The Scent of a Woman.............at any age.
Scent 'restores youthful allure'

A mystery chemical signal that young women give off appears to work for post-menopausal women too.

A Harvard University researcher added the pheromone to the perfume of older women and found it had a positive effect on their romantic lives. New Scientist magazine reports they had more dates or affection from their partners if they used the treated scent rather than an untreated version.
Other experts said they needed to know more about how the chemical might work.
Pheromones are invisible natural scent signals which alter animal behaviour. In the animal kingdom they are widely used to attract mates, but controversy surrounds their effect on humans....cont'd

1. I love New Scientist
What a mix of solid science and (clearly labeled) wild speculation.
