Description
Creators of this interesting fragrance got an idea to offer Ageless Fantasy as the first anti-age perfume, which returns time! There is nothing physical in the fragrance itself to make minutes and hours go back, but the fragrance is developed on the concept that certain perfume notes can return woman to younger age.
The owner, Harvey Prince from New York, and founder of the story of youth perfume, Kumar Ramani, took rose aromas as an example and asked thousands of men what this scent reminds them of. Most of them answered: ‘of an elderly woman’. The question was what most people associate with youth.
Kumar Ramani’s sons mentioned their mother, who picks up their younger sister from school, looks younger, dresses and taks that way, so she should smell like youth, as well. This perfume was supposed to be a gift for her on Mother’s Day, but the idea was developed through columns and writings by Chandler Burr, perfume critics who works for the New York Times, and by Alan Hirch, neurologist and psychiatrist who lives and works in Chicago and is known for numerous books he wrote on olfactory sense and scents.
Ramani cooperated with the house of Ungerer & Company, and showed them his ideas on the fragrance. So a simple, joyful, youth perfume which includes exotic fruity notes appeared. The perfume Ageless Fantasy offers mango and pineapple in the very beginning, the heart is enriched with jasmine and cherry blossom, while sensual musk creates a finish. It is available as 100 ml edt. The bottle is of pink, youth nuances. Ageless was launched in 2008.

I have a rollerball of this one. One thing I appreciate about this company is that it is very cheap to try out rollerballs of their perfumes – they almost always have a deal where you only need to pay shipping. And the rollerball bottles themselves are really beautiful, lovely glass rectangular bottles. This fragrance I liked a lot better when I first tried it than I do now. At first, it feels super happy, uplifting, fresh, and juicy. And it still is all of those things! I especially get the mango note – like a greenish mango skin that isn’t completely ripe. But unfortunately there isn’t much else to this fragrance…the “white musk” comes out more as it dries down, but I don’t think it ever really changes into something more sophisticated, nor does it last all day. Do I think it’s ageless? No, it’s not ageless, it definitely has a very young feel. I think I would prefer something with a bit more body. It’s a good refresher scent though.

This is a great, light, fruity scent for kids. It smells cheap, like a bath and body works lotion, which doesn’t necessarily have to be a bad thing. If I had a free bottle of it I wouldn’t be ashamed to wear it during the early summer, at the beach. It’s a light, simple scent. 5/10

Ageless? No. It’s age-appropriate for a middle school student.
This is a straight-up Bath and Body Works style fragrance. It’s candy sweet, and the notes are indistinct. It starts with fruit soup maybe mango, maybe cucumber, maybe cantaloupe. It’s really impossible to sort. It transitions into a floral mash-up and then it’s a smidge of vanilla.
It’s not horrible, but it’s very tween especially the top note. In fact, mine is getting passed off to a young niece who will enjoy it.

I agree, it’s a light, fresh slightly floral citrus. It isn’t going to get you compliments or drag anyone into bed by their nose, but it’s a good day scent, and I’m fond of it. I hate the name, though. Perfume can’t make you younger and I’m of an age where I’m expected to scramble after lost youth, so telling anyone my perfume is supposed to make me ‘smell younger’ (huh?) sounds desperate. That aside, it’s very pretty, easily worn day wear. Pacifica has a few citrus scents that are equally lovely, but they don’t last past ten minutes, and this will last softly all day.

I didn’t get any fruit at all. I got a white floral vibe. It reminded me of soap but not unpleasant. I’m surprised it’s marketed as anti-aging since it reads solid middle age to me. At least it’s not a heavy perfume scent. It’s good if you want a fresh, light, floral.

This smells like fruity hairspray. The alcohol is strong and cheap, and the pink grapefruit is overwhelming. Enough said, save yourself a few coins and buy a much better fruity body spray from The Body Shop, B&BW, Pacifica, L’Occitane, etc that doesn’t have that strong alcohol blast alongside it.

