Perfume for an 11 year old??!?!?

My boyfriends 11 year old sister asked for perfume for Christmas. I've been wondering what perfume, if any to get her that wouldn't make her have that 'French whore' smell. I'm considering just buying a nice body spray if I can't find a light perfume.

    LOL! I think I might go to the cosmetics counter at some nice department store and ask a counterperson to suggest a good perfume for an eleven year old. Some are a lot more innocent than others.

    If she is 11 , it might be better to just pick up a light body mist at Bath and Body works . It's great to know what it is you want , or simply wanting to be a little more mature ( applying makeup , wearing perfume , dressing nicely ) at such a young age , but perfume , you can never find anything " light " either it smells like mid 40's woman , or it smells like a early 20's prostitute . Perfume simply just isn't the way to go . I think a light body mist would be perfect for someone her age , considering it still gives you that hint of aroma , without the headache of a perfume . There is one perfume I do like the smell of , it's by Fresh , ( can be picked up at sephora ) it has a lychee smell to it . ( all their perfume are really fruity . Maybe that'll peak up some interest . But do note it's a little on the costly side (65-80) hope this helps

    Since she's 11 years old, what about getting a celebrity fragrance? Find out who her favourite celebrities are and find the perfume, if it smells nice then you should get it! if you don't want to do that, you should go to a department store and look for perfumes that smell nice & age appropriate. If you don't know which one to get, ask one the storekeepers for advice.

    Hope this helps :)

    Check out bath and body works! they have a lot of light smells that are good for younger girls and they usually smell nice and refreshing, and they're not to expensive:)

    just get her something from pink, like a cheap body spray and a scented lotion.
