Perfume for 13yo

[disneys]

I've just been stalking her Instagram for that. I don't think so, certainly no one like that. I know she likes Mabel and Ed Sheeran. I don't see her a lot cos they live 200 miles away, but I will investigate!

Maybe ask her mum ! I don’t even know who Mabel is … I feel old

I think a 13 year old would look at a Britney Spears perfume and think what the hell..? It’s before their time

I agree. I think the scent/smell is more important from an adult point of view but not a childs. You want to give them something relatable and what thirteen year old relates to britney.
At that age I was into All Saints, so it would be like me getting Celine Dion perfume. I wouldn't have been happy regardless of the smell.
I could see me hiding it behind a book when my friends came over

I got her Hollister's Wave. She was thrilled.

Depending on how grown up you want to go, Next have some for girls. My god daughter is 12 and she uses it. They aren't too heavy or strong.

Ariana Grande
Britney Spears
Ghost
Vera Wang
Marc Jacobs

All look quite pretty and smell good too!

Marc Jacobs dot, light, fruity, fun and refreshing

Britney perfumes are incredible. Midnight fantasy has been my fragrance for years.

This was my favourite one, I might try and get it for old time’s sake!

Ariana Grande

I second this. The REM one is lovely.

Ariana Grande, REM and Cloud are both lovely.
Britney Spears is a classic; I’m 36 and I’ve been wearing it for the past 20 years. Fantasy is sweet, curious is fresh smelling.
CKone is a nice long lasting fragrance but can come across quite masculine.
Lacoste Touch of Pink is really fresh and popular with young teens, and it always smells good.
DKNY Apple fragrance makes me bork but that’s because I wore it endlessly while pregnant.
Anna Sui sometimes smells like literal sugar but the bottles are so cute.
Ralph Lauren in the blue bottle is a popular high end fragrance for teens.

Before I was a nurse I worked for 4 years on the perfume counter. I wear Lush snow fairy, and Ari’s Cloud.

Ghost ones would be quite nice for a teenager

TOTALLY agree. I still wear Blue Ghost (the OG one) for job interviews as it smells great on me.

If she’s a little alternative, Vera Wang does Rock Princess. I wore Rock Princess at my wedding.

It depends on the 13yr old. My 16yr old niece wants Lady Million for Christmas, and that’s because she thinks she’s cool. Some 13yr olds aren’t streetwise or into fashion and names yet.

Britney sells. It’s the Tommy Girl of the 00s.

Always in B&M for a £5!

@Smallpotato you’ve made my night, thank you!

 

[Raininvain]

Eden Perfumes, all vegan and they do quite a few fruit fragrances that young people seem to like. I wear them and I think they are great, long lasting as well.

 

[Saddlesoap]

Thanks everyone.

I'll have a look at the suggestions. I had considered Ariana's and Vera Wangs Rock Princess (I'd like to think she might be a bit alternative as she grows up, but I suspect she won't).

 

[WilmaHun]

Ariana Grande!

 

[Raininvain]

What about asking her or if she doesn't know taking her somewhere like Boots/Body shop/Lush whatever shops are left near you to try some on?.
She might really be wanting Tweed or something like that!

Unfortunately we live over 200miles apart, otherwise I would love that!

I was also going to recommend the body shop.

I always bought this one:

Eau de Toilette | Fragrance Products | The Body Shop

Discover our exquisite range of fragrances with an eau de toilette. Enjoy each one's beauty or create your own signature scent by layering the fragrances.

www.thebodyshop.com

Had this one too : Elizabeth Arden Peach blossom.

 

[Saddlesoap]

I am considering buying my 13yo niece perfume for Christmas. My sister (her mum) won't let her wear any makeup, so I thought fragrance was a compromise on a more 'grown up' gift, which my sister has OK'd.

Any recommendations? £20 or less, and a fun, light scent. Would love something that looks pretty on her dressing table too.

Thanks!

I find Zara the clothes shop have a great selection of perfumes for like £10 for a big bottle

Hi sorry I'm late.
Britney spears perfumes are nice. Quite teenagery. I got my daughter some a couple of years ago, she loves it. (purple bottle)

What did you end up getting her?
