Looking for a fresh / summery, not to overpowering, perfume for Chrissy for my teenage daughter.
I don't actually own any perfume myself so wouldn't know where to start.
What are your recommendations?
We have a chemist warehouse locally that has hundreds, just don't know where to start.
This is a place where women from different backgrounds, cultures and beliefs come together to support one another judgement free.

Perfume is such a personal choice and it might smell great on one person but crap on another.
Why not duck into chemist warehouse to grab ‘Something’ with your daughter and just ‘stop’ to smell the options they have and see what she likes 😉
Daisy by Marc Jacobs if it’s within the budget!
The Rihanna perfumes are really nice, and cheap. But I agree with the first comment, it’s so hard to pick perfume for another person. It’s such a personal thing and everybody loves different things
Body shop body sprays are nice too. I think lush make them now too. And I think as a teen, getting anything nice is special, it's a good introduction. If it's sweet and light they'll likely love it.
Tommy Girl is a good one. If you're not investing a lot of money in it I don't mind one of the Rihanna ones too and I usually loathe cheap perfumes. Grab it when they have them for $20-30.
Nude was the one I like, currently 25 bucks.
When I was a that age I always gravitated toward the vanilla/chocolatey/spicy fragrances (and still do - my current fave is I'm Home solid perfume from Lush, it's lasted a year so far)
and my friends always went toward citrus-based fragrance. As a previous poster said it is so personal and everyone's body reacts differently to fragrance, a perfume can smell amazing on one person and terrible on another. If you're set on buying her a perfume, do what the first person said and take her into a few places and get her opinions.