I received this as a gift and hoped that I would like it. This stuff stinks. End of story. Too sweet.

I got a sample of this from a friend and my brain straight up interprets the notes on this one as being straight “cucumber melon.”

This is a beautifully fresh uplifting fragrance. It is light and clean but has terrific longevity and sillage at the same time. I’ve never smelled anything like it! The combination of juicy bright fruits like grapefruit, mango, and pineapple, tempered with oh so feminine jasmine…then slowly enveloped by sensuous musk is fantastic! It is indeed AGELESS! Anyone can wear this. But, personally, I love how it is a journey from fresh to feminine to sensual…all the while clean and perfect for women of any age. To those who find the name and claims “gimmicky.” I don’t know about all that. But I do love the idea of a scent that makes you feel ageless — it’s not about feeling young or old to me per se…just simply ageless. That’s the power of the Harvey Prince’s perfumes I’ve tried anyway…they all have this unique ability to make you smell totally unidentifiable by age…they’re not “mature” scents like Shalimar or Poison and classics like those — and they’re not teeny bopper scents like some unnamed celebrity fragrances or other sugary confection that are popular for about 2 minutes. These have true staying power because they give a woman what she wants — which is EVERYTHING! Ageless has fruit fresh notes, floral feminine notes, and sensual musk notes. What more could you ask for? I adore it!!!

This one smelled better in the bottle than on my skin. I didn’t get much of the fruit beyond the first 5 minutes. It dries down to a generic bouquet of white flowers. It’s not a bad fragrance, but it seems a bit outdated to me. It should be a safe, everyday fragrance to wear to the office. Not bad, but nothing too exciting. I highly recommend checking out Eau Fling and Eau Flirt, those ones are special and unique.

I get strong citrus and later, vanilla. It’s definitely energizing and uplifting, but maybe a little sweet smelling for my taste. It would be a great pick me up for down days or days you were tired. I don’t know if I will wear this every day, but I can see it having a place in my rotation.

Another reviewer said that this smells like someone dressing too young. That’s it exactly! So SWEET, but not in a good way. I get the tuberose & jasmine overloaded, the fruit adds more sweetness but smells like fruit cocktail in a can. Sounds like it smells different on everybody. Not good on me 🙁

This smells like fruity, berry-heavy home fragrance. It’s uplifting, refreshing and sweet at the same time, but I wouldn’t want it on my body all day. It reminds me of a woman who is dressing too young for her age. She goes to clubs and orders cosmos, appletinis or some gross fruity drink and wears miniskirts, lots of sparkly pink things and tight shirts with her decollette hanging out. Honey, be you… but be sophisticated. You ain’t a kid no mo’. Don’t accept from the crap media what you are supposed to look like, smell like, or wear to seem vibrant and desirable. Live a little- try a greyhound with a splash of Campari. That’s still refreshing and pink, yet respectable and authentic! Unlike this perfume.
I also find the marketing vile and offensive. My tester says something about feeling “young, thin and beautiful.” It shows a skinnny woman getting leered at by several young men. As if it’s the end all, be all result. I know several perfumes that turn heads, and they don’t need to illustrate it on the packaging.

LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS PERFUME! IT IS NOT OVERPOWERING, IT IS A PERFECT SCENT FOR EVERYDAY OR EVERY NIGHT. I GET SO MANY COMPLIMENTS AND ASKED ALL THE TIME “WHAT KIND OF PERFUME ARE YOU WEARING IT SMELLS SO GOOD?” THAT IS HOW I FOUND OUT ABOUT AGELESS FANTASY. I WAS IN AN ELEVATOR AND THE WOMAN NEXT TO ME WAS WEARING “AGELESS.” I JUST HAD TO FIND OUT THE NAME OF THE PERFUME SHE WAS WEARING BECAUSE THE ELEVATOR SMELLED LIKE FRESH FLOWERS BUT NOT OVERPOWERING. I’VE BEEN WEARING AGELESS EVER SINCE AND HAVE NOT WORN ANOTHER PERFUME SINCE. YOU MUST BUY THIS PERFUME, I WOULD NOT BE WRITING THIS REVIEW IF I DID NOT FEEL AS STRONGLY AS I DO ABOUT THIS SCENT. THEY SHOULD HAVE NAMED IT “UNFORGETTABLE” BECAUSE YOU WILL NEVER FORGET THIS SCENT IT IS WONDERFUL, TRULY.

