Danish researchers have found people s sense of smell changes as they get older and managed to to pin down which aromas get less pungent over time.
Aromas of coffee, and bacon fade away once you pass 55, but smells of oranges, raspberries, and vanilla remain powerful.
Older people were also more likely to dislike coffee aromas, though they continued to enjoy smells of fried food.
Scientists at the University of Copenhagen managed to pin down which smells fade, and which do not, through an experiment comparing 343 people aged 20 to 98.
