Perfume for a teen

Options
I want to order perfume for a 19 year old but have no idea what to get.

I have heard people like the Britney Spears Fantasy perfume but not smelt it (know anywhere I can?). Not a big budget so the cheaper the better but it has to smell good. Not strong, just soft and subtle.

    Hi anhf

    Light Blue by Dolce and Gabbana is a lovely light fragrance. I got it last year and loads of my friends have bought it after having a test of mine.

    Thank you. Do you know where I could get the cheapest offer? I'm not necessarily looking for a set. The perfume alone is fine.

    Thank you.

    I've not smelt any of them so not sure which one to choose if I did.

    My boyfriend's parents bought me Britney Spears Fantasy perfume. It is a lovely, fresh scent- very subtle. Comes in a very cool looking bottle too!

    I also like the Harajuku perfumes, which are a little too subtle- you have to reapply throughout the day. I have Baby (smells like baby powder, very soft and sweet) Music (can't really place this scent, very fresh though and the most wearable I think) and Love which is a floral scent. They don't have brilliant staying power as I said, but the design is great and they are very collectable They come in two sizes; the smaller one being £10 and the bigger £20 so very affordable too.

    I'm 22 by the way.

    When I was 19 I wouldn't have been to keen on receiving a 'celebrity' perfume. A lot of people I know would have been the same. If you are looking for something at the cheaper end of the perfume scale then there are usually offers on some of the normal brands.

    Obviously, if you know that the 19 year old is a big fan of Britney Spears then ignore everything I said!

    Would you say the Britney one is one of the best perfumes you have for yourself?

    I don't think she's bothered to be honest. Been reading forums where people have mentioned their best perfume and this one has been mentioned many times so really it's about the smell and I don't think she will even care to think whether it is by a certain brand or not.

    I second the harajuku girls perfumes. I don't think a 19 yr old really wants a 'teen' perfume. So...? I personally think is absolutely horrible!

    Harajuku dolls (I like Baby too) or the one in a red tin from Versace these cost about £10, if you want to pay a bit more the best light one imo is Lacoste Pink, I've never met anyone who dosent love this:)
    Thank you for this site Martin
    The time for change has come
    Good luck for the future
