Need help choosing a gift

Thread Starter 
It's the birthday of a close female friend of mine in a few days, so I'm getting her something as a present. I know a little about male fragrances, but I'm completely lost when it comes to women's. The few that I had in mind are really summer fragrances, so those wouldn't be appropriate for the long winter ahead here, but nothing too heavy either. She's 21 (but she could easily pass for a 16 year old).

Your advice would be appreciated!

I am generally lost too when it comes to female fragrances.

When I am in that situation, I check the bottom of the opening screen where there is a list of the most popular women's and shared fragrances. I pull up each review. If it sounds interesting, I check at the bottom of the review to see what other fragrances are liked by the people who like the fragrance I am reading about.

Before you know it, you are learning about a lot of fragrances and one (or more) will click with you.

Can she easily pass as a 16 year old because of her appearance or how she acts? If the latter I'm guessing she likes sweet fragrances and so I'd recommend Coco Mademoiselle by Chanel or perhaps Angel by Thierry Mugler. Best to find out a bit more about what kind of perfume she likes. Good luck!
