<span>One possible explanation is that you've become nose blind to the scent of the perfume. You're wearing the perfume, so you quickly get used to the scent and soon don't notice it anymore, whereas other people notice the scent because they are not nose blind to it.</span>

If after a few minutes of spraying perfume on your body, you longer perceive or smell the perfume, but other people that come in contact with you can smell that perfume, one possible reason why this happens is what is called habituation or olfactory adaptation.

<h2>Further Explanation</h2>

Molecules pass through an individual’s nostrils when they inhale and these molecules bond or stick to the wall of mucus within the receptor cells. Now what happens is that the receptor cells will inform the brain to decode or confirm if the smell is safe or if it’s not safe.

But if the perfumes appear to be safe, its smell will fade and an individual will no longer perceive or smell the perfume but other people that come in contact with you can smell the perfumes

Olfactory adaptation is also known as olfactory fatigue; it is a temporary but normal inability to differentiate a certain odor after being exposed to it for a very long time.

Some of the Examples of olfactory adaptation include

  • Neutral adaptation
  • Sensory adaptation

Both examples of olfactory adaptation refer to a gradual decrease in the response of the sensory nervous system to a stimulus.

Therefore, one possible reason why you can no longer smell the perfume is due to habituation or olfactory adaptation.
