What's an excellent long lasting scent for a 17 year old that everyone will notice?

Hmm! Okay well I've been lurking these forums for the past hour, and it seems everyone here is around 22+, I'm 17 so maybe my tastes and other girls' tastes may differ.

Anyways, I bought a body spray, just 10 bucks @ Aeropostale called Benton, it smells very fruity and nice, but the best part about it fades in about 10 minutes!

I need a scent that people will notice(especially the ladies) and won't fade after an hour.

What scents do women like anyways? The Benton spray I liked a lot, it didn't smell musky, heavy or tobacco like, and actually made me hungry for chocolate or candy or something.

For some reason I'm getting hungry just listening to people's descriptions of scents here....

Thanks for your help!

Oh! One more thing, what are all the differences between perfumes,colognes, body sprays. As far as I know colognes last longer than sprays.

Forgot to mention, not many places where I can get scents where I live, except for clothing stores. It'd help if you gave a description of what you suggest(Ex: Citrusy, long lasting)

Go to your local Ross, Marshalls, or TJMaxx and look for the box in the picture below they usually sell it for like $19.99 for a 1.7oz if you can find it. This is good scent that girls your age should like, it is a sweet gourmond type scent.

Crap, all the stores you listed are all 100 miles out of reach. I guess I'll experiment with amazon...but I've seen a few dodgy customer reviews saying something about fakes.

What are some stores that are close to where you live. To get a better idea what kinda selection you have, maybe I can help.

At your age Le Male will be the holy grail scent if not to many guys around your area wear it, that one never fells at getting compliments but it is very over used where I live.

Hmm you are better off shopping online cause from the looks of the store selection you will be paying full retail for sure. Check this site out down below, and use the coupon code "basenotes" this will give you an extra 15% off. I have bought stuff off this site and I have never had a problem yet.

When you go to view your shopping bag in the middle left you should see where it saids "Enter your Coupon, Gift Certificate
or Gift Card code below" and below that is a box enter it there and once you hit apply you should see how much it took off in the middle.

MI smells better than Unforgivable IMO. Unforgivable Multi Platinum is really nice, but you can't really find it anymore. Try Ed Hardy's love and Luck for a similar vibe.

I prefer Unforgivable over MI myself. But I do owe you an apology, I broke out my Love & Luck sample and you're right, very similar to MI, maybe a tad sharper in the middle.

Keep in mind that if you want to smell different than everyone else around you, if you want to stand out a bit (and a fragrance will only help a small bit, if the truth be told), then you can't shop where everyone else does -- especially if the shopping options in your area are quite limited. Fortunately, in this day and age of the Internet, the world is quite literally your oyster.

You should try Joop! Jump. It is great but bit youthfull for me (I am 29 and this smells more like its for teens). Good projection and longevity.

Personally, Unforgiven, Rochas Eau, and Le Male are the ones most interesting me at the moment, I just can't decide between them!
