Perfume Expert Reveals Scents That Make You Smell ‘Dated’ – and It’s Not Florals

A fragrance expert reveals which scents can make you appear older, emphasizing that the key is to find a well-balanced fragrance with modern interpretations. While floral notes are common, heavy, overly sweet, or powdery fragrances can feel dated. The expert recommends seeking fresh, green, woody, citrus, gourmand, or aquatic notes for a more contemporary feel. Sultry scents with amber, musk, and oud can also be alluring, while bright, fresh, and fruity notes offer a youthful and playful appeal.
