I had some fair doubts that a simple fragrance could transport me back to my 20s, but I had to give it a go in the name of science! I was thinking it would be something like my go-to fragrances (Love's Baby Soft or Debbie Gibson's Electric Youth) for cruising the roller skating arenas in the early 80's but it wasn't even close. Ageless Beauty is reported to be a tropical blend of pineapple and mango, with undernotes of musk and jasmine, so I was expecting it to bring the fruity goodness but when I popped the top, I was hit by a distinct smell that read "air freshener". I asked my husband for his opinion and he said one word "hospital". Ouch. Don't judge it based on the first whiff, though, because thankfully, once you apply, the notes open up and translate to a light, feminine fruity smell with a definite undertone of pomegranates and it seemed to have a mood lifting component as well. I certainly didn't look any younger in the mirror, nor did I receive any compliments on my fragrance during the week of testing it. Perhaps my "spray and walk away" method only turned back the clock 4 years? I wonder if I bathed in the stuff, could I get back to my teens? Would the bouncers at clubs start carding me again?

In the end, there are so many amazing therapeutic products out there that actually do improve skin tone and texture that I'd rather save my $120 for something that is more than a Fantasy, but if you've already got the best serums and moisturizers that money can buy, Ageless Fantasy might be just the thing for you. But seriously, did you know that you can still buy Love's Baby Soft for practically nothing?
