Making teenage boys smell nice

[Louis Balfour]

I need to buy cologne for two teenage boys.

One of them is a bit into that sort of thing. Is there a safe “go to” for EDT for the discerning youth?

The other isn’t that image-conscious but would probably use an antiperspirant deodorant.

Can the more fragrant among you please comment? Any of you who think Brut, Hai Karate or Old Spice are the answer, please fight the desire to post your thoughts.

Many thanks.

You could always take them to a John Lewis and let them choose themselves.

If they smell worse than neutral now then it won't work

And they will put too much on anyway.

Can I ask, is it the aerosol or ball type ..................?

Surely they all start with Lynx

I genuinely find Sure the best deodorant. Smells nice enough too for work/school.

The first thing you need to do is teach them how to clean themselves properly using a bar of soap in the shower. Getting the soap into the areas that never see the light. Seems obvious but don't take anything for granted with teenagers.
And then after that teach them how to leave the bathroom as they found it. Teenagers are revolting things. Also make sure they close the door before they paint themselves in vomit inducing Lynx.
And don't get me started on teenage girls. The Russians and Chinese have a lot to learn on chemical warfare.
Just thought I would add this to get another edited footnote. Is there a record for footnotes?

I did actually retype my first post.

It was Issey Miyake for Men when I was 18, but that was 22 years ago.

They still make it.

And read it in a mock-swedish accent.

You think the title is bad, have you read Fallingup's post?

First - practice on a wet Labrador.

Once you've your your technique -down - only then, attempt your teenage lads ...

It’s such a personal thing.

Maybe have a look at someone like endclothing who sell a lot of “cool” brands that will appeal to a young audience (I think lol)

Penhaligans do a fragrance selector on their website that is really cool but also very traditional, not sure how “teenage” it is. https://www.penhaligons.com/uk/en/fragrance-profil...

https://www.dsanddurga.com/collections/perfume-all Are my go to at the moment, but are really not everyone’s cup of tea.
