Perfumes for girls have stepped up their game. Not only are young-at-heart fragrances now more sophisticated; they’re also bringing unique and daring perfume combinations to the table. 

Your first perfume matters a great deal: It creates the backdrop to your favorite teenage memories and will be the aromas that transport you from your teenage years into adulthood.

One of the best things about perfumes for girls is that you don’t have to shy away from aromas grown-ups can’t quite pull off — think notes like decadent marshmallow, pink cotton candy, praline, and alluring fruits. These modern aromas make the perfect ingredients for a first fragrance: They’re unique and comforting — and you’ll want to remember them forever.