I really like this scent!
It starts out with fresh pink grapefruit, quickly followed by pineapple and apple. It’s fruity, but on me, not overwhelming…the leafy green notes keep it fresh. The florals come through without being overpowering, and the dry down is nice and soft.
I think it’s a good scent for day.
kosteymk – :
oh my! im shocked that people dont love this..omg..to me it smells clean, feminine, and just …wonderful..well thats how it is….different noses and body chemistry! BUT on me, its nice and people love it and say oOOH u smell gorgeously yummy! lol..(btw i only havd a sample and use it sparingly (i guess thats the trick..use very little so when a little breeze goes by you and others can softly smell it

A horrible, cheap, vulgar, pungent stew of artificial fruit flavours. Awful.
tardSoano – :
Another reviewer said this lasts long. Hmmm. Not on me, it doesn’t. Extremely weak. After a couple hours I remembered I was sampling it and had to put my wrist in front of my nose. Nothing. Re-sprayed and tried to pay more attention. Vaguely smell something, but it’s so weak, it’s hard to tell.
labada7 – :
Haha! Laughed out loud at the previous review as I also thought the only way this perfume made me feel younger was that it smells like a teen perfume. I found it rather cheap, overbearing and unsophisticated. Dreadful.
САУРОН – :
Just tried this today for the first time. Got a sample of it in my birchbox. This opens very fruity and I do get the pineapple and a little sweet pea. It end very soft and and fruity with a very very small touch of musk and vanilla on my skin. This is a great spring/summmer fragrance. As lovely as it is I won’t be purchasing it because it’s not my style of fragrance. I feel like I am wearing 15 year old perfume (hence the name “ageless”).
yaglovo – :
This is very surprising. It kinda makes me think of U4eahh! 2.43 by Yosh, but it’s soooooo much more subtle and sophisticated! Where U4eahh! is too loud and allmost un-perfume-like, Ageless Fantasy is a genuine longlasting fresh perfume. Ageless Fantasy is feminine but not sweet, it’s great for everyday wear, not overpowering but definitely present. I’m not sure it really makes you seem younger, but I’ll test it on my colleagues tomorrow and see how it goes. This scent is different enough for me to want to wear it and I guess that’s a good thing.

This is probably the most outdated floral fragrance I have recently smelled. When I sprayed this on my wrist, I did not get any of the grapefruit or other tropical fruits- just very strong floral (Think White Easter lily and sweet pea). It gave me a headache. The bottle is not sealed, it is a twist off sprayer- therefore leaks. There are definitely younger smelling tropical fragrances on the market today that are less expensive, non headache inducing, and better smelling. Strong florals are not a smell that men seem to enjoy. Definitely not a sexy young perfume. Not recommended!!!

I just bought this and it is very addictive. I love the notes and it is not as sweet as I thought.The musk and cherry blossom wrap around the sweet notes. Even my daughter who gets headaches from most perfumes loves it. I got it from Strawberrynet.com but they took almost 10 days to deliver it to me.

This is a lovely, fresh fragrance. It’s energizing, breezey and light. According to the packaging the top notes are pink grapefruit, pineapple, mango, apple, leafy green and pomegranate. Middle notes are jasmine, lilies of the valley, cherry blossoms and peonies. The base notes are soft musk, precious woods and vanilla. On me, I definitely smell the grapefruit, which I love, pineapple and apple. Then there’s the scent of cherry blossoms, apples and peonies. It’s pricey, but I do like it a lot. I’m not sure if it will make me smell/appear younger… Too soon to tell!
