Age appropriate fragrances.?

Sounds kind of silly, but here goes.Do people out there believe once a gal reaches a certain age she should change her fragrance accordingly?My Auntie Muriel for example, she was well into her 70's and she wore Estee Lauder Youth Dew(LOL ironic, I know!) I'm 51, is there any unwritten rule that says I HAVE to wear an "older lady" type perfume?!

Update:

LOL, old lady smell. I've always wondered what that meant....Moth balls? Ben Gay?Lavender?!

    No

    Try something like:

    1. Jador'e dior

    2. Viva la juicy

    3.light blue

    4.Chanel Chance eau tendre

    These are fragrences that any age would love. You don't have to wear a "old lady perfume" just because you are a lady of a certain age. Wear what you like.

    You can wear whatever perfume you like. There's no rules regarding what kind of person you have to be in order to wear a certain fragrance. Or that if you hit a certain age you have to wear a certain type of perfume.

    Guys can wear women's perfume. Older women can wear perfume meant for younger women and so on. Do what makes you happy. Hey, even if you still want to rock out with Pink Sugar at the age of 95, then grab your guitar!

    No way if you like the way the perfume smells then get it, i would never get one that i didn't really like just because i thought it was age appropriate

    Absolutely not! You smell how you want to smell. Besides I wouldn't want people walking by me thinking that I smell like old lady. lol
