Teenage boy fragrance (can't call it aftershave!)

Hi, I'd like to buy our 13 year old son a decent fragrance for Christmas, but really have no clue which one's are popular for his age! He likes his labels, such as Tommy Hilfiger, Champion etc.

I'm not into perfume myself so it's not something I take any notice of.

Any suggestions gratefully received, thanks :)

Paul Smith have quite a few nice ones that aren't too expensive.

David Beckham

Winterdaysarehere · 09/12/2019 20:26

Any Jupe fragrance is popular here. Ds 15 +18.

Try looking at Adidas too they often do a gift set with a few little bottles in

tornmum1 · 09/12/2019 20:30

David Beckham or Hugo boss dark blue.

Brilliant thread OP, and thanks for PPs suggestions

Disfordarkchocolate · 09/12/2019 20:32

David Beckham is lovely, I was very surprised.

CanICelebrate · 09/12/2019 20:34

Diesel ‘only the brave’ smells great (a lot better than the David Beckham slightly cheaper ones imo) and my teenage ds loves it

RoseDog · 09/12/2019 20:36

My DS 14 is not a fan of the David Beckham range but likes Only the Brave

Yes to Orange Boss fragrance too!

doublecheeseburgermediumfries · 09/12/2019 20:43

We sell Laboratory Perfumes. The "Amber" scent is lovely!! £65 so not sure how in your price rang this would be but it's really good!!

itcamefrombeckyvardyself · 09/12/2019 20:47

Hollister is nice

TimeforanotherChange · 09/12/2019 20:52

Another vote for David Beckham. DS 14 likes it and surprisingly so do I.

AndNoneForGretchenWieners · 09/12/2019 20:55

David Beckham is what DS had as a first fragrance. Unfortunately since then, he's developed a liking for insanely expensive stuff, like his dad and older brother before him.. he now only uses Ralph Lauren Polo Red, Viktor & Rolf Spicebomb or Chanel Allure Homme Sport (inherited the last from his dad and only wears it on special occasions).

Heymummee · 09/12/2019 20:56

I also vote David Beckham. My son wears it and I always comment on how nice he smells when he’s wearing it, I notice it and it’s much nicer than his other ones.

PlumsGalore · 09/12/2019 21:06

One more for DB, DS age 25 got some in a naff set from his gran, and was going to use it as room spray, he actually liked it and ended up wearing it for every day. It is nice, I think there was more than one and I’m not sure which it was, yet probably the cheapest knowing his gran.

PlumsGalore · 09/12/2019 21:08

Instinct, that was the one, and yes the cheapest. Half price in Boots right now 😀

Comefromaway · 09/12/2019 21:09

Boss Orange is really nice but expensive. David Beckham is nice too but cheap.

SpeckledyHen · 09/12/2019 21:11

Paul Smith Extreme in the striped box .

The Christiano Ronaldo one is very nice, about £20
