Help Them Discover Their Signature Scent With These Perfumes for Teens
Just like a buying your first bra or making the decision to switch to thongs, wearing perfume is an important — and oftentimes overlooked — rite of passage for teenagers. Finding their signature scent not only signals that that they’ve officially arrived at adolescence but it also signifies the beginning of their journey towards developing their identity and how they want to present themselves to the world.
Encourage this pivotal act of self-expression with a fragrance that will help them enter their teenhood in style. When choosing the best perfumes for teens, it’s best to skip over the mature scents that will make their nose wrinkle as they’re reminded of their grandmother’s overly floral perfume. Instead, take a look at these teen-approved picks that feature trendy hints of vanilla, sparkly fruitiness and the right kind of flowers.
