You Smell Like an Old Lady

There's a new fragrance out there that says it turns back time -- so you don't smell like Nana.

Fragrance designer Harvey Prince has launched a new scent that claims to make women smell younger. Ageless Fantasy (sounds like a soft porn title) is being marketed as the first "anti-age perfume." "Research has proven that men around women who use Ageless Fantasyâ„¢ believe them to be at least eight years younger!"

According to Prince, you might be getting better with age, but you're not smelling so hot -- that "old lady smell" is for real. A study by the Journal of Investigative Dermatology found that women in the 40 plus age group have more than twice the levels of 2-Nonenal -- which is associated with a 'grassy, greasy' odor," -- and "Grassy and Greasy" is not a good name for a perfume.

Ageless Fantasy, which sells for $120, is a blend of tropical flavors of pineapple, mango and leafy greens that "have been known to bring a feeling of comfort often associated with positive childhood memories, thus giving a sense of coziness, youth and joy." We don't know about you, but our childhood smelled more like stink bombs and hamsters.

Do you think a perfume could fool anyone into thinking you're younger?
