WHY CAN’T I SMELL MY PERFUME ANYMORE?

This article explains that there may be two main reasons why a perfectly healthy person (thus excluding anosmia and various clinical pathologies associated with loss of smell) is no longer able to perceive his scent. The first of these can be due to addiction. Our sense of smell is alert to identify danger signs or smells related to food, so our perfume, recognized and classified as a familiar smell that does not fall into the two categories just mentioned, is overshadowed. The other reason may simply be due to the excessive evaporation of the perfume itself. Read the article to find out how to be able to perceive your perfume or make it last longer.
