If BS had asked for that cologne for a 19th birthday or school leaving present, I don't find it surprising that his father would give it to him. It seems more economical than some of the gifts kids get now for becoming an adult. (Stand-up paddleboards, all-expenses-paid trips out of the country, etc.)
I won't get into him paying for his own suit, but I will say that in some schools, a new suit is a gift from parents. For girls, prom dresses costing bridal gown prices are the norm.
Yes, $100 sounds very reasonable in those circumstances.
With cologne he may have graduated from Axe Body Spray...the shower alternative for teen boys. Just as an aside, not sure how many here are aware that perfume and cologne can also make an excellent mosquito repellent. Perhaps BS was dousing himself heavily along the Nelson! May have kept the mosquitos at bay, but may have also acted as a pheromone for a randy bear! Law of unintended consequences.
Eau de repellent? Victoria's Secret perfume turns off mosquitoes
