RL Romance is popular enough...if it smells like it, it should sell! Oana, I still haven't smelled the stuff. RL Romance is popular enough…if it smells like it, it should sell!

So "pink" and so uninteresting :) Though marketing idea should work for someone who wants to be desperately younger.. :) I am going to wash it away. Too shallow for me.

I'm too lazy to see if it's possible to google all the times "old lady scent" has appeared on NST, but if you did, you'd probably see me being as irascible as anyone about it. I personally love the fact that I am old enough to wear some of the heavy duty chypres, and things like Youth Dew, which I love, and that they really suit me know (or so I flatter myself). It is interesting to contemplate the physiological changes that must occur to make us love things we once were indifferent or worse to, and of course the psychological factor is there as well. I like to think that, as been stated elsewhere, that we get away from wanting to wear perfume as artificial pheromone (i.e. the fruity floral that seems to be the olfactory mating call du jour) and more for it's intrinsic beauty, or interest, or even intimidation factor (I'm raising my hand here). So anyway, welcome to the "old lady scent" controversy. I'm glad your mother digs Youth Dew, I love it and always feel like I have to jump up and defend it. Cheers!

Obviously that's not true for everyone, and if you take up perfume as a hobby your tastes are likely to expand dramatically. Also quite true that your sense of smell weakens as you age, and so light fragrances are going to be less appealing to you.
