Thread Starter 
Hey, im 17 years old. I have one perfume and that is a Van Gils Basic Instinct that i got last christmas. I don't really like it and im tired of it. Im looking for one or two new ones, where one should be for every day use and one for special occacions. Anyone have some suggestions? Preferably something the girls like . It's not very usual to wear cologne where i live, so i dont think any scents is "used up"

Sounds like Acqua Di Gio by Armani is for you!

That's a super popular cologne everywhere else in the world. Even if you stand out where you live, you won't anywhere else you go. Smells pretty good, so you might not care, but just something to think about.


Fragrances you should check out are-

Kenneth Cole: Reaction
Kenneth Cole: Black
Lacoste: Pour Homme
Lacoste: Essential
Lacoste: Style In Play
Kenzo: L'Eau Par Kenzo Pour Homme
Issey Miyake: L'Eau D'Issey



Just as some starting off points.

I'd recommend trying several samples at either the department stores or sample & decant websites, such as Lucky Scents. Also consider your budget as well. Have you investigated niche fragrances or just mainstream? Most teenagers I know wear Aqua di Gio. Good luck to you.
