In a Rush' Round-Up
Why buy a perfume as a teenager?
Feeling comfortable in your scent and skin can work wonders for your day.
Whether it be acing your Mid-term test, or meeting your high school crush, when the fragrance feels like an extension of your personality, you’re more likely to have a confidence-boosting, positive experience.
It is often said that perfumes help us project who we really are and how we truly feel. So there has never been a better time to cultivate your personal preference and develop your unique taste!
The best perfumes for teens are fruity and light
Not to confuse strong lady scents with intense teenage fragrances, it is best to leave classic, rich, and completely floral scents to the ladies; you don’t need intense breathtaking cologne at this age.
Shine on with the fruity, sweetened, and lightly floral scents as a teen. Many perfectly lady-ish fragrances can seem tempting to you at this age, but it’s best to leave the Armani Si, Burberry classic, and Black Opium for later in life.

Miss Dior EDP by Christian Dior
Miss Dior EDP by Christian Dior Review
Miss Dior starts with raspberry and pomegranate notes which are paired with musk. It has a very bright and sweet opening. This is a one-of-a-kind fragrance compared to the rest of the Dior for Her collection.
Fruit notes are intertwined with black currant before the floral notes at a top note level, led by peony and rose.
It has immaculately divine performance and will, without a doubt, last the whole day. It’s not the cheapest option but is highly recommended as a go-to for special occasions and events.
Due to its lighthearted nature, Miss Dior is appropriate for any age but best suited as a perfume for teenage girls and will reflect highly on any person.

It comprises a mixture of notes such as ripe berries, mandarin, and sweet honeysuckle, making the fragrance overly sweet and intense.
The packaging is quite lovely and works well along with the company’s brand image. Although the scent is quite generic, Juicy Couture masters its craft by adding its signature, recognizable notes.
Juicy and fruity musk finish off the scent leaving you wanting to devour the bottle all at once. Exotically juicy as the brand name suggests, anything fragrance from Juicy Couture is teenage appropriate. We picked Viva la juicy due to its exceptional sweetness, extensive longevity, and exquisite packaging.

VIP Private Show by Britney Spears
VIP Private Show by Britney Spears Review
While the original was more of a winter scent, this one trades that in for a playful and fruity fragrance. Allowing users to tailor it to whatever season on whatever occasion. So very Britney of them!
It starts with a blend of apple, raspberry, and blood orange with just a dash of mango.
The enticing, indulgent scent captures the golden sparkle and allure of an intimate Britney performance.

Prada Candy EDP
Prada Candy EDP Review
This scent adds sophistication to the overly sweet scent we are used to seeing across many brands. A mix of musk, vanilla, and sweet Caramel creates the ultimate teen special.
This feminine fragrance is still one of Prada’s best-sellers since 2012, as it projects the vibrant personality every young girl seeks.
The longevity of the Prada Candy is surprisingly impressive; while other brands target the demographic with cheap mixed scents, Prada takes pride in mastering the perfect sweet fragrance for teens.Â

Marc Jacobs Daisy
Marc Jacobs Daisy Review
Released in 2007, this fragrance is one of the most well-known fragrances for female teenagers. It has gained huge popularity due to how pure, subtle, and sweet it is.
Considering it is an eau de toilette, the fragrance is far less concentrated than other fragrances on this list, making it lighter and less pungent than other perfumes on the market.
The fragrance opens up with a fresh scent of violet leaves and wild strawberries, but the heart of the scent is jasmine, gardenia, and grapefruit.
The base is a subtle musk, vanilla, and sandalwood. Because of how light, citrusy, and fresh the scent is, you have probably stumbled across this option numerous times before landing on this page.
Choosing this fragrance is the definition of playing it safe; whether for you, your child, or as a gift, there is no chance of taking a loss on Marc Jacobs Daisy!
Top Notes: Strawberry, Violet leaves, Jasmine
Middle Notes: Gardenia Flower, Grapefruit
Base Notes: Sandalwood, Musk
What we liked
- The intensity
- Combination of sweet and floral
- Appealing sleek packaging
