusing on school work and healthy activities like the scouts, not spraying himself to smell like a tart's boudoir

Ecape by Calvin Klein is very young and fresh smelling.

V cheap at the site I've linked to too!
