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!!!

I do like this one, if I can find it on sale or used I'll probably pick it up. It reminds me a lot of a teen victoria secret spray that is trying to act like it's something for the grownups. The only downside is that it doesn't stay long at all for the price point that it's at for me to buy full price. Also, I feel like it's so similar to what I said before that you could just use something like that to get the same affect.

superrr fruity almost smells like a hichew. fun if you want something youthful and nostalgic but I would definitely recommend getting an actual cheap fruity body spray instead because it will have the same effect and longetivity.

Youthful, juicy, tart, fruity body spray. Similar vibes to Venus in Tuberose, but it's more tart and less outside-y. As many others have mentioned, there's a super boozy element to this, and it stays throughout the whole wear. It smells like a fruity vodka to me. If I smelled this on someone, I'd never think it was a perfume; I'd just assume they'd been drinking. I don't love that, so it's a no for me.

Smells like a sweet syrupy blood orange cocktail

wow this perfectly does capture adolescence. It semlls just like a hollister perfume I probably stole from one of my friends in middle school. Really nostalgic with that passion fruit note and even has a waxy, plastic-y hint that smells just like a cheap body spray from the late 2000s early 2010s. I like it alot but not loving how little the bottle matches the feel of this perfume. If anything, it just makes me want to go back and buy the OG hollister one.

Exactly the type of scent my Hollister-loving teenaged sister would be wearing when I came home from college. What a throwback! Definitely going to be wearing out my sample by the pool this summer. Although it's a nice y2k nostalgia bomb, the full bottle is waaay too overpriced for what it is. $150USD for something that smells like a $18 body spray (albeit with much better longevity) is patently absurd.

out of the discovery set, i thought i'd like this one the least. i was very wrong! it's wearable while having fairly photorealistic blood orange and passionfruit notes. the violet leaf and grass blend in well, which results in a grounding green smell. my only grievance is the lack of evolution or development in it at all. it lasts alright and it's unique without being offensive.

The standout of this new line for me. Bright, juicy passionfruit with the perfect back up of green and violet leaf. Fruity but not immature. It evokes the mall scene it’s supposed to, and yet is in no way unwearable, cheap-smelling or headache inducing which is usually how fruity perfumes read to me. An instant love.
