Aftershave For 18Yr Old

[Helyg15]

Hi, what is the best aftershave to get an eighteen year old lad who likes his labels I.e. Super dry, jack wills etc and looking smart. Don't want to get him something that's too old or not 'cool' Thanks

Don't go there - too risky - get him a relevant gift voucher.

Joop Homme [i]rarely fails ;-)[i].

Joop Homme....avoid at all costs...nearly as many hate it as like it...

I bought nephews john paul gaultier...they are 21 and 26..cost a small fortune so they better like it !

....but NOT for a teenager!

We were at Boots on Sunday with my teenage son trying out colognes. these are his thoughts

Joop ok ( I thought it was disgusting)

CK one -too girlie ( I loved it)

Paco Rabanne 'Invictus' Really good ( I thought it was quite nice too)

Apparently Invictus was the best seller last year

^^^my "NOT" comment was for Tabac, btw!

Paco Rabane - Invictus

Brut and Old Spice a no no.
My two always wanted designer expensive phoo phoo. Tommy Hilfiger has come down in price from the days when they thought it was the dogs doo dahs. My youngest son 33yrs sometimes buys joop. I prefer Floris Elite but start saving now for next year. :-)

Tabac I associate with dads more than kids

I forgot -my eldest sons favourite is on offer at boots at the moment

I'm always wary about "bestsellers"...it means you'll smell like everybody else!

[Retrochic]

gingjbee -I think that's the whole point with teenagers ;-)

If you avoid the standard 'old men' aftershaves like Old Spice and Aaramis, you should be OK.

Cool Water is very nice - fresh and not too sweet.

Qurum is nice, and not many people wear that.

Otherwise, a 'non-cheap' brand should be fine - it really is a matter of personal taste - which is why I would give Joop a wide birth - far too strong and sickly!
