Most liked fragrances by younger girls?

post #1 of 40

Thread Starter 
I did a search before posting this but was unable to find any thread listing colognes targeted at younger girls other than the high school one.

My question is, which fragrances are younger women (Ages 17-25) most fond of?

I've heard good things about:

Abercrombie Fierce
Chanel Allure Homme Sport
Rochas Man

Are there any others that you guys can recommend?


Edit: I've also read that Aqua Di Gio, Azzaro Chrome, Drakkar Noir, Jean Paul Gaultier, and Davidoff Cool Water are good, but i've also read that they're really over-used and i'd rather not smell like their brother, their ex, and three other guys they sat next to on the bus.

I've heard Abercrombie Fierce fits into that overused category too, but i'm from Canada so i'm hoping that it's less popular around here.

The three you have in that list are all great. Some others: Boss Bottled, Dior Homme Intense (universally loved), Fuel for Life, AdG, Le Male, Mugler Cologne, Curve...

I'd go with Fierce if you're outside of the USA or Chanel Allure Homme Sport (or Edition Blanche) if you're inside the USA. You'll probably end up owning Rochas Man, too!

EDIT: These ones are probably good for up to 20. Personally, at 22, I would not wear any of them other than Fierce and Dior Homme Intense.

In my younger days, L'eau D'issey used to go down a storm. But it's another very common one, so probably not what you're after.

  • Gender:
To this date, in my case at least, Davidoff Cool Water - girls notice it and like it. Truth be told it is hardly worn by men here. Here you'll smell mostly something from Hugo Boss, or PR 1 Million or JPG Le Male

All kinds. And most of it depends on who's wearing them.

Hi SillyRabbit. Nice thread!

I always shoot 3-4 sprays of Black XS before I head off to the local high school, where I seek friendly 17 year olds girls to talk to.

From what girls of that age group have told me so far, Ck One, ADG and Eau d'Issey seem to be among their faves

I would say ADG, Love and Luck, Fuel For Life, Le Male, 1 Million, and Unforgiveable for younger women. Also, as someone else said, don't overlook Cool Water either.

In general I would say to impress that age anything that is fresh or aquatic is going to work just fine. At that age they haven't smelled these types of fragrances dozens and dozens of times, so what's old and boring for a lot of us on this board is going to be new and exciting for them. I'd stay away from any sort of powerhouse scent from the 70s or 80s or anything that's too masculine, as it's going to be very difficult for you to pull off at this age and you don't want to smell like their dad.

Fair warning that all of the fragrances you listed are fairly common though with the exception of Rochas Man, so while you may smell very good you're not going to be unique. If that's a concern of yours as you mentioned, there are lots of great choices out there that are less known than the ones you mentioned that will accomplish the same goal. I would say go to Macy's or somewhere else where they have testers and completely disregard what the SA says (as at this age they are probably going to direct you to some of their bestsellers) and just spray a bunch of different things and form your own conclusions

I was joking with you based on the title "Most liked fragrances by younger girls?".

I'll go ask Chris Hansen after he tells me "Why don't you have a seat over there?"

Seriously, I imagine young ladies like what they are accustomed to...which will likely be fairly affordable mass marketed stuff.

Fierce, as long as you don't have an Abercrombie store in your town. No need to buy anything other than the smallest sized bottle, 1-2 sprays is enough for a full day of wearing.
