Why does perfume smell disappear?

[Skylarking]

Is it because our body gets used to the smell and filters it out or something? I can smell perfume on others quite well but after a while i can't smell mine anymore. It makes me nervous when around people cause i don't want to smell like a perfume factory either by spraying too much but at the same time i dont want to have no scent at all (or worse a bad scent). So either the perfume i use sucks or my body filters the smell from me?

The smell goes away because the chemicals evaporate or stop reacting over time.

It's a combination of factors.

1) Over time you become "noseblind" to your own bodily smells or smells that are in the environment around you. Case in point: If you go to a little town called Taft in California, the first thing you notice is that it smells like a gigantic wet fart. That's the oil leases they have running there. After a few hours you hardly notice it, and after a day or so, you forget about it (except for the few minutes after you wake up and your nose has "soft reset" overnight).

2) Evaporation, rubbing off of particles from the spray, other stronger environmental smells. Perfumes are liquids. As such, they do evaporate over time. Temperature and humidity play a large role in how long those particles stay adhered to skin. Rubbing of clothing or jewelery can also dislodge those particles sooner than they would otherwise go on their own.

3) The ever present, even if in "not noticeable", sweat (urea). Your body does sweat. You may not notice it much or at all if it doesn't become a drenching type of sweat that you can see or physically feel by force, but it does happen. Urea breaks down anything you have on your skin. It's acidic - that's why sweat burns your eyes when water does not.

4) Your own pheromones may actually conflict with the perfume, thus diluting it instead of enhancing it. This one's the hardest to deal with because picking a scent you like that also closely resembles or enhances your own bodily scent is very difficult. That's why so many people end up just overkilling with perfume and turning others off - they use a perfume too strong or of the wrong scent and the result is less than pleasing. This one will take experimentation to figure out which scent you like that seems to work best with the people you're trying to attract.

Protip: If it's hot and humid, skip the perfume and stick with sunscreen/anti-persperant. Your perfume will see the least amount of "uptime" in those conditions.

You just get used to smelling it and get desensitized to it. I feel the same way about my body wash.

This is also the reason for the rule that if you can smell your own perfume/aftershave/body spray or whatever, then you are wearing too much. There are also some tricks you can use to make your perfume last longer (for others to smell): http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/ar...-make-day.html

Evaporation, rubbing off of debris from the spray, different stronger environmental smells. Perfumes are drinks. As such, they do evaporate through the years. Temperature and humidity play a large function in how long those debris stay adhered to skin. Rubbing of apparel or jewelery can also dislodge those particles sooner than they might in any other case pass on their own. But if really want best one perfume, then read the reviews[/URL] first for choosing the best.

A lot of it's just volatility.

Because there is a god that knows stepping into a elevator during morning rush hour in a office building can sometimes be vomit and migraine inducing levels of fake stank.

Is it because our body gets used to the smell and filters it or something like that? I can smell the perfume of others well, but after a while I will not smell it. It makes me nervous when people around me make me not spray perfume with a lot of spray, but at the same time I do not want to smell at all (or worse, it smells bad). Does the perfume I use suck or does my body filter the odor?

But don't worry you can try WBM BODY SPRAY that lasts longer and will not fad way, you will smell it for longer time.
