| I'm looking to make a last minute purchase of cologne for my 15 year old. What are young teen boys wearing these days? I'm guessing he wants a name brand and whatever is popular right now. Thanks in advance! |
| Sephora has a cologne sampler pack with a voucher for a full size bottle when you pick your favorite. |
Last I checked that sampler set was sold out at every Sephora but I was able to get it at a Kohl’s Sephora so check that. Also got for my 15 year old. |
These would have been perfect but I wanted too long and the sampler is sold out everywhere. |
| What’s your price point, OP? |
Would prefer to stay under $100 |

Dior Sauvage seems to be all the rage among teens and twentysomethings. It’s not subtle though. It’s like the new Drakkar Noir.
Acqua di Gio is probably the closest thing to a sure bet that broadly appeals to most people and is fairly subtle. |

Also, get the Acqua di Gio EDT, unless your son has a preference.
EDTs are good for teens because they initially smell more impressive than EDPs, but the scent fades faster—which is ideal for a demographic that historically tends to overapply cologne. |

| I’ve been getting my boys (14 & 12) body sprays. They’re less likely to overdo it and they’re inexpensive. This year it’s the Kenneth Cole Blue and Black scents. I was amused they still sell ckOne and Eternity…hasn’t it been 35+ years? For their birthdays in summer - Cristian Ronaldo CR7 sprays. I’m saving actual cologne for when they’re older. They have no idea what fragrances are trendy. |
| My almost 15 year old has a Gaultier cologne he likes and it smells pretty nice. |
| Another option is Nordstrom rack, I bought two mini fragrances for my son there for his stocking. They had a lot of selection. |
