As a parent who is just beginning to deal with attachment (after a few years of pretending that wasn't the problem)....it sound a lot like there are attachment issues. She is feeling the need to be in control. I agree greatly with what someone already mentioned, you can't ask "why"...it's giving the child the opportunity to lie. If you address it head on, there isn't that option for her. I'm sure there is more to the story, but I was also wondering why she can't wear perfume at 15? Is it against school rules? Although with AD kids you must assert control with them - I still think there is such a thing as choosing your battles. I would be much more concerned if she were lying about being with boys or drinking...which at that age are big issues.
Good luck!
