teen

In my opinion, the best offering from this house. Punchy, bright, and tart. It’s sweet and fruity, nearly making my mouth water. Like sitting on the beach with friends on a tropical island eating fruit. The notes are so realistic to me and I think that’s what makes it more elevated than your teen body spray. It’s Victoria Secret without the synthetic smell. The vacation getaway of your dreams. Despite the fact that the scent is fleeting, I think the three hours of bliss is well worth it.

A juicy, tart, delicious little mocktail of a fragrance. initially overwhelming but doesn't stay that way and wears on the skin nicely. lasting power is moderate but for this fragrance i think it's ideal. i'm immediately transported back to my childhood home and all i care about is the next episode of That's So Raven and playing one of those MyScene computer games that instilled a false hope for what being an adult would be like.

Does what it says on the tin. This is a photorealistic popular girls’ locker. Many perfumes have done the “elevated body mist” thing (see DS&Durga’s Black Magenta [plastic pineapple], Byredo’s Sundazed [candy neroli], or – my personal fave – Room 1015’s Wavechild [watermelon sunscreen]) but Teen takes the cake for most literal execution. (Unfortunately, even down to the flighty longevity). The passionfruit is bang on and lends a decidedly tropical vibe, while a thread of cool, clean violet evokes the feeling of dewy-fresh stock photo fruit. This passionfruit-violet combo jives much better with my nose here than in Arielle Soshana’s Saturday, and I can't get enough of it. But all this talk of tropical top notes and violet undertones may be reading too much into it. It smells like y2k fruity body spray, straight copy-pasted from my junior high trauma. I love it, I hate it, I wish I could be her, but I never could. Mental Snapshot: First day of seventh grade. First day of gym class. Somehow, over the summer, everyone got the puberty memo except for you. As you sheepishly change back into your oversized Animal Planet tee from the Target boys’ collection, the locker room smells like this. (This may or may not be autobiographical). tl;dr: mallrat queen 🌺🍬

Mouth watering, sweet tropical fruit. Doesn't project the loudest or linger the longest but stays just long enough. I'm not typically a fan of fruity fragrances because I find them to be sickly syrupy sweet. But Teen, while there is an intoxicating initial sweetness, dries down to an airy - almost chilled - fruity sweetness. Like a refrigerated pineapple. Or passion fruit in a chilly mall full of recirculated air. I think I want a full bottle. I think I want full bottles of the entire line.

Bright, fruity, punchy, and a tiny little bit sour. Not at all in a bad way. The passion fruit is the most prominent note in here throughout the life of the fragrance. It is exactly what it says it is, an elevated body mist. It’s sweet, playful, a little bit childish, in all the best ways. So so fun for summer, goung out with friends, shopping, or to the beach. Also perfect to wear when you are missing the feeling of being young. I will be wearing this in the summer!!!
