Perfume choices?
What do you think is the minimal age that you can wear perfume? being in high school and being hit in the face with smells of BO and AXE spray is horrible, but I'm almost 18 and I'm not really upping my age at all (I don't keep up witht he laest fashion, heels aren't ym thing). I kind of thought that a perfume would be nice and could be discrete if it's a faint smell.
I'm not a fan of like really noticable ones but there was this article I found of new perfumes that someone using perfume for the first time would try since it can hlep you with even weight loss, etc. I was kind of concerned because the same perfue could smell different depending on the person's own body but these ones kind of stabalize things.
My list includes:
Tsi-La Misaki
Pacifica Mediterranean Flag
Giorgio Armani Acqua di Gioia
Dawn Spencer Hurwitz
C.O. Bigelow Lemon Eau de Parfum
Harvey Prince Eau de Lite
What is your opinion? And have you used any of these?

Personally, I hate being stuck in a fog of cheap scents. I do like using a bit of nice perfume every once in a while, though.
You really can't go by someone else's opinion of a scent. To one person something might smell light and citrusy, and to another it smells like you're wearing a citronella candle around your neck.
When you go to check out perfumes, bring a little baggie of coffee with you. It can help to 'reset' your nose in between scents. If you find one you like, have it sprayed on you. It can change with the heat of your body and with time, so walk around for a good half hour to see if you still like it. I've done this experiment before, and what smelled lovely the moment it was sprayed smelled like rancid flower compost 20 minutes later. Or I just decided I didn't like the smell enough to carry it with me all day.
Personally, I use Vera Wang's Princess. The best way I can describe it is lavender with notes of chocolate. It's not too flowery or musky, and it doesn't make you smell like a pre-teen. I also have a lotion for days when I don't want such an intense scent. A little on my wrists is all I need, and it lasts longer than perfume. I strongly suggest that route if you're looking for subtlety. Most perfumes also come in a lotion.

I haven't used any of these products, but some of them are more popular scents and could get kind of pricey. If you are looking for a lighter scent, body sprays that have more of a flower scent is nice. I use a perfume called "cherry vanilla" and then use a vanilla body spray over it to give it a more lighter vanilla scent with a hint of cherry. My husband loves it and I have gotten alot of compliments on it. And the best part is that you can get the perfume at walmart for under $10.00 and the body spray for around $5.00 at walmart as well. Another alternative is a perfume called Vanilla Fields, which dous have more of a perfume smell but not as strong as many of your musks. It's really all about personal choice in which scent you prefer. Another option is to go to your local department store and ask to "test" different scents and perfumes. This will give you a better idea what you will like. If one really stands out, ask them to spray some on you. Wait about 5 minutes and then you will have a better idea of how it will smell after it has evaporated a little bit. you can also take your friends and make a day out of it, what better than to get some honest opinions while your having fun? Godd luck, hun :)
