• Age 14 to 20 -- pure, fruity and sweet scents that remind you of things you'd eat -- like lemons, bubble gum and cotton candy
• In your 20s -- slightly more complex scents -- one that layers citrus with vanilla or caramel, for example -- that are still light and fresh enough to seem youthful
• In your 30s -- perfumes with floral bases and layers of scents like jasmine, mandarin and pear
• In your 40s and 50s -- heavier perfumes with flowery, spicy or oriental tones
• In your 60s, 70s and up -- complex florals with powdery aromas
